The SONG of the Grouse.

Certain birds when the period of
courtship comes round repair to par
ticular trysting places and announce
their presence there by we'll known
calls or signals.
the ruffled grouse, as every one
knows, seeks an old log or other con-
venient perch and drums with his
wings, hint to any lady grouse with
in hearing that "Barkis is willin'."
The performance of the grouse is
one frequently heard, but compare
lively seldom seen, and for many
years there were numerous conflict
ing theories concerning the means by
which the drumming was produced.
Some said that the sound was vocal,
and others declared that the grouse
struck the log with it's wings. Even
today the precise cause Of the sound
is not known, for, although the bird
has been closely watched, its wing
movements are so rapid that it is next
to impossible to tell exactly what
takes place. This much, however, is
known: During the performance the
grouse stands upon the log or other
perch and strikes the air in front of
his body somewhat after the manner
of an elated barnyard cock. The first
few strokes are measured, but they
become faster and faster until the in
dividual thumps are lost, as in the
rolling of a drum Whether the
sound is due entirely to beating of the
air or whether it is increased by the
striking together of the wing tips is a
question yet to be settlcd.-Hartford
