BIRD characteristics.

Among all the birds of this country
the hawk and parrot come the nearest
to using their feet like hands. Wading
birds and scratching birds develop a
very large foot. Birds that are In the
air most of the time have much more
delicate feet than those that are on the
ground frequently. The variety of bills
is quite as astounding as that of the
claws. The hook on the end of the bill
almost always denotes a bird of prey.
Flat bills denote fly catching birds
kingfishers, herons, etc. The meadow
lark that is much on the ground has
strong. stout legs, and the oriole, which
is more in the air, has slender legs.
The s%tiffened tail is not confined to
woodpeckers and chimney swifts, but
the bobolink that clings to the long
grass has also stiffened tail feathers to
help support the bird upright.

dollars to the national wealth-if the
food claims Of the ~spineless cactus as
reported are substantiated in actuai
test.
While II Is not at all likely that the
average man will care to con1ne MS
diet TO the cactus plant, DIR. Landone's
successful experiment Is valuable as
showing that in ease of emergency
need not starve 10 long as cacu
abound. The prospector lost on the
desert whose food supply runs U
may preserve life until succor comes
or until he reaches friends and food by
plucking and preparing cactus for his
palate. The prickly pear which the
plant bears, heretofore so near n yet
so far because Of the stickers, seems
destined to render desert life much
less perilous than heretofore.
Ii Is asserted by some students OF
the matter that Mr.. Burbanks spine
less cactus triumph will prove In the
end to be of greater material benefit
to he emiarid regions than VIII any
other of his marvellous productions In
the vegetable and fruit world. Grant
ing such Importance as this, the ex-
pertinent of DIR. Landone may be look
ed upon as a serious contribution to
scientific knowledge and in nowise as
a mere freak undertaken for purposes
of notoriety. Despite this fact, how
ever a wag asserts that the doctor has
shown that he possesses a good deai
Of backbone by living for two weeks
on spineless cactus.
Mr.. Burbank has got the cactus plant
to a stage where he can dive into II
headlong, taking the great leaves and
rubbing his face and hands against
them without any injury to himself
whatever. On the section Of his farm
devoted to the cactus he is able to show
the visitor the plant in Its various
stages of evolution from Its original
prickly condition to that In which II
appears as a plant capable Of harming
no one. Step by step the plant loses
its thorns, like a conscious. intelligent
being gradually dropping Off cruLa-
ties and s%uperfuities to emerge into q
state approaching as near as possible
% perfection.

The old saying. "As savage al a rat"

caught a large rat and kept him In a
cage for a month and tried many ex-
periments On him. One OF the things
he did was to let loose a large grass
hopper in the same cage, and the rat
was SO frightened by the insect that he
crouched In a corner and whined and
shivered with fear. When a sparrow
was introduced to the cage. the rat ran
round and round until he fell down
