 lowed the whip-poor- will notes so loud
 and fast that 1t seemed the bird must stop for lack of breath. 1t sings more commonly In the evening and at dawn, but also at any time on bright nights.
 The food of the bird consists entire .ly of insects which it captures a-wing in the nocturnal shades of woodland pasture. or else, taking station on some branch or fence, 1t sallies after pass. ing insect roamers. Though appar- entiy almost without bill. it has tremendous mouth well adapted 10 in- sect-catchins. Indeed. the head is fairly cleft from ear to ear. permit ting an amazing gape. while the long. stlff bristles at the base ofsthe bill serve to guide prey into the hungry nav. How capacious the mouth Is may be judged from the fact that 1t is able to swallow even large flying moths tail first. crumpling up the wings as they proceed downward into the lower regions. The amount of in- scots eaten by the whip-poor-wilI is very large, and 1t is therefore a most useful bird, deserving every encourage ment and protection. Fortunately 1t is pretty well able. because of It's re- tiring habits, to protect itself.

The public seems suddenly to have awak- ened to the fact that King Edward is now well advanced In years and that he is not at all likely to live to the ripe old age attained by his mother. At the same time there has come a desire to learn more about the future King. now the Perinc of Wales.
