nests on the ground because of the
dampness (which is supposed to assist
in hatching) is not supported by ex
periments. A hen will hatch as
many chicks on the top of the dry

ground. She selects a cool place in
summer and a dvy one in winter, her
nest being where she can be most
comfortable and least disturbed.

A Notable Amusement Combination,
The old world has been ringing the
praises to Sand's & Astley's Enormous
Old and New World Railroad Shows
which has visited in Europe during its
present grand tour around the world.
Since its arrival in America the press
of the United Mates is laden with
panegyrics and the opinion that it is
head and shoulders above all other
tented exhibitions seems to be unani
mous. The circus department, vw
are told, presents an unusual number
of meritorious acts and the grand
double menagerie contains a large
number ot rare Deasts, birds and rep
tiles. The hippodrome is said to be
the most realistic and the curio de
partment unusually attractive. These
shows are to be here Monday, July ist.
