A Bird’s Nest of Steel.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure in Switzerland, there is a birds’ nest made entirely of steel. There are a number of clock-making shops at Soleure and in the yards of these shops there are aften found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day a clock maker noticed in n tree in his yard a bird’s nest of peculiar appearance. Examining it, he found that a pair of wag-tails had built a nest entirely of clock springß. It was more than four inches across and perfectly comfortable for the birds.
