The Robin.

The robin is very adaptive bird
certainly. 1t adjusts itself readily to
new conditions, but II falls far short
OF the intelligence that is often as
cribed TO 1t. THUS there are persons
who seem TO believe that when mud
is scarce the robin will bring water
In It's beak tn the Gust Of the road
and 50 make the mortar that 1t
needs. This notion Is, OF course,
absurd. How could the robin know
that water and dust will make mudY
THIS knowledge Is the result OF re-
Election and experiment and Is not
within the reach Of an animal. More
than that II the robin could find the
water he could certainly lind the mud
somewhere. have known them to
use substitute for mud furnished
by the cows.
Another equally absurd claim for
the robin comes from correspondent.
| A robin had her nest In tree IN
der his chamber window In such q
position that he could see all that
happened In the nest. He says that
when the young robins were nearly
grown he saw the mother bird take
them, one by one, by the nape OF
the neck and bold them out over
the rim OF the nest to teach them to
use their wings / suppose ''our
modern school OF nature study
would accept this statement without
question. 1t Is such preposteIous
natural history as this that furnishes
the stock In trade OF this ''school. -

Roses challenge to Jeffries was the sole
topic of interest to the Frisco sporting

boy to cross arms with the greatest INST

the def as serious affair, possibly fore
shadowing the passing of FERRIES from the
top of the heavyweight division.
Jefries Is not inclined to laugh at Rose.
He says that there are no men in the game
at present that can give him battle, and
that all he can see In sight Is the coming
up of new man. Rose has all the phys
