The Vienna Exhibition Makes an Appeal to the World. THE “GREEN INTERNATIONALS.” Congress of Land and Forest Culturists. PROTECTION OF USEFUL BIRDS. VIENNA, Dec, 10, 1873. ‘The “Green Internationals” is aterm which will not be understood by an American at first glance. He knows of the so-called “Black” and the “Red” Internationals, but “green” is a newly created term which the Vienna Exhibition has brought forth, Itis nsed by the Vienna journals to desig- nate the members of the International Land and Forest Cultural Congress, which was held in the Jury Hall, in the Prater, from the 19th to the 25th of September. We have had innumerable congresses in Vienna since May last; some have proved successful, Others flascoed—as, for instance, the Congress on the Patent question, where the Austrian and Swiss patent {reebooters carried the day, and Mr. Thacher was unable to make any im- pression on avery one-sided company. There have been congresses of flax growers, of pomologists, of yarn spinners, of shoemakers, of tailors, of comage men, and a also an International METROBOLOGICAL CONGRESS, at which General Myer, Chief Signal OMcer of the United States Army and special delegate from Washington, proposed a most valuable resolution, which was unanimously passed, to the effect that— It is desirable that at least one observation of such character as to be suitable tor the preparation of vee tical charts be taken daily and simultaneousl, many stations as practicable throughout the world. The present method of each country taking its observations according to its own time will be superseded by all observations being made at the same moment at all meteorological stations, The European meteorologists warmly supported the proposition, and spoke of the advantage the pub- lication of these observations would be to Europe, in view of the prevailing tendency of the currents from west to east, With the introduction of this new method of observation General Myer thinks that meteorology first begins to master its mate- rial. He hopes to be enabled to publish from the new observations synoptic charts for the whole world, instead of, as now, tor America alone. THE “GREEN INTERNATIONALS,” To the Congress of Land and Forest Culturists we have no very tellingrepresentative. We re- gret very mach the failure of our Agricultural De- partment at Washington to see the vast impor- tance of this gathering to ug and to appreciate the great lessons we can learn from these men here assembled. When the Germans talk about patent laws and the rights of inventors we do not care to listen to them; but when they get on subjects they understand they are very instructive and edifying talkers. Now the Germans—especially the Prus- sians—have given for many decades a very careful attention to the culture of their forests, knowing their vast influence on climate, soil, the rainfall and health. And when they talk on such @ gub- ject they deserve consideration. They have also given much attention of late years to the preservation of theif useful birds, and this is a question which is of considerable tn- terest to us. These two questions alone are of suMicient vital importance to our agricultural and other interests to have justified the sending of a special delegate who could have spoken to the Congress and told them what we are doing and what we want todo. Asit was, we had a delegate from some pomological society in Ohio, who, with all his Rappy personal qualities, was not able to take any active part in the Congress. The sub- jects which the Congress discussed are as fol- low! 1, The Protection of Usetul Birds; by the Swiss Minister in Vienna, Von Tschude. nk 2. Agriculiural Statistics; by Ministerial Councillor Loren: 3. Agricultural Experimental Stations ; by Dr. Zoller. 4 Forest experimental Stations; by Professor Baron von Seckendor!. ‘6. The Protection of the Forests; by Dr. Bernhardt. On these subjects a great number of eminent men of Germany spoke, including the naturalist, Dr. Brehm, Protessor Haberlandt, M. Barral, Paris; Dr. Landoll, Zurich; Senator Torelli, Rome, and others. The programme fer the Congress also in- ciuded a number of excursions to various estates and forests in the vicinity of Vienna, and a good number of banquets, luncheons, &c., which similar bodies generally induige in. THE PROTECTION OF USEFUL BIRDS. The first day of the Congress was devoted princi- pally to a discussion of the question, ‘What meas- ures should be adopted for the protection of useful birds?’ It 1s a question which has become one of vital importance to European land and forest cul. turists, since in many countries vast areas of crops and forests have been ruined by the devastations caused by clouds of insects, such as chafers and moths, by caterpillars, by mice and the hundred other species of vermin which multiply to an enor- mous extent when their natural enemies, the birds, are not op hand. I remember some years Mountains, and my attention was attracted in @ certain district of the forest to the fact that the trees had already lost their foliage, although we were only in early summer. covered by millions on millions of may chafers, all busy at the work of devastation. On inquiring of an old forester as to the causes of this phenom- ena he informed me that the chafers develop in such vast numbers once in three years and that the birds of the forest had been destroyed by the birdcatchers to such an extent as to disturb the equilibrium in natural life which is usually found where Nature herself has the care of her domains. ‘We have all heard that story about Frederick II., of Prussia. One day he was walking along the ter- race at Sans Souci and noticed that his beaa- tiul, large grapes were suffering severely under the appetites of the sparrows. Enraged at the impudent thieves he offered a price for their heads, and in a few weeks there was not a single | sparrow in the royal gardens. In the following | year, however, not a single grape ripened, and the | Prussian monarch found that as 800n as the spar- \ rows disappeared the grubs, caterpillars and snails began to commit their depredations unmoiested, and the King found out that, although the spar- rows were great thieves, their useful qualities Jar more than counterbalanced their bad ones. He re- pealed his former edict, and since that time spar- rows and grapes have prospered abundantly av Sans Souch INTERNATIONAL LAWS. ‘This {s a pretty little story, and with many people May tell further thana jong essay on the usetul- ness of birds. Cases could be adduced by the score of the usefulness of many species of birds to agri- culture and the losses to fleld and forest that lave been caused through their wanton slaughter. But | Limagine that enough has been said at home of | the little teathered strangers whose dwelling houses nsed to be fixed im the trees in Union | square and in Central Park, and that most of our | farmers are impressed with the fact of the neces- sity there is of protecting those birds which are useinl in keeping down Offensive vermin, If nos, the resnits oi this International Congress should be sufficient so to do. Here in Vienna the great agri- culturists, horticulturists, forest-culturists and ornithologists pave come to a unanimous decision not only that nseful birds are & necessity to agricultural prosperity, that international laws must be establish wanton destruction of the migratory useful birds be prohibited. Take for instance the lark, a very useful bird, which retarns among earliest to Germany in the spring time, and is @ very 1naustri- ous insect devourcr, gButyt 18 @ very mouthy bird, and the gourmands o: Germany pay a good price for the dozen. So on the plains about Leipsic they are slaughtered every year by the half million; and if they escape destruction there they meet it again in @ more fatal form when they Teach Italy and the entire Mediterranean coast—Jor the Italians inflict an incredible i ter upon the migratory birds. And between the two the German agriculturist’s crops suffer from the raids of caterpillars, larve, grubs and what not, but he compiains in vain, since there are no international laws.

And yet I imagine we are in too early a stage of | she question to demand international laws for the ago travelling through the forests of the Hartz | Looking nearer, I found the ground and the trees | Protection oruserm o1ras, when there cannot 6e base @ single land in Europe where local legisla- nr the subject has met with success, Knact- —_— + for the protection of useful birds have been see tome of the cantonal governments of roe aan nad and by Pi ‘but very little under- — mn the matter has’ been exhibited by the people. then” few lands indeed know the birds rg any Ornithological itfe which are useful or Be pherae Fas harmful; consequently interna- fon WS @ppear at present premature, hese are questions for the future.

