But when people began to get acquainted more with the birds they found this was not so. There are certain birds who are very wise, of course. You may have seen the bird called the fly catcher—Lay's fly catcher. It la a bird common In Colorado. A whole nest full of little fly catche has been known to stretch wings f

And he found t

are, and they conld not understand the calls of their own mother. Sometimes a mother bird, when she thinks it time for her babies to fly. will drive them away from their homes or push them off the nest out Into the world. But more often the little folk fall from the nest when rocked too hard-by the breeze or the home grows too crowded and one little one la pushed out Then the mothWp and fathers show great anxiety for the little ones and they do all they can to-help them back to the nest or td teach them how to use their wlnga Mother birds love their children just as any mother lores her child. One time a happy little family qf robins lived In a tre* Just beneath a window where a little girl watched them day after day. The bird children grew very fast. Just as all children, do. and as there were fire of them they soon quite filled the nest. One day as unusually heavy . halldo In the spring The little girl'worried a great deal about those tiny birds, for she was very fond of them and was afraid they would be hurt by the hall. She went to the window to see If they were aafe in the nest And there was the dear mother robin hovering over them with her wings stretched out Just' as far as she could reach, trying to cover all her Habits and protect them .from the storm. 1' The hall came down hard and pelted her on the head and wings.’hot she shook It off and never stirred from her little home until the storm was over. Then she fluttered to the ground All bruised and quite exhausted. Young birds grow very fast ani sat slrSSHreSS

JDLO ISLAND.

Major Sweet, commanding ofllcer of Jolo, gives some Interesting news regarding hts Island In the tropics. The report has been filed with the department and a copy of it has been received at army headquarters In Denver. Miss Sweet, daughter of Major Sweet, Is well known socially In this city. Her father has many friends-in Denver. Jolo. which, with the exception of Tawl Tawi. is the most remote Island belonging to the United In the Sea of Jolo. in long grees east of Greenwich and on the sixth parallel north from the •ajoator. about 100 miles due west trom the easternmost point of Borneo. 7S? miles S. S. E. from Manila and 8681 miles from San. Francisco. The island was first occupied May 19, 1899.

TOe' governor's residence and office Is one small building. There Is one group of barracks (four buildings) which will accommodate one battalion. Tbe theatre will accommodate one company and outlying block houses two companies. A commlsary pdstoffle*. schoolhouse. a hospital for about 100 beds, a market and some few small structures compose the remainder of the public buildings." The commanding officer of the United States troepj reported the day after his arrival that the situation, in so far as determined from our experience. was as follows: "Spain possesses the small walled town known as Jolo. The governor has complete control within the walla There are no civil courts, no civil offlcera Outside the walls the Sultan of Jolo and Borneo is the ruler. Spain pays him 1200 Mexican per month. At. present he is not on the Island, but la visiting one of the neighboring Islands abont 20 miles south. He has recently returned from Mecca and now dresses In European costume Spanish soldiers seldom go beyond tbe range of the outlying blockhouses The relations between the natives (Moros) and Spain art not altogether

harmonious."

Each car will be equipped with two electric motors of between fifty land sixty horse-power. Contrary to the commonly- accepted rvactlce for tunnel work, the line will not have the third-rail system, but the overhead trolley will be used. The reason’ for this deviation Is said to bo as follows; Sufficient head-room for trolleys in the tunnels, no expensive Insulators or heavy bonds, elimination N of any danger or Inconvenience In ^rack Inspection or repairs, and no auxiliary locomotive required to switch cars at the iermlnal yards and shops.'
