It is Peculiar to Itself.

The mechanism of the leg and foot of a chicken or other bird that roosts on a limb Is marvel of design. 1t often seems strange that bird will sit on a roost and sleep all night without fall ing off, but the explanation Is perfectly simple. The tendon of the leg of bird that roosts is so arranged that when the leg is bent at the knee the claws are bound to contract and thus hold with sort of death grip the limb around which they are placed. Put a chickens feet on your wrist and then make the bird sit down, and you will have a practical illustration on your skin that you will remember for some time. By this singular arrangement, seen only in such birds as roost, they will rest comfortably and never think of holding on, for it is impossible for them to let go till they stand up.-Pres- byterian.
