A venomovs Bird.

But ore species of venomous bird is
known to the student of archaeological
oddities-the Rpir N Doob, or BIRD of
DEATH" feathered paradox of New
Guinea. 1t is not large or formidable
looking creature, as one would naturi
ally expect, being scarcely as large as
common pigeon, but longer and of a
more slender build. 1t is of gray,
glossy color, without any special
markings, except the tail, which
ends with a blood-red tip,
The bird is comparatively helpless,
being able to fly but a few feet, and
can be caught without difficulty; how
ever, it is unnecessary to say that its
poisonous bite causes the native
Papuans to let it severely alone.
Persons bitten by the creature are
seized by maddeniDg pains, which
rapidly extend to every part of the
body. Loss of sight, commissions, and
lockjaw are the other symptoms which
follow in rapid succession. The ma
tives say that there is not case on
record of the survival of the bite,
there being no antidote, death ensuing
within the short space of two hours

vent the importation from others. We
find others that to all appearance do not

innocent purchasers fruit trees infested
with injurious pests. The state board
wishes to make known to every purchaser
of nursery stock, large or small, that it is
not only his or her privilege. but their
duty to see o certificate of inspection prop
