FEW HUMMING BIRDS LEFT
Commercial Uses Have Nearly Exter
minated the Tiniest of Festh-
cred Creatures

Our continent has a monopoly OF
humming birds, the gems of the feath-
cred creation. or these there are said
to be as many as four hundred species,
most of which copfine themselves to
the tropical regions.
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. 1t Is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This. however, is mistake.
They do obtain and devour honey, 1t is
true, but most of their food consists
of the small insects which inhabit GER
tain flowers.
Humming birds are SO small that
when they are captured for CONNER
cha. purposes 1t is impossible to use
even the smallest shot for fear of in
turing their skins. They are therefore
stunned with drop of water from a
bfowgun OF syringe and fall into a
net, when they are quickly poisoned
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow TO
| those about the size of bee. Their
| fight is so swift that they can be
we'll seen only when poised above a
| flower. The little creatures bid fail
| to be exterminated on account OF the
| senseIess and cruel fashion of using
them as trimming for women's hats
