Various theories have been advanced
in explanation of why should the cuckoo
alone among birds delegate the duties Of
motherhood to "A bird of another species.
Only one of these theories, however, Is
worthy of attention. Richard Jeffries
was Of opinion that the cuckoo did not
rear it's own young, because the task of
feeding three or four young cuckoos was
more than any single pair Of birds could
accomplish. The incredible voraoity Of
the cuckoo, he says. cannot be oomput-
ed. The two robins, or pair Of hedged
sparrows, In whose nest the young cue

The men who follow pugilism in this

next man to put against Jim Corbett-

from him. There are only two men, of
course, who are seriously considered,
jackson and Fitzsimmons, and the latter
has. II anything, the larger following.
Recent reports about Jackson's health,
whether they be true or not, have had

the question, there are those who argue
that Peter has not learned anything
more about the game since he fought
Corbett, while the latter is greatly i'm
proved, and he is older and not so
speedy as the champion.
Doubts as to Corbetts ability TO hit
hard have been largely dispelled, too,
and 1t was also demonstrated yesterday
that he would not quit at punch, as
some misguided ones thought. These
things have brought a good many around
to the opinion that Jim is Peters supe-
