BY Lillian Cox Athey

have been so inconsiderate of their
offspring. But a little thought on
the food habits of the infants soon
clears up the matter. Fish bones
and scales would soon ruin any mat
tress and create quite a tangled
mess.
However, in a short time, down
covers the body, and all is well.
Father and mother fish almost from
dawn to dusk to keep the hungry
brood satisfied. Pretty soon, the
doorway will be filled with eager
children watching for their return
with food. Then, on a clear calm
day, they will be taken to the limb
OF tree reaching out over the wa
ter. From this platform their par
ents have been fishing with success,
and 1t now becomes their school
room. Great patience in the teach
ers' effort to persuade the pupils
to take the first plunge sometimes
in order to expedite matters, the
slow ones are pushed!
The kingfisher is an angler one
never tires of watching. He keeps
his eyes glued to the water below
He may decide on a frog, club,
husky minnow or trout for dinner
and he does not want to make a
mistake. When the decision is made
to go, the loud report made when he
strikes the water startles you. In a
second, he is back on the limb with
his prize. Then, with an expert flip
the catch is in the air coming down
headfirst into the open cavern wait
ing for it.

a dust bath and seeming to enjoy
it as much as If it had been a water
bath. They threw 1t all over each
other, and then when finally they
flew back to the Old Orchard they
didn't half shake the dust out of
their feathers. Phew If that's

Chippy looked trifle embarras-
sed, for it had become generally
known that Bully is relative of his.
LAS I was saying" continued
Jenny Wren, "some of the best
families have lived here for years,
but am afraid they will move away
if any more such dirty common-
looking. noisy people come here.
Why, they'll make the whole neigh
borhood common! I think some
thing ought to be done about it,"
But what can be done? This is
a free country" said Brownie the
Thrasher.

anything to do with them. I won't

NATURES CHILDREN
ELTED KINGFISHER.
(Cerple alcyon.)

Belted kingflshers are picturesque
personalities in birddom, but their
fame as fishermen is what attracts

the white plumage, they prefer Gin
brown.

ers. They are expert excavators
and many of them have SCARED
bills as evidence of the strenuous

To dig tunnel from to Is feet
into clay bank, with no other
tool than sharp beak and a pair
of feet to brush out the loosened
dirt, is an accomplishment to be
proud Of, but these builders also
provide large nursery at the end
of the hallway. Here five to eight
white eggs will be placed on the
bare floor, since not a vestige of
mattress is ever seen in a kingfisher
nursery.
The babies are born naked. At
