consulted. Final action as to their acceptance or rejection. however. is taken by the Postmaster General. Much of the work falls directly upon Frank D. Ferguson. the Assistant Director. and D. J. Hill. chief of the designing department of the Bureau.
 The designs themselves for the Pan anna issue are made from four to six square-inches in size-much larg- CT, obviously, than they are as seen in the stamps. These designs are re- duced to the proper sizes by photo graphing thom on glass plates and then on metal. The work of engrav
 ng must be of the highest order Uncle sam insists upon that-and just as much care is taken with the plates for the postage stamps as with those for printing" our paper currency. Of course. any production of the designs is forbidden by law so the General Public will have to wait until they are on sale before it can see what splen- did results have been obtained.
 The design for the five-cent stamp was taken from two ancient wood cuts in a very old magazine but was changed considerably before being ac- eepted.

We left the mountains as they were but changed the sailboat from the tubish-looking affair it was originally to the ral1ish little one you see on the stamp.

Even in the hardest rain storm the male bird will stick to the nest and will fight savagely if anyone attempts to come near it or to molest his wife" in any way. On two or three occasions curious persons have mar rowly escaped injury in trying to get near the nest. When matching time arrives the chick will nearly always pip" the shell, but at times the fe- male ostrich will assist by pressing her breastbone on the shell to help the baby bird out.
 A well-regulated ostrich family usu- ally has three broods a year. Ere quently~during the rainy season the eggs are matched in incubators. being pulled from the nest by long stick with a hook on the end.

When placed in incubators the eggs must be kept at a temperature of one hundred and t11ree degrees. Ostriches natched in, tais way are usually healthy.

The ostrich is a vegetarian and all falfa is his staple food. Oranges are relished, and the writer once saw an attendant at a California farm feed six to his particular pet--a big grey bird-one after the other in rapid suc- cessiop. The fruit was swallowed whole and could easily be traced as it slipped down the long, snake-lile neck. One of the finest birds on this farm at one time had his neck badly torn by a nail and it was necessary to put several stitches in the slit. as all the food taken by the ostrich dropped out through the opening
 After the operation the bird recov- cred and in a few days was more anxious than ever for his diet of oranges. The birds will swallow large pebbles as a chicken swallows grains of sand. After the death of a big bird on an Arizona ostrich farm it was discovered that he had eaten part of a shoe and several coins. This strange diet, however, was not the cause of his death. Nothing the os- trich swallows appears to cause him any serious discomfort and strange tales are told of his voracity.

nal sunset a bit, it sounds quite sim pie but. let me emphasize. such an operation is far from an easy one."
 A direct copy of painting by Mathews, as published in a Pacific Coast Magazine. was used without change as the picture for the ten- cent stamp, while the one-cent design was originated in the Bureau.
 Unless the unexpected happens. the new stamps will be on sale by Janu- ary first in postoffices all over the land. This does not mean. of course, that the familiar ones will be sup planted but, since novelty seems ever to appeal to the American people, the chances are the demand for the new will be large. At the Bureau of En- graying and Printing, they will con- tinue to print" the regular Issues. certain number of machines. how ever. will be selected for the making of the Panamas," as they are already popularly called in the Bureau.
 To attempt to estimate the total number that will be struck off would be but mere guess-work, according to Ass't-Direetor Ferguson. Enough will always be on hand to meet the demand As the first of the New Year approaches a proportionate number of the new stamps vii be sent to each post office in the country and there placed on sale. From then on fresh shipments will be made to the various postmasters only on order through the office of the Third Asst Post master General. This will be kept up until the close of the Exposition in 1915 when. if the customary proceed

 They will be honored as postage, however. at any time, for once Uncle Sam sells a stamp it is good until mutilated or cancelled. Even now, those who handle the malls at Wash ington, occasionally notice Jamestown Exposition stamps attached to letters. So one. can be nothing out of pocket, stamps he purchases.
 Prom a carefully compiled table of the sales of the last three special lssues." says one writer. recently. "it is deduced that the popularity of the spe- cial stamp Is on the wane. Only about one-seventh as many Louisiana Pur- chase stamps were sold as of the Columbian issue of 1S934. At that. though. nearly three-hundred million of the former were affixed to the country's mail.'
 This may or may not be q foreshad- owing of the kind of reception that twill be accorded "the Panamas" but. in either case, Uncle Sam is not wor- rylng. Nor, for that matter, are the officials of the Exposition, for they receive no share of the sales of the stamps and Uncle Sam finds 1t as easy to print this new issue as to turn out the old ones. What extra effort is necessary he Is perfectly willing to make on the grounds that a big Ex- position is of National importance and value.
 In shape. at least, the Panamas will attract attention. The current stamps are not as broad as they are tall; but the new ones will be much broader than they are tall. Their actual di- mensions are: fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in height by one inch and three sixteenths in width. And this change in size neeessitates eorrespondipg though not inconvenient change in printing them.
 As you probably know, postage stamps are printed in sheets. not sep arately, with four hundred stamps to each sheet. There can be no change In the size of the sheets in order to accommodate the new issue. so there must be a reduction in the number of stamps to each sheet. This has been

