ILLUMINATE THEIR NESTS

The rocky head of Cape Comorin, at
the southern extremity of India, seems
to hang out of the water like project
ing roof, and under the caves of this
roof the esculent swallows build their
nests. These nests of the sagacious
little birds, who are sometimes called
Japanese nuns" or "African finches,"
are not safe from the depredations Of
man even in this seclusion, though the
mode Of collecting them is attended
with great danger. The nests are
formed in the shape of watch pockets,
but authorities differ as to their sub
stance. Some claim they are formed
of tiny sea plants; others of some mo-
LUSCIOUS animal; and still others say
they are made of inspissated sea foam,
or fishes spawn. The nests are &C.
mented by glutinous secretion pos
sessed by the swallow, and consist of
two rooms; they form much priced
article Of food in China, where
they are shipped in large quantities
from India and the neighboring islands.
They are white and cl IAN, and when
boiled to jelly have glutinous taste
which is rather insipid to one who has
not Chinese palate.
At night the hundreds of pendulous
nests under the head of Cape Comorin
present strange sight. Sometimes
each nest is illuminated by four or five
lights, which the wise birds procure to
protect their young from the raids of
the murderous bats. They consist of
bits of sticky clay, which the birds
fasten to the top of their nests, and
then place them on the clay. This ar
rangement does not contribute to the
comfort of the firefies, but the light
which they give forth dazzles the eyes
of the thieving bats, and so preserves
the lives of the young birds.-New

4 PROSE PASTEL
BY ELLA A. GILES

Reclining on ssft pillows of richly
embroidered silk, chiefly crimson in
color, the White Lady, sojourning at
Redondo beach, gently falls asleep.
In An antique vase on the table near
her luxurious divan is large bunch Of
red carnations; each one Is distinctly
outlined against a background of pale
blue sea, as it lifts its glowing face
from long, fragile stem and seems 10
challenge the whole world of bloom to
show anything more Immediately
clean, more softly gay, more unobtru-
sively ardent and sweet.
Through the open window may be
seen whole acres of these marveiously
perfect carnations, wrought of the ben
eticial air and sunshine of Southern
California. On the warmest day their
cool petals are as fresh and wholesome
as the touch of child's proffered lips,
or a virgins chastely responsive kiss.
On this supremacy radiant afternoon,
and at this quiet hour, this indescrib-
ably tender perfume is borne less and
less family, and with more and more
heavenly suggestiveness, into the silent
room.
T. White Lady sleeps. No wonder
that Redondo attracts so man beauty
loving and peace-seeking strangers.
The mountains rise on all sides, ma
jestically. like giants of strength and
graciousness stepping from the mighty
yet subdued Pacific.
1t is at Redondo today, and perhaps
on many days, as rarely and royalty
peaceful, faces are bright; when the
oceans turbulence is stiIied. and the
ruggedness of the rocks is hidden By
trailing ropes of gauzy lavender-it is
at r -dondO today-yes, and at this
hour, that extremes are destined to
meet.
The White Lady sleeps aud stirs not.
The separate clusters of rich, dark
hued pinks, in the truly astonishing
field of many shaded, overlapping
satin fringes, sway erceptibly toward
the clear, white feathsry ones, as il fol-
lowin only the imperative Law of con-
trasts and oppOsites. The vast garden
OF carnations is animated. They seem
to be not only whispering but speaking
bravely to each other. Their mutual
condolences are open and unreserved.
lncongruous patches of scarlet and
patches OF rose color blend into almost
startling harmony.
The White Lady, still sleeping, moves
an arm, circles it about her shapely
head, rests her soft cheek upon her
richly jeweled hand, where many bril-
liant diamonds sparkle, and a pale
emerald CLEANS, and one ruby glows
assertively, its presence more clearly
seen because of its proximity to the
crimson cushion and the vase of flow
ers, whose kinship of color, for some
reason unknown to artists, enhances
the tones of their little shining neigh
Dor OF similar hue.
And 80, while the meeting of ex-
tremes goes on, it is seen that like also
seeks like, too, and that, after all, the
spirit of the whole universe tends to-
wards desire for perfect unity, the
blending into harmony that which
sharply contrasts.

the milder mountain zephyrs meet
