 Alabama has it's natural beauty, its highlands and low lands are filled with beautiful green, the one rugged with rocks, peeping from behind, and over which are the blooming wild flowers, and below, in the dales, are gurglng streams winding their way around among the homes of the birds and the minks, and coming into view occasionally; the farm house with it's old oaken bucket, and it's ding-dong cowbel. Across the way wt see the sunburnt home maker and the man battling with hoe and blow for this years crop.

Finding Bobolink's Nest

Samuel Scoville. Jr.. in the Yale Review
 ] remember one Decoration Day when highly resolved to find a bobolink' s nest in field where several pairs were nesting Early in my hunt I decided that the gay black-and-white males which seemed to be flying and singing aim lessly were really signalling my approach to the females on the nest At any rate
 the mother birds would rise far ahead as I came near. evidently after having they gave me no clue as to the where abouts of their nests. I decided, how ever, that my only chance was to watch these females, knowing that an incubat- ing bird will not leave her eggs for any great length of time. Accordingly, when the next streaked brown bird flew up far ahead of me, settled down in the long grass with field-glass and care fully watched her flight She crossed the meadow and alighted some three hun dred yards away. In about 15 minutes she came back and settled in the grass on q slope some distance from where sha had flown out Almost immediately she flew out again, probably warned by the male on guard. Once more she crossed the meadow and this time stayed away so long that nearly fell asleep in the drowsy, scented grass. Tn the mean time, one by one the songs of the males like the tinkling, gurglh.g notes of a meadow seemed deserted. Finally through my half-shut eyes I saw Mrs. Bobolinls come flying low over the tops of the

Taking up my hat, I was about to begin another watch when in tho very spot where the hat had lain I no ticed that the long leaves of a narrow. leafed plantain at one place had beer parted, showing hole underneath. ! carefully separated the leaves. and be- fore me lay the long desired nest. | was only a shallow hollow under thS leaves, lined with fine dry grass and con. taining four dark eggs heavily blotched and marbled with red-brown.

 My Dear Martha: Some people com plain it is boring to ride on the train. Perhaps these are the folks who have that privilege often, but to us who only ride occasionally the pleasure is ours.
 Leaving Birmingham on the early train. the morning of June 9, the air was fine, and as the train via Chattanooga to Washington sped along the country high ways, the dew on the grass sparkled like diamonds, and just as the suns rays shone hottest we were speeding through the farm fields. The crops looked back ward, too much rain, and the weeds had the advantage. Even the pastures looked vacant and cattle seemed scarce. The villages on the way were sleeping at the early hour. evidently the worm had that

New Devices to

for the transcontinental service when
it is installed. Heretofore the only
argument against the aerial mail plane
was that railroads were more depend
able than flying machines for long
haulS, that planes could not make
transcOntinental or long cross country
flights with surety Of success be-
cause the weather might either delay
the start or force a landing on unde-
sirable ground
There was much in that argument
until the wireless was called into play
in behalf of the air mail plane"
Cut Down the Time.
Air service across the continent from
New York to San Francisco will cut
down the time of transmission of mail
by almost two days, according to Mr..
Braeger. He says:
'The proposed transcontinental air
mail from New York to San Francisco
is the result of our inability to get the
railroads to give the Pacific coast
cities, notably Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Seattle, an efficient mail
service. A letter mailed in New York
and making all connections takes 80
hours to reach San Francisco.
"If you write letter Monday it will
| leave New York at 40 O'Clock that
night, and if the trains are on time
will arrive in San Francisco at 10 80
O'Clock Friday afternoon. During 25
days in October the mail reached San
Francisco on schedule only five times
When the trains were as much as an
hour late the mail was not delivered
until Saturday morning.
