MATERIALS OF BIRDS. NESTS.
Strange Composition of Some odd
Specimens


The instinct of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Di-
gest translates from French period
ieal the following examples of birds
facility of adaptation:
A birds nest was found in the suburbs
of Lille that was composed of white
wool and of strips of paper from a tele-
graph office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away.
The bird must have made consider
able number of trips, for the quantity
of paper was large, and it had made
good choice of material, for everyone
knows that paper is a bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat wei. and one does
not need to have travelled around the
world to have found out that on jour
ney a good-sized journal of stout paper,
like the English newspa pers, holds heat
as well as a blanket.
Near BeSancoa another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs.
/ evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con-
( ductors of heat. Finally. near a spot
1 where a large St. Bernard dog is kept
was found nest built of hair detached
I from the dogs coat. In this case the
inspiration was evidently good.

DENTISTRY AT SEA.
And Something Also About the Prac-
tice of Medicine AEoat.

tAGf OF nG0tGfne 4Koats
When a sailor on deep-water ship
has a toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
in his tooth, and If that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it, says the New York
Sun 1t is a common thing for sailors
to pull their own teeth Their method
is to put string around tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; on some vessels
fair outfit of them A ship captain
OF long experience said that in the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-Iabeled.
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically weIl-appointed little drug
store There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest book explaining the uses
of the medicines. The captain is like
~ to have some other book on medical
subjects which he has read and studied.
and he is likely to have had good deal
Of experience before attaining the rank
of master of ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires. the
captain prescribes; he is the physician
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances in which the captain would not
hesitate to perform surgical opera

INoIAN ANTIPATHY TO FISH.
why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Them
as Food.

Why some Tribes VIII Not Use Ihen
as Food.
At recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, Dr.
Washington Matthews, of Washington,
d. c., read a paper on ''Icthyophobia,-
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo. Apache and other Indian
tribes of the far southwest. who viii
not eat fish nor have anything TO do
with articles made in the shape of fish
This taboo with the Navajos extends
TO all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
Of these tribes are sent east 10 be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought. was a
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun
A legcnd to account for this fish
taboo was given There was time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had a big pow-wOw with the
river Indians The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kin no deer. but
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish. but live
entirely upon deer. This made feod
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians viii not
eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of its scarcity, and this reverence ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought, perhaps, this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish

Sir Martin Conway writes:
Seeing that landlords and other owners of

who creates out of nothing work of literature
or art, should a fortiOri possess for himself and

author in "a less favorable position than q land

landlords"
Mr. w. H. Mallock writes:
AS matter of equity l agree with what I

Mr. Herbert Thrlng writes:
"The discussion in your paper with regard to
perpetual copyright Is very interesting TO ME
secretary to the Society of Authors.
There is one point, however. that seems to
have escaped those gentlemen whom you have
asked for their opinion.
Mr. Bernard Shaw considers perpetual copy
right piece of rapacious impudence.
Mr. Courtney thinks a book is national
possession and the other writer's seem 70 think
that the public has a certain claim, after
certain date TO the authors property. This
point then. is clear from the expressed opinions
that literary property belongs either to the
author and his descendants, or to the public

fact that neither the public nor the authors
