C'JNNING NEST BUILDERS.
Humming Birds' Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yot They Defy Detoction.
Even In those parts of tropical Amer
ica where, as in Colombia, humming
birds are vastly numerous. It is almost
Impossible for the most experienced
naturalist to dud their uests. In this,
although as a rule they are not hidden
at all. the feathered builders relying
for concealment upon the likeness of
their tiny bouses to the surroundings
amid which they are placed A hum
mer's nest always corresponds exactly
in color with the branch to which it Is
attached. It may imitate a knot or
other excrescence. Thus the Calliope
bumming bird of the western Dnited
States often builds on a dead plae
twig, either upon or near a cwne of
similar size and hue
Usually the nests of humming birds
are cup shaped or turban shaped, and
their material is always plant down
Such down, resembling cotton wool,
but of more delicate fiber. Is gathered
from the stems of ferns and other
plants. TIls Is woven Together MTB
spiders' webs Into 11 compact mass.
Usually they oninment the outside of
the nest with s!im!l feathers or lichens
which the.v obtain by detaching theui
from the rocks where these bumble
plants grow These they fasten with
cobwebs all over the exterior of their
tiny house.
When these wee architects suspend
their nets from leaves or tendrils ttiey
are always weighted for stability in
order that they may not be upset by
every parsing breeze. For this pur
pose the bottom Is made very thick.
But the most remarkable expedient is
that adopted by the hill stars, which
dwell far up near the snow line of the
Andes. They weight the tiny suspend
ed house on the lighter side with a
pebble to give the proper balance.
There is no question whatever that
this is done, and many of the nests of
such species nreserved in collections
are found to contain pebbles.—Rose L.
Honeyman In St. Nicholas.
HE GOT STUCK IN THE. MUD.
Then He Discovered the Magic Power
of the Water Jet.
The water Jet has been used for so
manv years in putting down and pull
ing piling that its discovery has long
since been lost sight of It was used
during the civil war and for many
years previous by government en
pincers.
Tradition has It that the discoverer
of the advantages of the water Jet was
a government engineer and that his
discovery was made in the following
manner: It seems that along In the
forties this engineer was building a
wharf and was having unusual diffi
culty In putting down Irs piling One
dav in wading around his boots be
came stuc k in a tenacious mud. and he
found It lm; oss|b> to pull them out
There happened to be a hose near by.
and one of the men handed It to the
officer, the idea being that he would
wash the mud away from his boots.
The water was turned on. and the offi
cer applied ii stream to his feet
To his surprise he sank deeper. He
tried It again and went down still far
ther in the mud. By this time he was
in up to his waist and still going down
Astonished by hl« discovery, he con
tinned to apply the stream to his feet,
and be might be going down yet had
not his men come to the rescue and
pulled him out by means of a small
hand derrick
Once on shore he began "to think the
matter out." If a stream of water ap
piled to a man's feet will cause him to
sink deei>er In the mud why wouldn't
It have the same effect If applied to
the base of a pile? He tried it. and the
pile which had obstinately refused to
go down before sank easily to place
and In that way. so runs the story, was
discovered the use of the water Jet for
putthig down piling. — Philadelphia
