At this moment the lights were dashed

from the room. The next morning there
was no sign of life in the old house and in

NEST AS BIG AS A CITY lot.
Marvellous Mounds Built by the Mall
Ice Hens of Australia.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The malice hen of Australia lays its
eggs in a huge nest The nest is really
an artificial mound of gigantic proportions
for the size of its maker and the purpose
it is to serve. This artificial mound is a
cooperative incubator. 1t is built by
many pairs of birds, male and female
working alike to construct it. These
same pairs or 1ocks of birds annually le-
pair and enlarge the queer-looking cone,
which rises up like a turret dome from
the level prairie.
Sometimes these tunnels attain a hight
of fully fifteen feet in the perpendicular,
with a radius of equal measurement.
Many of 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 funnel cavity at the top
of the cone.
The hens of all the building and repair
ing pairs lay in this immense nest. The
eggs are deposited about six feet below
the surface. While each hen lays her egg
in the family mound, no hen drops her
egg closer than twenty inches to that of
her neighbor. These eggs are deposited in
a-caVity made for it, wherein il is placed
in a vertical position. carefully covered,
and the surface as carefully smoothed over
by the hen before she quits the nest. Con-
trary to the usual practice of the bird and
fowl species, these malice hens lay at
night. instead of in the day. Several days
eapse also between 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 exca-
waited from their egg grave. for the eggs
are deposited fully six feet below the sur

VESSEL NOT A
BLOCKADE-RU RUNNER
The French Embassy Asks for the Re
lease of the French Prize, the
Olinde ROdriguz.
OREGON

WASHINGTON, July 28.-The French
embassy has called the attention of the
state department to the circumstances
connected with the seizure of the French
merchant steamship Olinde Rodriguez,
and has requested the immediate re-
lease OF that steamer. The action was
taken simultaneously with a protest
from the French Transatlantic Steam
.sstnp Company against the seizure. TIE
state department has submitted all the
papers in the case to the department of
justice, with view to getting an opln-
. ion on the legal questions involved.
Grounds OF the representations OF the
Nl-sm Dassy are that the Rodriguez was en-
gagged in ordinary mercantile pursuits,
and has also on board the official mail
of the French government, destined to
the French minister at Port au Prince.
1t is said that her manifest shows she
was not intending to enter a blockaded
port.
The representations are those usually
made in behalf of French interests, and
there is no disposition at the state de-
partment to regard them as other than
a friendly inquiry.
