QUEER BIRD, TEE HOATZIN.
Brooklyn Museum Has q Group or an
Unusual species.

Curator In Chief Frederick A. Lucas
Of the Brooklyn Institute Museum on the
Eastern Parkway has just placed on
exhibition a group Of curious birds known
as the hoatzin. The specimens we're
obtained by q. X. Cherrie, one Of the
attaches Of the museum, on his recent
visit to the Orinooo region Of South
America, II is the habit Of this bird
to build its nest in trees the branches
Of which extend over the water. The
young are hatched entirely naked and

/ into the water and swim with great facility
and thus escape their enemies, but the
adult bird never goes into the water
| The hoatzin has other striking pecul-
iarities. During the earlier weeks Of its
existence the wings, with a pair Of small
but quite strong claws, are used as legs,
These claws are Dropped when the wing
quilts are grown.
The young bird when il goes into tho
water does not feed there but lives on
i the buds and leaves of the trees Orni-
biologists say that the hoatzin Ia allied
to fowls and pigeons. but il possesses so
many anatomical peouliarities that it has
bcen placed by some scientists In a
serarate order
This bird is seldom seen in fight,
although it has large wings in oompar-
son with the size Of its body. and its apra-
rent sluggishness is accounted for by
the fact that its body is peculiarly formed,
the front part Of the breastbonc being
cut away to accommodate a large pouch,
or crop, into which pass the leaves which
are tho hoatzin's principal food. |, Is
believed that this bird cannot make a
tight Of more than 100 yards.
Although the feet of the hcatZin are
large and strong. when at rest the weight
Of The body is supported by patch Of
callous skin covering the end OF the
breastbone. Ia climbing among the
tangled branches Of their haunts while
feeding on tender leaves or buds the
adult birds use their wings very much as
the young birds do, but instead Of de-
pending on claws that may catch and help
pull the body along the wings might be
compared to paddlewheels which catch
the limbs and propel the body.
When the young are forty-eight hours
old they begin TO crawl about. using the
bill, feet and wings with tho claw attach

are built over the water and only a few

young birds drag themselves to the edge
uf the nest. and il matters seem to be
serious they drop into the water, dive

can conceal themselves.

ItLt .iBLE COUNTERFEITS.

wirca spurious Spanish doubloon Of
Charles ". uf Spain, dated 1901, was
~I!d for $50 at sale u old coins at the
Collectors Club in this city.
The coin was of excellent Workman

difference betwccn IL and the genuine,
but instead ot being struck in gold il
was composed Of platinum Of the purest
quality which had been gilded.

Platinum was a favorite metal with
cuunterfeiters some years ago. when its
intrinsic value was about 81 an ounce.
Many spurious ten and twenty dollar
United States gold pieces were turned
out chiefly composed OF this metal, The
coins Of Great Britain were also tsmpered

any other country. Even at the present

made by private persons and were equal

Qf tnencss and weight, the manufactur-
ers being satisfied with the seignorage
or difference between the face value of
the coin aud its value in bullion silver.
So difficult are these illegal coins to
distinguish from the genuine that the
Government has authorized their redemp-
tion at bullion value. IL il said that
but little distinction has been made In
Spain between the regular issues and
the counterfeits, the two issues being
accepted freely everywhere, and II is
declared that il is not at all unlikely

DEAN A. BRUCE
ON CHILD LABOR
HEAD OF NORTH DAKOTA LAW
SCHOOL HAS BEEN UNcEAsING
WORKER IN INTEREST OF BET
TER LEGISLATION FOR THE
WORKING PEOPLE.

The following is a portion of an adj
dress made by Dean A. Bruce of the
law school of the state university on
the subject Child Labor:
Illinois held unconstitutional a stat
ute which regulated the hours of la
Dor of women, on the ground that the
women were of age and did not object.
The court did not realize that the state
was vitality interested in these wo-
mems welfare whether they objected
or not; that debilitated mothers pro-
duce debilitated children, and that the
statistics of the country show that rs
per cent of the girls employed in the
factories afterwards marry. once
appeared befo-e a Wisconsin legisla-
ture In behalf Of statute which pro-
vided that department stores should
furnish seats for, female employees
when not at work. Somehow or other
it dawned on me that for a young girl
or a woman who stands on her feet
from o'clock in The morning to 8
at night was not good for her or for
the children that she might afterwards
bring into the world. A distinguished
gentleman appeared on the other side,
and as is usual in such cases called
me an anarchist. 1 merely retorted by
calling his attention to the fact that
the morning papers noted the passage
of just such an act as that advocated
by me in the British parliament, and
had stated that the bill passed the
lower house without a dissenting
voice; that it had been attacked in the
house Of lords by a noble lord, who
like my friend had called its advo-
Gates anarchists, but the result had
been not its defeat, but its amendment
so as to cover not merely England,
but Scotland and Ireland / suggested
that Ii were an anarchist, stood in
pretty good and conservative company.
The supreme court Of Michigan,
though upholding a child labor law,
held that the inspectors could not
enter the factories except at the en-
frances provided for them by the
owners and at such hours as the
owners should provide. My expert
ence in enforcing the factory laws Of
Illinois, showed that when we entered
factories, the children were hidden in
corners, in cubby holes, in the cellar
ekA10 OAA ZIG ACOAg anu dhhCE klC MICH
igan rule inspection would be a farce.
/ remember that in the Wisconsin
legislature there was willingness 20
pass an anti-child labor law, but that
there was determination not to
make any appropriation for inspec-
tors or for its enforcement. remem-
Der asking the senators II there was
not game law in the state, If there
were not game wardens, IL the state
did not appropriate about $4,000
year for these wardens, and asking
them if in the state Of wisconsin a
prairie chicken or a deer was of more
Importance than little child.
