HOW BIROS BUILD.
Facta Gathered from the Kiperlenre at
an Kngllih Xalurallst.
At the season when birds are building
their nests, It is an Interesting chapter
of natural history that tells us how they
make their homes. From the observa
tions of an English writer Ihese facta
are gathered. Scarcely any bird la
more wary than the wood-pigeon at
other times, yet In the spring, he says,
there are generally half-a-dozen nest In
the most exposed places near his house,
while the old birds sit tamely, and ap
parently devoid of all fear, close to the
windows.
The missel-thrush forms its nest In
the apple-trees close to the house. Its
nest, although large, is so carefully
built of materials resembling In color
the bark of the tree, and Is made to
blond Itself so graduully with the
branches as to show no distinct outline
of a nest, and to render the nest very
difficult to discover.
The wren always adapts her nest to
the color and appearance of the sur
rounding foliage. In a beech hedge
near the house, in which the leaves of
the last year still remain at the time
when the birds begin to build, the
wrens form the outside of their neBts
entirely of the withered leaves of the
beech, so that, large as it is, the passer
by would never take It for any thing
more than a chanoe collection of leaves
heaped together. When the wren
builds near the ground, she forms her
nest of tho long withered grass such as
grows about the spot. When her nest
Is in a spruce-tree, she covers It with
green moss which resembles the foliage
of the spruce.
The little white-throat builds her
nest on tho ground, nt the root of a tree
or In long withered grass, and carefully
arches It over with the surrounding
herbage, and to hide her llttlo white
eggs, phices a leaf In front of the en
trance whenever she leaves her nest
When the partridge quits her eggs
for the purpose of feeding, she covei-s
them in tho most careful manner, and
even closes tho path by which she
goes to and fro through tho grass. The
wild duck does the same, and hides her
nest and eggs by covering them with
dead leaves, sticks and other sub
stances, which she afterward smooths
carefully over so as entirely to conceal
all traces of her dwelling.
The larger birds, whose nests are too
large for concealment, provide for their
security by other means. A raven, who
builds In a tree, invariably fixes on the
one that is most difficult to climb. She
makes her nest in one whose large size
and smooth trunk, devoid of branches.
set at defianco the utmost efforts of tho
most export climbers.
There is one kind of swallow which
breeds very frequently about the eaves
and rocks on tho seashore. It is al
most impossible to distinguish tho nest
of this bird, owing to her choosing some
Inequality of the rock to hido the out
line of her building, which is composed
of mud and clay of exactly the same
color as tho rock itself. Youth's Com
panion. Nevada's Angry Tree.
In somo parts of Nevada ts a curious
plant called tho "Angry Tree." It Is a
native of Australia, and somewhat re
sembles the century plant. Its namo is
due to its apparent vexation at being
disturbed. When transplanted each,
separate leaf stands up in a different di
rection, like mills on a porcupine or
hairs on tho tail of an angry cat At
such times it gives forth an unpleasant
odor, like that of a rattlesnake when
teased, and sometimes it is fully an hour
before Its leaves resume their natural
condition. Another curiosity in tho
plant world is a peculiar kind of weed
which grows in tho Arkansas Valley.'
It is shaped like a ball, and varies
in size from one foot orless in diameter
to five or six feet, some specimens being
as tall as a man. When ripe these balls
snap off their stems, and go tumbling
over tho prairies with every gust of
wind. They present a very strange ap
pearance, and in the distance hunters
have mistaken them for bisons. Often
they come bounding along in hundreds
at great speed upon the hunters, who
are compelled to crowd upon the ground
to escape being hurt X. Y. Voice.

SINGULAR TENDERNESS.
How Mr. orll I'rnterted a Itobln

nd
Mr. Corliss (tho famous engine
builder of Providence), not long before
his death, had occasion to build an
addition to his manufactory a big
"L," for additional na"hinery. lo
prepare tho foundation for this L, It
was necessary to remove a kdgo of
rock by blasting. Tho men to do tho
work on the iwldition had been en'
ployed and put on the pay-roll; the
materials had been purchased and
brought to the building, and tho work
of blasting had begun. The next
morning Mr. Corliss passed by the
place where work was proceeding.
when tho foreman in charge, knowing
his interest in pretty things, called
him.
"Seo here, Mr. Corliss," said ho,
"here's a bird's nest that we've found,
and th t's got to go."
He showed the manufacturer a robin
sitting upon a nest that had been built,
fast and snug, in a crevice of tho rock,
among some bushes that grew there.
The bird flew off her nest as tho men
eamo near, and showed five bluo eggs
that looked as if they had just been
laid.
"Can we move that nest somewhere
else?" asked Mr. Corliss.
"I'm afraid not, sir. We'd tear it
to pieces getting it out. and it isn't at
all likely that you could get tho bird
to go to sitting again anywhere else.
We've got to go on, so we may as well
rip it out and throw the eggs away.
"No." said Corliss, "we won't dis
turb her. Lot her bring out her brood
right there."
"But we'll have to stop tho work on
the building." ,
"Let it stop, then."
And so orders were given that
operations on the addition should bo
suspended. J hey were suspended
and the hands stood still, drawingthelr
pay for doing nothing, or next to noth
ing, while the robin sat on her nest
with her air of great' consequence and
zealous attention to business, and had
her food brought by her matt:, and at
last hatched her brood. And then
there were three weeks more to go by
at the leaht. before hf young ones
could fly. Corliss visited the nest
frequently, not with any iineasineKM or
impatience to have the romn and the
young ones out of the way, but with a
ceiiuinti interest in their growth. The
oid bird had all the time they wanted
and when at last they had sternly

