THE TONGUE OF A BIRD.
An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.

An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.
Few people have given thought 70
the subject Of birds tongues. Many.
even Of the amateur bird students,
know little OF the literature on lhe
subject and still less from personal OH
seryation.
Birds must use their bills as hands
aud to some extent the tongues supple
ment such nse Thus nut and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the shell, which is cracked between
the mandibles
The full complement OF bones of the
tongue consists of eight. The shape
varies considerably in different species,
and the comparative size very much
more, although there is a prevailing
general resemblance The size and de-
velopment Of the various bones con
troll the shape and utility Of the organ
Well developed front bones mean a
thick fieshy tongue, such as we find
In members of the duck family, while
small forward bones usually accom-
pany small tongue of less Importance
to the owner, sometimes little more
than rudimentary, like that of the pei
lean.
Among such birds as have occasion
to protrude the tongue well beyond the
tip of the bill the hind bones are mar
yelously developed and greatly elon-
gated, FOR these are the bones on which
the tongue is hung.
The edges OF the tongues OF most
birds are more or less fringed. this fen
ture being most Noticeable in thin
tongues. Most birds have greater or
less number of paplllae-smail Geshy
projections. splnellke in appearance
and usually inclined backward on the
upper surface of the tongue. These
are OF service In working the food
backward toward the throat
Some Of the sea birds have very sim.
pie tongues, which serve but little pur-
pose. The tongues of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long feathering.
/, while those of the woodpecker are long,
slender and pointed, and the roots OF
some species curve clear around the
back OF the skull, up over the crown,
and their tips rest at the base OF the
upper mnndible. With the exception
of the sapsuckers the tongues of wood
peckers are capable of great protru-
sion. and the tip is barbed. The sap
fuckers, however, instead OF having
sharp. barbed tongues like those of
other woodpeckcrs, have brushlike
tongues as a result of the degeneration
of the bristles on their surface into
hairs standing out from the tongue
rather than pointing backward.
Birds with long bills do not always
have correspondingly long tongues.
The kingfshers, with their dispropor-
tionately large bills, have short tongues.
The outer edges of the very long
tongues of humming birds are closely
rolled up into two tubes lying side by
F, side, by means Of which the birds are
enabled to suck the nectar from flow

of the southern states in the amount
per capita expended for the main
tenance of schools and in the growth
of school libraries.
The Federation OF woman's clubs

ers in the South in improving school
properties and identifying them and

ing emphasized and schools for such
work, which are really colleges. are
being established in each congress
sional district.

way of Norfolk and visited the
jamestown Exposition grounds. He
says the West virginia building will
be completed by opening day, April
20. but that 1t will be impossible to

EYeIrn,s Mother.

And now Mrs. Holman comes out
in a copyrighted statement in the
Pittsburg Leader concerning the
Thaw case. 1t appears that she has
spoken at very late day. This
woman. the mother of Evelyn Thaw,
finds 1t necessary now to make a
statement in defense of herself. on
the ground that accusations we're
made and implied against her dur
ing the Thaw trial, as If the world
did not know months before all about
those accusations. Indeed, the
newspapers were full of them, and
yet she is now reported as saying
that two nights after the night, upon
which Thaw shot White, she received
a telegram from her daughter, Eve
lyn Thaw, which cautioned her to
say absolutely nothing. She also
denies that she acted with the dis
trict attorney in any way. She also
says she has remained silent until
now, but has been forced to take the
defensive because of the attack made
upon her by Delmas in his closing
address to the Thaw jury. Mrs.
Holman says Whites manner. words
and actions were personihcation of
whole-hearted, disinterested gener-
osity and that she reposed implicit
confidence in him. She also asserts
that If Evelyn underwent the expert
ence that is said to have fallen TO
her. she did not take her mother into
her confidence. and had Evelyn told
her what she told the Thaw jury.
It would not have been necessary for
Thaw to kill White for she would
have done 1t herself.
An honest thinking public takes
no stock in this belated statement
of Mrs Holman. There are hut few.
II any. who do not believe Mrs. Hoi-
man knew the character of White.
Most people will pronounce her an
unsophisticated woman. If her state
ment is to he given credence that she
reposed a mothers confidence in
White. And as to her remaining
silent and now speaking. let every
one recall the fact that under the
circumstances, unless she knew
something most damaging. it was
her duty 10 speak out during the
trial, just as her daughter did. She
certainly knew something that
would be compromising to herself.
lest she would have spoken in de-
Tense of the one who she now says
did right. If Evelyn's story he true.
Also along this line 1t is not out
of the way TO call attention to the
fact that she knew what Evelyn
swore on the stand. According TO
Evelyn's testimony Mrs. Holman
knew long before the trial ended
what Evelyn told Thaw and that in
formation or story was made that
Thaw XIII White. And. now. III
Mrs. Holman would have killed
White herself. if Evelyn had told
her tie story, why was 1t she did not
come at the proper time 10 the res
cue Of her son-in-law for doing ex-
actly what she says she would have
done herself had she known the ex-
periences OF Evelyn?
Mrs, Holman's statement will not
be believed hy the general public and
her defense Of herself does not res
cue her from the detestatlon every
true mother now holds her in.

