THEY STOPPED THE CLOCK.


Curious and Cunning Trick Perpetrated
by a Pair of English sparrows.
The town clock stopped at 1880 Thursday
morning, and MIR. Williams on going to
ascertain the cause, found that the hands
had been securely tied by strands of Irvine
and grass, says the Sarnia Observer. The
mischief had been done by pair Of English
sparrows, who had selected the angle
formed by the hands as a suitable site for
nest. The movements of the hands inter-
fered with their plans, and the birds evil
IDENTIFY put their wits to work to devise
remedy that would secure the stability of
the nest Their first scheme was to wind the
shaft on which the hands are pivoted round
and round with grass and cords. That fail
ing, they tied the hands to each other and
to the frame work in such a manner that it
took considerable time and a great deal of
labor on Mr. Williams part to remove the
distractions. The engineering skill dis
played by the birds in accomplishing their
object showed that they possessed reason
ing powers OF no mean order, besides an
amount Of industry and perseverance, in
gathering the necessary material within
the few hours al their disposal that is al
most incredible.
