DR.. Francis II. Herrick says spar
row will pluck hOrsehair from the
mouth of a nesting, while another bird.
like an Oriole, will stand by and see
its mate hang until dead without at
tempting to release 1t.
A robin will tug at string which
has caught on limb. but is never seen
fully to meet the situation by releasing
the string. 1t will make several turns
of cord about limb and leave the
other end free without any relation to
the nest. so that its effort is useless.
1t ties no knots.
The gull, according TO abundant and
competent testimony, will carry shell
fish to a considerable height, drop them
on the rocks or hard ground and repeat
the experiment until 1t gets the soft
meat.-Chicago Tribune.

The Voice OF Fame.

An American author Of some note
was passing a summer in New Hamp-
shire. One day he received word that
a distinguished Englshman was visit
ing in the country town and would like
to call upon the author, Of whom, he
added in his note requesting an audi
ence, he had heard.
Somewhat fattered, the author won
dered to himself who had spoken to
the distinguished Englishman about
him.
Some oxford dignitary doubtless, "
he reflected. pleasantly, cor possibly
some London publisher or critic and
he awaited the strangers arrival with
interest.

been spoken. "Well. that is odd. Might

fected, and bids fair to displace the

operated equally well from below.
When the vessel is ahoat, it is possible
to walk on the convex top with the
aid of steel handrals which extend
fore and aft on each side of the turret.
The vessel Is caused to sink by open
ing three sea-cocks and thus filling as
many water ballast tanks. Two Of
these tanks, placed amidship in the
bilge. to port and starboard. have a
combined capacity Of 154 gallons of sea
water, the weight Of which balances
most Of the buoyancy and brings the
top of the boat nearly awash These
two tanks are to be kept filed. as a
rule, but they can be emptied by means
of a hand pump. The third tank. which
