Yoftary Public. apI 11 18 25 may 2 9 16 1912 SWALLOWS ARE VERY B0W One Bu1ds Nest in a House and m other Establishes Home on Eleotric Light Lamp. A very curious Instance of boldness In swallows was reorrded In 188U from Ceylon. In this case the birds built over a lamp In the dining room; what made their choie of site mor remarkable was the fact tbat the lamp could he raised or lowered by couater wegshts and. the conncting chais auectually passed through the mud walls of the neat. Occasionally the bird selects a nest ing site which nvites comparison with th. boldness of the robin. In July last a pair of swallows took advantage of the open window of an unoccupied bedroom In a house at Flelmersham in Bedfordshire to begin building their nest on the curtain rod of the bed. The return of the owner of the bouse and hfh occupation of the bed did not in the least disturb or alarm the birs, which completed the neat and brought off three nestltngs within seven weeks of the house owner's re tura. They took no notic, of the oo Scupeant of the bed when flying in and out of the window feedtng their I young; but the hen bird would fly of the neat it any one entered the room I during the daytlme. Three year. ago a pair of swallows built their net on top of the shade of an electric lamp which hangs outside the asylum at Narborough, near ACT OF INCORPORATION A OF LYNNWOOD LIGHT, POWna AND WATER COMPANY.
