1t is only within recent years that
men have learned how to make houses
and other structures of cement. This
art Is probably yet In the crude stage,
and by the by mankind may learn to
use the material in vastly more skill
full and efficient ways.
But many of the lower animals have
for ages been making their houses OF
mud or OF similar plastic and harden
ing substances. The cliff swallows
skillfully built home is indeed 4 won
derful structure, especially when we
take into consideration the simple way
in which the bird does the work.
Imagine boy or a girl trying to make
such structure Of mud and handling
the material only by the aid of poinr-
ed pliers. Yet the bird does 1t and
does 1t well with her pointed bill. In
some cement structures. especially in
railroad embankments. you have prob
ably noticed that the workmen first
put in ceveral iron rods to increa SO
the strength of the wall. This is,
practically. what the phoebe, the robin
and other birds do when they mix a
liberal supply OF grasses and other
plant fbers, and even strings, through
their concretions OF mud.
