LETTER in The Royal Society archives from Bernard O Connor to
Sir Charles Walgrave , published around 1740 in Paris, giving an
account of a human skeleton that looks like it had been carved
from a single piece of wood , the backbone was solid without
joints, only part of it was available, if the rest was similar
the person would be a semi circle , the bones were found in a
churchyard and appear to belong to an old man. Another Paper by
the Royal Society written in 1787 by Mr Jenner describes the
Cuckoo in Glostershire from arrival about 17th April and leaving
first week in July. No Cuckoo eggs could be found before middle
of May. They put their eggs in nest of hedge sparrow, water
wagtail, tit lark, yellow hammer, green linnet and whin chat,
they generally put them in the nest of the hedge sparrow. A
single cuckoo always remains the sole occupant of the nest, even
two cuckoos are in a nest one throws out the other, He made
several experiments and observations including putting discarded
chicks back into the nest and finding that the cuckoo loses
ability to dump chicks as it gets older and also found that he
could hatch an egg under the young cuckoo. Open Access Royal

CHRIST: “He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled
with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends,
needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer. His
strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that
we lose sight of His secret intimacy with the Father, out of
which came all its beauty, all its power” G. H. Knight.
