How Birds Learn 70 Sim

Do young birds learn their songs bv
direct imitation of their parents or is
the power Of song an innate quality?
Some observations made by w. H.
Hudson on a species of tinamou
(Rhynchotus rufescens) throw some
light on the question. This species
has a peculiar and characteristic song
or call Of its own, and according to
Mr.. Hudsons observations, 1t does not
require to learn it. A young bird was
taken from the nest when Just break.
Ing the she'll and brought I'D in a
house where 1t could never have had
the chance OF hearing its parents. Yet
long before it was full grown it would
retire to a dark corner of the room
and give its characteristic SONG in
great perfection. Here the SONG must
have been innate. The experiments
OF Hon. DANES Darlington, in which
various species were reared under lin,
nets. and learned and sang the linnet
song instead of their own, suggest, on
the other hand. that the young bird
learns by direct imitation. /

CHARACTER In FACE

temperament and Disposition Of In
diViduals Plainly Shown, Ae-
cording to Woman Who
Has Studied Subject.

The face as a map OF character and
disposition is the subject OF an elab-
crate study by an English woman.
She holds that the reading Of the fea-
lures can be reduced to an exact
science.
There is an elaborate classification
OF eyes. Among the broad deduc-
lions is the dictum that dark eyes
invariably indicate g strong, passion
ate nature. while light blue ones show.
calculating, cool and resolute char
acter.
Light brown eyes are signs OF in
telligence. fancy, fckleness In love
and rapidly huctuating tempera-
ment A sure indication OF oratorical
gift is projecting eyes and they also
oetoken literary skill In the use OF
language.
A strongly developed nose is a
mark OF superior endowments. The
owner OF big nose has more energy
tnan the owner OF a small one.
The nostrils also have their sig
nihcance. Large nostrils indicate
courage; little ones, cowardice. Long
narrow ones show activity and bodily
vigor. Broad nostrils opening toward
the side show a prediction for
horses.
Mouth and lips are full of sug-
gestiveness. The man with a hang
Ing underlip Is apt to lack perse-
verance and concentration of pur-
pose. The modest individuals lower
lip is habitually pressed close against
the upper lip at the center.
The chin and lower jawbone are
important indices of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
1awoone broadens clear back to the
level OF the wisdom teeth. This is
true, both of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiable
spirit In his sweetheart must choose
a girl with gently curving lower
lips and full and well rounded chin:
her eyes must be soft and brown. II
he desires great constancy, he must
look carefully to the spread of her
lower jaw. Economy is promised by
jaw. Economy is promised by
widening Of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young wom-
an who desires an industrious bus-
band should choose a man with long
upper lip. If she desires even good
temper in her spouse, she had best
choose one with round face and curly
hair.
