Dec&ptiogls of Wild Birds.

Falcons, hawks-,1the largest species
can compress their features and look
very slim if they think it necessary to
do So AS to the owls, they can hump
up into any position they think most
suitable. Tt is useless to look for these
self preserving traits in any Of the
family kept ia geological collections,
for the birds are SO accustomed to see
large numbers 'of people passing and
repassing or standing in front Of them
that they treat the whole matter with
perfect Indifference. They know that
at a certain time their food will be
brought them and that they are other
wise perfectly safe. Then the raptores
in q wild state have a bloom ON their
plumage like the bloom ON bunch Of
grapes which is not often seen when

Quickness Ts Relative.

How Odious and complicated. for in

The Coast Line of the Pacific.

Although the Pacific covers more

has an area estimated roughly 1T co.
G00,000 square miles. yet its coast line,
even including that of the Indian
ocean. is hut 1900 miles. or about
5000 miles less than that of the At
lantic The shores of the Atlantic are
very deeply indented by large seas, Of
which the Baltic and Mediterranean
are the most remarkable. Besides
these. the greatest lateral seas anu
CULTS in the Atlantic are the gulf OF
Mexico. Caribbean sea, Hudson bay
and the bay of Biscay. If we take
from the Pacific the Red sea. Arabian
sea and bay of Bengal. which are part
of the Indian ocean, we leave it with
remarkably straight coast line, with
the exception of few deep indenta-
tons on the coast Of Asia.
1t is owing to free Improvisation
of land and water and consequent ease
Of communication between one country
and another that the most civilized ma
tons of the world, with few excep-
tons, have lived and now live on the
shores Of the north Atlantic and its
lateral seas.
