A curious combination of beautiful
coloring and ungainly form is present
Ell by the hamingo. In shape II Is
midway between goose and a stork,
ranging, when full grown, between 5
and 61s feet in height. Its bumped
body Is supported on legs amazingly
long and thin. while its slender neck
curves upward like big letter s, and
ends In a small head with great fiat
down-curving beak.
The lower part Of this beak forms
deep. broad box, into which the
upper part fits like a cover. When

During the nesting period the re-

Oldest of Reptiles.

The ''tutatera lizard" Is said TO be
the most remarkable creature now liv
ing In New Zealand and the oldest ex
listing type OF reptile. SO deeply are
naturalists interested In this curious
species OF animal. which seems to be
Ms closely related TO turtles as TO
lizards. that legislative protection has
been secured for Ii, says the Wash
ington Star. Unfortunately, the eggs
OF the creature do not appear to be
covered by the protective act, aud graf.
ihcation has been expressed in GER
tain quarters that only one man, a
Mr.. Henaghan, who can be trusted.
knows where TO look for the precious
eggs. Before they are all destroyed
1t is hoped that the biologists Will
have an opportunity to determine how
the strange animal Is developed, and
II is more lizard than
turtle or more turtle than lizard.

FAMED NEW ENGLAND CHURCH
Edlfce Erected at Bennington, VIZ f0o
Years Ago, Known All over
the Country.

Early this month the First Congre-
ya;lonal church In Bennington, VI.
which has the double distinction Oh
being the first church built In the state
of Vermont and the reputation OF De-
ing the most beautiful example Oh

anniversary.
The Remington church Is famous
all over the country. II has Deen
photographed perhaps as often as any
church In the United States, uay
seldom passing without some tourist
haitlng for a snapshot. II Is located
on the heights at the western side OF
the township overlooking Bennington
village
The First church was organized the
first week OF December. l7b2. Ihls
was before Vermont had become
separate state. and while IL was
part OF New Hampshire.
In connection with its construction,
there is an entertaining legend. In the
days when the Bennington folk de
clded that they must have church,
there was but one book on church
architecture In the whole district, and
this was owned by an architect In
Bennington. The local folk studied
the book and devised the church after
suggestions contained In IT,
After the church was built II be
came famous throughout the district
and soon, other townships wanted to
build and sent to Bennington 70 Dor
row the book Bennington informed
them they would have TO come and
do their studies In architecture on the
SPOT. as the book would be kept in the
town.
From village and hamlet. came com
mittees Of builders. carpenters. stone
workers and window and interior fin
ishers. The book was lent to them and
they met in the church to read and
digest 1t. After their studies were
done, the committee used TO assemble
and discuss the plans for their own
church. devlsing notifications of the
design used in Bennington. In order TO
get original results.
Thus the church became the model /
for all Vermont's church builders.

HER MOTHER LOVE STRONG
Ordinarily Timid Rabbit 6raveiy
Faced Certain Death In Defsnss
Of Her Offspring.

The rabbit Is ordinarily one OF the
timldest OF animals. YET this story
which a contributor sends US. concerns
q mother rabbit that, for a little time.
was as brave as any lioness could be.
the Youths Companion relates.
When | was a small boy. our con-
tributor writes, my father took me
with him to pick blackberries on the
western bank OF the Ohio river. Inc
bushes were In a rather dense forest.
and soon my father and I became sep
arnted. Presently / found myself In
little circular glade perhaps 10 feet Ia
diameter and was busily filling my
small pail when suddenly heard
something scurrying along near my
feet. As looked down little brown
rabbit leaped into the open space and
stopped close to me.
Evidently the little thing was in the
utmost terror. for II frembled Violent
ly as II sat up. facing the direction
from which 1t had come.
Then | spled a long. slender brown
animal that | afterward learned was
a weasel gliding toward II. The little
rabbit either was totally exhausted or
was hypnotized. for 1t made no further
effort TO escape; and / myself was so
startled that | could do nothing TO
avert the impending tragedy. just
then there WAS another commotion in
the brush. and the mother rabbit
sprang into the glade and stopped d.
rectly In front OF the foe: she sat up
on her launches: her forefeet were
thrust out. aud her big teeth were
cleaning. The weasel turned TO at
tack her. and there might have been
thrilling fight; but at that moment all
a small boys longing for a menageris
seemed to well up within me, and
had a Wild desire to capture all three
Of the animals.
Utterlng loud cry for my father 10
come quick, | dropped my berry pail
and rushed forward with hands ex-
tended. At the sound Of my voice,
however, the old rabbit and her dead
v enemy disappeared among the
pushes. The little rabbit became my
prisoner, but I soon released her.

The activity OF kilauea. volcano OF

The eruption OF Kllauea. the most
active and also the most famous OF
Hawaiian volcanoes. exhibits none OF
these features. KIlauea Is 4 pit crater,
about eight miles around. In a lava

measured from the crater floor.

the crater floor Is like the surface OF

Is q lake Of molten lava. Occasionally
the level OF the lava rises until IL flows
