IS INDIA SATE?
Acezupetent Authority onierttaiet's Dast
erg Einptre.
• The Indian frontier, eays Sir Lepel Gran,
in The Asiatic Quarterly, is infinitely more
secure then it was 10 years ago. The great
entrenched camp at Quetta in Beluchietan,
commanding Kandahar and connected by
stategic railways with India, is complete
and blocks whet is probably the only pract
cal route fora large invading force. Roads,
railways and telegraphs have been multi-
plied along the north west frontier, and the
northern border of Kashmir, although I do
not believe in the possibility of any serious
attack fretrx tbat direction, has been
suffioiently guarded. In India itself we do
not care to build fortresses, for the defence
of which our army is too small. If we in.
creased it to such an extent as to be able to
hold central fortresses in the time of war with
large bodies of troops, the burden of taxa-
tion upon the country would cause far more
discontent than would be conpensated for
by the e.ddieional security. We prefer o
have a small army in India which, a the
presenb time English and native, withta few
regiments from selected native states, does
not exceed 250,000 men. But, a war with
Russia for the possession of India would be
one of which there would be long notice and
&ebonite preparation, and tile Indian array,
European and native, would be doubled in
numbers before any Russiau troops arrived
within striking distance of India.
The Rnssian armies on paper look very
formidable, but an Weak delivered at 00
great a distance from the base of oper-
ations, with one toy line of railway for only
a portion of the road and a country with
scanty supplies and inhabited by a hostile
population between Herat and Kandahar,
would not be lightly regarded by any Gov-
ernment when they had to meet the whole
power of England, on her own ground and
in chosen poeieions, at the end of their
marcle To plisee 100,000 men on the
western borders of India, is beyond the
strength of Russia in this generation. No
doubt, should =IWO of quarrel arise between
us, she would endeavor to annoy and injure
us in Iedia as far as possible, but an invas-
ion could have no hope of success.
The panty c,f tbe Indian native troops is
little known or appreciated in Europe. Some
of the fighting races, who form the largest
proportion of our Army, are not inferior to
any soldiers in the world, when vvell and
sufficiently led by European officers, The
Sikhs and Gurkhas are, I believe'superior
to Bunion troops of the line. They are
much of the same quality as the Turks who
held the Russiaes at bay in the last war,
and 'who would have beaten them single-
handed bad they not been betreaded by their
own generale. As to the Native Indian
Irregular Cavalry, although it might be in-
creased by 20 regiments with advantage, it
is infinitely superior to the Cease& regi.
meats of RUESta.
The conclusion of this brief article is that
during this generation, Russia. bas nothing
to gain and everything to lose by an attack
ou Indio, which could not be successful. In
another geueration, perbepe, invasion would
be more et,sy, bat each generation must take
care of itself. Oar position in India becomes
each day stronger with the spread of educe -
tion, the increese and improvement of com-
munications, and the greater wealth and
proaperity of the country. Time tights for
us rather than for Russia. It is not likely
that the Indian people, when they become
rich, educeted and crazed,will desire to
place themselves ander the grinding tyranny

SAILOR "JACK" AND THE STORMY
PETREL.
A Satiorn Superiniiten.
One of the best-known ot the seta -birds is
the stormy petrel. It is oftenest seen dur-
ing storms, flying above the waves in search
of the shell -fish and other small animas
which are brought to the surface by the
tempest. The sailors call petrels " Mother
Carey's chickens," Rudd° not view them with
much favor, owing to their being constant
companions of storms. " Jack" thinks that

So far from the sailor being superstitious
as to the capture of another kind of petrel,
the Cape pigeon which is of a biaok-and-
white color, and about the size of a tame
pigeon, I have known Jack to take a hand
occasionally in capturing them, as a bit of
recreation during a dog-watoh. In southern
attitudes the Cape pigeons follow a ship in
thousands. The method of catching them
is peculiar. .A common bottle -cork is tied.
to the end of a long piece of thread, and
trailed astern so that the cork touches the
water. This gives the required tautness to the
thread as the birds fly in clouds from side to
side astern, some of them constantly strike
the thread with their wings'and the re-
sistance is enough to turn them over it,
when the thread is wrapped round the
wing and the bird is hauled on board. In
this manner I have seen hundreds caught
in a day.
On one occasion a clipper ship, earreung
passengers to India, captured. pigeons by
hundreds, and the surgeon by some mis-
chance, succeeded in entangling a stormy
petrel.
Now the doctor was an enthusiastic na-
turalist, and what to the sailors is known
as a " land -lubber," that is, he was on his
first voyage. The doctor at once took the
specimen to his cabin, and he made prepara-
tions to skin and preserve it. In hot haste
a deputation of seamen, headed by the old
gray-haired saihnaker, came aft with a re-
quest that the petrel be set at liberty, say-
ing that otherwise the ship and all on board
would surely suffer, The doctor, somewhat
surprieed, intended to set the bird free, but
his enthusiasm ae it naturalist prevailed over
the superstitious warning and when the
riailors had disappeared, the bird was added
to hie collection, The fact soon became
known forward among the men and the
doctor was regarded with black looks by
the crew for the remainder of the voyage.
In the course of time the good ship anch.
ored in the Hugi River, and that day, at
dinner, the (looter suddenly died.
There was a gathering of the sailors
round the windlass that dog -watch, and
the doctor's sudden death was attribut.
ed, by the superstitious sailors, to his
slaughter of the stormy petrel. -[August

The old pines on the hill -tops about the
Otsego water some forty years since must
have been frequently over slatdowed by
flooks of the wild pigeon, much less wonder-
ful than those farther west, but still re-
markable in their numbers.
On the early morning of June 8, 147, the
lake and the village ley shrouded in a sum-
mer mist. A large flock of wild pigeons
became bewildered in the fog, and lost their
way -an unusual incident in their history.
Instinot tailed to guide them. Their
naturally keen sight could not pierce the
mist. They dropped on the nearest trees,
in the heart of the village, on our own
lawn, in the cburch-yard, in the gardens,
and on the elms and maples shading the
streets. With the first rays of the sun ap-
pearing above Mount Vision the mist rose
and. the birds took flight
In the spring of 1849 a large flock of
pigeons supposed to number several thou-
sands, selected. for their breeding -ground a
wood in the valley of the Susquehanne,
some miles to the southward of the lake.
The (handle were similar to those reported
of the vast breeding-pluces at tne West -
nests carelessly built of bwigs, a number in
close neighbourhood in the same tree ;
broken limbs ot trees ;a low murmur of
wings. But the ground occupied was a
narrow one.
Since those years no large flocks of wild
pigeons have passed over Lake Omer). A
few only have been seen, where formerly
they were numbered by the hundred. To-
day you enquire if any wild pigeons have
been recently found in these woods. "None
that we have seen or heard of lately,"
shall be the answer to your enquiry'.

for the vanished wild pigeon. --plarperei
