A EoCc Legged Bird.

Tho crested hoaZiu of British Gui-
ana, the only survivor Of race CT birds
which are known IS fossils, is described
in Tie Popular Science News. The
hoaZin irhabits the most secluded for
ests of South America, and its survival
beyond its congcrers is doubtless owing
to its retiring habits and the fact that
it feeds on wild arUm leaves, which
gives its flesh NEST offensive flavor,
rendering it unfit for food.
The chief peculiarly Of the hoazin
consists in the fact that when it is
Matched it possesses four well developed
legs. The young birds leave the nes,
and climb about like monkeys over the

French Boosbinders.

French craftsmen CT today, as far as
binding is concerned, fall naturally in
to two classes, those who still repeat
and adopt old models, and these who
ere bent upon seeking some new thing
The first consider that the right tradi-
lions Of ornament have been given oncc
and fer all and need only be followed
with ever increasing skill and technical
perfection. The second feel that new
departures are necessary if the art is to
respond to modern needs. The conserva-
tives restrict their ornaments to the
strictly traditional. Admitting no fur
ther novelty than that which consists in
fresh adaptations of the same tools, -
the rcforIneTs viii sooner get cut Of the
lines hitherto recognized as legitimate
than continue to work in the well
vorn grooves. 1t is the old opposition
between les classiques'' and ..les

history of France, and permeating, as il
