Domestic affairs do not appeal to
the handsome husband. His mate
must find the plant-doWn, the
spider webs and the lichen from
which she fashions one of the most
dainty of all nests Usually, she
anchors this cradle to the sloping
limb of tree, not far from a small
knot, which it matches perfectly.
In the soft warm crib, two tiny
eggs will be laid The babies, when
born, are not quite so big as humble
bees. Besides, they are naked, blind
and need a lot of care. But they
grow awfully fast; in 10 days, they
are as large as their parents.
They demand soft, juicy insects
and, as they cannot swallow. their
mother has to place the food deep
in their throats.
Then comes day when Mother
Hummer decides her infants must
learn to fly. On the rim of their
nursery, they teeter. She coaxes
and has been known to give sister or
Junior slight prodding. Still they
cling fast to their home, afraid to
let 60. But they are finally launch
ed and aware of their dominion
over air and space. and soon may be
seen slipping nectar from the deep
throat of the trumpet flower in your
garden or the cardinal blossom

Uncle Rays Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

Some readers may remember the
times I have spoken about the
danger In going under tree dur
ing thunderstorm. Lightning may
strike the tree. and person under
It may be killed.
Sad news IVES telegraphed from
Millenocket, Maine, a few weeks
ago. Here is the first part of the
dispatch I read:
Five schoolboys who had been
swimming in the Penobscot river
were killed yesterday when lightning
strick q tree under which they were
standing"
The dispatch gave the names OF
the boys. They ranged in age from
IL to II, and all were members of
different families.
Think of the sadness in those fam
lilies, and all because the boys did not
follow this simple rule. Keep away
from trees during thunderstorm F."
We are not told whether the boys
we're in their swimming suits. If
so, they would hardly have minded
getting wet from the rain. More
likely they had changed to their
regular clothes. and we're anxious
to keep as dry as possible.
1t is natural to look for shelter
during a shower, but a tree is the
wrong kind of shelter A tree may
attract lightning, especially if it is
the tallest in the area When it is
made wet by rain, the lightning
has an easy passage to the ground.
Hundreds of cows. under trees in
their pastures, have been killed by
lightning Sometimes farmers have
died when they ran to the shelter
of a tree to escape a shower.
Lightning does not always strike
the tallest object in a certain space,
but usually it does strike that OBJ
ject. This has been proved through
careful study by scientists.
The invention of the lightning rod
has done great deal to cut down
danger from lightning. Most homes
in cities do not have such rods, but
In country districts many thousands
of homes and barns are protected in
this way
Lightning rods do not always save
q building from damage, but they
help a great deal. Records of a two
year period in Iowa show that farm
buildings without rods we're II times
more likely to be destroyed by light
ming than those guarded with rods
Tall trees growing near house
may be helpful during an electric
storm. If lightning strikes, it is
likely to hit a tree which is taller
than a nearby house.
