DEMOREST'S MONTHLY,

q magazine Of practical utility in the house, q
mirror of the fashions, and a literary conser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
ence, acknowledged to be the modern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 2Sx32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting, entitled, The Picnic on the
Fourth of July
The painting took a whole year, and is con-
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lille NJ Spencer The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists-John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it,a The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labors of the painter None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpasg-
ed proof of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America.

BIRD ARCuITECTURE.-A Frenchman,
NJ. Bouchet, has discovered that the
house swallow has made considerable
progress in the art of architecture dur
ing the past forty years. Although
one swallow does not make a summer,
successive generations of swallows
seem to have made a summary of cur
rent improvements in building. and to
have adapted means to ends as well as
ends to their means. The old style OF
nest consisted of ga segment of a
sphereoid," with a round hole Just
large enough to admit the parent bird;
but this being attended with numer-
Gus inconveniences, new form OF
building has been adopted, with the
following "modern improvements" II
is the quarter of a semi oval, with very
elongated poles, and the opening, in
stead of being in the wall itself, is a
long transverse lissure bounded below
by an excavation in the upper margin
Of the nest, and sheltered above by the
building to which the nest is attached.
Thegreat advantage of this new plan,
according to NJ. Bouchet, is that it
gives more room for the younger mem
bers of the family, and enables them to
put their heads out for little fresh air
without impeding the entrance or exit
of the moterfamiiias. Moreover, it af-
fords better protection from rain, cold,
and unwelcome visitors than the old
system.
