been seen in this city for some seasons

If Miss GalIand was admired as Lady
Teazle, she is expected to command still

RESTING IN MIOAlR.
Faculty of PoisinE Possessed by
Some of the Largest Birds.


Some of the Largest Birds.
while never have seen it explained
In print" said one of the pathological
sharps of the zoo. lit is a wonder to
me persons should express amazement
at the ability of certain birds to hang
poised in the air without wing motion.
'It is a favorite trick of the great
condor. Away in the air, far beyond
the mountain tops. these birds hang
poised as motionless as if perched on
solid rock. True, their wings are out
stretched, but even through glasses not
the slightest motion is perceptible.
They remain in this position for many
! minutes, sometimes for an hour, max
ing careful scrutiny of everything be-
low them in their search for prey.
Then, with slight fitting of the wings,
they flap slowly away, or, having
found what they were seeking, dart
like a bullet toward it. The eagle,
hawk and other species have this same
faculty of posing apparently on moth
ing.
"These birds move about until they
meet an uprising current of mir. 1t
may come from Immediately beneath
them, from wind detected by striking
q cliff along the sea. or may come
from great distance, where a rush
ing wind struck the side Of q noun
tain and was turned upward. Being
on the wing most of the time in search
of prey, they have learned to utilize
these uprushing air currents for their
own purposes. Coming to one of these
and heading to the wind, they fix their
pinions at an angle which will permit
them to rest there and scrutinfze some
thing that has taken their attention
perhaps on the plain below. Thus,
while they seem poised on nothing, the
air current rushing upward buoys
them.
you see the same thing in mid
ocean when ships are followed by
focks of gulls, in some rare case clear
across the ocean. When the ships start
out the gulls fly here and there. some
times away OIL high and again skim
ming the surface of the water in
search Of food. AS the hours and days
pass they tire. and then you will see
them poise for rest on the air current
rising from the stern Of the ship. The
onrush Of IN ocean greyhound creates
a swiftly rising air current in it's wake.
This curls over like wave and rushes
into the vacuum made by the steamer,
and on it the gulls are carried along

OUR INSTINCT TO. CHEW.
1t Manifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.

Seeing that the maXillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise it should express
itself as powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function of feeding
at the breast peOvides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers Or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods. but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton Of the teeth. a truth indeed recog-
nized universally. whether by the prim-
tive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round the neck of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds among primi-
tive peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing Of the coarse hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us moderns, subsisting, as we
do. mainly on soft foods, affording but
little exercise for the masticatory ap-
paratus, it Goes not find its proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless it dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite. their
pencils and penholders. have known
child to gnaw through bone pen
holder much in the same way as a
carnivorous animal gnaws at bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing's
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice of gum chewing. SO common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from faroff times. for the primi-
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum, attributing to them nutrient
qualities, and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri. gum which eXudes
from the iIcens" busA.-Lancet.
