FREAK IN NEST BUILDING.

Many birds that are shy and re-
firing in other respects, show very
little fear of the creaking and groan-
ing of heavy machinery, or the thun-
derous roar of heavy trains. I re-
call reading some years ago of a pair
of courageous. little sparrows that
started a nest at one end of a large
turn-table in roundhouse. This
turn-table was the same at both ends,
and the birds built two nests--one
on each end, working one day on one
end, and the next day on the other,
as the turn-table was reversed. Here,
in the midst of din and confusion,
they finally selected one of the nests,
and raised happy brood of young.
