ABOUT SWALLOWS.
The Faculty of Adaptation Displayed in
the Building of Their Nests.

The Faculty of Adaptation Displayed in
the Building of Their Nests.
Prof. Grant Allen, speaking of swal-
lows, says that no other race has lived
in such close connection with man and
vet learned so little from his compan-
ionship. Still, they show some signs Of
intelligence. In making the mud walls
of their nests, for instance, they allow
each layer to dry thoroughly before pro-
ceeding to top it by another course. In
acquiring the habit of building in CHM
neys, which has been carried to swal-
lows by the westward course of civiliza-
ton, they exhibit some faculty of adap-
tation As rule they place their nest
five or six feet below the top of the
chimney, to keep it out of the way OF
owls, not directly over the kitchen-tire,
but over an adjoining flue. And it re-
quires some art to get down into the
shaft. The emergence of the young
swallows from this place is remarkable
instance of intelligent action still way
ering on the brink of mere hardened in
stinct. As soon as they are strong
enough to move, the chicks Chamber
rather than fly up the perpendicular
shaft, b. beating their wings ''in some
Intellectual compromise between flop
and a flutter." Often thew fa2 and
fall crushed TO the hearth. Then, hav-
ing reached the summit, it is some
time before they venture upon flight,
and they acquire the art only by de-
grees as it were. Mr.. Romanes has
collected few yet more unequivocal
eases of intelligence in swallows.
In one case a bell-wire, on which a
swallows nest partly rested. twice de-
molished it. Convinced that it was q
dangerous object, they constructed
tunnel for the wire to pass through,
and were troubled by it no more. In
another case a pair of swallows were
molested by sparrows trying to dispos-
sess them of their nest. They there
upon modified the entrance to their
home, so that, instead of opening by a
simple hole, it was carried on outward
in the form OF a tunnel. Instances are
recorded where several swallows have
combined to drive away sparrOws
which had robbed pair of comrades
of their nest.--Fopaldr Science Monthly.

DENSITY OF THE SUN.

Interesting and Instructive Facts Com
piled by Professor Lockyer.
If we take water as our unit of dem
sity, the density of the earth is 1,444. II
we take the density of the earth as l.,
then the value is about 0. 25-practic-
ally a quarter. These values have been
determined by taking the volume of
the sun as given by the diameter of the
MISREPRESENTATION miles. Now, we
have had to concede 100000 miles for
the height of one atmosphere above the
philosophers, and 1000, 900 miles for an
other, and it is not fair that those at
mOspheres should be left out of consid-
Grafton. If we include these atmos-
pheres, though we do not alter the
mass. we alter the volume. If we put
the same mass into Il bigger volume,
we naturally reduce the density. Now.
if we take the atmosphere of the sun
as extending TO 100000 miles above the
atmosphere, thatwill give us radius of
$50. 600 miles. instead of $4,000 miles.
and we shall. as nearly a may be. double
the sun 5 volume. Therefore we shall
have halved the density. Instead of
being a quarter as dense as the earth it
will only be one-eighth as dense, and,
instead of it being Just denser than
water, it will be little over half the
density of water. The gases of the
center may put on the appearance, if
they do not put on all the physical
properties, of liquid; but, be this as it
may, in any region that we can get at,
unfortunately limited to something like
1000 miles away from the center, we
are undoubtedly dealing with masses OF
gas.-Widiand Industrial Gazette.
