LIGHTS FOR BIRDS NESTS.
Some Curious Habits Practiced In
the World of SOngdom.


Many birds suspend their nests from
the branches of trees, one of the most
curious nests of that kind being that
of the baya bird of India. 1t is hung
from the branch, with it's opening at
the bottom, and hangs like an inverted
bottle, secure from the approach Of
tree snakes and other reptiles. The
most curious thing about the baya
bird is that it is said to light up it's
nest by sticking freflies on it's sides
with clay or soft mud. There seems to
be little doubt of the fact.
Dr. Buchanan says: cat night each
Of the habitations is lighted up by a
FREELY stuck in the top with piece of
clay. The nest consists of two rooms.
Sometimes there are three OF four fire
flies, and their blaze in the little cells
dazzles the eyes Of the bats, which Of
ten destroy the young of these birds"
Perhaps other animals are scared off
by the baya birds electric light. since
a writer in Nature records this curl
Gus observation: 81 have been Informed
on safe authority that the Indian bot
tie bird protects his nest at night by
sticking several of these glow beetles
around the entrance by means of clay,
and only few days back an intimate
friend of my own was watching three
rats on roof rafter of his bungalow.
When a glow fly lodged very close to
them, the rats Immediately scampered
Off."-Our Dumb Animals.

The Sex of Shins.

The word "ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish ard Portu-
guese and possesses no sex in TeutOnic
and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would
not be an error to trace the custom of
feminizing ships back to the Greeks,
who called them by feminine names,
probably out of Difference to Athene,
goddess Of the sea. But the English
speaking sailor assigns no such rea-
sons. The ship to him is always lady,
even though she be a man-o-war. She
possesses waist, collars, stays, laces,
bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches
and dozens of other distinctly feminine
attributes.--Colliers Weekly.

UP HEAD ON A BLUNDER,
Erroneous Answer Wins Comm ada
ton From a Latin Teacher.

Erroneous Answer Wins Comm enda-
ton From a Latin Teacher.
'NThe class in Latin will now recite,"
said the Latin teacher at one of the
city high schools the other day.
The members of the class in Latin,
consisting of 30 or more bright looking
girls, with three or four boys, came
forward and took their places. All
moved along smoothly until the dec
Gnation of the noun 'donum" was in
order, and there was trouble. 1t was
the ablative that caused the trouble.
For the benefit of those not acquainted
with the mysteries of Latin it may be
mentioned right here that the ablatiye
is ''deno," and the pronunciation is the
same as if one should say don't
know" slurring the two words, as is so
frequently done, to "don' know"
Miss JONES'" said the teacher to
the head of the class, "what is the
ablative of 'donum?'"
Miss Jones gave her version and
was told to sit down. The question in
turn went down the entire length of
the GLASS; all failing, until it reached
the last. boy who had a reputation
for baseball and football, but none for
scholarship.
"Well. Percy, the ablative of do
num?" asked the teacher.
Percy scratched his head and despair
ingly looked at his grinning class
mates.
"Don' know" he finally blurted out.
Right" said the teacher; Ego up
head
And then the class broke out into a
laugh that cost each member ten
marks. but none peached on Percy.
and the teacher to this day cannot un-
derstand what there is so comical in
the ablative of "donum. In
ter Ocean.
