BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Clever Birds.
From London Tit-Bits

Among the feathered tribe the bower
bird of Australia easily takes the record
for versatility, being at once gardener,
architect and artist. For it not only con-
structs a neat, tunnel-like bower, framed
like Gothic arch, but can lay out a
garden, discriminatory picking the orchid
blossoms and arranging them into pretty
patterns with impeccable taste.
For gay coloring the pitta doncinna of
Borneo and Sumatra takes the lead, its
feathers being every color of the rainbow.
The bird of paradise runs it close, and is
in addition a dainty dancer. One species
of this digs a hole a foot in diameter.
over which it places crossed sticks (as
for Scottish sword dance). and strews
leaves and rubbish over them, thus FORM
ing floor, on which it dances pas seul
But the jacana and ypecaha. both species
of the rail. can go one better. for besides
being splendid little dancers. they pro-
vide their own music the while.
The worlds record parrot is owned by
Baron Alfred de Rothschild. and he paid
for it record sum. She sings with ef-
feet quite "a number of songs in a voice
like banjo's twang; she speaks 2OU
words Of German. can answer reasonable
queries. snartly rebukes those who ask
silly ones. and Is careful to remind her
interlocutors that her full title is Laura

The late Prince Whan Of Korea always
carried with him on his travels an enor-
NOUS white parrot with rose-colored lin
ing on its wings, and with priceless sap
phires set on each side of its perforated
beak.
bird which takes a lot Of beating,
however. is the falcon, which took a mes
sage from Teneriffe to Andalusia, $50
miles. in sixteen hours.

The fact that the celebrated American

was "H-gh Wynne, Free Quaker" which
deals with the period Of the revolution.

LIGHTHOUSE FOR MOTORISTS.
British Device for Reducing Danger
of Crossing Collisions.
From Tit-Bits.

from 1lt-b1ts
An examination of the list of motor ac-
cidents of the last two or three years re-
veals the fact that there is a growing
number due to cars colliding at crossings
where roads meet at right angles And
they arise, not so much from negligence
on the part of drivers. but because one or
both rely on what is termed the theory
OF proba bilities.
Doubtless many readers have noticed
that car approaching cross-road sell
dom slows down. although it gives due
notice of its approach with the hooter.
The speed at which such crossroads are
taken can only be accounted for. accord
ing to an expert, by the Willingness
to take a sporting chance of there being
no car on the crossroad in a position to
bring about any risk of danger-a re-
lance. in fact. on the ''proba bilities" of
the case
With the present number of cars on the
road it is obvious that in the neishbor-
tremely unlikely that there will he two
cars so Systematically situated. in re
spect Of speed and distance from the
crossing point as TO bring about COL
lision il no exceptional care is taken.
This improbahility is at the present day
acted upon by quite Il large number OF
drivers to an extraordinary extent
1t is pointed out. however. that the
uu1flDer OIL cars Is rising SIeaullN. Anu
there is very rapidly increasing output
of motor cycles and cycle cars. Unless
therefore. some step be taken in the near
future. either by decreasing the intrinsic
danger of the crossing of getting all
drivers to approach such places more
cautiously. there is no little likelihood
that the theory of probabilities may not
prove to be the safeguard it is expected
to be.
Dangerous cross roads are sometimes
protected by policemen by road guides
of one sort or another, but these protect
only A fraction of such dangerous spots
