A Metal Birds Nest.

In the Museum Of Natural History
at Soleure in Switzerland, there is said
to be a birds nest made entirely Of
steel. There are a number Of clock
making shops at Soleure, and in the
yards of these shops there are often
found lying disused or broken springs
of clocks. One day a clockmaker no.
ticed in a tree in his yard a birds nest
of peculiar appearance. Examining it,
he found that pair or wagtails had
built Il nest entirely of clock springs
1t was more than four inches across,
and perfectly comfortable for the birds
After the feathered architects had
reared their brood, the nest was taken
to the museum. where it is preserved
as striking illustration of the skill Of
birds in turning their surroundings to
advantage in building their nests.

a reversible tie has been placed on the

each side formed OF raised and padded
strip, which covers the ends OF the straps
and forms the upper portion of the tie.
Floor sweepings are easily taken up
BY new dustpan, which rests in de-

flush with the floor and allowing the
dirt to be swept in without the necessity
OF STOPPING to hold the pan with the

To prevent the lines from getting
caught under the pole of a vehicle rein
guard is formed of piece OF wire bent
into a spring loop, to be attached to the
pole near the end, surrounding the point
and guarding the lines from catching
under it.
An Australian has designed a fire es-
