E. H. DAVISON AN ADMIRER OF NATURE Presents Case for Birds to Museum at Institute Although the nesting season of birds hereabouts is over, it will, nevertheless, not be a difficult mat- ter to discover at any time the clever- ly hidden homes of many of the feathered woodland dwellers, by sim- ply paying a visit to the Institute Museum.| With the exception of or- nithologists and bird students there are few people who have had the pleasure of finding bird houses even in the height of the nesting season. But how many persons have wished and longed that they might be able to discover the home of some choice songster or bright plumaged dweller of the wild? The most learned men of the day realise the great worth of bird study, and many have declared in the most emphatic terms that the country would be wonderfully benefited ‘f the young people were given proper instruction on the habits of birds, in- sects and other creatures in their re- lation to agriculture; and, also, on matters relating to the preservation of the forests and natural resources. Here in New Britain—the heart of great industrial activity,—dwells one, who although much engrossed in bus- iness, has always found time to go afleld and get acquainted with the birds and other wild life which abound in the surrounding hills and woods. To one who really loves and knows the great out-of-doors, he de- sires that all should understand the healthfulness and joy there s in going into the wild. Believing that it is for the benefit of the young citi- izens to encourage them to get fa- miliar with birds and nature, E. H. Davison, president of the American Heosiery Co. and president of the Sav- ings Bank of New Britain, who for many years has taken keen pleasure in frequently roaming about in the Connecticut hills and valleys, has made it possible for the Museum of Natural History and Art of the Iew Britain Institute to secure a cleverly arranged case of birds, show- ing their nesting and feeding habits in such a manner, that it will not fail to cause all who see it to have a strong desire to go into the open more often to get better informed upon such matters. It is a glass case nearly nine feet in length, about five feet wide and aix feet in height, arranged with artificlal plants, rocks, stumps and the lke, to give it as near as pos- sible, an appearance of the real out- shown nesting and feeding as they do in life. It will be the means of opening the eyes of many to the beauties and wonders of featherdom. The case will be placed in position for the benefit of the public during ‘“Museum Week,” October 8 to 13. DIPLOMATIC COURIER. Did Not Bring Supposed Supplement- ary German Communication. Paris, Sept. 29.—The diplomatic courier who brought the Austrian re- ply to the Pope’s peace note to Rome did not bring the supposed supple- mentary German communication con- cerning Belgium. “That communication,” adds a Ha- vas despatch from Rome, ‘‘can then be considered as non-existent.” A despatch from Berne given out by the Wireless Press in London on Sept. 26 said Germany has agreed to evac- uate Belgium on certain conditions. The proposal was said to have been made in a supplementary note to the Vatican. It was in the form of a ver- bal communication made by Foreign Secretary Kuehlmann to the Papal nuncio at Munich. MAY BE BACK. Striking Steel Workers to Decide To- day About Resuming Operations. San Francisco, Sept. 29.—Resump- tion of work on one-eighth of the entire shipbuilding contracts let by the government rested today on the action of members of the boilermak- ers union who voted last Thursday night against returning to a tempo- rary wage scale which had been rati- fled by a majority of the member unions of iron trades council.
