brought into use alternately, together
acting like screw-propellcr in steam
er. and enabling the bird to swim very
swiftly. The penguins love the noisy
surf and the boisterous ocean, but some
times. during n very hard storm, they
will seek temporary refuge from the
tumult by diving down into the water
to depth that no tempest can disturb.
Penguins spend few months in every
year on the rocky islands where their
eggs are laid, and here the young birds
are reared. The nests are on the ground,
which Is sometimes followed out little
by the birds, though frequently shell
tered nook by n rock is selected.
The nests being SO shallow, the birds
have had to use their reasoning facul-
ties in order to preserve their eggs If
the eggs were laid upon the ground, the
rain would spoil them; SO, centuries ago,
really bright idea came to certain of the
cleverer fowls, which commended itself
to every bird who learned it. This was
to cover the hollow first with layer of
stones and shells which would support
the eggs above the reach of water; and,
to make soft bed, layer of grass and
of leaves of the Pringlea-a coarse, cab
bage-lille plants spread over the
stones.-St. Nicholas.

a Southern Bird of Great SIzo Which Is
Almost "a Quadrupcd.
Ear away in n southerly part of the
southern hemisphere are Il number of
rocky, barren islands seldom visited by
man. Now and then Il ship cruising in
quest of seals or whales touches at one,
but they arc SO dreury that nobody
cares to stay long or to become ac-
quainted with the inhabitants.
For these lonely islands are inhabited,
and those who live there like the place
So well that no inducement you could
offer would make them leave it-not of
their own free will.
The inhabitants of which am telling
you, however, are not men, but huge
birds called penguins. They arc not
very unlike the aux, which found the
arctic circle as delightful and homclille
place to live in as the penguin finds
the antarctic. But the aux is nearly if
not quite extinct, for it has been hunted
industrously for many years; and now,
whenever eggs or bones, or even skins
are offered for sale they are eagerly
bought by museums at high prices. n
single aux skin was bought some years
ago for 1923 and presented as Il valuable
addition to q New York museum.
Naturalists divide pcnguins into three
classes: The liking" penguin, SO called
because it is the largest and strongest;
the 'jacllass" penguin, because when
disturbed it makes sound like bray;
and the "roclS-hoppcr, which receives
this name because, when it is on shore,
instead of waddling, it places it's big
feet close together and hops from rock
to rock.
The penguin is n very large bird
Standing upright, it would reach nearly
to II mans waist You can forla some
idea of the long strides it makes when
tell you that some painstaking natur-
alists measured the distance between
the impressions made by one of tic stiff
lcathcry wings, and found that they
were thrce-quartcrs of n yard apart.
These same paddlc-slapcd wings are of
great service in the water, for they are
