THE JAPANESE NIGHTINGA ALE.
Some japanese nightingales were
released in St. James park, London,
the other day. They Immediately
made themselves at home. says the
London Express, and settled down to
the new life by taking vigorous
bath in the lake.
The Japanese nightingale is not
nightingale. nor does it come from
Japan, but this is the name given to
the bird by dealers. who find the
higher sounding title better than the
palmer alternative of "Pekin robin"
II has been a favorite with bird
Keepers ever since its first importa-
uon, and is now exceedingly cheap;
the first pair brought from China, not
so very many years ago, cost G10-.
now this sum would buy few hun
dred.
The Japanese nightingale is, per-
haps, tine most charming little bird
in existence. He is more beautifully
colored than most small birds. being
olive green above. with orange Dor
dered wings, and tinted on the throat
and breast with the most exquisite
shading of primrose yellow and glow
ing orange. His eyes are, If any
thing, darker and more lustrous than
our own robins, and his bill is as
red as coral
Moralists have sloated over the
presumed incapacity of beautiful
birds ts sing but the japanese night
ingale is one of the exceptions to the
rule. His song is as sweet as the
English backcaps, sometime as
short. loud, mellow and insistent as
one of the blackbird's strophes. and,
again long low and tender He is.
too, as affectionate as a love bird with
his own kind and friendly to other
birds-even London sparrows.
SIZE OF THE ATLANTIC WAVES.
The size of the Atlantic waves
has been carefully measured for the
Washington photographic Bureau.
In height the waves usually average
about thirty feet, but in rough
weather they attain from forty to
forty-eight feet. In storms they are
often from 500 to 600 feet long. and
last ten or eleven seconds. while the
longest yet known measured half
mile and did not spend itself for
twenty-tnree seconds.

bases and stems may be made OF glass,
but as the device is intended primarily
for drinking glasses the more durable
metal supports are preferable. Each
interchangeable bowl is provided at Its
bottom with depending necked annu-'
lar projection adapted to engage with
spring fingers on the base. Such de-
vice economies the quantity of glass
ware that has to be provided, and yet
lends itself readily to much desired
changes in capacity.
