belonging to the landlord of an inn, and carried his friendship so
far as to accompany his ally in little hunting-expeditions. In these
affairs the two comrades used to kill an astonishing number of hares,
rabbits, and other game, each taking his own share of the work. As soon
as they came to a covert, the raven would station himself outside,
while the dog would enter the covert and drive out the hares from their
concealment, taking care to send them in the direction of the watchful
bird. On his part the raven always posted himself close to one of the
outlets, and as soon as any living creature passed within reach, he
would pounce upon it, and either destroy it at once or wait until the
dog came to his assistance, when by their united efforts the prey was
soon killed. Rat-hunting was a favorite sport of these strange allies,
and it was said by those who witnessed their proceedings that the raven
was even more useful than a ferret would have been."
Captain McClure, the Arctic voyager, says that the raven is the
hardiest of the feathered tribe, and even in the depths of winter, when
wine freezes within a yard of the fire, the bird may be seen winging
his way through the icy atmosphere, and uttering his strange, rough,
croaking cry, as unconcernedly as if the weather were soft and warm as
springtime.
In captivity the raven is an exceedingly amusing, although
mischievous creature, and displays a talent for the invention of
mischief which is only equaled by its rapidity of execution. Except
when placed in an inclosed yard where there is nothing that is capable
of damage, "a single raven will get through more mischief in one hour
than a posse of boys in twelve, and as he always seems to imagine
himself engaged in the performance of some extremely exemplary duty,
and works his wicked will as methodically as if he had been regularly
trained to the task, and very well paid for it, he excites no small
amount of rage on the part of the aggrieved person." He readily learns
to speak, and retains many sounds which he has once learned.
The raven is nowhere abundant in Illinois. According to Mr. Nelson, it
was formerly a not uncommon resident in the northeastern portion of the
state, but now occurs only in winter and is rare. It frequents the sand
hills along the lake shore from the last of October until spring. In
winter they unite in small flocks and move from place to place.
WILD FLOWERS OF MAY.
President Marsh, in his report to the commissioners of Forest Park,
Springfield, Mass., for 1899, mentions the following wild flowers as

botanical names:
WHITE BLOOM.
Star flower. Canada Mayflower. Shepherd's purse. White violet.
Solomon's seal. False Solomon's seal. Bellwort. White baneberry. Wild
strawberry.
YELLOW BLOOM.
Yellow violet. Common cinquefoil. Golden cup. Dandelion. Watercress.
PINK BLOOM.
Twisted stalk. Wild pink.
ORANGE AND RED BLOOM.
Lousewort.
BLUE AND PURPLE BLOOM.
Blue violet. Forget-me-not. Wild geranium. Ground ivy.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Jack-in-the-pulpit. Wild ginger. Wild pink azalea. Japanese hybrids.
American rosemary. Parkman's crab. Flowering apple. Thunberg's
barberry. Ashberry. Japan ashberry. Bayberry. Leatherleaf. American
Judas tree. Golden chain. Japan weeping cherry. Siebold's double red
flowering cherry. Weeping wild cherry. Choke cherry. Wild plum. Sweet
fern. Flowering dogwood. Red flowering dogwood. Weeping dogwood. Red
osier dogwood. Siberian red osier. Sheep berry. Cranberry tree. Naked
viburnum. English wayfarer's tree. Common snowball. White thorn.
Pear-leaved thorn. English hawthorn. Japan quince. Chinese lilac.
Flowering peach. Buffalo berry. Wild rose. Sweet brier rose. Weeping

In the June number of BIRDS AND ALL NATURE we shall give the
flower shrubs which bloom in that month. The annual report of the
commissioners of parks at Springfield is a worthy example for others to
follow.
RICE PAPER.
The rice paper tree, one of the most interesting of the flora of China,
has recently been successfully experimented with in Florida, where it
now flourishes, with other sub-tropical and oriental species of trees
and shrubs, says the _St. Louis Republic_. When first transplanted in
American soil the experimenters expressed doubts of its hardiness,
fearing that it would be unable to stand the winters. All these fears
have vanished, however, and it is now the universal opinion that it is
as well adapted to the climate of this country as to that of the famed
Flowery Kingdom.
