but another of the mass of things which
constantly show how ignorant ornitholo-
glsts are when it comes to birds.

Mr. Loomis has alsonmnod a. new spe-
cies of sh‘earwater, an ocean bird that he 1
discovered during his months of dailyE
boating 10 miles oi! Monterey, and it will
go into the books as the "Famous gll-' 1

The particular occasion of Mr. Loomic
trip mat was tho thirteenth annual eon- E
grass of the American Ornithological an—
ion at Washington, at which he read a pa E
per quite paralyzing to the bird scientists ‘
there. Loomis has for a great many years
been a special authority on bird 111lgra- E
tion, and it was the discov cries 1 oncormng
the pelagic birds of the Pacific, made dur- E
lag his relentless boating trips for oil tho
shore at Monterey, that he gave to tho sci-
once ct ornithoiogy. The ocean birds of
the Pacific are but very little known, and
from three to ten miles 111! tho i’aeiiic‘
shore anywhere are millions of ocean birds 1
never seen on shore. Loomis got out E
among them daily for montl1.-1,g.1tla1rul

ocean birds, in their long migrations be
tween the arctic and the southern regions
are not guided by instincn but always
keep theshore line in vi1w and are guided
by it. Birds that fly high ily farther from
shore. All swing in to follow the bent! in
the coast line, and during fogs they fly
close to the surf to bognldcd by the sound.
During the 18 months that Professor
Loomis has been here he has increased the
ornithological collection of the Academy
of Sciences, from 13,100 to (1,000 specimens
and is in a hurry to make it 1311,0110, though
this would be small compared with the
three or four great collections of the cast.
The Academy of Sciences is doing notable
work in thoalmost unworked ilcld of the

Purcell.
Purceli's twofold genius for composition
—sacrcd and secular—asserted itself from
the first. Wherever We look in his compo-
sitions, whether in anthem or in opera,
we are immediately convinced of the ex-
coptional power and genius that ho pos—
sessed to mold either vocal or instrumental
music. With Purcell it was a perfectly
natural tbingto (1011111111511. The traditions
of the abbey 200 years ago led older 111111-1i- ‘ '-
cians to delight in the abilities of thoi
youthful chorislcrs, and no direction of,
talent was more regarded than that. of!
compositions. Living in an atmosplivro'
of music, and with great things expected 1
of them, it was not; uncommon for boys to '
be found capable of composing, its occasion
required. Music was 111ilher giound outE
of them nor was it imparted with a nig
gardly hand.
These choristers were trained for and
expected to become church musicians, I
. without any fear and trembling as to how
soon they would displace their masters;E
hence the order of the musician 11"111lved.
