Outing Clothes that Fit 
Duxbak garments are tailored to fit —to give utmost 
comfort, pleasure and satisfaction. They are made to

—ideal for woods, camp and trail—are the only kind

Duxbak is the only rain=proofed, cravenetted 
sportsmen’s clothing. But Duxbak cloth is not heavy or

medium in weight—the finest material of all for 
outing garments^

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per¬ 
fect that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.

AMERICAN ROBINS IN ENGLAND. 
Lord Nortiicliffe during one of his visits 
to the United States fell in love with the Amer¬ 
ican robin, which is very different from the 
English bird of the same name, and determined 
to try and introduce the American robin into 
England. The story of the experiment is told 
in the Daily Mail: 
“When I went in June to see the robins, the 
first crisis of the experiment was occurring. 
There are two crises—the birds must be induced 
to breed and the young must be reared. That 
is the first crisis. The second has yet to come 
—the crisis of migration. If in the late sum¬ 
mer or autumn the birds, old and young, now 
af home in the gardens and park, all disappear, 
the experiment—so far as the first year goes— 
fails; for I can hardly think that in such a case 
there would be a chance of their returning in 
the spring of 1910 . On the other hand, the bird 
keepers and watchers have come with success 
through tlie earlier crisis T.ast spring seven¬ 
teen American robins—nine cocks and eight 
hens—brought from the United States were put 
in a large out-of-door aviary. When I went to 
Guildford early in June I found that a good 
many eggs had been laid in several thrush and 
blackbird nests fixed in the aviary and furbished 
up with dry grass and clay by the breeding 
birds. But several of the hens laid in the same 
nest, there was rivalry and fighting, and some 
of the eggs got broken. Accordingly, the bird 
keeper took the eggs from the aviary as they 
were laid, and set them in clutches of three to 
five in song thrushes’ and blackbirds’ nests in 
the gardens. Most of the eggs were put under 
thrushes, but two lots were put in blackbirds’ 
nests. As a result twenty-four young were 
known to have hatched out before the middle of 
July, when I next went to see the birds. 
“A few of the young American robins were 
transferred from thrushes’ nests to boxes wired 
on one side, and the old birds fed them. But 
two young were found dead one morning, and 
the keeper believed they had been ‘poisoned' 
by their foster parents through jealousy or 
waning affection. So the other young then be¬ 
ing reared were allowed to go free. The old 
thrushes were to be constantly seen feeding the 
young American robins on the lawns after this. 
They appeared to feed them chiefly on some 
small insect found in the short grass, but I 
have not been able to identify the species. The 
chief bird keeper thinks it is a red ant. 
Now comes the most interesting part of the 
experiment so far. Save for two or three pairs, 
the adult American robins were all released 
from the aviary on the day on which the young 
were found dead—roughly, I think, about the 
middle of June. They paired and set about 
nest-building almost at once. 
“A nest was found in the branch of a cedar 
of Lebanon on the terrace; and in another 
cedar I found a nest myself in July, but I think 
it had been deserted. There were three young 
in this first nest all but ready to fly when I saw 
it on July 17 and July 18 . I could see the fluff 
on their heads as they peered over the side, of 
the nest, which was made, externally, of dried 
grass from a meadow just beyond the terrace. 
I believe that three other nests were known of, 
one in the wild garden by the River Wey, an¬ 
other in a little copse or spinney in the park. 
The cocks sang finely in June and July, I was 
told; I have not yet heard the song—only heard 
the call of the old birds as they fed their chicks 
and the call of the fledged and flown chicks. 
“So far the experiment has been remarkably 
successful. The great question, of course, is, 
will any of the birds, old ov young, stay on at 
Guildford, or will they one and all disappear 
completely from England? I understand that, 
though this thrush is a bird of very strong mi¬ 
gratory habit, a few do stay throughout the 
year in North America. If so, is there a chance 
of some of these birds—they must number up¬ 
ward of fifty—staying through the autumn and 
winter in England? The experiment is not only 
an interesting one in acclimatization, but in mi¬ 
gration as well. If these birds, or any of them, 
stay in England through the autumn and winter,
