SOME QUEER FRIENDSHIPS
Different Animals That Get Along Ver'
Wen with Each Other.


An intimate connection subsisting
between different animals is known
as commensalism, commesals being
creatures which may be said to SIT ~
the same table. but which do not prey
upon one another. OF late years nat
uralists have become acquainted WIN
numerous examples of this form OF
animal partnership. In one OF the
Chicken Islands, off the coast OF New
Zealand. a curious lizard, known as
the tuatura, and certain species or the
petrels were found inhabiting the
same burrows, apparently on the pest
Of terms. In rare cases the DuffOW'
which consists of passage two or
three feet long, one foot broad and SIX
inches high, is the work OF the plra.
As a rule. however, the lizard Is the
exeaYator. Each builds its nest on
opposite sides of the chamber, the
lizard almost invariably choosing the
left and the petrol the right side. Inc
lizard feeds partly on worms and bee
ties and partly on the remnants OF
fishes brought to their common table
by the petrol, both animals being thus
benefited by the partnership. This IS
probably more than can be said OF the
prairie dog, whose underground home
is frequently shared by the rattle
snake and the burroving owl These
were at one time supposed 10 form a
"happy family" but considerable
doubt has been cast on the point by
the discovery of young prairie dogs IN
the stomach of the rattlesnake, which
seems to indicate that commensalism
in this particular ease has been one
sided affair, so far as the benefits
were concerned.
It is among marine animals, how
ever, that the most striking examples
Of commensalism have been observed.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life to the powerful alli-
anees It forms. One of its fms have
been transformed into a sucker placed
right on top of its head, by means of
which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark. whale, or even ship. no
doubt mistaking the latter for some
huge sea monster. By these it is
transported without any eXerti0n on
its own part over great distances.
meanwhile picking up such food as
may come in its way.
Several small fishes have been found
also to habitually lodge in the mouth

The Trooner- stntterea

Howard X. Brown of Syracuse. y.
T., who was ia Porto Rico with Troop
A, First Cavalry. tells some clever
yarns about a fellow trooper who
suffered very badly.
one night while in the mountainous
district it was very cold This trooper
could not find any of his outer clothes.
So he went from one place to another.
asking if anyone knew where they
were
'H-h- has a-a-ny one s-s-seen m-my
blanket?"
He was told that no one had.
Has a-a-ny one s-s-seen m-my PIP

NO"
The trooper scratched his head for a
moment
"W-w-weu. I'm g-glad th-th-that I
h-h-haye g-g-got a w-w-warm p-p-pair
of s-s-sHsp-p-penders on"
Again he lost his carbine. He hunt.
ed high and low for it. but could not
find it. He put in his application for
a new one, but could not get it in time
for the inspection that followed
When the troop lined up he was the
only one who had no earbine. The
lieutenant saw the lack and glared at
him. making up his mind to make an
example of him, thinking that he had
been too late to catch up his gun.
Where the blankety-blank-b blank ia

"Lieut-t-tenant," said the trooper

Guard-mount must always be on the

who have been on duty. One morning
the trooper was two minutes late and
the sergeant called him down.
''N-n-neyer m-m-mind, s-s-ergeant."

A Touch of Blarner.

Nobody can pay prettier eompli.
ment than the Irishman, when he
chooses. His tongue and wit are never
nimbler than when he employs them
in the service of 'blarney."
A young professor from Dublin was
entertained over night by an American
professor at his summer home on tbe
coast of Maine.
At breakfast the next morning, the
little daughter of the house, who sat
next the young Irishman. saw with
amazement that he put no sugar in
his tea.
Wouldn't you like even one lump of
sugar in your tea?' she asked. solicit.
ously. My papa likes three lumps.'
''Since you have looked into tho cnr
my little, maid, the tea is quite sweet
enough" responded the young profes.
sor, gallantly.

The COckatOO'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 it's
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 it is ten times as hard. In
fact, it requires the blow of a heavy
hammer to crack it. 1t is quite smoo III
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 it's bill and by carving
motion of is sharp lower beak makes
small notch on it. This done, the
third takes hold of the nut with it's
claws, and, biting off a piece Of leaf,
retains it in the deep notch 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 SEXES the nut in its claws
and pokes the long sharp point of it's
bill into the hole and picks out the
kernel bit by bit.-Savannah News.
