The stormy Petrol.

the Strand.
The stormy petrels nest just above the
Atlantic surge on the islets near Iona and
the Hebrides. There above the rock on
certain islands in a black, buttery soil, in
which they burrow like little winged mica
and on a nest of sea pink lay one white
egg. AS this desertion of the regions of
light and air by birds Is something out
side the natural course of their lives il
leads to various odd and unexpected So
cial complications and domestic problems
Among the latter is serious one, the diff
Guilty OF keeping the underground housa
clean or moderately cool 1t is usually very
hot. Sand martins, for instance do NOT ar
tempt to ventilata their burrows as rabbits
and rats do. neither do kingfishers nor the
ste rmy petrels when they make their own
burrows and do not creep into chinks IA
tween piles of stones or rocks Evidence
OF the high temperature of this hot cham
Der" where the young petrels are Matched
Outer Hebrides. " Wv
The people say that they hatch their
eggs, not BY sitting on them but by sit
ting near them. at a distance of six inches
between them and the opening of the bur
row. Then the petrels turn their heads to-
ward the eggs and Goo at them day and
night, and so hatch them with their song .
This, which sounds like a fable of the East
Atlantic islands, has really a basis in fact.
dISHdfH says the account Is
very correct: though / never heard the
cooling noise by day. 1 often did in the
evening. 1t is rather purring noise. When
Its nest Is opened up the bird is usually
found covering few inches away from its
egg" This hot and stuffy atmosphere may
aid the Matching of the eggs; but there is
no doubt that 1t brings into being other
and very undesirable forms of life. The
nests and burrows of sand-martins are
full of most unpleasant insects, and those
of the kingfsher are nearly as bad.

RECEPTION TO THE RALEIGH.
Famous Cruiser Anchored at SOuth-
port. y. g. Last Evening.

The United States cruiser Raleigh arrived
at Southport. y. c. last evening
A dispatch says This has been a gala
afternoon for the lower Cape Fear, for
Wilmington sent her beauty and her chiy
airy down the river to give the cruiser RAJ
leigh rousing southern welcome TO tho
waters of the old north state. Southport's
water front was alive with flags in the RAJ
leighs honor, and the steamer Marion. gay
ly decked with flags, came down the river
about l. o'clock with the navigation com
mttee on board, and a little later came the
steamers Compton. Hornet and Whining
ton. covered with bunting and crowded
with people anxious to give their cheer OF
welcome 10 the cruiser.
The afternoon passed slowly to waiting
crowds. but at BIB O'Clock the Oak Island
life-saving crew slgnaled that the Raleigh
was in sight. The steamers immediately
passed out and with cheers and whistles
met the cruiser just off the bar. As the
Hornet came abreast she fired the national
salute of twenty-One guns with her Hotch-
kiss.
The Raleigh followed by the Hornet,
Wilmington. Marion, Compton and Capo
Fear, then came in over the bar at 6:1u. and
as she came opposite Fort Caswell the forL
welcomed her with the national salute
from its rapid-fire gun, and the Raleigh
responded with twenty-One guns, making L
slight picture Of how she must have looked
entering Mania ndlbOr on that memorable
LIST of May. The Raleigh then steamed on
and anchored IN front of the town at Go
O'Clock pm.
The Raleigh is drawing twenty feet six
inches, and Captain Coghlan and his Otti-
GERS much regret that on account of this
draft ii is not advisable To take the ship
on up the river To Wilmington.
The entertainment committee from VIII
mlngton is arranging TO send a steamer to-
morrow to take Captain Coghlan and his
officers to Wilmington TO give the cordial
reception for which it has planned, and
also arrange for the presentation OF the
gun captured at Manila. Southport is ar
ranging to give the Ralegh's crew pleas
ant day ashore tomorrow.