Although an ostrich can with ease carry a heavy man on it's back. the principal strength Is in their two toed feet, and their kick is said to be as disastrous as that of a Missouri mule. In running the gigantic bird attains the speed of a race horse, and often the attendants will drive few about the pen for the visitors amuse- ment. When running their stride is said to be about twenty feet. The racing ostrich Oliver, Jr., which toured the country some years ago, is still used to amuse the crowds at the Jacksonville farm. Hitched to a sullty, he does some remarkable run ming.
 The ostrich becomes a feather pro- ducer when 1t is nine months old, but it is not until they are at least three years of age that the finest plumes appear. The first "plucking'' of the feathers is delicate task, and great care is exercised so as not to damage the socket of the feather or to cause the young bird any pain. The pluck ing" of an adult bird occurs twice year and is no easy task. although 1t Is an absolutely painless operation. During A recent visit to d big farm the writer saw two pluckers corner big male bird after lively chase. It required great agility on the part of the men to avoid the birds feet, as once or twice when he was being driven into the triangular pen he kicked yiciousiy. Finally a hood was slipped over his head and the pluck CTS began their work. By the use of sharp clippers the quill of the ripe feather is cut about an inch or two from the birds body, thus preserv- ing the beauty of the feather fibre. In two months time in the ordinary course of nature the stub of the quill left in the socket dries and naturally falls out and a new feather at once begins to grow in, and in six months time another plume has matured ready for plucking. During the en- tire process of clipping or of the feather regrowing the bird suffers no pain. The male ostrich produces the best plumes--the finest quality and the longest feathers3sThe twentypfour which grow on each wing of the male

 "The printing completed. the quar- ter-sheets are wrapped in packages and sealed. their denomination and total number being marked on the outside of each package. In these small bundles they are then hauled to huge Reserve Vault" in which, always, there are at least one billion stamps on hand. Then. IS needed. they are removed and shipped to the various postofliees over the country.
 Recently, the stamp-vending ma chine seems To have become popular tn many portions of the land-those nicsel-in-th ones, you know. that give you one one-cent stamp and two "two'sn for q fve-eent piece dropped into them. While popular with many of the people they have made neees- sary an entirely new operation at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. And this Is known there as "eoillng." quantity of the new Panama issue will, of course, be prepared for these machines.
 In "eoiling." the sheets will first be cut in half and the half-sheets then pasted together, end 10 end In strips that are ten stamps wide by five hun dred to one-thousand stamps in length. A machine made just for this work will then divide these half-sheet strips into strips of single stamps at taehed end 10 end and roll each strip thus formed or, rather, "eoil" it.
 The installation of this marvellous machine has done away with long, tedious hand process. Formerly. the half-sheets were pasted into strips, then cut into one-stampwide strips and eoiled-all by hand-at a great outlay of time and labor. Now. how ever. three women working with the new machines can do in one day as much work as previously required twenty-two women 10 perform.
 Whatever the popularity of the Panama stamp may be, it's issuance is notable in the making of postage stamps. for Uncle sam is not readily induced 10 take such a step.

the owner is derived from the sale only bird used for millinery adorn- ment which is not killed when the feathers are obtained. In consequence of this bird lovers who refuse to wear aigrettes or Paradise plumes may wear the ostrich feather without the least conpunction.
 To the average American aecus- toned to see only few birds in cir GUS or geological garden the ostrich farm proves a revelation, especially as their mode of living and habits differ in so many respects from other birds. From the chick when first matched about twelve inches tall the birds often attain a height of eight feet and weigh three hundred pounds. The feathers of the young bird are stubby. and as they step about they remind one of moving punches of dirty excelsior. They are clumsy and awk ward. but even the large birds have that trait, and unless their young are taken from them shortly after hatch ing the chicks are apt to be trampled to death. They do not eat for three days after matching and have to be taught the use of their beaks by the placing of food inside the bill. In this way they learn the use of their beaks and will begin by picking up grits. For the first few weeks their food consists of bits of shell, small pebbles and tender shoots of alfalfa. Great care must be given to the young birds for the first two months as they must be especially guarded from dampness or draughts. After this they are able to take care of themselves. They grow rapidly for the first months. more slowly from the age
