WASHINGTON, Nov. lonely age, the apariment era, has reached out to ma fipresdion everf in ithe king of the air. An enterprising bird has cen found at Norwich, Conn,, a bach- elor Phoebe who has adopted mod. ern methods. Instead of moping hopelessly at a Jonely nest, the homeless but home-loving bird built a seven-nest apartment structure along the stringer of a workshed. No Phoehes came to occupy his neat rtinent, when the nesting sedson ended he flew away doubtless happier than if he had let more hopeful dreams consume his idleness. ‘When the nesting season was definitely over, Paul Kaufman of Norwich carefully removed the Phoehé’s d@partment and sent it to the Americari Nature associa- tion, where investigation showed that nothifig like it had ever been reported. It was a unit of con- struction, 27 inches long, the sev- en apartments being perfectly in- tetwoven with the same simple materials. 1—Tha house an m OLDEST SCALES " EoLBRADS Souo DENVER, Colo., Nov. 1—Tha oldest gold scales in Colorado, in | use since before the Civil war. still dre weighing and judg gold nuggets brought In from th~ hills surrounding Central City.
