It would bo a more desolate or Though the climate Is out the year, It Is not unt the feathered hosts urrive south at this suiidy rendezvous. In the van come the noddles, u few about the 1st of May and the rest withlu a few days. A week later the sooty terns pour In, and It Is said that within a week of their arrival both kinds begin to lay. At tho time of our comlug nearly all the birds had eggs and were devoting themselves to their family cares. To reach the buildings from tho llttlo landing place we had to pass through a tract of bushes, and here It was that I saw the first nests of the noddles. Up on tho tops or In tlio forks of tho bush es each pair had built u rather rudo yet fairly substantial platform of sticks, only slightly hollowed, and upon each one sat a dark gray bird. There was something about these graceful little creatures that Instuntty took mo by storm, a case of love at tlrst alght The noddy Is very much like a dove—ex cept for Its webbed feet—in size, In form. In the softness of its plumage, the expression of Its largo dark eyes and Its gentle, confiding ways. There la no wild affright as tho stranger ap proaches. Just a shadow of fear Is evi dent, but the birds sit Quietly on their nests, hoping and trusting, und do not fly unless approached utmost within arm’* reach. Then they flit gently away, alighting upon a neighboring bush until tho tntrudor has withdrawn, when they return directly to their charge.

They not only exhibit educated beam, span iels. monkey* and goato, but alao train ed bird* nndt whut Is the more aston ishing of all, trick fish. One of the most curious example* of patient training is an exhibit by an old Korean boatman of a dozen drilled tortoises. Directed by bis souga aud a small metal drum, they march la line, execute various evolutions and conclude by climbing upon a low table, the larger ones forming of their own uccord a bridge for the smaller, to which the feat would otherwise lie Im- fiossible.
