BIRD LIGHTED STREET LAMP.
Simple Solution of Incident That
Puzzled Authorities

In suburban town, where tho
streets are lighted by gas lamps,
curious thing happened. A gentle.
man noticed that for sevral nights tho
gas was not lighted in front of his
house and reported the matter to the
gas company. The lamp.lighter who
had the street in charge was sure that
he had lighted it each night. Later
the gentleman noticed that the lamp
was often lighted through the day and
decided that some mischievous boy
was responsible for It, Keeping n
close watch for the offender, he was
astonished to see the light flash up
when not a soul was near IL. Ho
placed ladder against the post ana
climbed UP TO investigate the matter.
he found that the two chains which
turned the light on and off moved SO
easily that the slightest touch was suf.
ficient to send them up or down. But
they could not move of their own
weight nor by the wind. Still more
puzzled, the man returned to his
watch at discreet distance and was
soon rewarded by seeing wren fly
to the lamp, perch itself on the ring
at the end of the chain, and give it
a pull which lighted the gas. He
chen remembered that a wren had
reared brood in the lamp that year.
