The only pigment colors in ordinary birds' feathers are reds and yellows and blacks, and all the other colors are due either to a combination of these or to the superficial structure of the feathers overlying some other pigment. Blue feathers, for example, contain only brown or blackish pigment overlaid by a layer of prismatic cells which the fire demon reflect only blue light rays.

The raising gang was having trouble holding onto reat iron beams they were lifting, and the riveters were dropping ot rivets right and left A couple of beams had been allowed to fld couple of men had had narrow squeaks. "A 4 by 12 beam missed me by inches." savs Jack, "and with it to pe deafening chatter of innumerable riveting guns, the clang of teams against beams and the banging; of hammers on steel, the was akin to uaif pandemonium.

These edges break off during the spring, exposing the color underneath. The male house sparrow, for example, in winter seems to have only a narrow line of black on his throat, because the rest of his black cravat is concealed by the gray tips of the feathers, which break in April. Red finches display no such gray edges to the feathers. But upon examining a feather with a lens, one will find that the red pigment occurs only in the main branches of the leaflike structure, the parts called the shaft and the barbs, while the more minute branches, or barb- - fw j L K J top.

Bash. 4- they become filled with water during a rain, they lose their refractive power, and the birds, apparently, change from blue to white, as in the tropical swallow tanagers. Again, the blue color Is due to minute air spaces in the superficial layer of cells. Just as the blueness of the sky is due to minute dust particles, and the blueness of the milk on the boarding house table to the minute cream droplets. So long as our blue birds remain between us and the source of light, they are not blue birds at all and therefore may go unnoticed. Yellow birds are usually conspicuous because our eyes are very sensitive to yellow. But many birds have a structure overlaid by a yellow pigment, so that the combination sends green light to our eyes. Then we say these birds are green. Wet the back of a parrot and it becomes brown, or scratch the surface of one of the green feathers with a knife and a dark mark is left This is not because any green pigment Is scratched off, but because the yellow and the prismatic cells have been removed and- - the dark layer beneath exposed. But there seem to be many red birds among these tanagers and finches. Why do we not see them more often? Certainly we have no trouble seeing a red traffic ligh- tindeed, most of them seem to be that color when we are in a hurry. There are some reds, such as the iridescent throats of the humming birds, for which the structure of the feathers is responsible. But most reds, such as those of the tanagers and finches, are due to pigment, and they register as red under all light conditions. To be really effective, however, the red must be exposed to direct sunlight. Should a scarlet tanager alight in the middle of a sunlit lawn or a cardinal fly across the open space in a garden, either bird would attract attention, but most of the time they are sitting among the shadows of green leaves, where they are poorly lighted. The sunlight is reflected from the leaves more readily than from the birds, especially since our eyes are peculiarly sensitive to greens. HOTEL FLANDOMK. ules, are gray. As these barbuies wear off. the barbs with their color become more exposed and the feathers apparently get brighter. Thus the red finches (the purple finch, house finch, and redpolls) apparently brighten as spring advances. Thus the summer tanager male remains red throughout the year. and so do the cardinal, the purple finch, the pine grosbeak, and the crossbills. The yellow evening gros beak never becomes gray like his mate, once he has acquired maturity, though the male goldfinch does. No one has yet advanced a satis factory explanation for these differ ences in seasonal styles among the males, but the inference is that the females are dully colored so as not to attract attention to the nest Usually the brilliantly colored males In this family never assist In Incubating the eggs, but even here there are exceptions, as in the and gros- black-heade- d beaks. Males of these birds not only sit on the eggs, but even break all rules of bird conduct by singing as they do so.

For their nest in the west. a pair oj enterprising l,os Angelet tparrowt selected an electric twitch bos which the owner immediately thut off to prevent electrocution. Two fledglings are shown above, in their novel nest. young are reared. Then the species becomes scarce, because grosbeaks are not so persistent about renesting as are some other birds. There is no one place in North America where all of the birds here a, mentioned can be found. The hepatic tanager, beautiful bunting, and Sharpe's seedeater, for example, are hot found very far north of the Mexican border. The lazuli bunting, black-heade- d grosbeak, western tanager, rosy and finch, house finch, green-backe- d Lawrence's goldfinches are birds ot the Pacific coast and the Rocky mountain region, while the grosbeak, scarlet tanager, and indigo bunting are primarily birds of the eastern United States. It is difficult to explain why each species has a restricted summer home when it is free to come and go as it pleases and often migrates extensively. It is still more difficult to explain how this whole group of birds got into North America originally. Certain of them, such as the tanagers, the cardinals, the blue, and black-headegrosbeaks, and the "buntings," have close relatives in Central and South America and none in the Old world. Hence, we feel that our species came originally from the south. pyrr-huloxi- rose-breast- USED PIANOS aaai Bamall Sli Plana. Goed Canditiea MI.M. Hea Serric Good Fin 1M Tea. Ca BaH Lake CHy.
