A striking example of protective coloring in birds has just been added to tho collection of tho Brooklyn In Btltuto M1180011) In tho iorni of a drongo shrike and n drongo cuckoo. The shrlko is a bird of pugnacious disposition, especially at the nesting season, when It guards Its nest with, for a small bird, great ferocity Doug las Dfwar. from whom this account Is taken, says that ho has watched a pair of these litte birds attack and drive away a monkey which tried to climb Into the tree In which their nest was placed. Indeed, so able a fighter Is Hie shrike that some other birds, notably orioles and doves, fre quently build their nests In the sain* tree In order to share the benefit of bis prowess The drongo cuckoo lays Its < >? gfl in Hie m sts of such birds as the king crow. These are pugnacious, even ferocious, und without some guile a cuckoo could not accomplish this feat. Hut the drongo cuckoo la so like tho drongo shrike, even having the same odd twist to its tail feathers, that the \ king crow la deceived by tho i . sem blance ;md hesitates to give flghl to what she lakes to be one of the pug. nacious 8hrlk< p. True to the Death. Not long since tho driver of the en gine on one of the Belgian lines of railway saw n larne dog on the road way but ween the metals.

Tho train passed, and at the next station It. was noticed that a part of a dress was clinging to the wheel guard. A mcssonger was sent back, when a dead child was found, which had evi dently fallen asleep, and whom the noble dog tried to protect to the \ery last, giving his very life sooner than flinch from his trust.
