The cocoanut means a great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
country Life. A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stem, with
susplciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
on great nut, which he tossed to
the ground: l examined it with Gu
rlos1ty, for it was little enough like
the cocoanut of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,

to noat easily, the big seed is always
ready for sea voyage. Cast ashore
on a sandy beach, it quickly germin-
ates and holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing to it's estate of beauty
and fruftfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics.
hestful as were the isolated cocoa
palms, it was not until l came upon
a real grove of them that l could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach," fringed by
the great palms, hanging full of heavy
nuts, with liberty to wander where
the sandy ground-it was winter,
mind you!-was covered, not with
1allen leaves of oak and beech, but
with great fronds eight or ten feet
long dropped from the clean-stemmed
giants with feather-duster heads

How Birds Build Nests.

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-
pared road mud. Most of the material
is obtained from the drying puddles
on the high roads. II not mixed with
anything else the tendency OF these
pellets would be to crumble when dry
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
mucous secretion which enables it
to gum these particles together. The
swallows nests, from which the Chi
nese birds nest soup" is made, are
constructed Of this mucous matter
only. An Indian swallow which builds
little boat-shaped nests against the
trunks of lofty trees practically
makes them of dried saliva.

Warships Without Ornamentatio

Warships Without Ornamentation.
Since the order has gone forth that
battleships and cruisers shall have no
characterization whatever, except what
conforms to the plans of the naval
architect, one of their original feat
ures has disappeared almost entirely.
This is the figurehead, upon which
large sums of money were spent to
make them an attractive and appro-
pirate decoration. In England even
headpieces, which we're created be
fore, this new rule went into effect,
are not permitted to ornament ship's
prows In their pristine glory and sen
timent. / .
