HOW BIRDS HIDE THEMSELVES
Magic Tricks Made Use of by Little
California Partridges.

California Partr idges.
Young birds have to be taught great
many things, but there are some feats
which they know without instruction.
n large open cage in the New York
geological Park is a covey of six Cali
fornia cartridges, about one-third
grown, and their little bantam step
mother, says the New York Tribune.
She dOZes at one end of the range or
walks slowly about, peckng among
the blades Of grass. The small sextet
keep close together. and if we watch
them for several minutes we will see
some Of the things which must have
come to them as their feathers
and little bills came-from the egg.
Unlike the hen, they are suspicious of
your every movement, but in a short
time they forget that you are not a
lifeless tree trunk or other harmless
object near their cage. They select a
sunny spot, always on the dead leaves,
never on the green grass, and here, af-
ter much cuddling and pushing. but
never peep. they squat usually in
an irregular circle with heads outward.
Unless there are dead leaves or some
similarly colored surface in their cage
they never settle down contentedly for
sun bath.
We watch them nestle close to the
ground and close their eyes; then some
movement on the part Of the hen may
attract our attention for moment, and,
on looking back again, we are amazed
to find the little birds have disappear
ed. 1t Is fact that IL we lose sight
OF them even for short time, the eye
at first refuses to distinguish them
from the dried leaves Their little
backs are dull. dark brown in color,
broken by irregular fine white lines,
very much like the mold lines on fallen
leaves, while the lighter sides of the
head, instead of being at all conspicu-
GUS, are exactly like the lighter shades
or some old leaves, the imitation being
more perfect from the fact Of the col
oring being thus broken up. Even the
little brush Of appraised feathers in their
heads-hints Of the beautiful recurved
helmets of the old birds-appear like
small, frayed-out pieces of grass or
leaf.
III we look toward them with half
closed eyes not trace of the birds is
visible. All appear sound asleep. and
the little heads sag drowsily to one side,
but at the slightest noise each black
bead OF an eye Is wide open. and six
scurrying pairs Of legs. or rounded
whirring wings. carry their owners to
tn farther side of the cage, as II
an unfelt wind had suddenly caught up
some OF the dead leaves before us and
tossed them along the ground. 1t is all
beautiful bit of magic. which never
becomes less wonderful. no matter
bow many times we witness it.
