The bellbird. which makes perhaps
in its natural state the greatest noise
Of any known avian. is found both in
South America and certain parts OF
Africa. Its voice will carry on still
day a distance Of quite three miles.
Its note is like the tolling Of distant
church bell and is uttered during the
heat OF the day, when every other bird
has ceased to sing and nature is hush
ed In silence. The hornbill, a bird
which is widely distributed In India.
the Malay archipelago and Africa, has
also very loud note. Its call has been
described as between the shrek Of a
locomotive and the bray Of donkey"
and can be heard a distance OF a cou.

MONTENEGRO DANCES.
The kolo 10 q Feature Of All Great
National Festivals.


National Festivals.
The national dance of Montenegro Is
the "kolo," somewhat similar to the
"horo" OF Bulgaria. Both sexes take
part. crossing hands and forming an
unjoined circle. The music they sup
ply themselves, each end Of the horn
alternately singing verse In honor Of
the prince and his warlike deeds. The
'kolo" IL always danced at any great
national festival, and the effect Of the
sonorous voices and swaying ring is
very fine. Then there Is another dance
performed by four or five, usually
youths. TO the accompaniment of u
fiddle the leader setting a lot of intri-
cate quick steps which the rest imi-
tate at once. 1t is really sort Of Jig
and makes the spectators head swim
II he watches 1t for long.
I never saw any dances In northern
Albania, though certain Slav artists
love TO depict wonderful sword dances,
with beauteous maidens swaying grace
fully after the style Of nautch girls.
A casual observer who has seen the
Albanians come into Montenegro mar
kets or to their great weekly gather
ing In the bazaar OF Scutari could
never picture these stern. lean men
dancing or ut play. They never smile.
and they look the life they lead, each
clan ever ready for war with its neigh
Dor and absolutely pltiless In the ven
delta. The red Indian is not more
ste!cai ~ biz bearing than TIC north
ern Albanian clansman.-Wide World

NOISY AFRICANS.
Laughter Seldom Heard In the upresr
Of the Natives.

Laughter Seldom Heard In the upresr
Of the Natives.
Among the African natives there can
be nothing done without noise, ac-
cording to Pittsburg man who has
Travelled extensively In Africa.
1T is simply appalling. the rush. the
roar. the chatter and the hustle, like
Bedlam broke loose" the traveller said.
1.-The principal object Of conversation
Is said to be money, and the hubbub,
bawling and uproar In all sorts Of
tones from shrill and screaming to
gruff and growing, accompanied by
all sorts OF gesticulations. with tongue,
head and feet. are beyond description.
1T Is rather odd, but laughter Is al
most never heard In this uproar, and
as for whistling 1t Is lost art. II
there are any quarrels they are not TO
be heard In public, although when
company of natives gets to carry on
an animated conversation 1t appears to
the observer as II the next act would
be melee.
"In addition to these natural sounds
there are others OF an artificial charac-
ter that are equally familiar to the
traveller. Such Is the noise Of the
drums called tomtoms. which are beat
en- on every occasion. and a kind Of
pipe about eighteen inches long. with
holes like those of flute and breathed
through In way that produces a
variety of notes Of wild. discordant
character. A frightful noise is made
by the kaffa men blowing on a big
shell" -Washington Post.
