A Four Footed Bird.

There is four footed bird, the Opis-
thocomus cristatus, which has such
anomalies Of structure that it is i'm
possible to class it along with any 9TH
er family. It is one Of those survivors
which tell us of extinct groups of
whose past existence we would other
wise have remained forever ignorant.
These, the only species of four footed
birds, inhabit the island Of MarajO in
the lower Amazon. 1t is only during
infancy that this remarkable feature
of these birds is seen, the two fore feet
appearing early in the development Of
the embryo and continuing perfectly
formed for several days after hatch
ing, when they are gradually shed. 1t is
also known as the hoactzin or evil
smelling bird the flesh having an I'M
pleasant odor, making it unpalatable
to both man and carnivorous animals,
which is probably one cause of it's sur
yiyal.

HOLSTERS Eggs.

A fair sized female lobster carries
10000 eggs at time. The eggs, when
extruded, are covered with a viscid
matter which, drawn out into threads,
attaches them to the long hairs that
fringe the fanlike tail of the mother.
These threads quickly become hard
and strong, the eggs waving about in
the water and being thus aerated.
When they are ready to be Matched, the
mother lobster oscillates her tail so as
to assist the offspring to escape.
The young at first resemble shrimps,
being about one-third of an inch in
length. They have bright blue eyes.
After few days they desert the moth
err and swim out into deep water,
where they rise to the surface and lead
a vagabond sort of existence for thirty
or forty days.
During this time the young ones
change their shells four times. On the
fourth occasion they shed their swim
ming organs and fall to the bottom,
where they remain for the rest of their
lives. During their existence as swim
mers most Of them are gobbled up by
fishes, for which they afford a favorite
food.

edible in ten days after sowing. Straw
berry vines bear fruit all the year. The
berries are of the finest favor.
Cabbage grows all the year, and it
apparently makes no difference wheth-

autumn or winter. Parsley once sown
grows forever apparently. Lima beans
continue to grow and bear for over a
year, and they have to be gathered
every week after starting to bear. Gu
cumbers bear the entire year, and so
do tomatoes, which, with proper at
tention, bear for years. Raspberries
bear for six months
Pineapples come into bearing when
the plants are four months old and bear
in abundance for years. Lettuce can
be planted at any time, and it develops
quickly. The same is true of celery
