IL was some such vision that lured on
the wanderers in William Morriss poem
of the Earthly Paradise:
All. then it was indeed when first knew,
When all our widest dreams seemed COM
ing true.
And we had reached the gates OF Paradise
And endless pIiss, AT WHAT oHi'e1''i GU

Man sets his life.
Whether such Adventures succeeded, or
whether they sank in mid-ocean, matters
little now. But even in the sayannas or
the New World they would have fount
themselves as far as ever from the lana
If their dreams. The earthly paradise is
still TO seek. Yet some tribes or Indians
stilI believe In its existence. 1T Is a most
bIissful spot Of earth, and Inhabited by

Habits of the New Zealand Kea.

In the last pumber of the Zoolo-
gist Mr.. Taylor White gives some
interesting information about the
kea (Nestor notabilis), the New Zea-
land parrot that is so often cited as
an example Of a graminivorous bird
that is capable Of becoming carniv-
orous, and that has the reputation
of attacking sheep in order to con-
sumo the very delicate fat that sur
rounds their kidneys. Mr.. White
lives in New Zesland and has been
able to make close observation OF
the bird under consideration.
According to him, the kea lives
mainly upon lichens and not upon
fruit and seeds, for il is found only
at distance from and outside of
forests, upon rocks and bare ground.
In captiv ty it eats bread aud meat.
It's very powerful bill permits it to
gnaw the strongest wooden bars OF
cage. AS for its carnivorous habits,
Mr.. White says: Toward 1861, sheep
were introduced, and some years
afterward it was observed that a
certain number OF them were dying,
and upon the back of these, behind
the shoulders, or at the level of the
kidneys, a wound was perceived.
At the end Of some time it was
discovered that the offender was the
kea, which always preferred animals
with a long fleece, as it could obtain
better hold on these with its claws.
1t never seems to seek grain or
meat, has never been seen around a
dead animal, and the probabilities
are that it drinks blood. What has
been said Of the kea, then, is prob
ably true; it attacks sheep. But it
i is naturally csrnivorous, for to the
fruit and seed that it may meet with
it adds insects. 1t has not, then,
changed its diet in adding the sheep
to it's bill OF fare, has simply extend
ed it's depredstions, 1t has general
lied.
