BOY PICKS SINGER
FROM 8000 BIRDS
s Expert in Musical Habits
I of Canaries
SMBNIMMIPMIMMO11
New Tork--Otte can't speak Eng-
lish but he can pick a singing canary
out of the flock of 8000 all chirping
at once
Otto is a German boy one of sev-
eral upon whose judgment the canary
Importers of New York rely when they
guarantee the musical habits of their
birds Me stands all day in the cen-
ter of an upstairs room in downtown
Manhattan Around the walls are
tiers of tiny cages each containing
one canary The 8000 potential
songsters keep up a continuous chirp-
ing while they pick at the seeds in
their cages so that one shrill dis-
cordant note hangs always in the air
But Otto does not depend on his
ears lie watches their necks and
when he sees a movement In the
feathers under the beak that Indicates
to him a song instead of a chirp he
makes a chalk mark on the cage The
birds who have burst into unheard
song then are segregated for sale to
retailers as warblers who really
warble
It is obvious therefore that canary
vokes are discovered after the yellow
midgets arrive on this side Not so
however with the opera stars of the
bird world the bullfinches
Bullfinches are patiently trained by
organists or harness makers in their
native Germany The latter whistle
one song over and over again to birds
suspended in cages over their benches
until the pupils have memorized an
entire selection Some learn as many
as three songs They of course bring
the highest price which Is COO
In canary-breeding time in the liars
mountains of Germany the stock to
be hatched this spring will he laid by
for export next year The birds are
kept in warehouses overseas one NeA
York dealer alone having 28000 of
last year's crop waiting to be brought
over
The songsters arrive weekly each
of several wholesalers in town re-
ceiving from 8000 to 0000 in a con-
signment They are purchased for
storage from breeders' clubs in the
mountains similar it seems to farm
marketing groups in this country
Plan to Move Body of
Chop:n Starts Fuss
Parts—The admirers of Frederick
Chopin are engaged in a bitter quar-
rel over the proposal to remove the
composer's body from Pere-Lachalse
cemetery in Paris where It was burled
79 years ago and take It to his native
Poland for reburial
The suggestion that the body be
moved started with a group led by M
Edouard Ganche They wanted the
body to lie in state beside the re-
mains of Poland's heroes Kosciosko
Mickiewics Marshal Poulatowski and
Slowacki in the Wawel which is Po
laud's "Westminster Abbey"
M Gauche contends that If It were
not for strife raging in Poland at the
time of Chopin's death the musician
would undoubtedly have been burled
there Instead be died and was burled
In Paris and now a great monument
depicting ft muse weeping over a si-
lenced lyrd stands over his tomb which
Is the pilgrimage place of many music
lovers
The principal objection to the re-
moval Is that Chopin's ashes have
probably completely disappeared It
is further argued that Chop la's father
was a Frenchman born at Nancy
