In the development of the modem museum three stages' hnve heen recog nized thnt of the Collection of ob jects for record, Hint of supplying nin terlnlH for research and Hint of ap plying the collections to public educa tion. The educational Idea In now be ing developed by Instructive dlsplny arrangement, lonn exhibits for public and private schools and special lec tures. The most notable feature Is the mounting of natural history ob jeols In the midst of their native sur rounding!, and much attention Is be ing given nt large museums such US' the American Museum of Natural His tory of New York to grouping ani mals In their nut oral environment of shrubs, trees, flowers, rocks anil oili er objects. In the new exhibition halls of the museum of the Cnllfomla Acndemy of Sciences, the case for a large mammal or bird habitat group is 2,r feet long, 12 deep and 18 high, with n plate glass front 15 feet long and 10 high.

The money does not puss to the king himself, but to the nation, and thus goes to relieve taxation. Much Property Reverts to Crown. Few people realize the large amount of property which passes every year to the crown of England owing to the owners dying without heirs or next-of-kin, and without having made a will. Ip most of these cuses the de ceased Is an Illegitimate person with no children. As a rule the crown does not ap propriate the whole of the property, but mukes what Is called a eonipns slonnte allowance fo the rclntlves of the deceased, although they muy not be Ills relatives according to law, and In some ensos to friends and servants who huve performed services for him which entitle them to consideration. The amount of., the allowance Is Imperfect Shooting Laws. We have federal laws protecting mi gratory birds during certuln periods, and the government has established many reservations for them. But the !aws of our various states are conflict ing and confusion often results, to the detriment of the birds. No better Illustration of this can be found than with the robin. In the North it Is protected all the year around as a songster. It flies to the North early In the spring and Is looked after and cared for until late In the fall. It then goes South, where several of the states allow It to be killed, and it is actually sold In the open markets of u number of South ern cities. But the general nttitude of the peo ple toward birds Is changing for the better In all the states, South includ ed. We are coming to understand them North and South and with better understanding there conies greater encouragement.
