THE SWALLOWS OF BRAZIL.
In Brazil there is a swaldow-house which will accommodate some hundred thousands of swallows. Years ago Companies found its market building was too small for its needs. The citizens hesitated to pull down the old place and dislodge the birds that made war on their insect pests, and so they built a new hall in the same square and turned the old one into the municipal birdhouse. When the birds migrate for the winter tie pla«e is thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and prepared in readiness for the return of the swallows.
