THE RHINOCEROS BIRD.
II Has Become . Cnrnivorous Animal
and Mutflatea Cattle.

and Mutflates Cattle.
The rhinoceros birds of Africa have
long enjoyed the reputation of being
friends of man by reason of the serv-
ices they render in Kidding cattle and
horses of insect pests. From the days
of lie valiant down to our own times
travellers have written in their praise,
and the account of these birds and
their habits is one of the brightest bits
of description in Millais' Breath From
the Veldt." In appreciation of their
good offices they were awarded special
protection at the international confer
ence on the preservation of wild ami
mails in Africa held in London last
May.
For some little time, however. it has
been doubted whether their usefulness
had not been overestimated or. at any
rate. whether the good they did was
not more than counterbalanced by the
injury inflicted by them on domestic
animals in probing and deepening ex-
listing wounds. These miSgivingS were
strengthened when Lord Phillips told
US how the Arabs detested the rhinoce
ros birds because they worried the
camels. and Hawker wrote of the So
tried to settle on the baggage ponies.
Now a much sraver charge is brought
against them. backed up by convincing
part of Africa.
Professor Ray Lancaster has just
published letter from Captain Hinde
of the British East Africa protectorate
In which that officer says that, owing
D. -, - -,
in Ukumbani by the cattle plague and
the eating up of the sheep and goats in
the famine. the birds were deprived Of
their accustomed insect food. In con-
sequence of this they have become car
nivorous and attack any domestic ami
NAL not constantly watched and pro-
tected. Captain Hinde asserts that
perfectly healthy animals have had
their ears eaten and holes tor. in their
backs and TANKS by these birds with
their large and powerful bills. This
categorical statement puts the altera-
ton in their feeding habits beyond all
possible doubt and shows. in the words
of Professor Lancaster, that they are
dangerous and noXious creatures" at
least in that part of the protectorate of
which Captain Hinde writes.
This change from insect food to the
flesh of living vertebrates Is paralleled
in the case of the kea parrots of New
Zealand, which formerly fed on the
grubs that lived in the woolly tufts of
a composite plant allied to the cud-
weed. Within recent years, however,
they have freQuented sheep stations
for the sake of the offal from the
slaughter sheds. Now they will kill
sheep for themselves, digging down
through skin and flesh till they reach
their favorite morsel. The change of
ha bits in the rhinoceroS birds seems to
have been brought about by the search
ty of their ordinary food and in the kea
parrots by the opportunity of procur-
ing new and toothsome food with com
paratively little trouble. In both cases
human agency plays an important
though indirect part, and the story of
the rhinoceros birds is one more in
stance OF the influence of civilized man
on a fauna strange to the conditions
which he brings in his train.-London

STATE v. c. C. DAIRY CO,
Supreme Court of Ohio.
April 10. 1900.


A STATE MAY, UNDER ITS POLICE
POWER, REGULATE THE MAN
UFACTURE AND SALE OF DAIRY
PRODUCTS.
The question in this case was the
right of the State to make certain laws
ms to the manufacture and sale of oleo-
margarine. From a judgment aginst
the Dairy Company it appealed.
The court says:
The question is, do the sections of
the statute quoted, or any of them, vio
late cur bill of rights, which guaran-
tees the right OF acquiring and pro-
tecting property, or do they in any
way violate the Constitution. as being
subvcrsivc of the constitutional right
and the enjoyment of property? In
other words, is it within the legislative
competency to establish regulations
for the prevention of fraud and deceit
in the sale OF articles of food? We
are of opinion that the question is not
an open one in Ohio. This court has
held again and again that the police
power OF the State is properly cXer-
cised In the protection of the people. in
all matters concerning their health
and that it is within the scope of this
power to regulate the manufacture and
sale of articles of food even though
the right to so manufacture and sell
is natural right guaranteed by the
Constitution.
In order to avoid misunderstanding
it may he well to here repeat what
substantially appears elsewhere.-that
there il no inhibition. under the laws
of Ohio, of the manufacture or sale of
Oleomargarine. The requisite simply
IS that it shall purport to be what it
really is. and shall not be so manufac-
tured and put up as to deceive the
consumer
Affirmed.
