Birdhouses Boys Can Build" by Step.
ert. This book not only gives pictures
and plans Of the various kinds of
houses that may be built for birds, but
it also contains a table Of dimensions
o. the size Of houses the different species
OF birds require. for robin will require
larger house than the wren.
The book divides birdhouses into three
classes, First. there are those made from
sawed lumber, built very much similar
to The doll house. only smaller. with
gables at either end and slanting roof
coming to an angle in the center. This
is the simplest type Of house. An op.
ening is made in the one gable and the
bottom it attached by hinges or screws
50 that the house may be easily cleaned.
Wood should be used which does not
easily check or warp such as pine or pop.
lar. After completion the houses should
be painted to improve their appearance
and to preserve them against the effects
Of the weather.
But there sre many Of the more re-
served birds who avoid all freshly
painted houses. To attract these. the
rustic type Of birdhouse must be built.
Ii is made Of slabs Of wood with the
bark left on. or pieces of tree trunk
which have been followed out, or sawed
lumber trimmed with bark or twigs.
Thus the house built Of sawed lumber
may, instead Of being painted. be COW
cred with twigs until it resembles a min.
iaiure log cabin. Sometimes. a pail
will do as a foundation, simply being /!
covered over with bark and moss.
Then there are the cement and stucco
houses. They are the most difficult to
make and birds as rule do not take |
Kindly to them.
All houses should be built with a !
slapting roof 50 that the nest will remain |
dry when it rains, and all should be pro- !
vided with ventilating and cleaning de-

State Nimrod Not Content With Stay
ing Animals for Hides In
Pennsylvania.

Warren, Pa.-Most Of the Warren
county hunters who go to the big
woods after the bear, are satisfied in
shooting Mr.. Bruin and then dragging
him home for their neighborS to see.
But Chauncey Logue, the state trap
per, who has been working in this
locality, has a better solution to the
bear-getting problem.
LOgue, who has been in the trapping
game for many years, places his traps
and when the bear is caught places a
collar around it's neck and, armed with
a heavy club, leads Mr.. Bear to the
nearest shipping point.
A short time ago. after capturing an
extra large bear and bringing it in,
he was asked by moying-picture men
if he would take it out of the crate so
as to enable them to take pictures He
complied and the pictures taken are
now on exhibition in Pittsburgh.

HARVEY CONTINUES TO SHRINK

Ambassador Geo. Harvey seems
to grow smaller as time goes by.
Senator John Sharp Williams
(Dem. Miss.,) referred to his rela-
tive Importance in national affairs
in a recent speech on the Four-Pow-
er Treaty. Senator Williams had
mentioned some great names in
English history, when Senator
Ashurst (Dem., Ariz.,) facetiously
remarked: 81 hope the Senator will
not forget George Harvey"
ST Decline" said Senator Williams,
"to be diverted from the great, sub
lime heights to which my oratory
has just a moment ago risen to the
contemplation of George Harvey.
Notwithstanding the prevailing in
f1uence which the Senator from
Arizona is entitled to have with me,
I decline to have my sublimity Of
thought brought down to George
Harvey. I would not mind it if one
of the pages were mentioned by
name, but I do not want to fool
with George Harvey while I am in
earnest about great national ques-
tion."

Here is "Shirt-Tail" Charley, one of
the few remaining Seminole Indians
now in Florida. Some years ago Char
ley committed a crime for which his
chief condemned him for the rest of
his life to wear nothing more than
plain shirt. Many times he has been
tempted to don the gorgeously colored
garments so typical Of the Seminole,
but the realization that his life would
be the forfeit for the discarding Of his

TEST TO PROVE FoRTlTUDE
indian "Braves" Subjected to Hideeus
Torture Before They Were
ciassed as Warriors"

The Sun dance was q ceremonial
performance in which the young Sioux
aspirant gave that final proof OF en-
durance and courage which entitled
him to the honors Of full-fedged
warrior. One feature Of it was the
suspension in air of the candidate by
. raw-hide rope passed through Sits
cut in the breast, or elsewhere, until
the flesh tore and he fell to the
ground. If he tainted, faltered or
failed, or even gave way momentarily
to his anguish during the suspension.
he was damned forever. after, and was
called and treated as a squaw for the
rest of his miserable life.
The afterward famous Rain-in-the-
Face, in submitting to this test, hung
suspended for two days with the raw
hide rope through deep Sits in his
back over the kidneys while he taunt-
ed his tormentors. and sang his war
songs, and boasted of his deeds. The
tough flesh muscles and tendons would
not tear loose. Buffalo skulls were
tied to his legs an6 the added weight
finally enabled the Indian stole to
break free.

BIRD HAS CHANGED ITS COLOR
Circumstances Somewhat Rare, but
Not Unknown to the Students
Of ornitho!eay.~

The leopard may not be able to
change his spots, but the feathers on
the ground finch of Chimbo valley in
western Ecuador have schanged their
color. This mystery was explained to
the American Ornithologists' union
meeting in Chicago by DR.. Frank NJ.
Chapman, curator of birds Of the
American Museum Of Natural History.
The ground inhabiting finch ranges
from Mexico to southern Peru. In all
this 5,000-mile stretch Of country these
birds have a conspicuous black throat
band and underparts Of gray and
white. This is til" case everywhere
excert in one small river valley, where
the bird loses its black collar and be-
comet almost entirely white.
Doctor Chapman said that this diff
ferent dress was not due to environ
ment, but one Of the rare instances
in which such a change had been de-
tected in birds. The mutation which
spontaneously occurred has simply be-
come permanent and specific through
the isolation of this group of birds.
