PENGUlNS FEEDING.
The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.

The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.
The appearance Of the keeper OF the
penguins ut the ZOO with his pail OF
live gudgeon. is the signal for sudden
and intense excitement In the cages.
The penguins wave their little fiippefs
and waddle TO the door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading TO the pool. The cormorant
croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters polse their snaky heads
and spread their batlike wings. AT
the water's edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surfacs
like other waterfowl, but instantly
plunge beneath
change takes place. The slow, ungain.
ly bird Is transferred into swift and
brilliant creature, beaded with globules
Of quicksilver, where the air clings to
the close feathers, and flying through
the clear and waveless depths with
arrowy speed and powers OF turning
far greater than in any known form of
aerial flight. The rapid and steady
strokes Of the wings are exactly sim.
liar TO those of the air birds, while Its
feet float straight out level with the
body. unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed In its prog
ress as those Of wild duck when on
the wing
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation Of movement in the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax
alton Of speed In q submarine dight
which is quite as rapid as that Of most
birds which take their prey In usidRir.
In less than two minutes some thirty
gudgeOn are caught and swallowed be-
low water, the only appearance Of che
birds on the surface being made by
one or two bounds from the depths,
when the head and shoulders leap
above the surface for a second and
then disappear.
Any attempt to remain on the sur
face leads to ludicrous splashing and
confusion, for the submarine bird can
not float. 1t can only fly below the
surface. Immediately the meal u fin
ished both penguins scramble out of
the water and shuttle with round backs
and dropping wings back to their cage
to dry and dlgest.-London Spectator.

same. why not?" said the monkey
'Your beak win be the very thing. III
drill the holes in It through which you
can blow sweet music"
The crane pranced for JOY. Il can
play at all the dances" he cried. For
you must know that cranes are very
fond Of giving dances and going to
dances. "All who listen will admire
me. Miss Isabella Crane will gladly
become my bride when am q famous
musician"
NO doubt" said the monkey, ''and In
your day Of grandeur l hope you will
remember that you owe it all to me-
But alas and alas. When the mis-
chievous monkey got those holes drilled
through the cranes beak not a sound
could he make. Even his old cry, which
was not very pretty, came strange and
whistling. I'm ruined!" cried the
crane.
And it was so, The young crane lady
whom he had hoped to marry said she
did not desire a damaged article. All
the other cranes cast him out and
would have nothing TO do with him.
This comes" said the monkey, from
being too ambitious. Who ever heard
Of crane attempting to be a must.
