the notes they utter amount to nothing
more than n warbling twitter, which the
males produce during the pairing sea-
son. They have remarkably large
breastbones, for the attachment of the
powerful wing muscles. 1t is reckoncd
that their wings vibrate as fast as 500
times In a minute. SO great an exer-
else OF muscular force as is involved by
such rapid movements calls for an am
pie supply OF blood, and this Is provided
for by heart of unusual size. The
actual flying speed OF the hummng bird

why Men Are Bald.

Fifty years ago 1t was an uncommon
thing to see young man with skating
rink on his head" said a physician
Now most men begin TO grow bald be-
fore reaching 40, and many have little
hair left at 80. This is due chiefly TO
the heavy head coverings now worn.
Did you ever see u bald-headed Indiani
The ancient Greeks and Romans went
much with their heads uncovered, and,
II we can depend upon the counterfeit
presentments OF them left to us, bald
ness was very rare among them. The
hat most injurious TO the hair Is the soft
felt. The heavy cap worn by many
Northern people is also great promoter
OF badness. The high silk, or plug
hat Is, perhaps, least injurious OF any
head gear now worn. / do not believe
that 1t was intended that the head
should have any covering but the hair
Badness Is the penalty we pay for per-
sistent violation Of the laws OF nature. y

Wales Went TO tn. Races.

Certain English papers are creating
quite a commotlon over the fact that
the Prince of Wales instead OF attending
the funeral OF Alfred Lord Tennyson
went to the Newmarket races. His
absence would be less noted had any OF
the royal personages been personally
present, but they were not. Surely in
an event OF such national Importance as
the funeral of a poet ifeate, and that
laureate Tennyson, the Prince. the
future bead OF the nation, might have
foregone a days sport to attend TO 9
days duty. Had 1t been the funeral OF

mean hypocrisy. but there could be no
such feeling In laying Tennyson TO rest
In Westminster. Tennyson was the
prince Of Anglo-Saxon song, and that
title he earned and did not inherit.

American Birds.
The, humming- birds constitute the
most remarkable feature of the bird life
of the New World. They have no repre-
sentatives In any other part OF the
earth. About $40 distinct species are
now known, while others are being
brought to light with almost every fresh
collection made in Mexico, Central
America, or the higher lands OF South
America. They are most numerous in
mountainous countries. their center of
abundance being among the Northern
Andes, between the parallel OF 10 de-
grees north and south OF the Equator.
The great focus of this fcathered fam
hundred species are found, over half OF
them being peculiar to that country.
Colombia has about one hundred species,
and Peru and Bolivia together have
ninoty-siS known species. In the
United States only seventeen species
exist, the Valley of the Mississippi and
all the States east OF that river possess
ing only single kind of humming- bird.
The geographical distribution of hum
ming-birds Is very interesting, some
species having widely extended range,
while others are confined 10 single
mountain peaks or valleys. One group
OF them frequents the darkest and most
retired parts OF the forests of Brazil,
from which fact they have come to be
known as the Hcrmlts.
The nests OF humming birds are
among the most beautiful examples OF
avian architecture. They are usually
made very compact most OF them cup
shaped or turban shaped, the materials
composing them being chiefly plant
down, interviewer with and strength

them is great for ornamental purposes.
Dealers, mostly Frenchmen and Belgi-
ans, have establish I'd themselves in
many cities of South America for tho
sole object OF buying and exporting
humming- birds. From Santa Fe dc
Bogote alone many thousands of skins
are annually sent to London and Paris.
The Indians readily learn the art
of skinning and preserving them,
and, because of the exceptional
profits to be got 10y this industry. they

the labyrinths of the web in search OF
entangled flies, where sometimes there
Is scarcely room for his little wings to
perform their office, and the least devi-
alton would entangle him in the COM
plex intricacies OF ropes and gnys. On
the approach OF the angry owner, the
robber shoots off like sunbeam.
1t used to be supposed that the brill
liant hues OF hummlng- birds were due
to pigments, but it Is now known that
they are attributable tn the structure of
the feathers. Each feather, when mi-
nutely inspected, exhibits myriads OF lit
tie facets 80 disposed as to present so
many angles to the Incidence OF light,
which is thus dlffracted or broken up
into vivid rainbow tints. In most
species the gorgeous coloration is pecu-
liar to the males, the females being, as
a rule, devoid OF refulgent hues and cr-
namental plumes. In only one species,
found in Jamaica, is the female more
beautiful than the male. The colors are
variously distributed in different species.
Some. instead OF having luminous
throats, have the halo Of radiance trnns-
ferred TO their crowns, which are blue,
violet, red. or green. Frequently there
is spot OF glittering emerald green on
the forehead. But no description In
words can give a notion OF the vivid
beauties OF the hummlng-bird which
