place were species are most numerous,
gives opportunity for geological and
pathological studies heretofore impossible.
With the $50 large mammals. 1878 small
mammals, 2,7S4 birds, 1900 reptiles and
batrachians and $50 fish collected, the
British East African territory has been
covered thoroughly. The reports from
Uganda nave not yet come in. 1t is the
hope Of the Smithsonian authorities that
the example of Colonel Roosevelt may
stimulate others to add to it's collections.
In England nearly everything is sent to
the British museum. In America every big
city gets specimens, hence there has been
no one collection as complete as that of
the British museum. 1t is now Intended
to embark seriously upon the work of maxi
ing the Smithsonian and the National
museum collections the most comprehensive
in the new world.

eighteenth century the market was flooded
with these books of valentine verses.
Gradually the verses began to be accom-
panied by pictures or designs emblematic
of affection and devotion. In the course
Of time these came to be more important
than their caption. The first models were
merely heart+shaped bits of paper, roughly
stained; but during the nineteenth CEN
fury there developed a whole pictorial vo-
cabulary for st. Valentines day, of which
the chief symbols were the arrow, the
dove, the heart and Cupid. These four
are endlessly employed. A dove fits
through the sky, holding in his bill a
scroll. The bleeding heart is transfixed
by an arrow which nearly resembles a
weather-cock. The children Of a genera
ton ago were delighted with the cards
covered by lace paper which could be
pulled out, accordion-wise, to form a
mound OF white frame from within which
a little picture peeped from thanking lay
ers OF paper lace. TO that same generation
belongs the valentine wherein there sits on
a rustic bench a very pink woman clad
in a garment half way between "a riding
habit and a princess. while over the back
Of the seat leans a gallant in tight laven-
der trousers, a purple surtout and a green
Beau Brummell hat. In the background
a little church nestles against the horizon
AT present the forms are many and COM
plicated. The cheap comic valentine. has
had a bad effect on the quality Of the
day, but. nevertheless. with every 18th OF
February a little of the old spirit crops up.
Every good valentine has in it a bit Of
the tone of that immortal document which
Sam Weller l~aboriously drew up:
Lovely c~reetur." Sam wrote, "afore I
see you 1 thought all women was alike,
but now 1 find what a regular soft-headed,
inkred'lous turnip 1 must ha' been, for
there amt nobody like you. Ex-
cept of me. Mary. my dear, as your val
entlne. "-Collier's Weekly.

iections are those of the birds. About
300 have been received and some Loo
more are expected shortly. They range
from the tiny little sunbird, that is some
times confused with the humming bird, up
to the gHiath heron. the saddle-bilted
stork and the giant eagle-owl. All of these
birds are carefully skinned, the skins poi
soned so as to render them Immune to ver-
vermin and parasitic attack, and then
stuffed with cotton At the Smithsonian
they are kept in trays in big dark cases.
One Of the most interesting specimens is
the honey-Guide. This little bird has a
taste for larvae and other life that
abounds in a wild beehive. It has learned
that man is fond of honey and viii work
all day trying to persuade the hunter to
follow it, How it has acquired the idea Of
the relation between man and honey is a
most remarkable thing, but thai it has done
so is agreed by all who know its habits. 1t
will guide a hunter to a bee tree as uner-
ringly as a pointer dog will locate a covey
of partridges. The secretary bird is an
other interesting member of Africa's feath-
cred tribe. 1t has a crest of feathers which
when the bird is at attention resemble an
old-fashioned quill pen placed behind the
ear of a clerk. Hence its name. 1t is a
snake eater and an adept in the art
Of snake catching, 1t kills the snakes It
eats by carrying them high into the air
and dropping them on hard ground.
Weaver birds build their nests together.
there being as many as a hundred families
under a common cover. Another interest
ing species represented in the collection
is the little whydah bird. This bird and the