Von Tschudi, Swiss Ambassador to Vienn: sup- ported a number of resolutions for protection of useful birds, and laia especial weight on the neces- sity of international treaties to regulate the pres- ervation period lor game, The speaker of the di was Dr. Brehm, the Director of the Berlin Agi rium, perhaps the greatest authority on the jectin Europe. His remarks are exceedingly valua- ble, and deserve to be given in substance. REMARKS OF DR. BRREM. Dr. Brehm answers the question, ‘What meas- ures are to be taken for the protection of birds useiul to the land culturist ?”’ in @ precise manner, Fi referring only to such means as promise real auc- cess. He places as the most prominent measures to be adopted the following :— 1. General instruction in the natu native animals and birds, * "ature end infinence of Promotion of inyiruction in natural history by the introduction of an exhaustiye manual of zoology and botany “in the educatioual course of public ‘end high 3. Yremotion and an active interest in efforts of societies for the protectionol aatmais eon 4. Dissemination of uselul knowledge in this direction through gratis distribution of good books by the govern- ment and societies for the general weal. 5 Especially the distribution of a popular, compen. dious, well-illustrated manual and nandbook of ni animals and plants to all foresters, village schoo! teac ers, rural clergymeD and other. hereane 3 local inf @. Esiabiisiiment of small collections in soadols for tae purposes of object teaching. Dr. Brenm dwelt at length on the great igno- Trance of zoology and botany evident among ordi- nary people, who do not know the commonest ani- mais, birds and planw about them. Without an exact knowledge of the usefulness or injurious- ness of animals and birds there is no posal ity of having them protectea, and no legislation can here should take the place of what every individual know. ‘With increased knowledge comes sym) thy for the animal; with sympathy the inclivation and the effort to protect what should be protected, or to take proper measures to secure its existence. It is not suficient to know @ bird by name; we must know its relation to other birds or animals, its dependency on the plants, in order to judge of and appreciate its in- fluence. Itis not always an easy task to dete! mine whether to count a creature as p! useful or predominantly jurious. In order weigh the uselulness against the ness: bird or animal we require not only a thoro knowledge of the species referred to, but also the animal or vegetable material on which i¢ sna- tains itself, Therefore [ demand not alone a eral dissemination o! ornithological knowle: but general instruction in zoology and bo! '. The school can contribute most in this re The inquisitive child is the warmest friend of ant mals, and only needs to be taught the way to fol- low." Of societies for the protection of es Brehm did not speak in terms of praise. He thi they are too limited in ideas, and manuals of £0- ology were very neceasary for them DUTY OF THY GOVERNMENT. Well as works on the protection of useful birds, are unfortunately scarce, and none of those published come up to Dr. Brehm’s ideal. The books of Swiker, Giebel aud the Brothers Muller are in their way, but some lack thoroughness and all illustrations. Dr. Brehm urges the necessity of the governments aiding in such a publication as be de- sires; that scientific men of the first rank be en- gaged in its preparation and artists of tne highest capacity to prepare the illustrations. “Hundreds of thousands of copies,” he says, ‘must be dis- tributed, and millions of people thus compelled, as it were, to learn the results of impartial research. Each individual land must institute an edition of such a work sulted to its own local necessities. And then if all schools possess a collection of the animals and birds of the district, results will be accomplished surpassing the boldest expectations.” First then, alter a knowledge or ereoe en of has been acquired, is the protection oi the useful kinds possible? Then, to induce the winged visitors to become localized, habitations must be provided for them, not alone in nest boxes, but intrees and hedges and thick underwood, which must be cultivated for them if not there ready. ‘Do not,” says Dr. Brehm, “when thinning wood, lop offevery branch that hasa hole in it, but wherein gardens and grounds such hollow trees and branches are wanting, little mest boxes and hang Then Dr. Brehm went on to distt ih between the useiu!l and injurious birds, remarks on this point will not apply to the birds of America in all cases, We have birds which are not found in Europe, and vice versa, and it must remain with American ornithologists to complete the list, USEFUL AND INJURIOUS BIEDS. Dr. Brehm i3 not a great friend of the sparrows The stariing, he says, is “uncommonly useful.’’ For the encouragement of singing birds, he says, lant hedges, and on the roadside, instead of lars, plant lime, chestnut, maple, elm, willow, beech, Oak, ash, apple and pear trees, result will be that birds willsoon appear. Buzzards and certain kinds of bawks are uselul for killing mice. Most wild birds, with the exception of pheasants, bustards, wood and moor snij spotted plovers, wild gee#e and ducks are uricos. Dr, Brehm mentions as belonging to this category the follow- img:—Golden vuiture, lark hawk, pi mo hawk, wander hawk, magpie, blue hawk (merlin), varie- | ties of eagles, hawks and sparrow hawks, eagle owl, jay, forest or black stork, herons, peli- cans, cormorants, sea gulls and other species. 1 give this list of Dr. Brehm’s, knowing that it wilibe of very slight service to America, however. For the useiul birds Dr. Brehm wished an international law, the prohibition of the wholesale slaughter of useful species, ag carried on in Italy, and of lat ag on the plains of Savoy. Without internatio: laws nothing can be attained, but in the preparing of such laws the greatest caution and know’ must be had. He likewise urged the moderate preservation of certain animals of prey, which, although they destroy birds, do in devou field mice and other vermin. He spoke in favor of foxes, fitchets, ermines and weasels. Altogether the substance of Dr. Brehm's address was that the first thing to be done in protecting the birds is to teach their use or harm in the schools, and place the useful birds and animais under the care oi the Peopie. THR RESOLUTION OF THE CONGRESS are as follows:— The International Congress of Land and Forest Cultar- ists, assembled at Vienna, resolve to petition the Ai triau government to secure the protection of birds, whic! are acknowledged as useful to land and forest culture, } by international treaties with other states, under con- ideration ot the tollowing points xs base are 2 e capture and killing of iasect devouring birds inconditionally forbidde: It is desirable that a special list of the names of such birds as should be protected be published by an ‘erhational commission, composed of men acquainted with the subject. 3 fhe capture of birds which are for the most part Fain eaters shall be permitted from the lst of March to f The capture of birds b f sl d snares, the capture of birds means of slings an offwhatover kind, is totally forbidden. 8) The taking of exes and young, 18 well as the destruc- all birds, with the exception of the inju- taki tion of nests 0 Tious species, are forbidden. 4 list of all injurious birds shall likewise be published by the above named commission. public sale of dead or live insect eating birds is forbidden at all seasons, as well as the of all other species of birds during the season of preservation. This Prohibition likewise extends to ihe sale of the nests of au a | "7. Exceptions to these resolutions can be made at all | times m favor of scientitic objects. The propositions were accepted by an over- | whelming majority. THEN AND NOW. And so we progress, Many, many decades ago good old Mother Church had the entire charge of all the insect and animal vermin that devastated the crops of the peasant. I remember an old | open in the Bavarian bighlands telling me that in his grandiather’s days, When the meadows were devastated by millions Of mice, the sexton was despatchea to a village across the mountains for the crosier of @ certain saint, which was them carried in solemn pfocession over the fields, the | priest leading, the Villagers following, Praying | Reaven to deliver them from the scourge. “Now, | continued the 014 man, ‘we set the village boys an | girls to work, giving them so much a bead for all | the mice they capture, and they are very success- | How amusing read to us now the chronicles ful.” lof the fourteenth, fiiteenth and ater | centuries, when the insect vermin, whic | now the Congress demands shall be taken | in charge by the birds, were summoned before the ecclesiastical courts to answer for their iniquities, whereupon such a curious command as the follow- ing Was issued Rats, caterpillars, snails and all you unclean animals which destroy the harvest of our brothers, begone out of our canton, which you are devastating, and flee to such where you can in- jure no one.” ‘And in order that the vermin could not plead ignorance of their sentence it was made Known in the devastated district by means of ponte criers, amid the blowing of trumpets and eating of drums. What happy times the chafers and caterpiliars and mice must have had in those good old days, which for them are gone, never to return! The Congress is to inaugurate a happy era for all peaceful, insect loving birds, all of w! in America are hereby requested to announce themselves at the Philadelphia Exhibition im 1876, when they will be properly cared for by the Ornithologists there to assembie.
