Sea Birds Have Scheme That Does
AWAY With Nests

w. L. Finley. the new naturalist
photographer, writes in the Country
Calendar of his experience on Three
Arch Rocks. of the Oregon coast, as
follows:
by far the commonest birds, on
the rocks are the California INJURIES.
They nest up and down the sides Of
the cliff, wherever the ragged rock
furnishes q footing. There is not the
least sign Of nest, but the single
egg is deposited wherever there is a
niche to keep it from dropping into
the sea. The peculiar top shape Of
the murre's egg is a unique device
to keep it from rolling. The practical
value of this can be seen every. day
on the sloping edges. We tried sew
eral experiments with these eggs. and
found they were OF such taper that not
one rolled over the edge. When they
were started down grade. they did
not roll straight, but swung around
like top and came to standstill
four or five inches down. The eggs
were tough shelled, and a sharp push
sent one only about nine inches be-
fore 1t whirled around on Its vertical
