Night Lights for Birds Nests.

Many birds suspend their nests
from the branches of trees, n of the
most curious nests of that kind being
that of the Baya bird, of India. 1t is
hung from The branch, with its open
ing at the bottom, and hangs like an
inverted bottle, secure from the APP
proach of tree snakes and other rep
tiles. The most curious thing about
the Baya bird is that it is said to light
up its nest by sticking irefies on its
sides with cay or soft mud. There
seems to be little doubt of the fact.
DR.. Buchanan says Sat night each
habitation is lighted up by q FREELY

The nest consists Of two rooms; some
times there are three or four firefies,
and their blaze in the little cells daz-

1t is said that, one day, Michael
Angelo, the great Italian artist, went
to call upon a friend, and, finding him
away from home, took a bit of chalk
and drew a circle on the door. When
the owner of the house returned, and
saw what had been done, he said:
"Michael Angelo has been here; no
other man in Florence could have
drawn so perfect a circle as that"
Genius and lifelong training were
proclaimed by that simple chalk mark
on the door. 1t required but a mo-
