THE STATELY STORK.

and His Lack of Voice.

and His Lack of Voice.
In Holland the nests of storks are
generally on the summit of a tall post,
put up on purpose for them, on which
IS fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer "a Dutch gentleman
of my acquaintance has one such post
In his grounds within sight of his IL
brary window, but he improves on the
cart wheel by having an iroa frame
work for the reception of the nest The
first year it was put up, toward the
end of June, solitary young stork
used TO come daily and inspect this
framework | saw him there myself
one day, standing in the empty recep-
tacle exactly like would be Benedict
inspecting an empty house, contem-
plating the view and wondering If the
drains are all right. The verdict was
apparently favorable, for next season
saw the nest occupied by the newly
welded pair. Their power of wing Is
very fine, and on hot days | have
watched them ascending spiral circles,
hardly moving their broad, black
wings, till they have looked no bigger
than flies. After the young are hatch.
ed they appear to be suspicious of one
another and unwilling to leave the
nest unguarded." >.
Storks have no voice. The only -nolse
they make is "klappering" "lsnapplng
their great red mandibes rapidly and
loudly Thus they greet one another,
generally by throwing back the head
until the upper mandible rests on the
back, but occasionally "klappering" Is
performed with the head and bill In
the former position.
