BIRDS TONGUES.
why the Parrot Is Able to Initiate
Human Speech.


Human Speech.
One Of the government naturalists at
Washington has recently gathered some
fresh information concerning the
tongues OF birds.
Many people suppose that woodpeck-
darts with which to transfix their prey.
1t is true that the woodpecker, like
the humming bird, can dart out its
tongue with astonishing rapidity and
that its mouth is furnished with an
elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
yet, according to the authority mention
ed, investigation shows that the object
of this swift motion IS only to catch the
prey, not to pierce 1t. For the purpose
Of holding the captured victim the
woodpecker's tongue is furnished with
a sticky secretion.
Considering its powers of initiating
speech, 1t is not surprising to learn
that the parrots tongue resembles that
of man more closely than any other
birds. 1t is not because the parrot is
more intelligent than the other birds
but because its tongue is better suited
for articulation than theirs, that it is
able to amuse us with its mimicry.
The humming birds tongue is In
some respects the most remarkable OF
all. 1t is double nearly from end to
end, so that the little bird is able tC
grasp it's insect prey with its tongue
much as If its mouth was furnished
with pair of fingers.-Chicago Record

Securing Fertile EroS

Officials of the Department of Agri.
culture have been collecting data re.
gardlng the factors which affect the
fertility of eggs, the question having
been carefully studied at number OF
experiment stations IN the United
States and elsewhere.
Too warm quarters for laying stock
and overlooking are commonly believed
to exercise an unfavorable influence on
egg fertility, as well as does cold sea.

stored is also believed to affect the pro.
portion which will hatch as will also
the conditions under which incubation
occurs.
The vigor and character Of the par
ent stock and the length OF time the
male bird has been with the flock are
also important questions with respect
to egg fertility. At the outset ii should
be pointed out that fertility and hatch
ability" are not necessarily Identical.
An egg may be fertile and still tn.

produce a healthy chick under the or

THE ANT EATER.
A Harmless Animal thnt VIII Fight
Hard When nj BAY


A peculiar-looking animal is the ant
eater, which is closely allied to the
sloth family. Its head is drawn out
into long. tubular muzzIe. at the end
of which is a tiny mouth just big
enough to permit the exit Of its long,
wormlike tongue, which is covered with
sticky saliva.
This tongue is thrust among the hosts
of ants with great rapidity, coming
back laden with the tiny insects. To
obtain its prey the ant-eater breaks
open the ant hills, when all the active
inhabitants swarm TO the breach and
are instantaneously swept away by the
remorseless tongue.
The Jaws OF the ant eater are entire
ly without teeth, and the eyes and ears
are very small.
There are several species Of ant eater,
the largest kind being about four feet
long and having a tail covered with
very long hair, forming a huge brush
The claw on the third toe of each fore
limb is Of great size and is used for
breaking open ants and other insects
nests.
Generally speaking, the ant eater "a
harmless animal, but at times when
at bay it will fight with great courage,
sitting UP on its hind legs and hugging
its foe with its powerful arms.-Lon-

The day before this order was given
Dan Hogan was ut the tail end of Il
procession of wagons running the
gantlct. At this time the road was
strewn, on the river side. with dead
mules ana deserted wagons. Dan
started on 4 run TO make the pass,
when the riGcmen en- the other side
brought down his leaders. This threw
everything into a snarl. The other
mules plunged forward onto the dead
ones that had dropped in their tracks,
the wagon came forward onto them,
and Dan was precipitated forward onto
the struggling mass, while the rebels
yelled with delight.
Dan got out his own rifle, and, tax
ing position behind n rock, blazed away
at the crowd of sharpshooters laughing
at him on the other side. He made
It decidedly uncomfortable, and, while
they hooted at him at first, they made
it serious business for him little
later. After q time Dan discovered
two or three mules wandering about a
side gorge. He caught them, took the
harness off the dead mules, put 1t on
the captured ones, unhitched his team
from the wagon. and with it pulled the
dead mules out of the road, then
hitched again to the wagon. and, while
the Confederatcs were wondering what
he would do next, suddenly started off
at full run, and, with n yell like that
of an Indian, went rafting out of
range. He expected fusillade, but
instead of that came a wild cheer from
the men who had been shooting at
him. His patience and pluck had won
over the sharpshooters."
