Nests That Weigh Tons.

In Australia are to be found the
largest, heaviest, and most peculiar
nests in the world. These are the
nests of the jungle fowl, so-called,
and are built in the form of great
mounds, the average measurement in
height being Is feet and the cncum-
ference $50 feet. The nests are erect
ed in secluded, sheltered spots; and,
as in the case Of the small nests Of
birds, they are skflfully interviewer
with leaves, grass and tvigs, and such
other suitable material as the fowl
may be able to procure. Az =:

DOC SAVES MASTER FROM Bull:
Faithful Animal, Rushing to the Res

Escondido, Cal. - Tossed high in
the air by . maddened bull, but.
ted with the beasts head, tram.
pied BY its hoofs, R. B. Bor-
den. Z rancher, would have been
crushed to death but for the bravery
and devotion Of his dog. The attack
was 20 sudden and vicious that Dor.
den had no chance to save himself and
almost before he knew it was
caught on the bulls horns and lung
high in the air. Borden struck the
ground with. q. thud and was partly
stunned. Instantly the bull was on
him again, stamping him, with it's
hoofs and butting the man with i, its
head. -
Wholly at the mercy Of the beast,
Borden yelled for help. The dog heard
its master and came running to his as.
sistance. There was a moment of
struggle. in which the bull tried in
vain to reach his new enemy, who
snapped and tore madly. Then the bull
gave up and retired, leaving Borden
hardly able to crawl to his house.
The bull was later shot as being too
dangerous to live, but the dog will
get the best Of everything from now
on, says Borden.
