SO they concluded that it first built a

But observation of the real habits of

and erroneous idea.

The murre of Alaska lays a single

made quite an industry of exporting
the eggs, and shiploads of them are
yearly sent to San Francisco
But all birds are not energetic
enough to build their own nests. Some
are naturally lazy and steal nests
The English cuckoo and the cowbird
are well known thieves of this style
and 1T is not an uncommon thing for
them to lay their eggs in a neiRhbor's
nest and also allow the neighbor to
bear the responsibility of rearing their
young. Nothing is quite SO pathetic a

other birds while engaged in construct

flies from tree to tree until at length,
having found a suitable repository for
her egg, she waits for a proper oppor-
tunity and then drops 1t and returns
