NOTES FOR NA7URAljSTS.

THE tailor bird makes it's nest of long
leaves, which it sews together with tho
fiber of plant, first piercing the holes
in them with its beak. The bottom OF
the nest has heavy layer of cotton.
The opisthocomus, a bird of the island
of Marajo, in the Amazon, is four-footed
when young. Its wing has two fingers,
each with claw, which drops off after a
time, and these are used for scrambline
about.
ADUD1sH bird that lines its nest with
the down of certain flowers is the Ian
ceolate honey-eater. The nest is shaped
like hammock suspended from twigs,
and is very deep. groundwork is of
grass and wool.
The sociable weavers will unite to-
gether in building matched roof prior
to nest-building, the structure some
times being twelve feet square. Under
this a dozen or moro nests will be
built, each pair of birds building it's own,
and each nest being shut out from every
other.
ACCORDING to naturalists a scorpion
will produce IS young, a common fly
will lay IA eggs, leech $50, spider
10, frog LOO. A female moth will
produce LOO eggs, and tortoise 1000;
gall insect has laid $4,000 eggs, a
shrimp 5000. One naturalist found over
$4,000 eggs in lobster, another 81, 900.
Leuwenhoeck computes 1000, 600 as the
crabs share.
THE arawanda is q Brazilian bird
whose note in the depth of the forest
sounds like tolling bell. It is impos-
sible to conceive any thing of more
solitary character than the profound 81
lence of the woods broken only by the
metallic and almost supernatural sound
of this invisible bird, coming from the
Dir and seeming to follow wherever you

LATER,
800 EntOmbed Miners.

LONDON, March 1O.-A terrific explo
sion occurred to-day in the Morsa col
liery, in Glamorganshire, Wales, which,
1t is feared, will attend with great loss
OF life. Later advices from the Morss
colliery are that 800 miners were en-
tombed, but that many have been res.
cued from the workings nearest the
main shaft. Heavy falls of rock pre-.
vent the explorers from reaching the
more remote workings. A further fall
OF debris has completely blocked the
shaft and renders all efforts to render
aid futile until it can be cleared away
The latest estimate places the number
OF dead at 100. Eight bodies, shocking
~ mutilated, have been recovered from
