MURDERERs AMONG BIRDS.
Young Ones Confined in Cage Arc
Poisoned by the Male
Parent

A gentleman who travels much in
Central America tells an interesting
story about his experience with trop-
ical birds. To put It in his own
words, he says: IN cleaning up the
site 10 build the railroad station az
Sonsonate in the republic Of FL Saliva
dor, left standing a tree called the
tempisque, which was, and is still, the
fsyOrite nesting place for several
kinds Of birds. With the aid Of q lad
der one day I secured from the nest
some young sinsontes knocking birds-)
Fearing that l could not secure the
right kind Of food for them, ! made a
rough cage and put them in IL I
placed il where the parents Of the
little csptfyes could take care Of their
young ones, which they soon did with
all the soIicitude ] expected.
Excepting the shelter Of the wings
Of their progenitors, and liberty =
fly freely in the air, I think they en-
joyed every inducement 10 grow strong
and be happy in their comfortable
prison. Perhaps the impossfbility Of
getting into the cage made the parent
| birds more affectionste and assiduous
/ in their visits. When the breeding
time arrived, I watched the expectant
mother birds gathering feathers. moss
/ and other material with which 10 build
| their nests. One Of my poems remarked
/ Boss, you better bid adieu 70 your
chicks; their daddies are going to get
/ them poison from The brush His r.
/ marks made ne think Of what I had
read in natural history at school, that
when the African swallow emigrates
10 Europe the inFalids and the very
/ young birds which cannot accompany
them are poisoned Still I did not be-
/ lieye that the parents Of ny young sin
sontes could Be so cruel OF so wise as
70 kill ny brides. Yet, q few days
/ after, I had the SORROW 10 find one Of
my moeking birds stone dead took

certain the nature Of the poison

a joke on me. 1 had 70 abandon the

stomach of each / found remains Of
the swollen pink butterfly Then
instructed ny poems TO catch some but
terfies, which I fed to the wild mock
ing birds, and had occasion 70 OBJ

pink ones These birds were free and
wild ones and had an instructive dis
cretion which made them reject the in

Male Fish Raises Young.

The new man. in his role of nursery
maid, has long been in evidence in GER
tain piscatory families. The males
of the strengthening pipe fishes take
charge of the eggs, which are given
them by the female parents, and nurse
them in a special pouch on the under
side of their own bodies. 1t seems
that the male and female fishes inter-
Irvine their bodies in the form Of a
double letter S. and that in this posi-
ton the eggs are pressed from the
mother to the pouch of the male. All
the eggs are not transferred at once.
After a first transferrence all the egs
are in the upper part of the pouch,
where no more can be received until
these are shaken down into the lower
end. These processes are repeatd I'M
til the pouch is filed. In about ten
days the young pipe fishes are
Matched.

VALUE OF sNAILs AS FOOD
About 100 Per Cent More Nutritious
Than Oysters, Says Med
ical Authority.

A dish Of snafls is hardly ever seen
in this country, although in Spain and
in France this mollusk is a fairly COM
mon article IF food among the poor.
while it is held in great esteem BY the
gourmet when Il is stewed and gar
nished with herbs and condiments,
says the London Lancet The sugges-
ton that the snail should form q cheap
article Of food in this country has been
revived and there Is nothing 10 be said
against the proposal from a dietetie
point OF view. for properly cooked. the
snail is both nutritious and tasty.
II, however, the suggestion were serf-
ously acted upon. We fear that the
supply in this country would prove TO
be short OF the demand But doubtless
the snail could be cultivated as is the
oyster when it was found that it had
gained a considerable patronage The
snail has indeed been called the poor
mans oyster" though We do not re-
member 10 have seen II eaten raw. We
know, however, that it makes an ex-
eellent fish sauce and may be used for
| the same purpose as oyster sauce.
l Possibly also a few snails in a steak
/ and-kidney pudding would increase
the tastiness OF this popular food.
Care must be exercised in the choice
sf the snail for food purposes, as it is
/ well known that snails feed on poi
sonOus plants, and il is the custom in
/ France 10 allow a few days TO elapSs
after they have been taken from their
feeding ground in order that any poi
sonous matter may be eliminated
Most Of the snails in France used for
edible purposes are collected from the
vineyards OF Burgundy. Champagne
and Lorraine. which, We may be sure.
afford perfectly clean feeding ground
for the snail considering the cara
which is taken TO protect the vines
from disease.
According to analysis, very nearly
90 per cent OF the solid matter of the
snail is proteid matter available direct
" for repairing the tissues Of the body.
Beside this. there are about six per
cent. of fat and four per cent. Of min
eral matter, including phosphates.
Compared with the oyster, this would
show that the snail contains about 100
per cent. more nutritious substances.
The suggestion. therefore. that the
snail should be used for f7od is not
merely sentimental.
