SticIi.ohacks and The Most =.

Nests are by most persons associated with
birds as their architects and occupants,
but they arc by no means eXclu-
sively so, as many quadrupeds build
nests, like the beautiful little harvest
mouse, whose nest, raised high up on
the stalks of corn, Is known to most practical
field naturaists. Many fishes are also nest
builders; among the best known OF these are
the sticklebaclis. The one illustrated is the
fifteen spined stickleback, marine species
found in immense numbers. This is the larg
est of the three, attaining at times a length
as great as seven inches 1t is generally to
be found in rocky pools on the coast, feeding
on worms small crustacea, and the eggs and
fry of other fish. Its own eggs it protects in
the singular nest figured in the engraving.
In the early months of the year these fish
select some quiet locality not apt to DO dis

together by an elastic material that is liliened
to silk.

To Keen Milk and Cream Sweet.

According to an English recipe when it is
difficult in hot weather to keep milk from
souring and spelling the cream, it may be
preserved perfectly sweet by scalding the
new milk very gently, without boiling.
Cream already skinned may be Kept twenty
four hours if scalded without sugar, and, by
adding to it as much powdered lump sugar
as will make it pretty sweet, will be good for
two days if kept in cool place. Syrup OF
cream may be preserved as above in the pro-
portion of one and quarter pounds of sugar
to pint of perfectly fresh cream; keep 1t IN
a cool place for two or three hours, then put
it into one ounce or two ounce bottles, and
cork it close. 1t will keep good for several

A Project Of Former Days-The Eric

IN
Canal-Completed In 1925.
The Erie canal enterprise grew out of the
the Western Inland Lock Navigation com
pany, incorporated in 1902, with fifty mem
bers, for the purpose Of improving the
navigation of the Mohawk river, and
of opening communication by canal
to Seneca lake and Lake Ontario. The
route in question was carefully sur
veyed by Mr.. Weston, n civil engineer
from England, in company with Thomas
Eddy. On the 4th of July, 1917 ground
was first broken for the canal by James
Richardson, on the middle section, in the
vicinity of Rome, and from this date work
did not cease for single day until its com
pletion in 1925. On tho 22d of October, 1919
the first boat sailed on the Erie canal from
Rome to Utica, with De Witt Clinton, then
governor of the state Chancellor Liv.
ingston, Gen. S. Van Rensselaer, and
IA large party of friends of the enterprise on
board. This was passenger boat named tho
Chief Engineer, in comp iment to Benjamin
Wright, and was dragged by single horse
The work completed, the city of New York
was naturally selected as tho most suitable
place for the canal celebrations On the
morning of tho 26th of October, 1925, the
first Aotilla Of canal boats left Buffalo for
New York, where the intelligence of It's de
parture was received one hour and twenty
minutes after, 10y the sound of cannon
stationed along the line. Tie answer was
returned in Che Same time; and thus in les.
than three hours Buffalo had spoken TO New
York and received a reply.
On the 4tn Of November tho fleet, consist
ing of the Chancellor Livingston, in which
were Clinton and his party, with "A long line
OF canal packet boats III tow, arrived at New

This Is certainly q striking parallel, and
suggests that De Foe did not draw on his
own Imagination so much as the world has
heretofore given him credit for. And it also
is made to appear that Simplicius, and not
Selkirk, was the orig NAL CruSOe.
