sented to the nation, which in turn is
to maintain it IN its present condition

tiers too closely, and every one will rec
ognize the good intentions of the ladies
who make tie generous gift, but some
day it will be necessary seriously to dis
cuss this business, now SO much in fash
ion, of keeping up the houses that are
associated with the memory of cur great
men. One day it is Carlyle, another it
is Turner, and so on.
There is a little "boom, a few of
the faithful pour in on the opening day
and examine the hat stand, and the

way forget all aboutit. For year or so
stray Americans and provincials keep up
a show Of interest, and then the thing
becomes mere white elephant, Of in
terest or of use to nobody. Lord Leigh
toms house is out beyond Holland Park,

THEY Do NOT SIT.
Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.

Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is % bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs In certain parts CT Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds cf
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs. They have sometimes consid-
erabIe dimensions. A nest that is Il
feet high and SO feet III circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month OF March to
make his forcing beds-namely, leaves
and decomposing vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give off
an appreciable amount of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it sufices
for the development and Matching of the
young birds, and the mother can go
where she likes and occupy herself as
she wishes without being troubled by
the duties of sitting.
In the small island of Ninafou, in
the Pacific, another bird has a some.
what similar habit, in so far as it also
abandons its eggs, but in place Of OBJ
tanning the necessary heat from fer
mentation it gets it from warm sand
The lejpoa, OF native pheasant of Aus
tralia, acts like the megapod and watch
es the temperature Of its mound very
closely, covering and uncovering tee
eggs several times a day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft
er Matching, the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. 1t leaves on
the second day, but returns for the
night, and not until the third day is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.

Send Lee Back to Cuba

If it is true. as now seems probable,
that Consul General Lee has resigned
his post in Havana rather than con.
tinue as party to the administra-
tons Infamous betrayal of American
citizens confined in Cuban prisons,
there is one act by which the incom
ing administration may command the
instant, eager and unqualified support
of the whole people
Let President McKiley re appoint
Gen Lee to the Havana consulate.
and support him in that position with
all the authority that may be neces.
sary to give full force and effect in
behalf of American citizens. Ameri.
can rights and American Interests
The time has come for change in
our whole policy in dealing with the
Spanish power in Cuba Mr. Cleve-
lands trucking to interests of Spain,
heartless Indifference to the outrages
on American citizens and his deafness
to the voice of public sentiment in
this country have become unbearable
His conduct is reproach to himself
and a reflection upon the American
reputation for courage and fair play
Gen Lee is naturally disgusted
with this wretched policy. He is
unwilling to aid Mr. Cleveland's
policy Of treachery and betrayal any
further, and proposes to resign, if,
indeed, he has not already resigned,
rather than remain in the service Of
an administration which is too supine
or too cowardly to protect the lives
of lite own citizens against Spanish
butchers
But Gen. Lee is just the man for
President Mckinley to keep in Ha
vana He is fearless, able. honest
and patriotic, and by this time he
fully knows the Spanish character
If he comes home, let us send him
back to Cuba, accompanied, if need
be by fleet Of gnnboats to support
his demand for the protection of every
American citizen upon :he island =
