A representation of a scene on this island, with specimens of the various principal kinds of birds that colonize there, shown as they would appear in life, is a feature of the hall of habitat groups of birds at Field Museum of Natural History.. ; ~â€"Walrus island is small and rocky. It has no vegetation except clumps of grass and aâ€"few plants. During the summer its bird inhabitants are crowded together like people in the most congested part of a great city. ‘The most numerous birds are the murres, similar in appearance to penâ€" guins, but not related to them. Of these there are thousands upon thouâ€" sands. â€" Among the other birds inâ€" habiting the island and shown in the museum‘s exhibit.are the redâ€"faced cormorant, â€" violetâ€"green â€" cormorant, horned puffin, Pacifit kittiwake, paroâ€" quet, auklet, crested auklet, glacous winged gull, tufted puffin, Sabine‘s gull, Pribilof sandpiper, Arctic tern and glaucous gull. : Almost every available spot is ocâ€" cupiédâ€"by some bird during the breedâ€" ing season, and thousands of murre‘s eegs may be seen lying about on the bare rocks.* These birds lay:a single éug â€"and make ho attempt at building %st. ~The jeggs are conical in sH@#E,;â€"which â€" prevents â€"them â€" from rolling over ledges. The cormorants and gulls, however, make nests, and the puffins and auklets deposit their eggs in holes and clefts in the rocks. The gulls frequently steal and eat the murres‘ eggs, and in the exhibit some of them are shown committing this form of pilferage. (g "s* The group is a gift from Stanley Field, president of the museum. It is the joint work of Leon L. Pray, taxidermist, and C. A. Corwin, artist, both of the museum staff.

The old Kenilworth village bell, which has not been in use for many years, has been donated to the Morâ€" gan Park Baptist church for a chapel which that church plans to build at Mt. Greenwood, Ill. Action to this efféct was taken by the Kenilworth village board at its regular meeting Monday night of last week. The bell has stood for some time at the side of the small building at the corner of Melrose avenue and Richmond road, which is used for various vil lage purposes. Before Kenilworth was furnished fire protéction by the Wilmette or Winnetka fire departâ€" ments the old bell was used as a fire alarm. â€" The automobile <speeders need not endanger their lives, merely because it is ceontrary to law to run too fast.
