GIANT PENGUIN.

Matched. TO purloin the egg from this
singular receptacle it is necessary to en-
gage in a regular battle, not only with
the female, but also her devoted mate,
who at the first alarm rushes to the
spot and fights SO furiously that success
for the aggressor can only be secured
when the noble bird sinks dead or dis

Wonderful, indeed, is the instinct with
which wise nature has endowed her
creatures; and to the observing mind its
development is everywhere present in
forms as curious and remarkable as
those just described.

WORLD FAIR NOTES.

The Royal Chorus Society OF Belgium,
moro than hundred strong, will visit
the Worlds Fair and take part in the
concerts in choral hall. The chorus
recently gave series OF concerts in Lon
don for charitable purposes, and was
received with enthusiasm.
The Bureau of Music of the Worlds
Fair has Issued the following relative to
concerts by American artist at the Ex-
position:
Those among the younger, native born
professional musicians of the country
who may desire to avail themselves Of
the opportunity, are invited to com
municate with the Bureau of Music be-
fore May l, with such testimonials as
snail indicate clearly the degree of their
ability and talent Those applicants
whom the musical director can recon-
mend will be asked to appear before a
committee with Headquarters in Chicago,
to be appointedby the Bureau OF Music.
a medal or other token will be con ferred
upon all who meet the standard of
attainment required by this committee,
and possibly an appearance in concert
in Recital Hall of tho Exposition may
be arranged.
There will be no expense connec ted
OF travel and entertainments these the
candidate must pay, as the bureau
has no funds for this purpose.
The Chicago committee will not be
convened until after the opening of tho
Exposition in May, and will hear no
candidates not recommended by the
musical director.
AS evidence Of the character and OK
of hn 70 u,l;
ing to the Worlds Fair from abroad
the following description, given by the
Madras Matt, of a casket made by a
iewelry firm in fara-way Ceylon ex.
pressly for the Fair,is given: 1T is un-
doubtedly one of the finest-if not the
very finest-piece Of work and the most
costly and valuable ever turned out of
a Ceylon establishment. The box is II
inches long by 2 inches broad and is
made of carved ivory on silver, with
broad bands of solid gold (Ratnapura
work. along it's SIDES and edges. The
lid is of silver, richly chased on the
inside with designs of elephants and
cocoannt trees, whilst the whole is
covered with blue plush. Its chief
claim to notice, however, is the fact
that IL is very richly studied with gems
none but CeYlon stones being used.
All round the rim is row of fine pearls
300 in number whilst lower down is
row of rubies of good weight and fine
color. The lid is lined with complete
selection of the best stones, including
pearls, sapphires, rubies, cats.eyes
tourmalines, etc, and this fact gives
grcat value to the casket, whilst the
ivory panels are carved to represent
various products Of the island, such as
paddy, cinnamon, CO flee, tea. etc. With
the casket is an ivory elephant capar.
risoned with gold trappings, as If for a

The graceful pendant nest of the oriolc,

First in regard to size, NAV
be mentioned tho nest of the

we ask how, with it's bcai1 and claws only

The immense structure is constructed
by first getting together a thick bed of
leaves, branches and plants, the bird
being guided in making this collection
by wonderful chemical instinct, Sc
Letting only snch matter as will in fer

mandibles and delicate feet, then with
its bill for n needle sews the leaves to-
gether; and within the compartment so
formed weaves delicate nest which is
thus concealed from tho observation of
its enemies.
Though far less ingenious, the nest OF
the korwc is too curious not to deserve
mention. The female having entered
her breeding place, the cavity of some
tree, the male plastcrs mp the entrance,
leaving only narrow slit exactly
suited to the form of his beak, through
which to feed his mate. The female
lines the nest with her own feathers.

the devoted husband provides food for
the entire family, reducing himself by
starvation meanwhile to such degree
that Il sudden lowering of the temporal
turc is sufficient to cause his unti,ncly
death.
The nests of that peculiar swallow,
salangancs, which inhabits the coast OF
China and the neighboring islands, arc
affixed by thousands to the inaccessible
cliffs and dark cavcrns; and the gather
ing of them furnishes profitable en-
ployment to large numbers of the in
habitants. These edible nests are com,

placed in a circle at equal distance
apart, and with the small end down.
This done, the megapodius gives no fur
ther attention to it's nest or offspring.
Tho young knows how to nourish itself
from birth. When it breaks the shell
1t throws off the leaves that cover it,
mounts the crest of it's birthplace, dries
its wings (for it is full-nedgcd), gives a
few flaps and having cast q disturbed
and inquisitivc look upon the surround
ing country, the feeble bird takes it's
flight into the atmosphere and quits it's
cradle forever.
Another Australian bird, the talegalla
or bush turkey, whose appearance is
similar to the common turkey though
somewhat smaller, builds n nest equal
in size to large haycoclS. The material
is collected by grasping the grass with
one foot and hopping along on the other
until the bird arrives at the locality of
the prospective domicile, where it de-
posts the grass, until after many
journeys the nest is completed.

There are sometimes more than six
hundred birds inhabiting this elevated

compartments to the nest. This abode
has the appearance of an enormous
umbrella of which the trunk of the tree
is the handle. "Onc Of these nests"
