A Venom Gus Bird.

But one species OF venomous bird Is
known to the student of ornithological
oddlties-the Rpir N'Doob, or "Brd of
DEATH teathered paradox of New
Guinea. 1t is not large or formidable
looking creature, as one would naturally
expect, being scarcely as large as q COM
mon pigeon, but longer and of more
slender build. 1t is OF q gray, glossy
color without any special markings. ex.
cept the tail, which ends with blood
red tip. The bird is comparatively
helpless, being bile to fly but few feet,
and can be caught without difficulty /;
however, it is unnecessary to say that its
poisonous bite causes the native Papuans
to let it severely aloae. Persons bitten
by the creature are seized by maddenins
pains, which rapidly extend tc every
part of the body Loss of sight, con.
yulsions and lockjaw are the other symp.
toms which follow in rapid succession.
The natives say that there is not case
on record OF survival of the bite, there
being no antidote, death always ensuing
within the short space OF two hours

spirit of our time TO lead the inventor to
the conjecture that man might ride on
but two wheels. In its social importance
the bicycle deserves t. rank next to the
railway and the Telegraph, among the

have a very keen sympathy with his

cutIy slight differences IN the condition
OF the roadway may greatly vary the
amount OF strain which is put upon the
propcllinG agent. Whcn, however, hi,
own thcws are employed, every little ac.
cident OF the way makes a distinct i'm.
press on his body. Thus every cyclist
becomes critic of the highways he

is adopted, it shonld be of lighter cloth, cord

At length through an opening in
