eELLeIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON
Rare Specimen That Has Been Sc
cured for the Zoo.

specimen of the naked-throated
bellbird (Chasmorhynchus nudlcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
ical gardens, London. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the
bellbird is it's powerful voice; it ut
ters a clear, metallic note which can
be heard at a distance Of three miles.
It's noise is like that produced by a
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times it repeats it's notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice Of this bird; it is loud and
piercing, and would be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising it's voice at once. Ex-
cept for space of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which,
during the breeding season, is of a
green color, this bird is pure white.
The contrast between the sexes In the
beilbirds, of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie, is
extreme. For while the male is pure
white, the female is brownish green.
Darwin refers to the bellbi1d when he
points out that white is very rare
color in terrestrial species of mod.

CHINESE INTOXICATION.

The suggestion was made in these columns
some time ago that it would he interesting ,

ton Of the opium habit. and especially 20 see
whether there would be q reversion to the Use
of alcoholic intoxicants which were so widely
used before the Introduction Of opium smoking
Of course the opium trade has not vet been
sufficiently suppressed to Justify the formation
of positive judgments concerning the effects

nously significant. though unhappiy not surpris-

questionable authority from other parts of the

This is, as we have suggested reversOn.

the tenth century opium began to be used
medicine, but still for long time stimulants
were preferred to narcotics as intOXiCants. 1t is
interesting to recall that the opium habit had its
origin among the Chinese through the Of
tobacco. The latter introduced into China
by the Spanish from the Philippines in the first
quarter of the seventeenth century, and de-

made the experiment of mixing opium with to-

were imported from Java TO meet the demand.
