Discussing an interesting paper IN
the Century, "Why the Southern Con
fcdpracy failed" by Gen. Stephen d.
Lee, the Nicksburg Post says.
The final reason, is that the North
was stronger, richer, more pOpul0uS
and better armed and equipped than
the South. This will be the indlct Of
history. Apparently at one or two
critical periods Of the civil war it
looked as if the South might succeed,
but this was more in the seeming
than in the realty. A full and com
%prchcnsiyc review Of all the events Of
the war, from the beginning to the
end, taken as "A whole, shows that it
was IA hopeless struggle from the start.
Every expectation of the Southern
leaders failed them. Cotton was not
king. The nations Of the world de-
clined to recognize the Southern Con-
fcdcracy, or to open the blockades or
to intervene. The blockade isolated
the C%onfcderacy and deprived its gov
eminent Of the power to build a navy
and send it abroad. The North did
not divide as was predicted, but be-
came more intensified and c%oncentra-
ted in purpose as the war progressed.
The South had no mean of replcniSh-
iShing its armies. The North had the
world from which to recruit its armies.
1t vas simply an aggravated case Of
the big chap and the little chap. Hap
PLY we are all back again in the
national family, united, content
cd and patriotic, while we OF the
South can look back with pride to tho
heroic courage Of the Confederate vet
Grams. without any sentiment or bit
terncss or regret that the verdict OF
the battle was against us. 1T is bet
ter for the South, as well as the North
that we arc one people, and that two
rival governments are not standing OF
this continent as a perpetual menace
to each other.

THEY DO NOT SIT.

Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.
It is we'll known that the Australian
megapod is a bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs. In certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds Of
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-
cradle dimensions. A nest that is IL
feet high and So feet in circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds It's 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 appreoiable amount Of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suf1ices
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 = 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 leipoa, or native pheasant Of Aus
tralia, acts like the inegapod and watch
es the temperature of its mound very
closely, covering and uncovering the
eggs several times day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft
er Matching the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. It 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.
