Birds and Their Nests,

The robin is one of the best nest
builders. Robins prefer trees not too
heavily foliaged, like an apple tree. At
times the robin will build her. nest in
q gateway or beneath the caves Of a
house where there is solid founda-
ton. But as a general proposition it
Is in a tree of fairly good size. 1t is
built Of straw and grass and string
and mud and is solid and heavy. A
robins nest may be exposed to the
weather for five or six years and not
go to pieces, but it is never used but
once. A few birds use q secondhand
nest, but when they do so they clean
1t out and patch it up with new ma
terial. The oriole uses one nest year
after year, but always improves it by
putting in new material and seeing to
1t that it is tied with stout strings to
the limb from which it is suspended

MODERN READERS OF FICTION

Women who are giving greater i'm
portance to woman's sphere are dis
corning readers Of fiction, says the
New York Evening Post. This is the
conclusion drawn by James Hay, Jr.,
after careful observation, and it would
probably meet with some skepticism
On the part Of people who think that
fiction serves mainly to amuse. He
writes in recent publication that he
long ago discovered that certain men
and women appreciate new view
points, had the knack of defending
with facts and plays of fancy their
own opinions, had their favorite sports,
flowers and colors, and pleased you
with their eagerness to hear of any
new thing touching their recreation or
WOrk-and that such men and women
had in large measure developed their
own striking personalities through in
Innate intercourse with the unusual
characters whom great writers had
found to be worth writing about"

put their hands ON the motives of men.

edge of life and Of men and women on

To EoreteIl Weather.

The following is given in the Bos-
ton Globe as means of foretelling the
weather: "A gray, lowering sunset,
or one where the sky is green or vel
lOwish green, indicates rain. A red
sunrise, with clouds lowering later in
the morning, also indicates rain. A
halo occurring after fine weather in
dicates storm. A corona growing
smaller indicates rain; growing larger,
fair weather. A morning rainbow is
regarded as sign Of rain; an eve
ming rainbow of fair weather. A deep
blue color of the sky, even when seen
through clouds. indicates fair wealth
err; growing whiteness, an approach
ing storm. Fogs indicate settled
weather. A morning fog usually
breaks away before noon. Unusual
clearness Of the atmosphere, unusual
brightness or twinkling of the stars,
indicate rain. The first frost and the
last frost are usually preceded by
temperature very much above normal.

Much Interest in Industry,

WAYCROSS, Aug. 5.-Consider-

Waycross in the tobacco industry and
from all indications one or more ware
houses will be erected here for next
season. A number of Ware county far
mers have gone into tlfeindustrv on a
large scale and are more than pleased
with the results, despite the fact
that there is no market in the county.
Ware county tobacco is marketed
In Douglas, Nichols and Blackshean
and of the many thousands of dol
lars paid for tobacco in Douglas this
year a Ware county crop has brought
the highest price so far. The crop
was grown on the Bum farm, west
OF Waycross. L. J. Cooper, the first
producer of the bright leaf tobacco
in the county and one of the first in
the state, sold a small lot of seec,
leaf grpwn near Waycross at Is cents
pound last week. The matter of
erecting warehouses has been taken
up by the Waycross and Ware Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce.

WHEN A TYPHooN HITS GUAM
island Makes Small Target, but
Storm Center Has Found 1t
All Too Frequently.

Iyphoons sometimes visit the island
OF Guam and are very destructive in
the path Of the center. The Asiatic
typhoons originate near Guam, but un-
tess the center passes directly over the
Island the effect is not serious. AS
the island is small this does not often
happen. But did happen in July,
1918, with disastrous results. The loss
or life was fortunately slight, but the
damage otherwise was great, consist
ing IN the unroefing or total destruc-
tlon OF many habitations Government
mousse lost third of its roof, the loss
OF all crops and the uprooting of or
serious injury to all trees, especially
coconut and fruit trees.
These typhoons are rotary storms
"mch nave a motion of translation as
well. Their coming can be foretold
some hours in advance by an increas-
ing wind with falling barometer, and
oy the direction of the wind and the
appearance of the clouds. The center
is calm area of some miles in diam
eter, with very low barometer, caus-
ing the sea to rise abnormally within
this low-pressure area. Around this
center the wind is whirling at a ter
rloie rate. 1t works up gradually to
maximum as the center draws near,
ana then falls abruptly to calm.
