they make there would be no supply.  They also are, presumably, the most educated and should know better.  If it were known that any lady with a feather in her hat (or elsewhere) would be taken before a magistrate and fined, and, on a second offence, imprisoned, and if this were the case in the chief civilized countries of Europe and America, the whole trade would at once cease and the poor birds be left in peace.

     You have, however, treated the subject very carefully and
     thoroughly, and I hope your views will be soon carried
     out....

I am glad to hear that Mr. Roosevelt is a reader of the “World of Life.”  My own interest is more especially in the preservation of adequate areas of the glorious tropical and equatorial forests, with their teeming and marvellous forms of life.

Numerous other letters from all parts of the world expressing appreciation of the Address have been received, the correspondents expressing strong approval of the effort to establish Animal Sanctuaries in Labrador.  The names of some of the correspondents are given herewith: 

Sir Robert Baden-Powell, London; Prof.  H.T.  Barnes, Montreal; Julien Corbett, London; Rudyard Kipling; Lord Stamfordham, London; Sir James LeMoine, Quebec; J.M.  Macoun, Ottawa; Henry F. Osborn, New York; Madison Grant, New York.

Note.—­As a postscript I might add that the owner of part of a very desirable little archipelago, not far from the Saguenay, has already offered to give the property outright if a suitable sanctuary can be made out of the whole.  This is all the more encouraging because such a gift involves the refusal of an offer from a speculative purchaser.  May others be moved to do the same!
