There came a day when from the time jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun first peeped up over the trees of the Green Forest little Mrs. Bob White was filled with anxiety. She had sat on her nest while her greatest enemies had been so close that she could al touch them. Yet she hadn't been nervous. She had been anxious, of course, but she hadn’t been nervous, she was nervou: that. this wi 3 g A very happy event was to tal that day. Perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say that many happy SAID HE TO MRS. REDDY, “DO YOU HEAR BOB ‘WHITE?" events were to take place that day. She knew it, because she had heard certain little sounds which told her that where she had had only eggs for so long, she was now to have little fluffy babies. It was just after jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun had started climbing up in the | blue, blue sky Avove the Green Forest that the first egg was chipped open and finally fell into two parts and the dearest of little babies stretched his neck out and Kicked his wee little legs for the first time he was all ready to run out in the The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle | And, strange to sav, | i | | | i 1 | | | | i , GES. .

There were 16 of those babies | when' the last egg hatched. Yes, sir, | there were 16 little Bob Whites, and ! very_little they were. It didn’t seem as if such tiny folk just out of the shell could be strong enough to run about. But they were. Yes, sir, they were! What is more, they wanted to Tun_ about. Their mother had hard work to keep the older ones from | straying away before the last egg had | hatched. Do you wonder that she | spent a most anxious day? o | (Copyright, 1920.)

The first commercial incandescent lamp consumed about 100 watts and was rated to give 16 candlepower horizontally, the equivalent to about 170 lumens. It blackened considerably during its life, the average amount of light throughout life being about 65 per cent of initial. It sold for $1.25 and was considered one of the marvels of the age. The present average lamp is rated at 690" lumens (the equivalent of about 59 candlepower), its average lumens throughout life ' being 93 per cent initial. It thus gives over five times the amount of light given by the lamp of 1881 and consumes about 40 per cent less current. Its list price is 20 cents, less than one-sixthi'that of the 11681 lamp, s Speaking. smile.
