The same writer mentions a case where an entire forest of the common fir in France had been renewed in this way. Trees and Shrubs of the Ancients, 1865, pp. 27-28. The American Northern pitch possesses the same power in a certain degree. According to Charles Martins, the cedar of Mount Atlas which, if not identical with the cedar of Lebanon, is closely allied to it possesses the same power.
Then he puts on his showy foreign manners, and you say, 'How charming! so different to those dirty, vulgar sparrows! but, as soon as the weather breaks, off he goes. Now, a hard winter is no fun for the sparrows. We are glad of any shelter we can get, and the martins' deserted nests come in very handy.
They seemed to think that bringing men from another world would do the work, and were apt to be disappointed when he started issuing orders. When Dick and his wife were installed in their new home, and the McCarthys settled in a nearby apartment, Morquil hesitated. The Martins were anxious to see their own habitation, and looked at the dome man questioningly. He finally spoke with hesitation.
The flail was busily resounding within it from morning till night; swallows and martins skimmed twittering about the eaves; and rows of pigeons, some with one eye turned up, as if watching the weather, some with their heads under their wings, or buried in their bosoms, and others swelling and cooing and bowing about their dames, were enjoying the sunshine on the roof.
On the morning of the 20th I started out accompanied by Forsyth and Sir Henry Havelock, and took the road through Boissy St. George, Boissy St. Martins and Noisy Le Grand to Brie. Almost every foot of the way was strewn with fragments of glass from wine bottles, emptied and then broken by the troops.
The Martins' brown bows appeared on their necks instead of cresting their heads-it improved them, Miriam thought. What regular features they had. Bertha looked like a youth like a musician. Her hair was loosened a little at the sides, shading the corners of her forehead and adding to its height. It shone like marble, high and straight. Emma's hair hung round her like a shawl.
They were nicely entertained by the Martins, and went on many excursions to places of interest. But, all the while, Bert and Nan, at least, were thinking of the sugar bowl and pitcher, and the hundred dollars reward Miss Pompret had promised. "I do hope we don't have to give the dishes to Dinah for souvenirs," said Nan to Bert. "I hope so, too," he agreed.
He certainly would be thankful when the month of the charge account was over. The Martins were eating dessert it was lemon pudding with meringue on top, one of Jerry's favorite desserts when the doorbell rang. "I'll go," said Jerry, pushing back his chair. It was Mr. Bullfinch at the door. And the way he looked at Jerry made him feel all shriveled up inside. Mr.
"That is all very well," said I; "but it seems to me that there ought to be room for both of you." "Well, there isn't," said he, "and Nature has worked it out that there shan't be, and if you write a thousand letters to the Field, you won't alter that." "Suppose the martins got the pull over the sparrows, do you think it would be better for things in general?"
I have stated that all migrations of gossamers I have witnessed have been in the autumn; excepting in one instance, these flights occurred when the weather was still hot and dry. The exceptionally late migration was on March 22 a full month after the departure of martins, humming-birds, flycatchers, and most other true bird-migrants.
