Birds of many curious kinds are
found in Australia which cannot be
found anywhere else One of them is
the bower builder, or walk builder, as
it is called. It builds a long walk or
bower with grasses and sprigs,
then collects all sorts of little things
to decorate it. Gaudy feathers he
likes particularly for this purpose, but
he docs not disdain shells, bleached
bones, a pipe bowl, a penknife, or any
small object that he can find. So well
is his propensity known, that when
lose such things in bush
generally find them in the bower
bird's walk. It is evident that the
bird takes thorn purely as ornaments,
for he entirely on seeds and fruit.
Another noteworthy bird native to
that far off land is the lyre bird. He
can not only imitate the notes of all
other birds, but also nearly every
sound made by man. Settlers are
often deceived by him, and many
amusing stories are told. Sometimes
a man working on his clearing hears
somebody chopping wood a short dis-
away, and a dog barking at his
heels. He goes in search of in-
and finds after a long walk
that lyre bird has been making
game of him. A man using a cross-
cut saw hears somebody doing the
same thing, and after searching
successfully for him, discovers that it
is the Times.

possessed by a dread that Mrs.
who was supposed to
have been drowned at sea, may turn

to light the gas, and a momentary
summons to supper was expected, that
