Borneo Inviting to N~aturalIsts.

There is no country in the world
more inviting to the naturalist than
Borneo. Here are found the flying
squirrels, flying foxes, flying lizards.
flying frogs. and the natives report
flying snakes. Among the most noted
birds Is the little swift Collocalia Midi
flea. Their nests are eaten by the
Chinese, and are regarded as a great
luxury. These birds build their nests
in limestone cages of a %glutinous sa-
Iva which they produce from their
glands; no sticks or any other foreign
substances are used. The collection
of these nests is an important indus
try with the natives, though they pay
a tax on all they take to market. Tho
value of those exported from British
North Borneo in 1907 was $35,924.
They are served at the great feasts Of
the Chinese, especially at weddings.

You haven't seen much Of me yet,

"Why, you are in real earnest,

No? Too bad! He's a very handsome
old bachelor. And he is one of those
men who get all sorts of men to do
all sorts of things for them. You
know, building and operating railroads
in this part of the country is no joke.
The mountains are filled with men
that don't care for God, man, or the
devil. Sometimes they furnish their
W ammunition to fight with and
don't bother the railroad for years; at
such times the railroad leaves them
alone. For my part, l never quarrel
with a man that doesn't quarrel VIII

they get after us, shooting our men or
robbing gu agents or stopping our
trains. OF course we have to get
busy then. A few years ago they wor-
ried Bucks till they nearly turned his
hair sray. At that unfortunate time
l happened into his office with a letter
