PROTECT THE INSECT EATING
BIRDS.

The first knowledge, through the
researches of science, OF any creature
In the shape Of a bird, is found in the
skeleton Of half-bird, half lizard,
discovered imbedded in the lime
stone OF the Jurassic formation, as
1T Is known, to geologists, who study
the laYHs of rock. as they lie one upor

another; forming the Eartfi.
This bird-like thing has been named
the archaeopteryx, in English, the ar
cient- wing. In the Jurassic layer of the
the Earths crust are also found hume
rous remains of a flying reptile, which
much resembles the bird-lizard, the
ancient-wing. The bird-shape has
lived on to the present time; the liz
ard-form has never, to mans knowl-
edge, been seen by man.
The bird-lizard type, was more bird
than lizard, and, the lizard-bird form.
was more lizard than bird.
Science has fixed, by the ages of the
rocks, in which the Skeletons are
found, (the time, when the bird, as we
know it, began 10 throw of the lizard
shape, to be somewhere between
100000 and 1,O00,0 900 years ago.
This bird-lizard, the ancient-wing,
was somewhat larger than our COM
mon crow, had two feet, with three
toes on each foot, sharp teeth on both
its upper and lower bill and strong,
sharp claws, like eagles talons on
the main joints of its wings. and, it
had a many jointed tail. as long as it's
entire body, out of each joint Of
which grew two strong quill-feathers
1T right angles with the tail.
In the ancient-wing, science teach
es, all bird-life began.
Than birds, of all the things that
breathe, of all that work for the good
of man, the farmer has no greater,
nor more industrious friends.
Were it not for the birds of the air,
the thousands of different kinds OF
insects, laying myriads Of eggs, which,
as it is now, cause millions Of dollars
of loss each year, would totally destroy
all vegetation, and, mankind and all
the higher orders OF animals. would
die, from starvation and disappear
from the face OF the Earth, and, the
Earth would then become, as before
the creation of man, but an uninhabi-
ted orb, wandering in the infnity Of
space.
If total destruction of bird-life
means the end of mans existence on
Earth, it takes no deep nor obstruse
argument to prove, that, the more
feathered life, is protected and the
more bird-life increased. the more
complete will become the condition
of man. If, with the insect-eating
birds, we now have; be, who feeds the
world. the farmer, manages to grow
fairly good crop, what sort Of crop
would he make, if the number of in
sect eating birds we're doubled?
What the laws Of South Carolina
are. in regard to the protection and
OF bird-life. we do not
know, but, II they do not already SO
provide, laws should be enacted oy
