The origin OF the word "canard" CFrench
for duck) when used to signify some unbound
ed story, is not generally known. The fol
lowing are the terms in which NJ Guetclet
relates, in the iHnudtre de PAcddemte the
manner in which the word became used in a
new sense:
ITO give sky lift at the ridiculous pieces
of intelligence which the journals are in the
habit of publishing every morning. CCrne-
lison stated that an interesting experiment
had just been calculated to prove the extraOr'
binary voracity of ducks. Twenty of these
animals had been placed together, and one OF
them having been killed and cut up into the
smallest possible pieces, feathers and all, and
thrown to the other nineteen, had been glut
tonously gobbled up in an exceedingly short
space of time.
being chopped small like its predecessor
was served up to eighteen, and at once de
voured like the other; and so on to the last
who was thus placed in the position of hav
ing eaten his nineteen companions in won
dcrfully short time. All this, most pleasantly
narrated, obtained success which the writer
was far from anticipating for the story ran
the rounds of all the journals in Europe. II
then became almost forgotten for about q
score of years, when ii came back from
America, with amplfication which it did moi
boast Of at the commencement, and with q
regular certificate of the autopsy of the body
of the surviving animal, whose 9sophagus
was declared to have been found seriously in
jurcd. Every one laughed at the history OF
the canard thus brought up again, but the
word still retains its novel significance.

selves in training to borrow phrase from