NOBODY CLAIMS BODY
Of Man Who Died at BroOkside
 Now at Mulville's Morgue.

So far nobody has appeared to claim the body of James Hennessey, which has been at Mulville's for the past two days, although it is said that he has wife living some place in the city. Hennessey came here some years ago with Charles Morse and went to work at the Scovill Mfg Co, later he changed to Benedict & Burn hams, where he remained until his health failed and he was obliged to try something else. He worked for time for the street department, but finely his condition became so serious that he was obliged to give up and since that time he made his home at the Brookside home. Hennessey is said to have had friends by the score until he got to where he needed them and then the whole of them dsap- peared and left him to the tender mercy of strangers. It is the old story in the same old garb.

ROAD ROLLER AND CAR
Met in Collision Yesterday on
 Baldwin Street.

A trolley car on Baldwin street met foeman worthy of its steel yester- day. The car was speeding along in the vicinity of Liberty street when 1t saw the road roller climbing the hill and evidently thinking it would get out of the way in a hurry, just as grocery teams and other frail vehicles do for their own safety, the trolley car kept right on. The road roller belongs to the city and knowing 1t was on its own ground stuck to its post until the trolley got near enough to give 1t a bat. Then there was mu- sic. It was plain that the roller had first blood, for the motorman yelled at the top of his voice, cried "time,' and said other things. There was a big crowd of shoppers in the car and naturally they stuck up for 1t and in case they might be needed later on the conductor took all their names. The witnesses claim they couldn't tell which struck the first blow and that so far as they could observe no dam age to speak of occurred. although the motorman insisted that the side of his coach was badly battered.

BOARD OF SAFETY
Advertising for Bids for New
 Engine House.

An soon as possible work on the projected engine house Oh Baldwin and Luke streets will be started. for the board of safety yesterday after noon decided to advertise for bids for the contracts for the work. Each line of work will be awarded sepa- rately, thus the carpenter and tile ma son and the electrician and other trades will each have a chance. The board thought this the better way rather than give the entire job to one contractor and allow him to sub-let it to other contractors.
 An application from Peter Rice to be appointed on the police force was filed. Rice would make fine cop. He is one of the popular strong men in the fifth ward.
 The resignation of Charles H. Booth from engine company No 3, was re- ceived and accepted.
 A bill from Police Surgeon E. A. O'Hara was held up to give the doctor an opportunity to explain it's particu- lars. It was for attending Officer Peter Myers, for sprained ankle and the amount was $10 The doctor was requested to appear before the board at it's next meeting. This was all the business transacted by the board.

FORTY-ONE BURIED,
Explosion Disaster at Whipple Mine
 Scarboro.

HINTON, w. Va, May 2.-An explo. sion occurred in the Whipple mine at Scarboro, Fayette county, entombing nearly hundred miners. Fifty-onc men escaped through the emergency stairway and reached the surface, but it is believed that forty-one are still en. tombed, with little chance of escape.
 Many of those who escaped were slightly and some seriously injured, but all will recover. Isaac Pelter, the mine boss, was left in the mine. He was closing up the air courses in an effort to force fresh air to those re- maining in the mine. He expected to follow his men out, but nothing fur ther has been heard of him.
 The Whipple mine is located within two miles of the Stuart mine, which exploded Jan. %. killing eighty men. Both mines are owned by the White Oak Fuel company. The mine is one of the best equipped in this field and has always been considered safe
 Among them are a number of Ital- fans.
 Ed Melton was taken out of the mine alive, but died on reaching the surface.
 The cage and shaft were damaged, but is in operation, and the work of taking out the bodies continues.
 The cause of the explosion is not known, but was probably the result of firing heavy shot at the face of the workings.

HADREVOLvER AND sS5
Was Employed By Adams Ex-
 press Co at PIainvilIe.

Two young fellows named Edward Anthony and Alton Hyde came here last night from Plainville, but it will be some time before they can travel together again as Hyde went to jail to-day. At 1915 o'clock this morning Officer John Dmrthy saw the young men on West Main street, near State street and suspecting something wrong, questioned them. They said they came from Waterville and were waiting for milkman The oihcer knew the milkman they mentioned would not arrive in town until about Q o'clock and this confirmed his sus- picions. He searched Hyde and found n loaded F calibre revolver, of the bulldog pattern in his right hip pock- ct. He was then taken into custody. Anthony had nothing to cause his ar rest. At the police station Hyde was searched and $S5 in cash was found on him. This morning Hyde stated that he came from Plainville and was employed there by the Adams Express company and that the revolver was the property of the company Detec- tive Dodds telephoned to Plainville and ascertained if this was so Also that $55 of the money found on Hyde was his own and that the balarce be- longed to the express company.
 In court to-day Hyde was charged with carrying concealed weapons. He had nothing to say for himself, though he looked to be respectable lad, and he was fined $15 and costs, with the alternative of going to jail.

 You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," Admiral Lamberton's refer ence to this famous order credited to Admiral Dewey as his fleet steamed into the zone of shot and shell from Spanish ships and forts in the bay of Manila on May 1. 1898, was the signal for prolonged cheers.
 Admiral Dewey was busy all day re- ceiving the congratulations of officers who fought under him. He received scores of letters and telegrams of con- gratulations and several of the foreign naval officers called to extend their best wishes.
