BIRDS WORK TOGETHER.
.~N~NNN~~N

Turnstone is the name Of a variety
Of shore birds that are allied to the
plovers and the sandplpers. This name
has been given to them because Of their
singular manner Of feeding. With their
strong bills they turn over the small
stones lying in the sand of the beaches
to find the insects that may be shell
tered underneath. If the stone is too
heavy for the bill, they push it over
by applying the breast to the upper
side. A Scotch naturalist tells how a
number of these birds worked together
to turn over a fish which was too heavy
for one alone to move.
Passing along the seashore, he says, 1
observed on the sands, at a considerable
distance before me, two birds beside a
large object. Knowing by their ap-
pearance that they did not belong to
the species which are usually met with
in this quarter, 1 left the beach and
proceeded along the sand, an eminence
Of single intervening, until conclud-
ed that was almost opposite the spot
At last / came in sight of the two
little workers, which were busily en-
deayoring to turn over a dead fish that
was fully six times their size. Not
wishing to disturb them, and anxious at
the same time to witness their opera
tions. I observed that a few PAGES near
pr them there was a deep hollow among
the single, into which I contrived to
creep unobserved.
Having got fairly settled down In my
pebbly observatory, l turned my I'M
divided attention to the birds before
me. They were boldly pushing at the
fish with their bills and then with their
breasts. Their endeavors, however,
were in vain the object remained inn
movable.
On this they both went round to the
opposite side and began to scrape
away the sand from beneath the fish.
After removing a considerable quaint
~. they again came back to the spot
which they had left, and went once
more at work with their bills and
breasts, but with as little apparent sue
cess as before. Nothing daunted, how
ever. they raa round a second time tC
the other side, and recommended their
trenching operations with a seeming
determination not to be baffled in theil
object, which evidently was to under

A Welsh Wedding.

In writing Of Welsh scenery and Gus

notice many characteristics of social
life that are as strongly marked as are

primitive Wales than is the one men.

tected by the first rows and the dis
lance, were not destroyed, though bad
" damaged. Though the branches of
the sixth row were many Of them
scOrched and unable to resist the heat
the remainder Of them subsequently
exhibited a strange phenomenon. A
second Towering began at the end of
September, and in October all the
branches Of the trees, except those
which had been scorched, were covered
with blossoms. They appeared as they
would in the month of May, those be-
ing most heavily laden with blossoms
which had been most exposed to the
heat. Some lilac bushes and plum
trees In another direction near which
the fire had stopped Powered again, the
Iilacs especially being covered with
blossoms.
The fire had lasted only four hours,
so that it did not at all resemble ordi-
nary forcing. All the species which
blossOmed were those whose buds for
the following year are formed in the
month Of August. From the facts
which were gathered from an eyeWit-
ness 1t would seem that it is possible
to produce second Towering from the
action Of a momentary but strong heat.
Whether this eXerts a local influence, "a
certain dessication of the organs of the
trees, is an interesting problem. It
may be possible, for it has been prov
en- that a previous dessication is nee
essary for forcing, just as It IS for the
parthenogenetic development Of the egg
Of certain birds. At any rate, this phe-
nomenon ought to suggest a starting
point for experiments which might be
valuable IN the forcing Of plants and
trees.

order that it might be the. more easily
overturned.
While they were thus employed, and
after they had labored in this manner
at both sides alternately for nearly half
an hour, they were joined by another
Of their own species, which came fly
ing with rapidly from the neighbor-
ing rocks. It's timely arrival was hail
ed with evident signs of joy. 1 was
led to this conclusion from the gestures
which they made, and from a low but
pleasant murmuring uoise to which
they gave, utterance as soon as the
newcomer made his appearance. OF
their feelings he seemed to be perfect
ly aware, and he made his reply to
them in a similar strain.
Their mutual congratulations being
over, they all three set to work, and
after laboring vigorously for a few
minutes in removing the sand, they
came round to the other side, and put
ting their breasts to the fish, succeed
ed in raising it some inches from the
sand, but were unable to turn it over.
1t went down again into it's sandy bed,
to their manifest disappointment.
Resting, however, for a space, and
without leaving their respective posi-
lions, which were a little apart the
one from the other, they resolved, II
appeared, to give the work another
trial Lowering themselves, with their
breasts close to the sand, they man
aged to push their bills underneath the
fish, which they made to rise about the
same height as before. Afterward
withdrawing their bills, but without
losing the advantage which they had
gained, they applied their breasts tt
the object. This they did with sucI
force and to such purpose that at las
it went over and rolled several yard:
down a slight declivity. 1t was fol
lowed to some distance by the bird:

their bearing.

Annice Graythorne in his arms and
vowed eternal fidelity to her and their
love.
And she would never know.
He told himself this bitterly, yet
with a feeling OF self-satisfaction that
amounted almost to triumph. For it
was no mean thing Che argued to him
self to have fought down that other
and greater love, to have put woman
who was dearer to him out of his life,
to have said good-by to all he held
most precious in the world. And this
he had done-for honor's sake.
The kiss of that other woman was
still thrObbing on his lips; her voice
still echoed in his ears; the beating of
her heart remained insistently on his
own. Every word that had been spok-
