most unusual position. I climbed to the nest
and was much astonished at the contents. In
it were four miniature crows eggs, very little
larger than blackbird's eggs, and in shape
almost round. On blowing them I found the
shells were abnormally thick and tough for
the size of the -egg and. they contained no
yolk Knowing that crows invariably remain
in the same locality year after year, the fol.

again and to my great delight found the nest
in a very similar position in another oak tree
within 80 yards of the first nest. It contained
five eggs, four exact counterparts Of the first
clutch and one Of normal size, the only one
to contain any yolk. The following season
I found them for the third time again suite

were four eggs only one small one and three

sits the capitol of Illinois. They
could see the big flag high upon the
dome standing out in the prairie wind,
and the little flags on the house wing

Now and then they heard cheers
from the house wing, where the legis-
lative riot that ends a session was al
ready beginning. They passed into
the dark and cool corridors of the
state house, then up to the third
floor, where members and messenger

rushed always across from one house
to the other, swinging hurriedly
