John James Auduben, an American naturalist and bird lover, who did per- haps more than any other man to in- terest Americans in their native birds, was born in Meadville, La., of French parents, in 1780, He studied in France. In 1798 he settled near Phil- adelphin, : where he lived for ten - “yenrs. devoting -himself to the study of birds. Later he spent copsiderable time ‘in the West, wandering through the woods In close touch with, his feathered friends. —In 1826 Audubon went to Engiand, exhibiting his bird rawings, which “he finally f)ubnshed work -containing 435 colored plates,of Dirds the size of life, entitled “rhe Birds of America.” A copy of this compiete work today s worth a small fortune. On, his return to America’ Audubon faborpd on an fllustrated work, “The Quadrupeds of America.” ~ Audubon never instituted any moyement for the preservation of birds, for in his day much of the country was wild, and it looked as though there were mno danger 6f birds ever becoming extinet, 1t was his genuine love for the feath- ered folk that caused the Audubon society to be named for him. The Autubon society has done much to prevent wanton destruction and to create a sentiment against ‘the wear- | Ing of hirds and feathers on millinery. 1t is largely due to Audubon societies throughout the country that large tracts of ground’have been set apart as bird reservations.
