A writer on flamingoes, which he
has studied in their haunts In the Ba-

ably as near to the geese as to any
other order Of birds, having a similar
structure of bill and feet and somc-
what similar feather character. They
are unique, however, in their curiously
bent bill, which, though gooselike in
general economy, is constructed in
every detail upside down, as the bird
In feeding reaches down to the bottom
and places the top Of the bill down.
The tongue is also constructed in the
same inverted way. The webbed feet
are for sustaining the birds in the soft
ooze they love to feed in, acting like
snOwshoes."

roads connect the village with other
villages and towns, the place is not
nghted up at night, and there is no