DIAMOND SETTING.
Channel whlrh Competition haa Wrought
In the Jewelrv limine,
'Ten years ago," said a manufactur
ing jeweler, "there was but one dia
mond cutter In tho city. When he got
sick there was nobody to cut a diamond.
Now there aro plenty of cutters, and
they use improved machinery, by the
use of which they can cut diamonds
better and more cheaply than it can be
done anywhere lit tho world. Our
diamond cutters can take many Im
ported stone and add 25 per cent to
their value by improved cutting. The
obvious Increase In the number of
diamonds worn has competed the
education of workmen to meet the de
mand.
'Another thing has been done. This
is an Invention of tho Aine-lcan manu
facturer, and consists of the applica
tion of machinery to diamond setting.
The old-time workman would have
onsldered with horror the Idea of
putting any thing but hand work on a
piece of diamond Jewelry. Every thing
about it had to be done by slow and
lalMulous hand work. But a shrewd
workman got the Idea that a good deal
of the setting of a diamond may be
done quite as well by machinery as by
hand, and a good del quicker and
more cheaply. Tho fact Is that where
many dlunionds aro Bet they resolve
themselves Into sizes nbout as regular
as the sizes of any other commodity.
It Is easy enough to prepare settings to
suit any size of diamonds that are sold
In the market
'It may seem a trifling thing to esti
mate tho cost of a setting or at least
the difference between a hand-made
.letting and a machine-made setting;
but tho inevitable result of competl-
ion has boon to get tho cost of manu
facturing even diamond jewelry down
to the lowost rate. As to tho value of
tho diamond Itself, tho exports have
become able to fix that nicely.
'There Is plenty of nonsenso In tho
talk about tho wonderful work of old
lino jewelers. You may go up and
look at It In the Metropolitan Museum

take tho best of it and reproduce It In

"There aro artists and those who
pretend to bo artists who rave about
the wonderful handwork that Is put on
metal vases, especially by Japanoso
workmen. Tho wonder to a skilled
American workman Is that such hand
work should be accepted at any
price. You see, for instance, au

"In tho jewelry business, as much as
iu any other, there has boon Introduced
machinery. Enormous expenso for
patterns, designs, tools and machinery
Is often Incurred for the production of

old at a price that Is simply wonderful.
The workman who makes plain gold
rings can now earn more money at It
than he could only a few years ago
when the price paid was much greater.

WOOD-PULP FOR PAPER.
An Iiiduatry to Which Timber Country
May lie Very J'rofltahly Devoted.
The rapid development of wood-pulp
manufacture In Maine Is an Intimation
to tho South and West that thoro is a
now Industry to which their great for
est areas may bo, in part, very profita
bly devoted, ior, apparently, It
doesn't matter much what species of
wood Is used In tho production of pulp;
possibly spruce Is preferred in tho ex
treme Northeast qulto as much on ac
count of its convenience as for any
reason. At liny rato, It is quite certain
that poplar, hemlock, cypress and sev
eral other common woods world an
swer tho purposes of tho business a&
ceptably, and It Is also contended that
white plno would do. hat may be
regarded as a specially attractive fcat
uro of the wood-pulp Industry, from
tho standpoint of economy, Is tho
fact that It utilizes the waste incident
to timber-cutting on a large scalo.
Only tile limbs of the fallen limber are
taken; so there Is no competition pos
sible with lumber manufacturers, rall
splitters or others having uso merely
for tho bodies of tho trees. The only
domain trenched upon Is that of fire
wood, more particularly In the corded
form; but surely there could be no
grievous losses in this direction to the
fuel sunnlv. For. naturally, the de
mand on behalf of wood-pulp manu
faeturo would center Itself where the
timber is most abundant and cheapest;
and in this way largo quantities of
felled timber, now left to feed forest
fli es or decay on tho spot, would bo
