of the hinder series, as in fig. 8. In such q
section the scroll-shaped barbules are always
cut across, as you see in the fig. 8: II the
section were taken so as to keep the scroll
shaped barbules whole, the hooklet barbules
would be cut across. A reference to the dla-
gram in fig. "a will make this clear. Com
plcated though this description may seem, 1t
viii become plain enough if you read this over
and compare it, step by step, with the Illus
trations.
But for this beautiful system of interlocling
the barbs one to another, the quill feathers
would be useless for the purposes of fight,
The feathers which clothe the rest OF the
body are not quite so perfect in this method
of interlocling; indeed, very often the hook
let's are not developed sufficiently well to
keep the barbs locked together, when loose,
almost hairy-looking plumage is the result.
The beautiful ostrich and marabou Zig. 81
plumes, worn in the hats of tboughtless wom-
en-, owe their elegance to this failure on the
part of the booklets to form continuous
web.
But besides the feathers such as meet the
eye in the living bird, there are feathers OF
other kinds which can only be seen when
the larger feathers are raised up. The most
important of these are known as down-feath-
ers Zig. y. They form a thick under-cloth-
ing answering to the under-fur Of such mann
mails as the fur-seals. Under the miscroscope
one of these down-feathers will be seen to
differ in some important respects from the
first place, the barbs spring from a common
base, and are not ranged along each side of a
central shaft. Further, no "vane" or fringe"

the cause of this, really powerful micro
scope is necessary, as well as some very deli
cate dissections. But great deal can be done
with a sharp knife, wherewith some of the
rods, or "barbs," can be cut off from their at
tachment to the shaft and pulled apart. 1t
will then be seen that each Of these close-ht-
ting rods bears fringe, very like that which
is borne by the stem itself This fringe is
formed by hundreds of little horney platez,
row on each side of the rod OF barb Zig.
2A). These, which in the undisturbed feath-
er pointed towards its tip, differ in a very
wonderful way from those which point to-
wards the base of the feather. What these
differences are we shall show presently, but
for the moment we will only note that these
smaller rods, which you tried to pull apart,
are known as barbs. while the microscopic
fringe which they support is formed by the
'barbulesn Zig. 2A). The barbules to which
we just referred as pointing towards the tip
Of the feather are, you will find, when magni-
fed, made up of two parts, ribbon-like
blade, slightly curled, and a series of long,
delicate hooks Zig. 81. But those barbules
which look towards the base of the feather
have a totally different shape Zig. ~. For
the greater part of their length they are scroll
like, but then end in fine point, curvsd
sharply Zig. A.. If you could succeed in
placing section through two or three of these
barbs under the microscope Ia bit of two
barbs from between the two parallel lines A
B in fig. "a, for instance), the meaning of
these differences between the barbules would
become plain, for you would see that the long
so as to catch hold of the scroll-like barbules
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-30

is present, the barbs instead forming, loose
threads, while booklets are represented only
by minute "priekes," as it were. :.
But there are yet three other kinds OF
feathers to be examined The first are known
as filo--plumes What they are like can best be
seen by a visit to the kitchen just after a
chicken has been plucked for the table. Ii
this be examined near the light, it will be
found to be .sparsely covered with very long
and very delicate hair-like threads-the flo
plumes. The second kind of feather. is that
known as powder-down feather. These are
found only in birds like the stately heron, and
its cousin the bittern, for example, when they
form large patches down the breast and over
the leg, and in some hawks and parrots. They
are remarkable because they are continually
falling to pieces in the shape of an extremely
fine powder, and it is to this powder that the
peculiar bloom of the face and beak OF the
grey parrot is due.
Finally we have nesting down feathers
These vary greatly in their general appear
ance and even structure. All birds, how
ever, do not develop nestlingzdown; young
crows, for example, when they leave the egg
are absolutely bare, and very black and ugly
they are in consequence. Young owls Zig.
81, on the other hand, serve as good exam
Piles of downy nestlings being clothed in q
wonderful suit of "hif." But the down oil
ducks and fowls is of a much more feather:
like character, and answers to a form OF
plumage such as was worn by birds long since
extinct This much we gather, not only be:
cause Of its structure. but also because Of
the fact that it is marked by broad stripes,
forming dark bands in light ground; These
stripes are even more plainly marked in the
young of the ostrich tribe, such as is seen in
the picture of a young cassowary Ing. W.
Look at it well, and remember how import
ant lesson these stripes teach the next time
you see a brood of young chickens, or, better
still, young pheasants. Compare them with
this young cassowary The fact that young
chickens are SO often whole-colored-white or
blacks due to the fact that chickens have
so long been kept as domesticated that they
have lost much Of their wild character, The
Young Of the jungle-fowl, from which our
tame fowls are descended, are striped like
young pheasants or young cassowaraes.

~ NE of the most curious phenomena of
nl the Western plains, where the
w atmosphere is hot and dry,
is sand augers. When the
Union Pacific Railway was being constructed,
the workmen had frequent opportunities Of
witnessing the formation and progress of these
"sand-auger' whirlwnds. They were especial
" frequent in the Lodge Pole Creek Valley,
through which the railway, leaving the Platte
River, runs in northerly direction.
The first indications of the near approach
of one Of these "augers." would be the forma-
ton, here and there in the valley, Of little
dust whirlwinds, or baby cyclones. These
would be whisked away by strong currents OF
cool air, coming from no one knows where,

When this occurred lightning flashes would
sport about the upper stratum of the. cloud,
and immense hailstones be formed in the
dark points beneath. When all conditions
were favorable these hailstones would be
thrown, by centrifugal force. out from the
revolving cloud.
These hailstones were almost invariably of
fat disk shape, from three to. six inches in
diameter, an inch to an inch and half thick,
and made up of alternate layers of sand and
ice.
