Lord Leighton's house is to be pre-
sented to the nation, which in turn is
to maintain it in is present condition
as an artistic monument of its late own
er. Itis ungracious to discuss such mat
ters too closely, and every one will rec
ognize the good intentions Of the ladies
who make the 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 our great
men. One day it is Carlyle, another it
is Turner and so on.
There is little "boom, few of
the faithful pour in on the opening day
and czaluine the hat stand, and the
walking stick, and the dining room ta-
bic, and then they 90 away and straight
way forget all aboutit. For a year on so
stray Americans and provincials keep up
a show of interest, and then the thing
becomes a mere white elephant, of in
terest or Of use 20 nobody. Lord Leigh
toms house is out beyond Holland Park,
and, as it is not to be either a school, a
museum or a home, who is likely after
the first few weeks to take the trouble
TO 60 three or four miles TO visit it?-

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

Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is a bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs Ia certain parts Of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which tho
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-
erable Dimensions. A nest that is IA
feet high and 50 feet in circumference
may b. regarded as large.
Eecn megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly wh-t the
gardener uses in the month of March TO
make his forcing beds-namoly, leaves
and deoomposing vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give OIL
an appreciable amount Of heat In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
/ ing Of the seeds. In the nest it suffices
/ for the development and Matching of the
young birds, and the mother can 90
where she likes and occupy herself as
she wishes without being troubled by
the duties Of sitting
In the small island Of Ninafou, il
K the Pacific, another bird has some
what similar habit. in so far as il also
abandons its eggs, but in place of ob.
tanning the necessary heat from fer.
mentation it gets it from warm sand.
The leipoa, or native pheasant Of Aus
tralia, acts like the megapod and watch
es the temperature Of its mound very
closely, covering and uncoyering the
eggs several times a day to cool them
OF 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 il
able to leave for good the paternal abode

PHILADELPHlA's FIRE.
over &1,000.OO0 Worth OF Property Do
stroyed In the Quaker City.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-Onc Of the
most valuable blocks of buildings in this
city has been destroyed by fire II was tho
block bounded by Market, Thirteenth, Fill
bert and Juniper streets, in I. cry hcart
of the city. A few steps to the right looms
the massive city hall, around the cornor
stands the Pennsylvania railroad termi-
nal, and directly across tie way John
WanamakCr's great store stretches from
street TO street So icrce were the flames
and so strong the wind which aided its
destructive work that even this building,
distant the width Of MarSct stIoet, was
saved almost by miracle from tal dc
struction, and Mr.. Wanamaker places his
loss at 500, 00O
The total loss is variously estimated at
from 81, 000, 600 to 81, 300, 900. The losses
are very generally covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the Easement Of
the six story building extending from 1909
TO 1917 Market street, occupied in the low
er floors by Hanscom Bros. grocers, and
above by the umbrella factory of Hirsh
Bros The smoke was discovered by po-
liceman who promptly turned Al an alarm,
but the fire made such hoadwss that be-
fore the engines could be put to work the
building was mass Of flames. With un-
controllable rapidity, Ii then spread in all
directions, destroying about 30 buildings
before it had been finally controlled The
fire reached the big tower Of Wanamaker' S
store about an hour after It started and
the energies of the department were tlen
concentrated upon saving that building
The tower was entirely destroyed, together
with the valuable clock and chimes Tho
roof all along TIE Market street front was
badly damaged, and great deal of the
stock in the front Of the store suffered
from smoke and water
Several fremen were hurt, but none seri-
Ously, and one man dropped dead from ex-
citement. He was John l.. Felt, bookkeep-
er in the employ of a carpet firm at 1920
Market street. Felt, who was an old man,
became excited while helping to get goods
out of the store and succumbed to heart
disease He was native of Boston

Jersey and the inauguration.

TRENTON. Jan. a. ~ Assemblyman
RICHTER offered a resolution in the lower
branch of the New Jersey legislature ap-
propriating s1O,0 for the transportation
of portion Of the militia of this state TO
Washington to participate in the inaugu-
raj parade on March 4. 1t provides that
the governor shall designate a provisional
regiment of II companies to be selected
from different companies of the state and
two cavalry companies. The resolution
was introduced because it had come to the
ears of assemblymen that General Horace
Porter had written letter TO Vice Pres
idcnt Elect Hobart deploring the fact that
New Jersey was not TO be represented in
the parade and that it would be the only
state not participating therein. Mr.. Ho-
bart sent the letter to Governor Griggs
without comment, and while the govern
or took no action it was knowledge of
this correspondence which brought about
this action. The resolution will come up
for discussion next week
