that they are all left-handed, so to

way of putting it better. The lion. he
says, always strikes with its left paw.
A. question of this sort may seem to

to students of natural history. They

when some little act in connection with
them may prove useful in determining
"a question of great interest
This alleged left-handedness of anil
mails has been the subject of discussion
and experiment among naturalists for
many years. One of them paid special
attention to the parrot, because IL
nearly always extends the left claw to
take anything that is offered to it, or to
climb onto the finger. This habit of the
birds might seem, at first blush, to go
far towards establishing the left-handed
theory: but If must be remembered that,
as most people are r~ight-handed, 1t Is
the right hand tina Is extended to tho
bird. and probably it extends its left
claw because that is nearer the persons
hand than the other.
The experimenter tried extending the
left hand to the bird, and found that it
responded with the right claw, that be-
ing nearer the hand than the left claw.
This. in its turn, would tend TO combat
the l~eft-handed theory, and to SHOW
that it is all a question of the conVe-
| nierce of the bird in responding to the
motion OF the person. The experiment
ter concluded from his series of tests
that there is a slight preference for the
left claw, but he attributes this to the
fact that tame parrots are used to right
[ handed people. Close observation or
parrots in their wild state would be
necessary to determine the question

such evidence was admitted.
Although the government points out
