A despatch from Canadian Head- quarters in France (via London), says: .-Twenty-four hours of snowfall has changed the roads here into quag- mires, and greatly increased the transportation difficulties. It has• also caused a suspension of artillery activity, which had increased all along the front, and become violent at some points. The appearance of German "tanks" is possible in this area. The value of tanks in the German defence would enemy be considerable, and the y would doubtless conceal them as long as pos- sible.

Once satisfied with a nesting place,' birds are likely to return season after season to the sante location. They gen- erally appear suddenly and may take possession without any formalities. Last sealaon a wren took possession of a house before it had been placed one- half hour. One bird -lover claims that he has known a blue -bird _ to decide on a box before it was nailed in place. As soon as the owner's back was turned the bluebird entered and made himself at home.
