ArchitecturaI sltiu of Birds.

When the writer resided in Cen
trail New York, pair of Baltimore
orioles were accustomed to build D
nest every season ON Il swaying
branch of some tree near the dwell
ling. A ladder was once assembled
simply to inspect their architectural
operations. The birds had chosen
forked branch from which to sus-
pend their nest. They had found q
few pieces of wrapping-cOrd about a
yard in length, one end of which they
had put three times around one
branch, while the other end was Sc
curely attached TO the other branch,
making n miniature swing. AnOth-
eI piece of the yarn was attached to
the same branches, but at different
points, so that the pending portion
crossed the first cord and hung
down just as low. The end of the
cords were wrapped around the
branches with as much skill as an
cxl ert sailor secures the onds of his
lines and bawsers. The extremities
were tucked beneath the supporting
cord, at the upper side of the branch,
SO that it was impossible for either
end Of the cor1 to slip, as the great
er tie weight applied where the nest
VAS 10 rest, the tighter the ends OF
the cords would be held. After these
cords were secured to the branches,
other cords, strings, spears of dried
grass, long hOrsehairs, and tow were
woven and interlaced from cord to
cord in q circular form, in a most IN
genious manner When the nest
was finished, it appeared like min
iature sack about ten inches deep,
suspended beneath fnrked branch.
The birds entered at the top of the
sack.
Naturalists assure us that The
tailor bird" of India performs even
more skillful feats than the orlole,
by making the beak subserve the pur-
pose of a needle, when building a
nest. After having chosen a place
for nest, and having selected two
leaves of a size suited to its wants,
and picked up bit of cotton thread,
it makes hole in the leaves with its
beak, and then with the same instru-
ment, passes q bit of the thread
through the oriice and afterward
forms knot so as to prevent the
thread from coming out. The leaves
are then secured a. one pair of holes
The same operation is repeated with
each set of holes, until a sufficient
number of the leaves are joined to
form q nest. Fastening a knot at
each pair OF holes, instead of uniting
all by one thread, as human seam
stress would do with her needle, is a
tedious task; but, as the bird has to
work with its natural tools. Surely
this operation is evidence o. tbe ex-
istence of some power q reasoning.
