CUNNING NEST BUILDERS.

Humning Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yet They Defy Detection.
Even in those parts of tropical Amer
lea where, as In Colombia, humming
birds are vastly numerous. it is almost
impossible for the most experienced
naturalist to find their nests, In this,
although as a rule they are not hidden
at all, the feathered builders relying
for concealment upon the likeness or
their tiny houses to the surroundings
amid which they are placed. A hum
mer's nest always corresponds exactly
in color with the branch to which 1t Is
attached. It may initiate a knot or
other excrescence. Thus the Calliope
humming bird of the western United
States often builds on dead pine
twig, either upon or near cone OF
similar size and hue.
Usually the nests OF humming birds
are cup shaped or turban shaped, and
their material is always plant down.
| Such down, resembling cotton wool.
but of more delicate fiber, is gathered
| from the stems Of ferns and other
| plants This Is woven together with
spiders webs into a compact mass.
Usually they ornament the outside of
the nest with small feathers or hchens
which they obtain by detaching them
from the rocks where these humble
| plants grow. These they fasten with
cobwebs all over the exterior Of their
| tiny house.
| When these wee architects suspend
their nets from leaves or tendrfls they
are always weighted for stability IL
order that they may not be upset by
| every passing breeze. For this pur
/ pose the bottom is made very thick
/ But the most remarkable expedient Is
that adopted by the hill stars. which
| dwell FAR up near the snow line OF the
i Andes. They weight the tiny suspend
| ed house on the lighter side with q
| pebble to give the proper balance
/ There is no question whatever thai
this is done. and many of the nests Of
such. species preserved in collections
are found to contain pebbles. Rose Z

Money
Associated Press)

Tampa, July There was great
rejoicing among the 355 refugees
brought here from Vera Cruz, Mexico,
on the army transport Summer, when
they were released from the. steamer

ashore and took train for Tampa.
Many left on the night trains for their
homes, or homes of relatives in vari-
GUS parts of the country. The COM

state in the Union.
Many of the refugees had wired to
Tampa and engaged quarters at ho-

UNITED IN MARRIAGE

An unusual wedding took place
about noon today in the Office of Judge
w. E. Smith in the court house, when
James Webster Griffin and Mrs. Geor-
giana Annie Nipper, of Newberry,
were made man and wife. They came
to Ocala this morning, and are guests
at the Ocala House. The bride is
much older than the groom. The Ii
canse does not give their ages, the
Jaws of the county not requiring it,
but the difference in age was marked
enough to attract considerable attene-
ton. The groom appeared in his early
twenties, and the bride was well along
into middle life.

Paterson. N. J.--If there is any sport

SURPRISED AT
RUSSIAN SUCCESS
Immense Amount of MuscOyite Troops
and Supplies Dismay their
Enemies
(Associated Press)

London, July 10.-The Russians
on the eastern front are going from
success to success, and for the time
that theater Of the war is overshad-
owing the western front from the
spectacular viewpoint. Not only had
General Letchitzky in the south oc-
cupied the railroad junction at Della
tyn, west of Kolomen, thus cutting
off General Won Bothmer from his
supply base, but Gen. Brussiloff, IN
the north is making surprising ad-
vances on both sides of the Kove1
railway toward Stokhod river.
Last nights Russian communica-
reports the enemy forces in this region
retiring in great disorder and adds
that the Russians have occupied Hule-
viche, about twenty-four miles to the
east of Kovel, while apparently the
Russians are already across the Stok-
hod river somewhere in the region Of
Janovka.
German possession of Baranovichi
and Kovel are absolutely essential if
she is to retain her hold over the.
invaded parts of Poland and Lithnnia.
but it is considered likely that is only
a matter of few days before the
Russians will be in possession of Kov-
Iel, which would compel General Won
Linsingen's retirement from the Lutsk
salient. German official and unofficial
| dispatches reflect anxiety over the
Russian advance as being greater
than over the Anglo-French often
sive, which the German military crit
les contend will not Interfere with
the operations against Verdun.
Major Moraht and other German
critics express surprise at the extent
and persistence of the Russian Of
fensive and the endless resources of
ammunition.

1.-THE course of the administration
has been to regard itself as, in the ma
ture of the case, trustee, for the
time being, of the rights of neutrals."
When History is Written.
"When the history of this age
comes to be written, the great fortune
of the American people and of the
world will appear to have been that
our destinies were in the hands Of a
man patient, wise and just, who saw
past all the minor annoyances and
through all the cross currents of feel
ing, who resisted every impulse to-
ward impetuous judgment and there
by accomplished these great things:
First, that he saved the lives of count
less Americans who by any other
course would have been devoted to
death in battle; that he preserved the
civilization of the twentieth century
against the last great assault which
would have been made had our coun-
try, too, been swept into the general
catastrophe; third, that he indicated
and preserved unimpaired the rights
of neutrals and restrained the zeal of
belligerents from sacrificing interna-
tional law to the supposed necessities
of their military plans; and, fourth,
that he saved up the moral energies
of great and free people to place
them at the disposal of mankind when
they rested from their work of de-
struction and began to reconsider the
possibilities of national life.
Ellis has been the one sane and Sc
rene spirit which will redeem this age;
and when the election comes it will
be found that the people of America,
whatever their sympathies in the Eu-
ropean struggle, realize that the one
indispensable exponent of the mind,
the friendliness and the ideals of
America in the remaking of the old
order in the Old World is the finest
type produced in this age by the new
order of the New World Woodrow
Wilson,"
