much-traveled railway. In engine houses the
swallow is frequent guest. 10 certain mill,
where noisy, three hundred horse power en-
CINE works night and day, two pairs of swallows
have built their nests for years, and rear their
young there regularly. A case of almost H.
credible truslfulness on the part of swallows
occurred 10 the early part Of last year. when a
pair of these birds built in q paddle box OF
