An! ODD BIRD.
The Kiwi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable PecuItarities.


That queer bird. the kiwi, is a native
of New Zealand. Its remarkable pc
culiarities are, first, the apparent alb
sence Of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small, rudimentary, stick
like appendage Of a wing that none
whatever is apparent The situation
of the nostrils at the bills extremity
is second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms it probes the
soft ground, making a continual snuff
ing sound Thus the scent Is evidently
of great help in finding food and the
reason for the position of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third peculiarly is the very dispro-
portionate size of the egg in compari-
son to the bird, it being a little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwrs egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(siSty-four ouncesl and was about the
size of an ordinary hen.
The plumage of the kiwi is a dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles n miniature hay
shock. rather badly hacked off at the
rear part as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as a tail
The absence OF wings is compensated
for by its swiftneSs Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body

They Can Change Color and Drop
Their Tails at VIII.
The green lizards which swarm on
every tree certainly have the hardest
life Of any creatures in Barbados, since
their flesh IL so delicate that every
thing eats them which can catch them.
Cats. fowls, birds. monkeys and snakes
all devour the poor lizards. which have
only two methods OF defending them
selves. both very inadequate for the
purpose One is their power of chang
ing their color. whereby they can APP
pear bright green at one moment on
the leaf of an aloe and then dark choc-
olate brown on piece Of damp earth.
If this does not conceal them from
their enemy they drop their tails. The
caudal appendage jumps from the
ground and makes a frantic dance all
by itself, and if the pursuer is delud-
ed into Selling 1t the lizard avails it
self of the chance to escape and grow
another tail.
For the rest the poor lizards are
harmless things. with pathetic eyes, in
which turks an expression of weari-
ness and disillusion, as though they
| were as old as the world itself and had
found it all vanity and vexation of
spirit. They are fond Of plaintive mu
sic and will enter at the open windows
when piano is playing and sit listen
ing and nodding their queer fat heads
| and looking out of those wfstful eyes
at the player till he or she, if of an i'm
aginative temperament, might fancy
she were playing to an audience of
| transmigrated souls.-Chanbers' Jour,

She couldn't make a custard pie,
Nor bake a loaf OF bread.
Nor put q wash out on the line,
Nor sweep. nor make bed.
She couldn't boil potatoes right,
Nor just plain hash prepare,
Nor turn Il plate of toast out crisp
Nor cook q beefsteak rare.
Not one OF these was in her line:
She wasn't built that way.

The present or first drainage district
comprises all of st. Lucie county south

tablished by the commissioners with
out any expressed desire by the people

them to establish similar districts when

provement, why not good roads? The
Trustees Of the Internal Improvement
Fund, on January the 4th, 1905 had in
cash about $379, 900. 90. This amount OF
money should have been appropriated to
good roads throughout the State, rather
Than wasting It in the Every adss. Had
the Trustees complied with the require
ments of the law every county in the
State would today be enjoying the BEN
efits of good roads; had the Trustees
complied with the law the Legislature
of 1906 would not have placed upon the
statute books the drainage law which
shortly after its passage was pronoun-
ced unconstitutional by the courts
Had the Trustees complied with the law
the people would have been better off
to the tune of several hundred thousand
dollars which has been expended in UNI

Fellow citizens, pass this amendment
and you engraft into the constitution OF
your State piece of legislation vicious
in its nature and not in conformity with
the teachings and practices of our DEM
ocratic government. Pass this amend

solute power, and unlimited authority;
not required by law to render an ac-

conferred by the Athenians on their

therefor the doctrines enunciated and

Bob hicNama On Draina6.

On Tuesday last, the first day OF
Circuit Court, Bob McName took up
nearly all of the afternoon in speaking
in favor of Gov. BrOward's pet scheme,
draining the Everglades. We listened
attentively al this fOwery orator went
through his various phases: Among
other things he said the l., a N. rail-
road or the A. C.. l.. had no suit pend
ing as regards their lands; that the
Times Union and the Bureau OF In
formation, in fact, the entire opposi-
ton knew this to be untrue; that the
railroads were given each alternate
section for six miles, and he charged
that some one was putting up for this
combined fight for Broward's scheme,
and so on, at great rate. The Hon.
Robert McName, of course, Is making
this fight for the good will he has for
the dear people and Broward; our Bob
is known in nearly all sections OF the
State for his .philanthropic feelings
toward mankind.
AS to draining the Everglades, the
Star is unalterably opposed to the
trick First, the State does not need
this land for cultivation, admitting 1t is
as good as ita advocates claim, then we
feel as though the title should be abso-
lutely clear before the peoples money
should be spent. Broward nor any of
his henchmen ever tells what is the ex-
pected cost.
The opposition has shown and no one
disputed 1t, that the cost will be from
three to twelve million dollars, and does
any one believe that the drainage dis
trict that the advocates claim will be
the only taxable property for this
| scheme, at cents per acre, will raise
this amount Of money! Another dan
georous feature that has not been ex-
planned is The time it will take to COM
| plete this work.
The secret of the whole proposition
| is to fasten q political machinery on
the State that will control ats policies
for generations to come, and all through
these years rising generations will be
paying taxes to keep this project
going. Does any one believe, after a
million or more has been spent and all
resources exhausted, that the Drainage
| Board will not enlarge (by statutes en-
acted) their rights, and in so doing tax
largely the entire State in order to go
on with this scheme? They will be in
absolute control and will naturally keep
friends of their project in Office.
Ben Tillman,s dispensary Of South
| Carolina will not be a circumstance to
Broward's scheme IL Il succeeds.
The Governor and his agitators, II it
were in their power to do so, would not
have this scheme come to close be-
fore the elections Of 1908, but they can
rest assured the hanging Of the Ever
glades maps, etc, on al the little
prairie horses that are ridden 70 the
country picnics will not set the people
as wild as It did in 1904 -Dade City
