BIRD  CONGRESS  AT WASH 
INGTON. 

In  1883  there  was  organized  at 
N ew  Y o rk  a  national  society  for  the 
study  and  protection  of  birds,  known 
the  American  Ornithologists' 
as 
Union,  holding 
special  meetings 
from  time  to  time,  and  annual  meet 
ings  called  congresses,  and  publish 
ing  a  quarterly  bulletin  or  magazine 
known  as  The  Auk. 

T he  Union  now  has  upwards  of 
eight  hundred  members  which  fall 
into 
three  principal  classes,  active 
members  or  "  fellows,"  ordinary 
members,  and  associate  members. 
Fellows  are  limited  in  number  to 
fifty  and  must  be  ornithologists  of 
the  highest  standing;  originally  but 
one  or  two  were  elected  from  each 
state.  Ordinary  members  must  be 
good  ornithologists  and  their  num 
ber  is limited  to seventy-five.  Asso 
ciates  include  those  w ho  are  inter 
ested 
in  some  phase  of  bird  work 
but  are  not  necessarily  ornitholo 
gists.

T he  annual  "congresses"  are  held 
usually  in  one  of  the  large  Eastern 
cities,  N ew  Y o r k,  Boston,  Phila 
delphia, 
and  Washington  most 
often.  T he twentieth  congress  was

represented  by 
T he  other 
Fellows  were  Massachussetts,  Con 
necticut,  N ew  Y o r k,  N ew  Jersey, 
Pennsylvania,  Illinois,  Minnesota, 
and  the  District  of  Columbia,  while 
members  and associates  were  present 
from  numerous  other  states,  iuclud-
ing  California,  Florida,  and  Texas. 
T he  public  meetings  were  held  in 
the  lecture  halls  of the U.  S.  Nation 
al  Museum  and  Columbian  Uni 
versity. 

To  an  ornithologist 

the  interest 
and  value  of  such  a  meeting  lies  not 
so  much  in  the  papers  presented,  or 
even  in the discussions  which  follow, 
as  in  the  opportunities  to meet  other 
workers  in  his  own  line,  to  discuss 
methods,  compare  results,  and  fore 
cast  the outcome  of  proposed  experi 
ments.  Y et  the  program  itself  was 
one  of  unusual  interest.  T he  titles 
covered 
imaginable 
almost  every 
phase  of  bird  work  from  the  micro 
scopic  structure  of  iridescent 
feath 
ers  to  the  musical  notation  of  bird 
songs,  and  from  the  study  of  fossil 
birds  and  their  reptilian  ancestors  to 
the  evolution  of 
sub-species 
among  living  quail.  My  own  con 
tribution  to  the  program  was  a  re 
port  upon  a  census  of  the  birds  nest 
ing  upon  our  College  campus,  with 
a  study  of  the  causes  operating  for 
and  against  the  birds  concerned. 
It 
may  be  of  interest  to  note  that  the 
estimate  for the  past  summer  for  our 

the 

eighty-four 
acre  campus  was  33 
species,  923  nests,  and  532  pairs  of 
birds,  an  average  of  six  and  one-
third  pairs  to  the  acre. 

and 

From  its very  beginning the  Amer 
ican  Ornithologists'  Union  has  been 
practical  in  its  aims  and  methods. 
In  1885  it  secured  from  Congress 
the  establishment  of  a  bird  and 
the  United 
mammal  division  of 
States  Department  of  Agriculture, 
which  was to  study  and report  npon 
the  migrations  of  American  birds, 
their  food-habits  and  economic  re 
lations, especially  as  bearing  on  agri 
culture; 
this  division,  now 
known  as  the  Division  of  Biological 
Survey,  has been  enlarged  from  time 
to  time  and  the  scope  of  its  work  ex

In  all  this  work 

the  Union  has 
been  greatly  aided  by  the  Audubon 
Societies  which  have  been  organized 
all  over  the  country  and  which  are 
doing  everything  possible to  increase 
the  knowledge  and  love  of  birds 
and  to  foster  and  protect 
them  in

T he  stormy  weather  has  put  a 
stop  to  outdoor  athletics  for 
this 
year,  and  basket  ball  is now the  only 
work  of  athletic  character. 
F o ur 
of  last  year's  team  are on  hand  and 
already  practicing  hard,  and we  may 
again  expect  to  support  one  of  the 
strongest  teams  in  the  State. 

Unfortunately  the  use  of  the  ar

Those  who  went  to  A nn  Arbor 
from  Lansing  Thursday  saw  a  great 
game  of  football,  a  much  more  in 
teresting  game  than  the  score  would 
indicate.  T he  thousands  of  specta 
tors,  the  character  of  the  game,  the 
cheering  and  singing,  all  combined 
to  produce  a  scene  never  to  be  for 
gotten.  T he  season  of  1902  has 
been  a  remarkable  one  in  football 
history  and  never  before  were  there 
so  many  surprises  and  apparently 
impossible  results.

NEW  POSTOFFICE  BUILDING.  A LETTER  FROM  GERMANY. 

T HE  J E W E TT  &  K N A PP  STORE 

THE  M. A. C.  RECORD. 

T he  new postoffice  building,  a few 
steps  north  of  the- present  street  car 
station, is about  ready  for  occupation. 
T he  work  has  been  rushed  along 
rapidly  from  the  beginning  and the 
progress  is satisfactory  to  all.  T he 
horticultural  department  will  occupy 
all  the  room  made  vacant  by  the

T he  new  postoffice  building  re 
sembles,  on  the  outside, the  modern 
railway  depot,  having  wide  eaves, 
low  roof,  and  comparatively  low

the  main  door  opening  directly  upon 
the  extension  of  the  broad  cement

door  on  the  north.  T he  building  is

ANGOUNOIS  GRAIN  MOTH. 

T he  angounois  grain  moth  has 
been  discovered  in  Michigan  during 
the  past  season. 
It  was  introduced 
into  South  Carolina  nearly  two  hun 
dred  years  ago and  since  that  time 
has  gradually  spread  both  North 
and  South. 

It  is considered  in the  south  as the 
worst  grain  pest  with  which 
they 
have  to  deal,  working  as it  does  in 
wheat,  oats,  corn,  and,  in  fact,  in 
any  grain.  T he  work  is  done  by 
the  larva  entirely  within  the  berry 
and  when  the  adult  comes  forth  or 
emerges  into  the  open  air  the  hole 
through  which  it  comes  is  so  small 
as to be almost unnoticeable.  T h e re 
are several  broods  each  year  and the 
insect  works  both  in  the  field  and in 
the  granary  and  sack. 

As  preventive  it  is well  to  thresh 
early  and  store  in  large  bulk  to  pre 
vent  the  moth  from  breeding,  and 
where  necessary 
fumigation  with 
carbon  bi-sulphide.

President  Eliot  of  Harvard  does 
not  believe  in  giving  positions  on 
the  teaching  force  to  Harvard  grad 
uates,  where  candidates  from  other 
institutions  are  available. 

Pres.  MacLean  of  the  Iowa  Uni 
versity  recently  gave  a dinner  to the 
College  presidents  of  Iowa 
insti 
tutions,  and  much  good  feeling  was 
promoted  thereby.
