CHANCES IN BIRDS, HAHIra.

With New Conditions Come Adapta-
lions Dictated by Reason.
Among the familiar examples Of the
changes in the habits Of birds which
have resulted from association with
mankind are those Of the chimney
swift, or popularity named chimney
swallow" which formerly nested In the
hollows Of trees and now In all settled
regions using the chimneys Of the
houses, and the barn and cave swal-
lows, the former originally nesting In
caves and now building on the beams
and rafters OF barns, and the latter,
once a cliff-dweller, now attaching Its
curious mud tenement under the shell
ter Of the caves Of barns and DWELL
ings.
In a series Of interesting notes In
, the AUX on the changes in the habits Of
birds George F.. Breninger records hav-
Ing observed In Mexico the old and the
new way Of swallow nesting. In the
ancient town Of Tuxpan he found nu-
merous instances OF barn swallows
nesting In the living rooms, and In the
unsettled portions of the State of Chi
huahua, 100 miles back from the rail-
road on one Of the large haciendas-
region devoid of the time-honored
adobes-barn swallows still nestled on
the rocks.
Mr.. Breninger notes other changes In
the nesting habits due to the removal
Of large timber. There is, for exam
pie, the Lucy's warbler, which normal
ly nests In natural cavities in the
trunks of trees, most commonly In the
mesquite, but in the vicinity of Tucson,
where the larger trees have been cut
away, the warblers have in some In
stances had recourse to rebuilding their
nests In the abandoned nests Of other
species, and, most curious of all, among
the small limbs of mesquite tree.
In timbered countries the fiickers cut
holes in the trunks Of trees for their
nests. In some sections, where the
large trees have been removed and the
sites, they have taken to the telegraph
poles. Along the railroad between
Benson and Bisbee, Ariz.," writes Mr..
Brenlnger, "the telegraph poles and
fence posts show evidence of the work
Of wOodpeckers, all by the Texan wood
pecker. Throughout this region trees
are few and the woodpeckers are forced
to use anything that is dead and large
enough to permit of a nesting cavity
being excavated in it. Dead stalks of
the century plant are often used. About
Phoenix, Ariz., this woodpecker is COM
mon. Timber to their needs is still In
abundance and the poles along the rail-
roads and elsewhere are untouched. In
some parts of Mexico the work Of wood
peckers on telegraph poles has reached
the stage of a nuisance and source
Of much outlay of money to keep the
line in repair. Over a piece Of road
running between San Luis Potosi and
Tampico the nuisance has become SO
great that the management threatened
to dip the poles in a solution Of creo-

Inniatent PoIitenens.

Good-tempered, kind-hearted, and
liked even by the Russians, Is the de-
scription which the author of with
Russian, japanese and Chunchuse" ap-
plies to the Japanese soldier. He also
gives an illustration Of the determine
ton of the japanese, even when the
object Is courtesy
When, after the Battle of Tashihchia
the Russian garrison evacuated
Niuchwang by order of General Kuro-
patkln, the Japanese were not long in
taking command Of the place. Two
scouts were the first to enter the town.
They rode straight to the civil admin
lstration buildings. There, In one of
the smaller rooms, they came upon a
Russian soldier who had managed to
get left behind his brothers-in-arlas
He slowly rose from behind some fur
niture and faced his captors. They
smiled amiably at him, and, treasured
he pulled off his cap and commenced to
fan himself with 1t.
Now it Is a common custom for the
Japanese soldier, in war and peace, to
carry about with him in the hot wealth
er small fan. On this occasion a fan
was forthcoming, and handed to the
Russian.
He refused to take 1t, preferrIng to
use the cap.
Still with an amiable smile on his
face, one Of the japanese, a short man
with abnormally broad shoulders, again
proffered the rejected fan with the left
hand. at the same time covering him
with a revolver.
The captive took tho gift without
further reluctance and famed himself
with vigor. 1t cooled him far more
than the cap.

VIII Row TIL Judgment Day

There is a shivery, shaky legend
among the people who live along the
Hudson River which is to the effect
that that stream is the everlasting boat

back in colonial times Ramhout and
his friends were drinking until late at
night. Finally this man Ramhout start
ed for home, some distance up the river,
In his boat, swearing that he would
row the distance if it took "a month of
Sundays" Ramhout never reached
home, and the superstitious people say
that he has been condemned to row IN

Facts About Erie Canal.

Some taxpayers still associate the
Erie canal with a mule, These erring
citizens forget the steam consort, says
Leslie's Weekly. 1t was by steam
consort standard, upon which the
people of New York State two years
ago based their vote sanctioning the
expenditure Of $1O1 100000 for an i'm
proved Erie canal, a practically new
canal, known officially as the Erie 100
Ton Barge canal.
What does $101, 100000 mean? 1t
means that the new Erie canal Is to
be the most costly artificial waterway
in the world. 1t means that the Erie
canal is to cost S1,000,000 more than
the one at SueZ. 1t means that the
Erie canal is to cost twenty-five times
as much as the Soo-the greatest ship
canal on earth in point of tonnage. 1t
means hat the Erie canal Is to cost
more than the Manchester ship canal.
which. cost a tritle of $75000,000. 1t

Barge canal is to cost even more than
the worlds most colossal engineering
feat-the Panama canal. 1t means
that $52,O00,000 spent in the past and
$9,00O000 spent in the last decade
must be added to the $101 100000, and
hence, that the new Erie canal, when
