BIRDS MAKE MUCH TROUBLE Frequently Cause Short Circuits, Inter- rupting Cable sarVice Between
 North and South America.

Birds that build their nests on the arms of telegraph poles are one of the most exasperating causes of the interruption of cable communication between North and South America The nest-builders construct their home along the land section of lines between Valparaiso and BuenQs Aires and cause short circuits, some times delaying messages.
 One of these annoying nest-build- CTS is called by the natives 'el car pintero," another "el hornero," meaning, respectively, the "carpen- ter" and the "kiln-builder" The ''hornero" builds his nest mostly of clods of earth and the "carpintero" employs small sticks, and frequently bits of discarded telegraph and fence wire. The "hornero's" nest is us- ually harmless, until it rains, when it becomes mud, the water in which establishes a circuit with the arm of the pole or between the different wires. But when the "carpintero" tries to reinforce the walls of his house with a piece of wire the dis aster to communication is instanta, neous.

BROUGHT RAT TO MIND

A horse dealer was trying to sell a horse to fruit merchant, who was not such fool as the dealer took him to be.
 After examining the horse the fruit dealer shook his head.
 "No,'' he said, 'I'll not buy him."
 "Why not?" asked the horse deal CT. "He's just in his prime"
 The fruit merchant shook his head.
 ''That horse," he said, 'reminds me of rat twenty years old which my watchman caught last week"
 "How's that?" asked the horse dealer.
 Because the rat had date in its mouth," was the quiet reply.
