The COcka toO's Nutcracker Bill.

There Is wonderful cockatoo in one
Of the islands of the Indian ocean, near
New Guinea. 1t is as large as a full
grown pheasant, and it is of jet black
color. The bird is remarkable for its
immensely strong bill and the clever
manner in which it is used. The bill
Is as hard as steel, and the upper part
has deep notch.
Now, the favorite food of this cocka-
too Is the canary nut; but there is Won
derful ingenuity required to get at it,
for the nut Is something like Brazil
nut, but 1t is ten times as hard. In
fact, it requires the blow of a heavy
hammer to crack it. 1t is quite smooth
and somewhat triangular in shape.
Nature appears to have given the
possessor Of the wonderful bill some
intelligence to direct it's powers, for
the cockatoo takes one of the nuts
edgewise in its bill and by a carving
motion of its sharp lower beak makes
small notch on it. This done. the
third takes hold Of the nut with it's
claws, and. biting off piece Of leaf.
retains it in the deep no<ch Of the up
per part Of the bill. Then the nut Is
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture of the
leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a
tiny piece Of the shell of the nut. The
bird then seizes the nut in its claws
and pokes the long sharp point Of its
bill into the hole and picks out the
kernel bit by bit.-Savannah News.

Rinehart'S Indian Pictures.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tri bes
Of Indians in this country to send
delegates to an Indian Congress, and
they gathered from far and near with
their ponies and tepees and gaudiest
trappings in the Exposition grounds
at Omaha. Never before had there
been and never again will there be
such gathering. There we're about
five hundred OF them, some partly
civilized, but the greater portion pic
turesQue in original sa vaeery. Strange
as it may seem at this late day many
uf the Indians declared that before
coming TO Omaha they had no idea
what multitudes OF white men there
we're or how hopeless it was to try to
stand against them. This was prob
ably the last time that so complete
and spectacular q view OF the North
American Indian will be pOssible and
those who had the privilege OF witness
sing it are to be counted fortunate.
At the time of the Indian Congress

the most noted chiefs present and
