looking cone, which rises up like q turret
dome from the level prairies.
Sometimes these tunnels attain q height
of fully fifteen feet In the perpendicular,
with radius of equal measurement. Many
or these nests have measured as much as
fifty yards. or $50 feet, around their base
That would give the largest one measured
a diameter of about fifty feet. These
mound nests are entered through a sort Of
tunnel cavity at the top Of the cone.
The hens of all the building and repairing
pairs lay in this Immense nest. The eggs
are deposited about six feet below the sur
face. While each hen lays her eggs in the
family mound. no hen drops her egg closer
than twenty inches to that of her neigh
Dor. These eggs are deposited in a cavity
made for 1t. wherein 1t is placed in a verti-
cal position. carefully covered, and the sur
face as carefully smoothed over by the hen
before she quits the nest. Contrary to the
usual practice of the bird and fowl species,
these malice hens lay at night, instead of
in the day. Several days elapse also be-
tween the dropping Of two eggs by the
same hen.
The eggs Of the malice hen are out of all
proportion to her size. They are as large
as those of a goose, and Of large hens are
very much larger.
The eggs thus laid and covered in this
great sand oven in the hot districts are
never again disturbed by the hens. The
eggs are Matched by the heat the sun bakes
into the soil where they lay. 1t has never
been known how the young chicks are ex-
cdHdleu IEom their eSS grave, IOr the eggs
are deposited fully six feet below the sur
face, and the hardening rains do not aid
their exit very much.
The hen is SO very shy and vigilant that
no one is able to study her maternal and
domestic habits with satisfaction. AS she
lays her eggs at night and transacts most
of her affairs in the night watch, so that
no naturalist or curious individual can fer
ret her out, possibly she steals to her ex-
pected brood under cover of night also,
and gives them the parental unearthing
which they must surely need after the
piping of the eggshell.
Bush naturalists have been curious to
know how this peculiar fowl builds that
nest. The birds have been seen working at
1t and the mounds have been inspected, but
the piling of the dirt Is not from the imme-
date vicinity, for that Is undsturbed.
Small sprigs and the like enter into the
plastic masonry, which stands storms and
heavy rains, when they do fall without
serious injury.
These huge cones stand for years, to be
annually nestled in by the same flock which
originally constructed the family incubator.
When detected the hens emit a pitiful little
cackle, and fiutter away like a wounded in
nocent- The young Of a covey either root
under the sand or hide behind some mound
or object of a friendly color.

PROBLEMS OF DRESS
An Important Discussion From the
Earliest Times.

a 'OWLING SMELLS MISTAKE

Written for The Evening Star
Among other leading questions, the what
to-wear discussion has been an important
one from the earliest times-dating in
truth, from the Garden of Eden. 1t has fig
ured in history as the topic of writer's,
sacred and profane, from the days of Jo-
seph with his coat of many colors, the
Romans with their toga and tunic. down
through medieval armor, the Spanish
sombrero, or cowboys hat, the high silk
hat of today and even to the modern bath
ing SUIT.
Dress discussion is no new thing indeed.
and the get-up of this years dude is not
more talked of than was the gorgeous cos
tune of the French Directoire and tie
dandy of Beau Brummeis day, a century
ago. Climate has much to do with tie
matter, of course, but, whether it be for
comfort or fashion. the inhabitant of
every quarter of the globe arrays himself
in some sort of raiment.
The Esquimaux wraps himself in furs,
the South Sea Islander sports a nose ring.
and. perhaps. pair of ankle bracelets.
while the native of tropical Nicaragua, ac
cording TO consular report, usually wear
a straw hat and a cigarette. Citizens OF
the enlightened temperate zone combine
comfort with elegance, and carry the
adornment of their persons-more especial
among the arts
After something of an interval. argu-
ments have been heard again recently for
and against the dress suit. or rather the
hammer coat for gentlemen'S evening
wear This time the agitation proceeds
from certain young and midcle-aged men,.
who. like Joseph SedIey, the civilian OF
Waterloo fame. prefer the gallant-looking
buttOned-up military coat to any other.
Sedley's coat was a fine affair, with It's

WON THREE STRAIGHT
LOS ANGELES TAKES ANOTHER
GAME FROM SANTA CRUZ
The Visitors Unable to Hit Harvey.
They Will Remain Over
Sunday

The Los Angeles ball club won their
third straight victory from the Santa
Cruz club yesterday afternoon at Fiesta
park in well played game, which nearly
700 people witnessed. From the very
start the home team took the lead and
had the game won in four innings. They
found Doyle, the Santa Cruz pitcher, an
easy mark, and hit his curves almost
as they liked. Every man in the team
made at least one hit, and Decker, who
carried off the batting honors, got
three to his credit. On the other side
the Santa Cruz men could not find the
ball which Harvey delivered to them,
and only for one inning did they do any
really good batting. In that they made
two earned runs, one of them being the
result of three-base hit.
In the seventh inning Deveraux was
put in to pitch for the visitors, but he
did not fare much better.
The Santa Cruz men came here ex-
pecting to win all three games from'the
local club and were surprised at the ex-
cellent game put up by the latter organ
ization. After yesterdays game their
manager decided that it would not be
safe to return home without at least one
victory. He will therefore keep the team
here another week and will play the Los
Angeles club again Saturday and Sun
day. The club win practice every after
noon at Fiesta park. The score in yes
terdays game follows: ..,a

Koealing was employed in the Broad
way hotel in Denver and had access to
all the halls of that establishment. Three
weeks ago he secured an entrance into
the rooms of number of guests by
means Of a pass key and stole jewelry
and other valuables to the amount of

ing disposed of his booty in a Denver
