LONDON. April ~. Hail Cainc, the
famous English novelist has written
the following hymn for the newspa-
pcrs of the International News Ser
vice in Europe aud America. under the
title:
HYMN FOR SURVIVORS OF THE
TITANIC.
To Tune Of God. Our Help in Ages
Past"
Lord Of the everlasting hills,
God of the boundless sea,
Help us through all the shocks OF fate,
To keep our trust in thee.
II.
When Natures unrelenting arm
Sweeps us like withes away,
Maker of man, be thou our strength
And our eternal stay.
III.
When blind insensate, heartless force,
Puts out our passing breath,
Make us to see thy guiding light,
In darkness and in death.
"
Beneath the roll of soundless waves
Our best and bravest lie;
Give us to feel their spirits live
Immortal in the sky.
V.
We are thy children, frail and small,
Formed of the lowly sod;
Comfort our bruised and bleeding souls,
/ Father and Lord and God.

All of her birds, she says, had a de-
cided individuality and one daintily
took it's bath every morning from a
gladiola blossom. Outdoors you will
find these birds bathing on the dew
drops on the leaves" she said.
The manner in which Miss Dolbear
enticed these three birds to walk into
her parlor sounds almost like fairy
tale. Noticing a bird flying about
among the flowers, she put bottle
of sweet water in the garden, with a
nasturtium serving as a stopper for
the bottle. In a short time the bird
discovered the sweet feast, and sunk
its bill deep down in the blossom into
the bottle. Then Miss Dolbear began
to gradually tear off the petals of the
blossom, until the day arrived when
the bottle was left without its flower
stopper. But the humming bird had
learned by this time that sweetened
water was in the bottle and went un
hesitatingiy to it for its drink Then
the bottle was removed to a window
sill, and the bird followed it there.
AT last the bottle was brought in
side the room and the bird came in
and became a captive. The process is
called tanning by the bottle habit"
In connection with this bottle habit
Miss DOlbear conducted a little ex
pertinent as much for her own pleas
ure as for any scientific value it
might possess.
She put four bottles on the window
sill, each with a different kind o.
sweetened water. The bird tried then
all, decided he liked the honey water
best, and on all subsequent trips pass.
ed scornfully over the other bottles
until he came to his honey and water
connection.
The tremendous strength of the
breast muscles in comparison with its
size is one of the observations which
Miss Dolbear made of her captive
birds, this muscular strength being
needed for the constant flutterinf
which the bird keeps up in order II
maintain its balance when sippine
honey from a flower.
This futtering, by the way, is KEEP
up at such a speed that at present
there is no camera quick enough tC
catch it, so humming bird pictures
taken when the bird is poised over &
flower are invariably blurred and in
distinct.
The difficulties which Miss Dqlbeal
will meet in catching her birds this
summer are many. They are so frag.
lie that she dares not commission
any one to snare them for her, fol
fear the tiny bird will be crushed by
a clumsily managed net
'And the birds are far too scarce,
she says, "for single little life even
} to be sacrificed"
The ruby-throated species is the
only kind east of the Mississippi, al
though there are about 500 kinds OF
this continent. There are none at al
in the other continent.
High winds, sudden cold wave, Of
sharp rainstorm is often fatal t.
the little birds, and these things &C
count somewhat for their rarity. Blu
commercial purposes are also exter
minating them, for in South Amer

gay picture cards, and in Mexico the,
