romantic story is told in Londor
about Lord Kelvin's second marriage
In the early '70s he, then Sir William
Thomson was in West Indian waters
on board his schooner yacht, the Lalls

the question of simplifying the
methods of signals at sea. He had
been talking of it at the dinner table
of a friend in Madeira, and the only
comprehension that seemed able to
grasp it was that of his hosts daugh-

the signal was sent; and she did
succeed in making it out and in trans

was: Yes"

! full nestlings TO secure exclusive

mate, with her assistance, during the
! process on breeding and feeding Tie
young, and many others.
Some persons viii perhaps scott at
the idea of a birds polite manners.
| and we shall hear again the old CON-
plant of those who have no real &C
quaintance with birds IN their homes,
that we make them too human. but let
me present a few trustworthy facts
explain them who can. Many Oh
our winged fellow-creatures welcome
, the approach of their mates by sud
den opening and closing of the
wings. The several kingb,rds which
! | have studied first flew around in
circle of a few feet added a note or
two of greeting, then lifted the wings
with an air that spoke louder than
words" That we have not seen
more of such things in bird life is
probably because We have not studied
| them closely enough The bows and
genuflections of the burrowing owl OF
the west, as one passes his mound,
which gives him the name of How
d'y-do owl" and the wellauthenticat-
ed and oft-repeated account OF the
cedar birds offering a delectable
morsel to his neighbor, in some cases
passing it back and forth among
several, both call for explanation
from the skeptical.
In
birds show as much individuality as
men. There are birds of solitary
tastes who are never found with
their kind. excepting with a mate in
nesting time, and others who mate
for life and are always found in pairs.
Again there are species who separate
by sexes, each sex forming flock OF
its own and remaining thus except
during the period of nesting. Our
red-winged blackbird is an example.
Still others of the tribe live always
III crowd, not even in nesting time
separating from their fellows. This
is the habit of grackles. martins
swallows, and others. They are not
associated for mutual protection. for
most of them are abundantly able to
take care of themselves. but evidently
for pure love of society. One OF
these communities is as sociable ana
talkative as sewing society or an
afternoon tea.
An African bird has what might be
called dinner parties, where number
assemble and by dancing about in
shallow lake stir up the inhabitants
fish, frogs. etc.--and then dine upon
them. We have often heard of the
trick of carrying a hard shell to a
height and dropping it to break it
and feast on the dweller therein, but
one of the clever crow family has a
gentler and quite as successful a
way. He simply taps on the door of
the recluse-often a hermit crab.
OF course that brings him out to see
| what it means, with the usual result.

How President Hadley Asked for Wife

A story is told in faculty circles at
Yale which goes back to 1891 for its
time setting, and concerns itself with
President Hadley's manner of asking
the late Governor Luzon B. Morris
OF Connecticut for the hand of his
daughter in marriage. Professor Had.
ley made the call, which was to deter.
mine his future, just at the time when
the reelection of Governor Morris was
in grave doubt, and the courts were
debating the matter and the legisla
ture refusing to ratify it. What can
| do for you, Arthur" asked the older
man kindly, suspecting that his daugh-
ter was the reason of the visit.
Il have come to you" said Profess
sor Hadley, making his famous fore
arm gesture, "to know definitely
whether or no l may call you COVER

1t is related that on the last tour of

all were asked to attend a negro
church in Thomasville, Ga, where a
fervent colored minister officiated.
1t is said that whenever lull came
in the services the deacon took up a

motives avoided passing the box to
the white visitors. The old pastor
rose at last and preached a sermon
that was at the same time eloquent,
earnest and neutrality-suspicious.
right at the white folks-and his de
scription of the poverty of the church
was so impressive that when the dea-
cons passed the contribution boxes
around for the third time Mr.. Car
negie intercepted one and dropped a
$50 bill in the box.
The old preacher counted their con
tents. Wien he had finished he
placed a handful of small change on

other. Clearing his throat he said:
