Starling Has Multiplied.

The starling is about as tough and hardy as the sparrow and, like the latter, is able to subsist on a variety of food, being none too particular what he eats.' The starling was brought here from England in 1890 by a naturalist, who turned several score of them loose in Central park, New York. Although the starling is not migratory, he is often something of a wanderer. After being turned loose here it was not until eight years later that he made his appearance in Plainfield, N. J. He is now to be found from Maine to Washington, and his number runs into the millions.
