The ARCHITECTURAL SKILL OF BIRDs.-
When the writer resided in Central New
York q pair Of Baltimore orioles were acc,,s-
TONED TO build nest every season OH the
swaying branch of some tree near the dwell
Ing. A ladder was once assembled simply to
inspect their architectural operations. The
birds had chosen forked horizontal branch
from which to suspend their nest. They had
found II few pieces of wrapping-cord about Il
yard in length, one end of which had been
put three times around one branch, while the
other end was securely attached to the other
branch, making miniature swing. Another
piece Of the yarn was attached to the same
branches, but at different points, SO that tine
pending portion crossed the first cord and
hung down just us low. The ends Of the
cords were wrapped around the branches

Tt has a3ng been known that very pure
water acts rapidly on lead The carooiilc
acid which almost all water holds in solution
combines with the thin coating of oxide
which ALWAYS forms on the surface Of lead,
and the carbonate partly scales of and be-
comes ditfused through the water, and is
partly dissolved by the action OF free car
bonic acid, and thus we get liberal supply
of lead in all soft water that has been kept
in leaden cisterns or allowed te flow through
leaden piIes. l may }msc remark, however,
That the process is 4 somewhat slow one, ana
that If the wafrr has not been allowed to
stand in MAIDEN cisterns, merely flowing
through leaden pipes will not seriously H.
iuGit. In the city Of New YORK the Croton
water, which is soft and pure, acts rapidly
on lead, and as most of the Offices down town
are supplied with this water (Which is, how
ever, kept in leaden cisteims in tie upper
part Of the buikGngs) a!rfost all the water
used iu the rfcghborhc0d Of the new post
'e,tticr IS 10 certain extent poisonous. Sieve
anl I,crSbhs Have been made seriously i'll by it.
Of coilrsc the influence upon young fish Is
'eetailv bad, and firm in Maiden Lane that
deals extensively in fishing tackle, having
procured some trout-spawn from Seth Green,
Succeeded in Matching Outa large percentage,
to the action of the lead.
On the other hand, certain hard waters,
particularly those that are imprpgnatcd with
nuphaies, do not act on lead. The metal is
instantly coated with thin crust of the sui
piatc OF lead, which protects it from all fur
Their injury. md the water drawn through
such pipes is in general free from lead. a
knowledge of this fact has led to'the sugges-
ton that a little sulphate of magnesia, or
other soluble sulphate, mixed with the wa,
ter, would coat the lead with a protecting
crust that would prevent this evil. When
water is drawn from iron mains through lead
pines it is always well to let the water run
sor few minutes before collecting it for use.
In this way the impure water is avoided,
and water will hardly ever be injured by
passing through short length of pipe.
The action OF water on iron pipes is some.
what similar, and depends greatly upon the
character of the liquid. Watsi holding car
honic acid in solution, as il the case with
most soft, pure water, rapidly c0rrodes the
iron, which actually becomes dissolved to a
slight extent, but il more apt to fall off in
fine powder, which settles to the bottom if
sufficient time be allowed.
Where constant stream Of water passes
rapidly through lead or iron pipes it is not
probable that any bud results will follow
either to fish or human beings; but where
the water Is sometimes allowed to stand IL
the pipes for considerable time we should
be very careful. In nil such cases tin-lined
lead pipe or good wooden pipe will be found
the best. Above all, we must bear in mind
that the fact that lead Or iron pipes have been
used in one part of the country without any
bad results is no reason why the same pipes
can be used without danger In another re.
gion, where the water is of a different quGi
ity.- Country Gentleman.
