HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They often Have Battles With Bee.
For the Sweet Booty.

They Often Have Battles With Bees
For the Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is a
craving of nature in all living crea-
lures, and birds will sometimes run
great risks to satisfy 1t. Bears in
their eagerness to get at the honey
In a hollow tree will sometimes
wedge themselves into so small a
hole as to endanger their lives, and
many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger of being stung to
death in their endeavQrs to obtain
the sweet honey that the bees store
In the hollow trunks of trees. Some
times they viii attack bees on the
wing and snap them up for the tiny
speck of nectar contained In their
sacks. Blue jays often take a posi-
ton near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not deyoured, for birds
viii kill the bee only that they may
sip up the honey. Unless driven
away a few such bird robbers would
soon depopulate hive.
Occasionally the bees organize
and fight the birds. They issue In
body from the hive and make bold
attack upon the assassins. In the
quick, sharp conflict that follows
the. birds invariably get defeated.
Indeed they do not attempt to resist
the onslaught, but seek safety in
flight. If the bees surround one of
the birds quickly enough, there is
little hope for the robber. They
settle down upon him and sting him
to death. He may fly away, but the
bees cling to his back and sides
tenaciously. His fight soon be-
comes less energetic and more and
more uncertain until at last he drops
to the earth and gasps out his life
among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to
their home.
In the wild forests the honey low
ing birds sometimes make an organ
lied attempt to drive the bees away
from their home in the hollow trunk
of q tree. They first discover the
place OF the hidden treasure by fol-
lowing the bees on a warm, sunny
day, and if there be an opening in
the tree large enough to admit them
they plunge down the hole in a
body.
Then there follows sharp con-
fict inside the tree, the birds snap
ping at the bees and cutting them
in two at each snap. The only
chance for the bees is to light on
the backs and sides of the birds.
IF they fail to do this, they are soon
routed, and the rich treasures of
sweets are captured by the enemies.
These battles terminate in various
ways, sometimes the bees and some
times the birds coming out victo-
rious.-0ur Animal Friends.

Curious Cries With Which They Warn
Passing Pedestrians.
All over the orient the footman
has no rights. At Constantinople
he seems to be more brutally treated
than elsewhere. There the drivers
seem to try to run him down with
out warning. But in Cairo they
have series of curious cries with
which they warn a footman. They
specify the particular part of his
anatomy which is in danger thus:
Look out for thy left shin, o

"Boy, have g care for the little
toe on thy right foot!"

King Milan of Servia once went

king. Twenty-four lois, SIRE" was

the schoolhouse. 1 had nothing to
offer the men for their work, but
announced a rehearsal to which
they were invited to remain. The
prisoners listened to the singing and
playing, and finally one young fax

be allowed to play. The poor fell

sets up its tail stiff, like a ruler, SO
