the head. Curry's hair was
black, and hung down his shout
ders, as is the custom in his
country. After his release from
the workhouse, Curry was ad-
vised by lawyers that the county
authorities had no right to de-
prive him of his hair and that
he had good grounds for dam
ages. He was advised that the
constitution guarantees to every
man that he shall not be depriv-
ed Of his property without due
process of law; that this hair
was his property and the coun-
ty had no right to deprive him
of it. He also wishes the hair
to be produced, which is, of
course, impossible.
lie asserts that this same hair
had been on his head ever since
he was born, and had never be-
fore been clipped.

CHICKENS THAT CAN TALK
Fancier Crosses Parrot to Get
Green TinCe.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 10
w. II. Mckay, poultry breeder
and secretary Of the San Joa-
quin Poultry Association of
Stockson, says he conceived the
notion that by interbreeding
parrots and Black Orpingtons
he could get the much desired
green tinge for the Orpington
feathers. The results were as
founding.
There were many faults and
discOuraging setbacks but Nc
Kay kept at work until he not
only got the desired green tinge
for his Black Orpingtons, but he
is now quite certain that he will
soon show a breed of chickens
that can talk.
THAT l will eventually pro-
duce a strain of chickens that
can be taught to talk like a par
rot, / feel certain. Already l
have adopted a name-the phOn-
ograph hen," said Mckay to-
night.
81 had no thought of produc-
ing talking hen when l began
my experiments and you can
imagine my surprise when I be-
gan to notice that some of the
hens were making noises that
sounded suspiciously like words.
Zone of the hens can whistle,
and another repeats: chick,
chick, chick which is often
used by my wife and myself in
calling the chickens for their
meals"
