Catching ouails In Egypt.

record consignment of 100. 900 live
Egyptian quails, requiring special con-
veyance from Alexandria to London
by way of the Manchester ship canal,
passed through Manchester a day or
two ago. The largest firm of impor-
ters of these birds is the Egyptian
Quail syndicate, which has been in
business for the last 80 years. 1t is ex-
traordinary that. although on many oc-
casions search has been made. the
breeding ground of the quails is abso-
lutely unknown. They are trapped by
Arabs, who deliver them in half doz
ems in boxes, baskets, ETC., to the syn
dicate's collecting depots at all sta
tions on the Egyptian state railways
between Alexandria and Assiout and
Khartoum, and are sent to the ware
house In Alexandria for shipment. The
quails are placed in crates six feet
long, with six tiers, capable of holding
900 birds. for shipment. AS the syndi-
cate only receive payment for birds
which are alive when delivered, very
good care and attention have to be
paid to them during transit. Six Arabs
are told off whose special duty 1t is to
feed and water the birds twice every
day and for each occasion the water
trough is thoroughly cleansed.-Dun.

cc.eatlfic Explanation Of Reason Why
Children Bite Their Nails and

Why children bite their nails is one
of the smaller problems of nature that
from time to time attract the aten-
ton Of scientists.
Why do babies sprawl and scrabble.
writhe and squirm In their jerky. weird
way? Why have they so many strange
ways that other young animals have
not? Because an infant is mental
and physical palimpsest.
The ancient Greeks wrote upon
sheep skins. Such vellum was 80
precious that it was washed white
with buttermilk and used time and
time again, just as we use the slate
but 1t did not lose its writing. Modern
chemistry and photography reproduces
and shows the stuff that was writ on
these old skin scrolls. lost frag-
ment from Hesiod or Homer. hot

Plato again comes to light and light
and day.
Such telltale parchment is called
palimpsest. and man and his mind.
aye the great round stalwart electric
ghost, this globe itself and all its lay
ers of strata, is such palimpsest to
the searching eye of science.
Bears suck the paw during their
winter sleep. and we had some hiber-
mating ancestors, and these not so re-
mote as the cave dwellers, at that.
Some harsh scientists think fatness
in man was originally not SO much for
protection from cold. like in the
whale, but as in the bear, fat was
stored and magazined against seasons
and onslaughts of famine, the fat man

sumption.

great group of immensely interest
ing self-acting (automatic) educa-
tional actions and habits of the brain
and body to which the strange sprawl
ing, jerking movements Of the baby
belongs. The new born baby. like our
evolutional cousins the opossum and
kangaroo, is only half born and fln-
ishes it's infancy in the warm lap and
arms and bosom IT mother-so sub
stituting the ridiculous marsupial
pouch. Baby cannot begin living It's
life at once as most animals do. but
must mature a year longer-in the
meantime great sleeping nervous and
muscular actions must be kept in
training and exercise through these
silly seeming sprawls.
The speech center In the brain and
its faculty is so new and difficult that
the seemingly insane vacuous parrot
ings, the chewing of the rag of chat
tering people Is doubtless an uninten-
tional exercise in singsong talk to
keep speech alive and active to their
posterity. Hand and mouth move
ments and gestures are so close in
some peoples that it is a safe bet that
they actually cannot talk if their
hands are held.
