elusive, but he had couple of smart

BUILDING IN WINTER.
How Brick II Laid In Norway During
Cold Weather.

Cold Weather.
Airport issued by the Foreign Office.
London. Eng. describes the method of
bricklaying adopted in Norway during
frosty weather. In that country build
ing is successfully carried on what
ever be the degree of frost. out it is
found that if the temperature falls be-
low about fourteen degrees Fahrenheit
it does not pay. In the use of unslacked
lime lies the whole art OF executing
brickwork in frosty weather. The
mortar made from it is prepared in
small quantities Immediately before
being used. and the proportion of lime
is increased as the temperature falls.
Warmth being developed by the use Of
unslacked lime. it is only question OF
using it SO handily and quickly as to
enable the mortar to bind the brick be-
fore it cools. 1t is essential that tho
brick should be kept under cover;
bricks which have been out in the rain
or exposed to frost should never be
used. The upper courses Of brick that
have been laid are usually protected
against rain and snow by being covered
with planks or mating. When no
covering is used. it is absolutely nee
essary to remove all the snow and ice
before commencing work. In frosty
weather bricklayers wear an additional
thick wooden vest under the jacket.

one finger (the thumb) on tie len

ing and Gay Appearance.

Beautiful Birds which Present q Charm~
ing and Gay Appearance.
At length, having crawled under the
| roots of the dwarf mangrOvcs that COW
cred the slob like anetwork of croquet-
hoops. we found ourselves at the edge
of the mari, and within one hundred
and fifty yards of the birds, who were
still undisturbed. Here, with my
glasses. could see every feather. note
the color of the eyes. and watch every
movement. There were. we calcu-
lated. between seven hundred and a
thousand birds, and q continuous low,
goose-like cackling was kept up.
Never did see more beautiful mass
of color. The male birds had now
all got together, standing about five
feet high, and with necks extended and
heads erect were evidently watching
events. preserving in the meantime a
mastery inactivity. Now and again
one would stretch out his great black
and scarlet wings, but the general eff
feet was the most exquisite shade of
pink, as the feathers OF the breast and
back are much lighter than those of
the wings.
The hens sat on the nests. and some
were sitting down IN the muddy Ia
coon. l watched them carefully for
nearly an hour, and looked at every
nest to see if the legs were extended
along the side. In no case did see a
leg. / saw the birds go on to the nest
and sit down. lsaw them get up and
step down from the nest. In every
instance the legs were folded under the
bird in the usual manner. In my
opinion my observation settles the
point As to the mode of sitting; for
even il, as had been assured. the birds
sit both ways, it is improbable that,
among the hundreds then sitting not
one would have extended the legs.
Remembering the great length of the
famingo's legs. it is evident that on a.
new nest, not more than eight inches.
high, the hen could not thus sit, nor
would even tho highest nest allow Of
.he legs being extended while the bird
sat upon it.
After having watched the birds for
the time named. we showed ourselves.
but whether they had observed us be-
fore. and become somewhat accustomed
to our presence, or that when sitting
they arc more easy to approach than
thought. the only effect was that the.
hens left the nest and. joining the

the subject of his own detection.
"Were you mad or asleep when you
