THE SMOKE
An Improvement Noticed in Atmos-
pheric Conditions.

Smoke which bedimmed the horizon
for so many evenings, due to the pro-
miscous burning Of leaves, was notice
ably absent last night.
The order issued by Superintendent
Of Police Gormon yesterday to the
effect that the ordinance covering the
burning of leaves and rubbish Of all
descriptions must be complied with
under any and all circumstances.
probably accounts for the clearing of
the sky over Richmond.
The dewy mist, which was later
turned to frost, by the cold, was the
only thing noticeable in the atmos-
phere. The sky was clear and the
moonlight added to the enhancing
nature Of the night.

Apparently two factors enter into
the haminso's type of architecture;
they must build where there is mud,

tents from any normal rise in the
water due to tides or rainfall, says

After watching a nesting colony of
fiamtosos in the Bahamas for nearly
an hour, at distance OF $50 yards.

males sat upon the nests while the
males stood up together, evidently
near by My Gissections. however,
showed that both sexes incubate.
while continued observation from
the tent revealed the presence of
only one bird of the pair in the rock
cry at the same time. The bird on
the nest was relieved late in the at
ternooa. and early in the morning
