A SAFETY ENVELOPE.

Ingenious Device for Double Locking
Letter.
A. new envelope made in Paris is
proof against the thief or the med
der who opens a letter to extract or
to read it's contents and then reseals
it SO cleverly as to hide any sign IF
it having been lamp cred with.
The new envelope is really two en-
velopes. Each is Of thin paper, one
a pronounced blue, the other lighter
in color and different in texture. Each
has a gummed flap.
The letter is first placed in the blue
envelope, which is slightly smaller
than the other. Instead of sealing
this it is placed in the outer envelope
and the inner map brought outside
and gummed down on to the larger
envelope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. 1t
is much larger than the inner flap
and reaches down to good sized star
shaped opening which shows through
to the inner envelope, SO that when
the outer flap is sealed it sticks not
only to the outer envelope but also
through this opening to the inner one.
The letter is thus practically locked
and double locked.

dates back to 1860. FitzRoy was pos
sessed of an air gun, and one after
noon he took a shot at an adjutant, :
bird which, being an excellent scav-
enger, is protected from injury by a
fine of 100 rupees. Several people
saw the bird fall, but heard no report.
There was, of course, a hubbub and a

tigate the birds death.
AS luck would have it, FitzRoy was
appointed president Of the court, the
finding Of which was duly recorded as
follows: THE court, having carefully
investigated all the evidence brought
before it, have come to the conclusion
that the bird died of sunstroke.-

CUCKOO AM 3IRr-' NESTS.

Destroyed Hedge Spar rs Egg and
Left Own in Its rIsce.
On the afternoon of lay % |, by
chance, discovered in a hedge near
where / was at work in my garden a
hedge sparrow's nest containing three
eggs. For couple of hours or so
previous to this find / had noticed
the appearance and temperance of
a cuckoo in the same corner of the
garden.
On finding the nest it at once struck
me that the cuckoo probably had
business to transact at this particu-
lar nest and that I by my near pres
ence was unwittingly preventing its
being carried out. | accordingly re
tired some 100 feet di1tant and sat
down with a pair of opera glasses to
watch events. In a few minutes the
cuckoo was back and in the nest.
On emerging at the end Of about
minute it perched short distance
from the nest, with one of the hedge
sparrow's eggs in it's beak. This it
proceeded to break up and, I think,
eat. Shortly afterward 1t flew away
On going to the nest 1 found there
the cuckoo's egg and tie two remain
ing sparrow's eggs. / also picked up
the broken shell Of the third spar
rows egg.
The following points are of inter
est: The nest was apparently known
to the cuckoo before it's visit on this
particular afternoon. It's attempts 70
reach it, though frustrated, were pa
tiently repeated until successful. The
egg was laid in the nest and was not
carried there in the birds beak. 1t
distracted and destroyed one egg
from the nest. The nest is in the
midst of many gardens and houses.
Why should it be selected in prefer
ence to tn emore numerous and more
easily accessible nests in the open
country so near at hand?
