FEW CANARIES COMING HERE
Blockade of German Ports Keeps Birds In
Fatherland
Those who may havo been under the Im
pression that canary birds Imported Into this
country como from tho Canary Islands will suf
fer a severe disillusionment at this time, es
pecially If tho family thinks that a canary bird
Is needed, nnd someone proceeds to "buy" -a
canary. Tho fact is, that in times of peace ca
nary birds como from the Hartz Slountalns, In
Germany, where they are bred by the peas
ants In garrets and spare rooms of their cot
tages. One New York firm alone Imports
100,000 canaries annually.
At present no canaries can he bought In tho
bird stores because of the blockade of German
ports. Ordlnnrlly, these birds sell for $35 to J30
per dozen. The Individual bird Is sold on his
merits, as Indicated by his looks and his voice.
The female canaiy Is a poor singer and sells
for half the price of the male. Tho birds sing
best between tho ages of a half-year and six
years. Frequently they live to be 12 years old.
The bird dealers also suffer from lack of
cages for other birds. Tho canaries are shipped
In Individual wooden cages made in Germany
nnd are sent In lots of 100 to 500. These birds
have to be fed dally on canary seed and hard
boiled eggs as well as given fresh water. A
skilled attendant has to accompany them on
the voyage and frequently a young peasant
earns his traveling expenses to this country In
that manner.

tlvo poison In antl-fouling paint successfully
used on ships' bottoms. The metal appears to
bo little employed In silvering mirrors, as ni
trate of sliver Is now chiefly used for the pur
pose. Increasing use of quicksilver is probably
to be expected In the manufacture of electrical
appliances and of fulminates, and tossibly of
paints for protective coatings on metals.
The demand for quicksilver for amalgamating
gold and silver has greatly decreased, as Is well
known, with the decreased aupply of free mill
ing ores and the Increased application of cyanl
datlon to gold nnd silver ores. Industrial chem
istry nnd Inventive genius are to bo looked to
for Increasing the demand.
FLASHES FROM "STARS"
A. F. MacCollln, who plays the genial and
uvugiiiiui mage orivcr, jeremian upon, in
Knto Douglas Wlggln and Charlotto Thomp4
son's comedy, "Rebecca of Sunnybroolc Farm,"
at tho Walnut Street Theatre, Is ono of the
oldest living actors. Sir. StacCollln was one!
of tho organizers of tho Whcatley Draraatlo!
Association In Philadelphia in 18CG, which en
rolled such names as John SIcCullough. E. H.
Hearn and D. W. Farrcll. He was a member
of the famous Ford Company, producers ofi'J
muuuuru ujierus, ana originaicu mo pari or
Ralph Hakestraw, the leading tenor role Iri
Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, "Pinafore," In this1
country. After several years with this organ
ization he Joined D'Oyley Curte at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre In New York for the produc-?
tlon of the "Pirates of Penzance," and played
the principal comedy role. When "The Sllkado"
was produced, the part of Koko was assigned
to the lote Roland Reed, who opened, but after
two performances was compelled to give It up
on account of Illness. Sir. StacCollln succeeded
him, and was accredited as the originator of
this role. For five years he was a member of
tho Stetson Company, playing a repertoire of.!
tho light operas. In the last few years Sir,
SlacCollIn has been identified with the Savage.
Frohman and Shubrt forces, playing princi
pally dramatic comedy roles. He Is now suc
ceeding the late Archie Boyd In the part of
Jeremiah Cobb in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm," a most congenial role.
Helen Ware, star of "Tho Revolt," the cur
rent attraction at the Adelphl Theatre, says
she once owned a pet Egyptian scarab, an In
sect resembling the cricket. "Above all things
else," said Sliss Ware, "the scarab Is noted for
its longevity, often living as long as S00 years.
Sly scarab died a year ago In its Infancy It
was only 100 years old. I had It for only three i
years of Its life. It was the most unique pet
I ever had, and I got terribly attached to it.
It lived in a little cage, and I fed It on sugar-,
water. Once I gave It sugar diluted In cham
pagne, and you should havo seen that beetle
It got quite tipsy. Its antics were terribly fun
ny. Sometimes I wore the scarab attached to
a thin gold chain. I called it 'Amenoteph.' Tho
Egyptians used to worship the scarab, you
know, I adored my pet, and wept at Its demise.
I'd thought of having a llttlo tombstone made
over a tiny urn; but I lost the dead pet in trav
eling. On the tombstone I would have bad,
'Here lies Amenoteph, who died in his infancy
ho was only a hundred.' "
"Alas," sighed Miss Ware, "if only the youth
of plays were no less brief!"