It is a small tree, growing to a height of less than fifteen feet,
with a trunk or stem from three to five inches in diameter. Its canes,
which vary in color according to season, are large, soft and downy,
the form somewhat resembling that noticed in those of the castor-bean
plant. The celebrated rice paper, the product of this queer tree, is
formed of thin slices of the pith, which is taken from the body of the
tree in beautiful cylinders several inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply the blade of a sharp, straight knife to
these cylinders, and, turning them round either by rude machinery or
by hand, dexterously pare the pith from circumference to center. This
operation makes a roll of extra-quality paper, the scroll being of
equal thickness throughout. After a cylinder has thus been pared it is
unrolled, and weights are placed upon it until the surface is rendered
uniformly smooth throughout its entire length.
It is altogether probable that if rice paper making becomes an
industry in the United States these primitive modes will all be done
away with.
GOOD UNCLE TO ANTS.
A kindly old English gentleman, Sir John Lubbock, Bart., is no more.
He is not dead, but has ceased to be a plain baronet, as were his
father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him. Now he is a peer
of the realm, and he is called Lord Avebury. The new honor, lately
conferred by the Queen, Sir John probably owes to his great services
in Parliament, for he is not only the owner of a big bank in London,
and a distinguished financier, but also a representative in the English
Parliament of the University of London. In both fields his work for his
fellow men has been such as to merit well an honor which all Englishmen
are supposed to desire.
But we in America shall always remember him not as Lord Avebury, but
as plain Sir John Lubbock, a man who probably knows more than any
other in the world about the habits, nature and instincts of insects,
especially of ants, bees and wasps, of which he has written more than
one interesting book.
* * * * *
What the world needs for its happiness is more work, more achievement.
Nature, which is never at rest, sets a superb example, not only of
unceasing industry, but of exquisite workmanship. For not a beetle
crawls along the ground but has a burnished back of ebony or jeweled
green; not a weed by the roadside goes to seed but hides its promise
of next year's blossom in a pod of fairy delicacy; not a spider-web
glitters in the sun that is not marvelous in its structure. If only the
world could be more conscious of "the Master of all good workmen" there
would be less heartache than there is.
"Some little nook or sunny bower,
God gives to every little flower."
A FLOATING SNAIL.
There is a small snail which is so fond of the sea that it never comes
to land, and it builds such a capital boat for itself and its eggs that
while large ships are sinking and steamers are unable to face the storm
it tosses about in perfect safety, says the Philadelphia _Press_.
The little snail is of a violet color and is therefore called Ianthina.
It has a small shell and there projects from the under part of the body
a long, tongue-like piece of flesh. This is the raft, and it is built
upon most scientific principles, for it has compartments in it for air.
It is broad and the air compartments are underneath, so that it cannot
capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to stow away its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soonest are placed in the center and the
lightest and newest on the sides of the raft. The Ianthina fills its
own air compartments by getting a globule of air underneath its head,
the body is then curved downward beneath the raft, and, the head being
tilted on one side, the air rushes in and fills the spaces. It feeds on
a beautiful little jelly fish, which has a flat, raft-like form with a
pretty little sail upon it, and they congregate in multitudes when the
sea is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed upon the northwestern coast of France,
and when they are handled they give out a violet dye.
EGYPTIAN TREES FOR AMERICA.
Here is a new kind of tree with which people in some parts of the
United States will probably celebrate Arbor Day after a while. In
Southern California, Arizona and some parts of Texas, and, generally
speaking, in the southwestern portion of this country, are great
tracts of land without a solitary tree. The government has at last
found a tree which it is believed will grow and thrive in these warm,
dry climates, and has imported seeds and settings with which to make
experiments. It is called the lebbek tree and is a native of Egypt. It
grows to a large size and has a thick foliage, with compound leaves
like those of the honey locust. The bark makes good dye stuff and the
wood is fair timber. One of the avenues leading to the great Pyramids
is lined with these trees for a distance of four miles. They form a
complete arch and the shade is so dense that no sun ever reaches the
roadway beneath. In India these trees are called the Siris trees. They
grow wild in the forest and their trunks attain a circumference of nine
feet.
Their adaptability to the dry sections of the United States was
discovered and reported upon by David G. Fairchild, one of the
explorers for the agricultural department at Washington. The lebbek
tree is a deep feeder and therefore is expected to thrive on the moist
subsoil found at great depths even in the American desert.
