ROchcsttr robin has built lts nest On

cupies the nest
A Rochester robin alighted one day
On bar or a brace OF the wonderful thing
That mills the swift miles like grain In Its way,
And flee like bird, though it never takes wing.
And the Rochester robin said to hersslf
what q place for q nest SO strong and 30 warm
As neat az pin and as shiny as deif
Up out of the danger. in out OF the STORM"
And her mate by the roadside struck up the old lay.
He sang for the o. ple-tree blossoms to dance,
The ctrlish white blossoms in pink applique.
More fragrant and fair than the4lies OF France
The heart of the engine was cold as q cave,
The furnace door grim rs the crate Of a coll,
And dumb az the church under switzerands wave'
Like a tulip OF gold the glittering bell.
Then the stoker swung wide tho furnaces door,
Stirred up the dull fire, and the robins just saio'
"summer weather todayI" Then rumble and roar
Played the waters hot pulse In white clouds overhead
{" am sure 1t will RAIN" he sang to his mate,
ut thunders and llghtens, but work night along
The house but half done and the season so late
How cloudy IL growsp so he kept up the song
And the twain fell to work, bore timbers of straw.
And fbres Of wool caught on thistle and morn,
Ana wrought theu all In by the Lords "heher law"
With threads ofthe laces some maiden had worn
Then eiang swung bell aud the MARBLE was husned
And the crazy sparks now as II the storm tore

And kept on with her work far sveeter than play
To and fro, far aud near. their fiery world went
The cup Of their loves brimming over with me-
And the engineer stood at HIS window intent
And watched the steal rails the redbreast and vifs
And declared by his engine aud honor, he would

STORING WIND POWER.

A correspondent of The Scientific american
suggests that the wind force now going to
waste might be stored up in the form Of COM
pressed sir and used as st steady In SOURCE sa OF
power. Within al area OF 40 by 100 feet, no
manufacturing establishment he says, it is en-.
tirely practicable to place thirty-two, wind
wheels, each twelve feet high by eight feet in
diameter, and 80 arranged that each shall have
full sweep Of the wind from whatever quarter
it may blow. The wheels would revolve on
vertical axles-or horizontal if preferred-with
fixed blades, One-half shielded and turning SO
as to suit the direction of the current. They
would need no attendance, no brake, no check
let them spin with the utmost fury OF gale, or
lie still in a calm. Rapid motion could do no
harm, and would only increase their efficiency (;
whenever they turned they would do work,
when they lay still they would do nothing.
Each wheel would drive an air-pump of size
suited to itspower, and each stroke of the piston
would send its given quantity of air into the
common reservoir provided. The reservoir be-
comes then q magazine of compressed. air
whose energy il reported by the gauge, and is
used by any of the means now SO well known.
