kAkE SOUTH Amen.UAN BIRD
Seems to Be q Survival of the Period
When Birds Wero Evolved
from Reptiles.

Specimens of the hoactzin, one Of
the most remarkable birds in the world,
are being prepared by Nelson r. Weed,
CT the Smithsonian institute, for the
Ornitholosical exhibit at st. Louis, says
a Washington report.
The bird is one with which people Of
the United States are rot familiar. 1t is
a native CT Irazil and Guiana. The bird
seems to be a survival of the Jurasic
perioG, when birds were being evolved
from reptiles and mammals had not
made their appearance.
The archaeopetryX was perhaps one Of
the first birds evolved from the reptiles.
1t was contemporanecus with the phas-
colotherium, amphiterium and tricon-
don, three |diminutive marsupials, resem-
bling the modern opossunl, that also
branched off from the reptiles. The arch
%acopetryx had a tail, which, although it
bore feather> was more like that of a
lizard than that Of a bird. The wings
were relatively small and had three dig
its, each terminated with a claw. 1t is
more thar likely that this bird could not
only fly, bu! could also walk on all tours
n climb trees.
The arch aeopetryX had q toothed bill.
The beak Of the boactzin is d%enticulated
along the margin. The hoactzin is about
the size Of a Porto Rican parrot. The
eyes are surrounded by patches Of bare
skin, aid it has bristly lashes like those
Of the African kornbill. The head bears a
crest of feathers. In color it is olive green,
with a narrow whitish bar on the wings,
brown u~nderparts and a long tail tipped
with yellow. Its breastbone is unlike that
of any living bird. The keel, which is
highlydeTeloped in the breastbone of the
best flying birds, is cut away in front so
that the hoactzin flies poorly.
The absence of a keel to the breastbone
and the structure of the wishbone have
doubtless been the cause of the bird de-
veloping an enormous crop, which, un-
like that of other birds, is muscular and
seems to fill other functions than of
store house for food.
The strongest thing about the bird, how
ever. is that the young at the time they
are Matched have a thumb, tipped with
a claw, and the stories that the young
of the hoactzin are able not only to wall
on all fours, but also climb, mounting
the bush with the aid of this claw, are
strictly correct.
The hoactzin builds its nest in low
bushes along the banks of streams
where it feeds on the wild arum. Feed.
ing on this plant imparts TO the bird al
intolera BILE musky smell.
w. H. Bates states in his work, "Th'
Naturalist on the Amazon" that to hin
the odor Of the hoactzin was like tha
of "musk combined with wet hides
while Dsville said it smslied like a GOV
stable. The hoactzin is thoroughly dis
liked BY the people of Brazil and Guiani
IN account of its odor. its mischievous
prying habits 2Id harsE, grating, hiss

Japanese Wives Nonentities.

The position of the Japanese wife is
not that of equality with her husband.
He is the liege lord, to be cbeyed by
her in the most servile manner He
exacts from her the little attentions
that an American woman expects and
usually gets from her husband. With
out SO much as a murmur OF COM
plant from his spouse, who must al
ways receive him with bows and
smiles, and ever have herImind and
eyes on his comfort, he goes and comes
when he pleases. When he fares forth
socially he does not take her with
him; when he receives gentlemen III
his own house-a rare thing, by the
way-madame seldom presents herself,
unless in some mental capacity. And
while such a thing as conjugal love
must exist in Japan, it usually escapes
the notice of the foreign s~oiourner,
the people considering it vulgar to ex-
hibit emotion of any kind in public
Smart Set.

ORIGIN of the Mum.

The huff witl.1 first introduced was
The exclusive property of the nobility
and originated il Venice. These muffs
were very sma!i, ard consisted Of q
single piece OF velvet, brocade Or Silk,
lined with fur, and the openings fas-
tened with rich jewels. Such arrange
ments came in during the early part
of the seventeenth century, but in the
previous century the ladies frequently
carried a piece of rich fur, which they
used either as a muff or a neckpiece.

Camels Not Superseded.

Owing to heavy port charges at Beirut
and relatively high freight rates on the
Lebanon railway during the harvest,
some 1000 to COCO camels, each with a
burden of 500 pounds of grain, daily
