swallows nests from the window stills and
had them placed in the collection of the
Natural History Museum at Rouen.
Forty years later he sought for similar
nests and was astonished to find that
the newly collected nests showed a real
change in their form and arrangement.
These nests were from a new quarter
Of the city and showed a mixture of the
old and new types. OF the forms de-
scribed by naturalists OF earlier periods
he found no trace. For Poudrat the new
type of construction marked a distinct
advance. Tie. new nests were better
adapted to the needs of the young brood
and protected them better from their
enemies and from cold or inclcment
weather.
In Cuba there are nests made altogether
OF palm tfbers. marvelously INTERVIEWED
and attached close to the tufts of the
palms Or under the clusters of bananas
or mangoes. This nest Is built both by
the male and female bird. They per-
forate the small leaves OF the palm and
pass threads through the holes SO as to
form a species of rope, by which the nest
is suspended. 1t has been said that an
old bird and young bird build the nest
togethe-. This shows the existence of a
kind of apprenticeship, which constitutes
an additional argument against the theory
that blind instinct anmates the birds in
building their nests.

EVOLUTION IN NESTS.
Birds Make Changes According ia
Circumstances.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The evolution of birds nests begins with
those birds that do not build any nests
but simply deposit their eggs In the bare
gound. Then come those which make
rudimentary preparations for the recep-
ton of their eggs. and finally those which
construct nests so remarkable as to rival
the products of the weaver's art.
In these the work of construction re
quires superlative activity and persever-
ance. The beak and claws are Used as
reritable tools. The nests are designed
not only to provide shelter for the young,
as birds sometimes build them for mere
recreation and also as labitations during
the winter season.
In Australia the Chlamydera nnacIlata
have pleasure nests. They frequent the
brush which surrounds the plains and
construct their nests with amazing skill
supporting the framework by q founda-
ton OF stones. and transporting from the
banks of streams and water courses at
considerable distance the numerous
ornamental objects which they dispose at
the entrance OF tho nests. There Is no
doubt in the mind of Prof Aristides
Mestre that birds modify and improve
their nests both to form and material
when circumstances have arisen which
require such a change.
Many years ago Poudrat gathered

ANIMALS wANToN KILLING.
Useless Slaughter by Wolves-Birds
That Kill.
encc Forest and Stream.

Correspondence Forest and Stream.
While usually our carniverous animals
kill to supply their immediate wants. still
there are some species which often kill
for mere sport and there are few kinds of
which some individuals do not at some
time kill wantonly.
When I was a boy and there were
wolves In Maine l have known four or
five wolves to kill over forty sheep in
single night in a town near here.
My father once saw thirteen fully
grown sheep which two wildcats had
killed in one night on Mount Desert
Island. l know of several cases where
wildcats have entered barns and outbuild-
ings and killed numbers of hens or ducks.
Racoons often kiln hens which they CAN
not carry off. 1 know OF many cases
of foxes killing many hens or turkeys
which they could not eat. I once saw
the skin of mink which loup-cervier
had killed The person who had 1T said
that there was light snow, so he could
see every motion. The loup-cervier had
apparently met the mink by accident on
the ice. He had bitten 1t through the
back. dropped it and walked on.
I once saw loup-cervier trapped which
had killed several lambs. Red squirrels
will kill more young birds than they can
eat. l have known otter to pile up
large lot of suckers which he must
have caught just for sport. Lately a
mink got into a bait tank near here and
killed nearly all the live bats. The owner
estimated that there were several
thousands. House cats often kill birds
which they do not eat; they also often
bring in nOles frogs and snakes which
they kill for the fun of killing. l have
no doubt that sable and fisher would kill
poultry just as mink and racoon do if
they had the same opportunity.
Some birds also kill Tor sport. All or
nithologists know of shrikes hanging up
birds and mice which they do not need.
have several times seen sheldrakes kill
scores of small fish just for fun. They bit
them. dropped them and passed along. I
have seen eight or ten Sheldrakes doing
this at a time. Goshawks. kill for sport
have known Soshawk in one morning
to kill five ruffed grouse and leave them
after tearing them in pieces. Last winter
a goshawk was given me which had just
killed two large Plymouth rock hens.
1t seems as If many animals and birds
take as much pleasure in killing things
for mere sport as many of our sportsmen
and fishermen do.

A ST. Petersburg paper publishes de-
tails of Russian romance in which fig

Baroness Urusoff. the widow of dis
tinguished Russian government official
All the young cavaliers of I.oscow were
hOpelessly in love with her. The baroness
however. rejected all attempts to obtain
an Introduction TO her and lived in perfect
seclusion. attended only by an elderly
relative. Some months ago a young
peasant girl began TO visit the residence
OF the baroness. offering her servants
cheap articles for sale. Subsequently the
ba roness used to buy different articles
from the peasant who was intelligent.
had good manners and considerable con.
versational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the girl
whether she would enter her service as a
ladys maid. She agreed and discharged
her duties TO perfection for fortnight
and then revealed herself as a young
Russian noblenan named Maximoff, who.
taking advantage of his fair hair and
compile xion. had masqueraded as a
domestic servant 10 break down the bar
riers with which the beautiful Young
baroness had surrounded herself
The baroness was SO much impressed
by his extraordinary perseverance that
she became engaged 10 him. and the
marriage took place few days ago.

Erom Tue ScIeutlNC AUierICdH
novel method of identifying criminals
with absolute certainty has been devised
by Prof. Tamassia. When comparing the
veins on the back of both hands a strik-
ing diversity will be observed. Far more
important. however. are the differences
noted in the hands of different persons
In order to cause the veins to stand out
more distinctly the wrist should be
bandaged for short time. Their courses
can then be Photographed.
Owing to the size of the hand it is far
easier to discover slight dversities than
in minute prints of finger tips. Nor can
any voluntary alteration of the vein It's
sues be feared. unless the hand should
be seriously injured.
