BIRDS AND THEIR TAILS
SOME WITH LONG FEATHER APPEN
DAGES-SOME TAILLESS.

The ornithological department of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History has recently
been engaged in mounting two pairs OF domestic
fowls, lately received from japan. which have
the longest tails of any feathered creatures
known, not excepting even the peacock. The
birds arrived as rudey stuffed skins, with the
tails done up in bits of Japanese newspaper. the
printing on which was more of d mystery to the
scientific men of the museum than were the
wonderful caudal appendages tn protected.
These birds are bred in the province of Tasso,
, Japan. Some of the secrets of raising these
fancy fowls jealousy guarded by the breed
ers. The breed has been known in Japan for
about a century, but it is said that the species
is yearly becoming more rare, and that its eX-
tinction is feared. tradition in Tasso ac-
credits the origin and development of the species
to competition for prize offered by japanese
prince whose crest a feather.
There are four varieties one having white
head and body feathers and black tail feathers;
one being a pure white, with yellow legs; one
having a red neck and red body feathers. with a
black tail. and the fourth having reddish
over color mixed with white body feathers and
long black tail feathers The finest specimens
have tail feathers about twelve feet long, al
| though some have been grown with eighteen
foot tails.
A red and black cock with a black tail more
received by the museum. A white and black
cock with tail about nine feet in length, how
ever is in the unmounted state more attrac-
tive although his tail, like some wOmenS front
hair at early breakfast, is still in papers. The
accompanying hens have thick, straight, SUN
| tails about foot in length. They are dark
coored with strong tendency to game bIru
colors.
The museum has received from TaSso some
! interesting information about the habits and
care of these fowls. They are reared in tan
cages open only the top, their tails hanging
| down. They sit on fiat perches near the top
| of the cage and are exercised every second day

On the Pennsylvania side Of the river Mr..

three seventeen survived. In the first year Of

estimate there are now about two thousand deer
