the riders when Miss Carroll attempted
to cross to permit her clearing the

WAYS oF The CuCkOOs.
Conclusions Derived From n Long Series
of Observations In England.

The London Field tells of the eggs of
the cuckoo and of the foster parents as
exhibited in collection comprising 019
cuckoo eggs and accompanying clutches,
or sets, of the foster parents. These egg
sets were owned by Il. Bidwell Walter
Rothschild, p. Crowley and man not
member Of the British Ornithologists'
club, II. Massey, who had more than
any other-275 cuckoo eggs and 80 fos
terers'. The conclusions which have
been arrived ut in regard TO the habits
of this feathercd tough are put down in
one, two, three order, according to OBJ
servations recorded. These conclusions
give curious and interesting insight
into the ways Of u bird the like of
which, insomuch as the habits are con-
cerned, is found in the American COW
bird
The eggs of the European cuckoo vary
more in size and color (markings) than
the eggs of any other bird. These eggs
Fare remarkable in their form, the weight
of the shells and the thickness and
hardness of the shells. The eggs laid in
the nests of two kinds of birds (Ruti-
ella phnnicurus and Fringilla month
fringilla) are nearly always like the
eggs of the foster parents. Furthermore,
limitations are also common i'll nests of
four other varieties, but are never found
in several species. 1t seems from this
that the cuckoo has the power of laying
eggs of certain color or size resem-
bling those Of the duped foster parents,
in Mt least some instances. Most cuckoos
lay their eggs in nests Of some particu-
lar species of bird, the red breasts or
reed warbler, for instance. Cuckoos
change to other varieties of nests only
when they cannot find the accustomed
ones, and they come to one district year
after year.
The female bird lays about 20 eggs in
a year, which is more than the respect
able female birds of ordinary species.
This is because of the precarious exist
ence of the eggs, which are liable to be
thrown to the ground by the birds in
whose nest they are placed. One egg
only is placed in one nest by the mother
bird, which usually, though not always,
throws out one of the original eggs.
One hundred and nineteen varieties
of birds have been imposed upon by the
cuckoo, and while most of these birds
We're small ones, warblers, hycatchers
and the like, turtle, stock and ring
doves, little grebes, mapgies, jackdoves,
and even the shrikes flour kinds), have
given support to this race of beggars.

Madras Thundcrstorms.

As the result Of his prolonged study
Of those striking phenomena, the thun-
derstorms Of Madras, Professor Smith
informs the Scottish Meteorological So
ciety that the first remarkable fact OBJ
served by him was that of certain sea-
sons Of the year when sheet lightning
appeared almost every night, always in
a west or southwesterly direction and
invariably near the horizon; it may be,
therefore, he remarks, that these dis
charges occur in the region where the
moist and dustless sea wind meets the
dry and dusty land wind, one being,
perhaps, positively electrified and the
other negatively. In these lightning dis
plays as many as 800 flashes per minute
have been counted, this rate being kept
up for an hour or an hour and half.
Another notable popularity remarked
Of this region is that the heaviest rains
are unaocompanied by thunder, while
the displays Of lightning are not accom-
panied by any rain.

"Auld Robin Gray"

A ballad that won instant fame
against the expectation and even the
wish of its author was "Auld Robin
Gray" written by Lady Anne Lindsay
about the end of the last century mere
ly for her own satisfaction to replace
the COARSE verses Of an old melody that
pleased her. She sang charmingly, and
the new ballad soon came into favor.
Great was the curiosity aroused as to
the author Of this pathetic song in
whose simple verses all the elements of
q heartrending tragedy are contained,
but Lady Anne, modest and retiring by
nature, preserved silence for many
years, smiling no doubt at the contro-
versy that ragged SO hotly. In the course
Of it her ballad was attributed by some
disputants to David Rizzio. declared by
Others to be O genuine sixteenth century
production and finally made the subject
Of 30 guinea prize to be bestowed on

ChristianiR.

The chief street of Christiania is the
broad Karl Johans Gade, which leads
up from the eastern station to the pal
ace. Here on opposite sides are two
buildings Of Importance, where young
men flock to study and old men meet to
legislate The proximity of politics and
learning recalls the conception of Stein,
who hoped that the presence of great
university in Berlin would have Il good
effect on the government The chief
Prussian and Norwegian temples of the
thoughtful goddess were founded within
few years of each other. Both have
displayed n readiness to welcome new
ideas and furthered the cause of free
dom in countless fields Of thought.
The life and movement of the city
are practically confined to this street
and the harbor. There the dramatist Ib-
sen is in the habit Of walking every day,
and his countrymen are said to regulate
their watches by his appearance. 1t was
my fortune to lunch in restaurant at a
table not far from where he sat, but his
face did not specially attract me. Those
who feel more sympathy with his works
and relish his portraits of exceptions
would be fascinated by his grim and
Grabbed features, unrelieved by any
frank or genial smile, for Of such are
the worlds reformers.
Inclosed in shed on the grassy
ground behind the university buildings
are two viking ships, which date from
the middle ages. No relics Of the past
are more essentially poetic than those
which mark the earliest triumphs Of
man in his awful struggle with things.
According to all accounts, the lot Of
Norwegian fishermen and peasants is
still peculiarly hard, for nature is a
cruel stepmother, and life becomes al
most tragic for them by excess Of work.
