CANNOT BREED SWANS.
Al nAosts at the New YORK Zoo nave

NP0.

All efforts to breed swans At the roo
have failed. Frequently the females
have deposited eggs in their nests, but
it takes q long time to hatch q swan S
egg, and there are 30 many people and
80 much excitement TO distract the
birds attention that the maternal in
stinct has not proven sufficiently
strong.
Superintendent Brown, in speaking
of this the other day, drew compari-
son between English and American
people which was not fiattering to the
latter, says the Philadelphia Record.
"In England" he snid. "the people in
general. even the small boys, seem to
feel a great interest n the lower order
of animals. In America 1t is just the
reverse. Here the spirit of destruction
seems dominant. Take, for instance,
swans nest. Instead of being nur-
tured and watched and carefully guard
ed against harm. as would be the case
in England, i, would be the target for
mischievous and destructive persons.
1t seems to be characteristic Of the
American people"

INDUSTRY OF A TINY BIRD.
Little wrsn Busy During It's
WAkiAG Hours.

One OF the most industrious OF
birds il the wren. Its industry is
probably due to its appetite, which
is seemingly Unsuitable. 1t seems TO
be always hungry shd is ever on the
alert for means to satisfy the crav-
ings Of its appetite.
This is the season OF the year when
the city man returns from his two
weeks outing in the woods, primsd
up with more accumulated knowl-
edge than the good old "man with
the hoe" has been able to acquire in
a lifetime. One Of him, who has been
spending the vacation time in vir-
ginia, furnishes details as to the
abnormal cravings for food displayed
by young wrens. He found nest
and took up q position where he
could watch at his leisure The moth
er wren made no trips to the nest
within four hours and half, and
this was the bill Of fare which the
three baby birds consumed:
Twenty green caterpillars, 16 May
flies. 20 unidentified insects, II
worms, two bugs. ten grasshoppers,
seven spiders and chrysalis or two.
