Clever Birds.

The brilliantly plumcd birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and If they were not gifted
with queer yet useful instincts they
would certainly fall ready victims to
their enemies. Chattering monkeys
and big snakes steal and eat their
eggs, while their fcdglings are prcycd
upon by foes on every side.
But it takes sly monkey or snake
to get ahead Of the mother tailor bird.

he walked 400 miles into the depths of
Africa and had to count every step him

walked added about an inch to his route
