rapid and angry darting of humming
bird near my face which led me to look
closely in that part of the tree, which
resulted after little search in the dis.
covery of my first humming birds nest.

Rats Forced tc Keep Gnawins.

Have you any idea why it is that
rats, mice and squirrels are continually
gnawing at something? They do not
do this for ''pure devilment," as people
generally imagine, but because they
are forced to. Animals of that class,
especially the rats, have teeth which
continue to grow as long as their owner
lives. In the human species the teeth
are developed from pulps which are
absorbed and disappear as soon as the
second set are full grown, but in the
case of the much maligned rat the pulp
supply is perpetual, and is continually
secreting materials by which the in
cisors gain in length. This being the
case, the poor creature is compelled to
keep up his regular gnawing opera
tions in order to keep his teeth ground
off to proper length.-St. Louis Re-
