The Color of Eucs.

MIR, A. H. Norwood of the Leicester
tEngland) museum, remarks that the
colors Of birds eggs can in large
number of cases be traced to the ne
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees, or in dark
situations, like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs of an oil
tve-green- or brown ground color. The
eggs of grouse, ptarmigan and so forth
resemble the heather among which
they are laid. Those of the ringed
plover. little tern and oyster catcher
resemble the sand and shingle of the
beach. The lapwing's eggs closely
simulate bare soil or dried bents. The
young chicks show similar protective"
colors.-Youths Companion.

Movements Shaping Art.

There are at present two definite
movements which are clearly shaping
the course of American art One Is
the movement OF expansion, which has
fostered the creation of many differ.
emit and widely distributed centers of
interest; the other is the tendency to
concentrate official activity in a single
typical spot. Owing to the callous-
ness of New York, the retrospective
habits of Boston, the avowed interna-
tionalism of Pittsburg and the fact
that Philadelphia has always had a
special mission to fulfil. these cities
must in time give place to some more
logical focal point, nor is it a very
difficult matter to designate that par
ticular locality.-Century.

American Women Adap.abIe.

1t is said that an American woman
hardly passes her first season in Lon

politics. two subjects of which she Is
comparatively ignorant in the United
States. This is due to her adaptabip.

she naturally seeks to become pro

elanketinu the Auto.

This is the season of the year when
the automobiles that are standing any
length of time in the open air have
blankets put over the bonnets in order
to keep the wind out. When it gets
very cold it is hard to keep the water
system in proper circulation If too
much cold air is allowed to blow d.
rectly on the engine. Therefore the
radiator and the bonnet are covered
over and the machine is kept comfort

Consul General William H. Michael
of Calcutta reports that a scheme has
been set on foot to regulate the Indian
pearl market and to prevent a repe-
tition of the disastrous experience OF
last year, on account of the money
crisis in the United States. An agency
is to be formed in India with several
branches, and head office at Bombay,
to collect pearls and to dispatch them
TO The London market at a fixed price,
but subject to offers. Against these
parcels a small advance will be given
in Rombay, while the price is being
cabled for to London, The promoters
of the scheme say that there is great
future in store for the Indian pearl in
dustry if it can be properly handled.
The syndicate intends to extend its
operations to the Australian fisheries.
