A WONDERFUL eIRD-WEAvER.
How the Baltimore Orioie Builds His
Corv SufnRiuc NeSe.


Cory Swinging Nest.
The Baltimore oriole is a prince n a
house OF princes, says writer IN
Scribner's Magazine The family to
which he belongs Is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumace, note,
nest. eggs or habit. Each can claim some
thing curious and original; but the
Baltimore shines in every one of these
particulars, for in plumage, song and
nest alike he is an especially remark
able bird. When the earl Of Baltimore
became the lord of Maryland his fol-
lowers quickly noticed the correspond
ence between his heraldic livery Of
orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid bird that so
abounded in the new estates. so that,
very naturally, the name baltimore
bird was suggested and has been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
full examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence 1t is made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips Of bark.
closely interviewer into sort of sack,
and so firmly knit together that it will
bear a weight of twenty or thirty
pounds In the southern parts of this
birds range the nest is suspended from
two or three terminal twigs for pro-
lection from numerous enemies, such
as snakes. opossums and the like; it
is also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not at the extrem-
ity OF the branches, but in cluster of
twigs that affords shelter. 1t is much
shallower than when exposed TO the
wind, but is very thickly woven and
lined with soft, warm materials. The
orioles loud, fife-libe notes ringing
from the high tree-tops in the morning
are an ample refutation of the old
theory that melody and bright plum
age have never been bestowed ON the
same bird.

Ocean Greyheunas Left Behind.

We land creatures are very proud Of
ourselves. We think we are so superior
in every way to the creatures that
dwell in the seas, and when we dis
cover that we can make steamship
which, under favorable conditions, can
travel from New York to Queenstown
in triie under six days, we call that
vessel an ocean greyhound. Why we
should give greyhound the credit for
all the speed ia creation-among living
things-is not quite clear to those who
know something about whales. The
whale is not only creature of great
strength, but he is one of the most rapid
of moving things He can go faster
than a locomotive when he gets his
muscular steam up, as you will see for
yourself when you realize the fact that
the whale moves through the water
with velocity which, if continued at
the same rate, would enable him to en-
circle the whole earth in less than four
teen days. Considering this, one might
properly ask, why ocean grevhounds?
Why not steam whales?"-PhiladeI-

Nell has reposed these two hundred

reinterred. while superb specimen of

titled descendants, denote the last
resting place of ''folly's foolish fairy"
This unique enterprise would not be
as interesting to the peerage, and the

Lord Paget, Lady Brooke, the earl of
Null and the duke of Leeds might be
less generous had not Nell Gwynne's

4 Wonderful Feat.

Two Americans in the employment
of the government of British Colum bia
recently accomplished a feat hitherto
deemed impossible by crossing the Sell
kirk mountains in the depth of winter.
The object OF the trip was to ascertain
if it were possible to lay out pack
and cattle trail over the range from
Golden to kalso. The men travelled
one hundred and fifty miles on snow
shoes, fifty miles over the widest
mountain country, where glaciers
abounded- They found a pass at an
altitude of six thousand five hundred
feet that is practicable fer cattle and
pack trains in summer. The therno-I.
eter was below zero during most Of the
trin. which occnnied nearly a month.

Silent wonderful and grand,
Looking out ecross the lane
When the golden light was falling
On distant come and spfre,
And / heard low voice calling:
"Cone up higher, come up higher.
From the lowland and the mlre,
From the mist OF earth desire,
From the vain pursuit OF pelf,
From the attitude ot self;
Come up higher, come up higher
Think not that we are cold,
Though eternal SHOWS have crowned Css ,
Think not tilat we are old.
Though the ages die around US;
Underneath our breasts of snow
Silver fountains sing end how;
We reflect the young days bloom
While the valleys sleep in gloom:
We receive the newborn storms
On our rugged, rock-nailed forms,
And restore the hungry lands
With our rivers and our sands -

All the pain Of battle knows,
And has earned his calm repose

We were groaning to be free
From our chains below the sea
Till we heard the sun-our sire
Calling, calling: Come up higher
And we burst our prison bars,
And from out the mist and fire
And the oceans wilo embraces
Apd the elemental wars
We arose and batAed our faces
In the sunlight and the stars"
