A smouldering cigarette picked up
and carried by a sparrow to the bet -
try of the mete hall, on a university
of Valparaiso, sod., set fire to the
structure, and almost resulted In its
destruction. It was only through
strenuous efforts on the part of tbe
Are company and tbe' atgde•ts that
the building, an old landmark, was
saved. The belfry was used by a
large number of sparrows as a place
to build their nests. One of tbe Mu -
dents tbrew away a lighted cigarette,
and an tnqutsit:ve bird; searching
for something witb,wbicb to line bar
