NEW DEVELOPMENT IN NATURE SCIENCE
Talks to Bird la Their Owi

Nature study parties under his leader-
hip have been astonished to a boy
call Itl their own language to the wild
birds of the woods and bring them to his
nee. This New York young man Is J.
Alden Loring, now well known to natu
ralists because of his personal Intimacy
with those whom he affectionately terms
the little people of the wilds.
Knowing every bird and animal of this
country by Its ote or cry. he has the
knark of Imitating many species, actually
holds conversation with them In their own
tongue and on remarkably short acquaint
ance Inspires them with confidence In his
friendly attitude.
Me has demonstrated how easy It is to
get on familiar terms with the wild anl
mala and ,blrds and Is one of the small
number of modern naturalists who are
starting a new development In nature
science, vnstly more fascinating and sym
pathetic than the older shotgurr and
stuffed skin method.
"Now. bcforb the season Is far advanced.
Is the time opportune for gaining acquaint
ance with notes of birds." he said to the
writer the other day as the two sat among
the great ferns of a Long Island swamp
watching the squeaking flocks of herons
flying among hundreds of nests In a big
colony. "Later the birds do not sing so
much as In the spring and early sum

birds of higher order In the foliage all

his teeth.

"Lsta one night the temperature fell to a
point dangerous for the orangs, so giving
the other two an extra blanket, I took the
most delicate one to bed with me I may
remark that they had regular baths. For
some time he sat up trying to catch the
shailows cast by the night lamp, felt my
eyeballs and stroked my hair.
"He laid himself down when I admon
ished him a little sharply to keep still,
but I had not been dosing long when I
was again disturbed. He was sitting on
the washstand, and In his frightened
obedience to my sharper command upset
the water pitcher over both of us and put
out the lignt. He climbed up my legs,
hung an und my neck and cried like a

people thought I was being killed. I had
to tickle his ribs to escape from hla atten

"All of the animals of the mammal de

my opinion, has any power over animals

"Many birds come to each other In an

Experience has now furnished the basis
for better practice. Various kinds of trees
can be grown In these regions which will
serve Just as well for protection and orna

valuable wood. For several years the

CATTLE Receipts for the "week were a
few hundred short of a week ago, but show
a gain of about 2,3uO head over the same
week last year. The general quality 01 mo
cattle was fairly good all the week.
The market on beef steers opened very
satisfactorily this week. The supply of cat
tle on Monday was light and buyers lost
no time in picking up the receipts and there
was a goou, active tone 10 me iraaing uu
through. Prices on that day advanced 10tf
15c, with conditions all In favor or tne sen
Ing Interests. On Tuesday there was no
market, it being ths Fourth, and on
Wednesday shippers apparently tried to
make up for the lost day and cattle re
ceints were heavy. With these heavy re
eelpts came conditions exactly opposite
tnose existing Monaay. Buyers came on
the hill in a bearish mood and were Indif
ferent, there being little or no life to the
trade. Sellers found It difficult to move
their holdings and were forced, to take off
all that had been put on on Monday. Since
the middle of the week the market ruled
generally steady and at the close prices
are In about the same notches as on the
close ot last week, or possibly a little
stronger.
The supply of cows and heifers was light
all the week and there was a good demand
for the desirable kinds. The market for
the week is a little stronger than the close
of last week, although the common, grassy
cows are In poor demand and are only
about steady.
Bulls, veal calves and stags ruled gener
ally steady for the week and there was lit
tle change In prices.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
small this week and the quality of the re
ceipts was rather poor. There is a fair de
mand for rattle of this cities and the mar
ket for the week Is about steady on good
kinds, but lower on others. Representative
sales:
HOGS There was not quite the usual Sat
urday's run here today, about seventy-five
loads being on sale. Conditions were a lit
tle better than yesterday buyers not seem
ing quite so Indifferent. The opening of the
market, however, was very slow and
dratcgy and bidding was a little lower.
Sellers were slow letting go and very little
was done till well along in the forenoon.
Desirable lightweights were In best demand
and were picked up first at stronger prices.
Heavy hogs were hard to move on the
early market, but later bids and salue
on . these kinds showed mtmnvr
prices. The general market was about zc !
hli:her than yesterday's low time, the hum
of the hogs today selling at $5.266.30, with
the popular price at $5.27. After buyers
and sellers got together trading became
fairly active and the market closed strong.

LONDON, July 8 Money was In less de
mand In the market today and suppllei
were scarcer owing to large repayments to
the Bank of England yesterday and to the
fact that an additional 85.ooo.ooo is due on
Mondsy. Business on the Stock exchange
was dull and Irregular and uneasiness was
felt concerning the Kaffir settlement. Con
sols were easy, depressing home rails
Americans opened dull snd Irregular. They
Improved somewhat In spots, but the
movements were mostly downward an
the market closed quiet. Japaneso were
offered In anticipation or the new loan,
which was quoted at a small premium.
Kaffirs were the center of Inierest. They
relapsed on continued liquidation.

today had a firm tendency.

here were very good, being right up to
Chicago, and there has been a good active
trade all the week. The light receipts of
the week were not responsible for the con

mand for sheep of all kinds and buyers
are anxious for supplies. For the week the
market is just about 26o higher than the
close of last week. 1 here were very few
spring lambs received this week and the
market on this kind of stuff shows no ad
vance on sheep owing to the break in prices
at eastern points. There were five cars

FIGHT COST HIM DEARLY
What Yonngr Mr. Hyde Loses la th
Way of Insurance Salaries
nd Fee.
The acceptance of Mr. Hyde' resignation
as an officer of the Equitable la expected
to have far-reaohlng effects In cutting the
lncomo of the young man. In the first
place, it ends forthwith the salary of 8100,008
a year which he has drawn as vice presi
dent of the society.
It is expected that he will soon retire a
vice president of the Equitable Trust com
pany, of the Mercantile Trust company
and of the National Bank of Commerce.
From the first named he received a salary
of $10,000 a year' and from the second a
salary ot $12,000 a year. He got no salary
a vice president of the Bank of Commerce,
nothing but his fee for attending meeting
of the directors.
It is also expected that he will shortly
retire from the directorate ot the fifty-one
corporations to which he was elected be
cause ot hi ownership of a majority, of
the stock ot the Equitable Life. He got a
fee every time the directors of these cor
poration held a meeting, the fee ranging
from $10 to $20. It has been figured that
hla connection with these fifty-one corpora
tions yielded htm In fees alone an annual
income of about $50,000.
In round figures, his retirement a vice
president of the Equitable will cost him In
salaries and fee alone. It 1 estimated,
about $300,000 a year. The money making
opportunities which his connection , with
these corporations gave him were much
more valuable, It Is said, than the salaries
or fees.
At the outset of the fight which ha cost
Mr. Hyde so dearly he valued his stock
control of the Equitable In excess of 110..
000,000, and he refused an offer of 85,000 000
in cash from a syndicate headed by Henry
C. Frick and E. H. Hariiman. Eventually
he sold for $2,600,000, or $7,500,000 less than
his valuation in the early part of Febur
ary. New York World.
