BIRD WITH HANDS

The hoatzin. native of British Guiana, is de
scrbed as a bird with hands And the popularity
of its structure which leads to this description is
the possession OF two free claws on the wings OF
the young.
The nest Of the hoatzin is placed In tree over
hanging the water and the young. unlike most
birds Matched in such a position are active from
the first. And the claws at the ends OF the wings
are used to assist 1t In climbing the trees. which
It does with great dexterity In its early days.
The growth of the outermost quill feathers of
the wing which might hamper the free of the
claws is retarded till the OF the wing is de-
veloped sufficiently to render climbing less neces-
sary. Then they grow, and the claws OBJ
sorbed and disappear. The adult bird does not
require them. Should young hoatzin fall into
the water 1t makes for the shore and seizes
branch. up which it quickly climbs.
It has been pointed out that the young of game
birds show evidence Of having formerly possessed
similar structures the wings. 1t is therefore
inferred that they had a similar habit and that in
former times they built and reared their young in
trees.
In this group-incuding the barn door fowl
the quill feathers of the wing still developed
in the order In the hoatzin. that Is, the
outer delayed until the others have
reached a certain stage. Traces o; the free claws
moreover. can still be found In the embryo. And
1t is interesting in this connection to remember
that the pheasant occasionally builds
and matches its young in q tree.

Long Distance Runner Is
Among Them.

Carlisle, Pa.-That a misunderstand-
ing of the white mans motives has
been one OF the causes OF the Indians
backwardness in adopting civilized
methods and of his fighting educa-
ton Is being demonstrated here at
the government Indian school, where
IL members of the Hopi nation, sun
worshipers and pagans. who came
here five years ago virtually as pris-
oners OF war, are now preparing to
go back to their people and spread the
doctrine OF the new life, which they
have gladly accepted.
half-dozen years ago the Hopi ma
tion was causing considerable trouble
In Arizona. Internecine strife had d.
vided the tribes and a troop of United
States cavalry was sent post haste to
the Keam's canyon region to restore
peace. After pow-wows and confer
ences. In which the Indian leaders
sternly refused to adopt the white
mans education, twelve Of tho most
obstinate "stand-patters" were taken
as prisoners and sent from the Mo-
qui agency, in Arizona, to the Carlisle
Indian school. The party arrived here
January 26. 1907. All of these In
dians were members OF the Oralbi
band of the Hopi nation. Among them
were several priests and head men of
the tribe.
When these savages arrived at the
Carlisle school they would have moth
ing to do with any of the other stu
dents, and began to live their lives
apart. In less than ten days one of
the Hopis indicated by gestures that
he would like to have his hair cut
like the other students, and on tho
same day another Hopi was discover
ed shipping off his own locks with a
hunting knife.
From the moment the Hopis showed
their first interest in education they
advanced rapidly and became eager
in their desire to learn more. They
entered the lowest grades in the class
rooms, but as they were attentive to
their studies, were kindly disposed to
their teachers, and caused not the
slightest trouble, they climbed stead
