BIRD WITH HANDS

The hoatzn, a native of British Guiana, is de-
scribed as a bird with hands. And the peculiarty
of its structure which eads TO this description is
the possession of two free claws the wings OF
the young
The nest of the hoatzin is placed in n tree over
hanging the water and the young. unlike most
birds hatched in such y position, are active from
the first And the claws at the ends of the wings
are used to assist II in climbing the trees. which
Il does with great dexterity in its early days.
The growth Of the outermost quill feathers or
the wing, which might hamper the free of the
claws, is retarded till the rest of the wing is de-
yeloped sufficiently 10 render climbing less neces-
sary. Then they grow, and the claws are OBJ
sorbed and disappear. The adult bird does not
require them. Should young hoatzin fall into
the water it makes for the shore and seizes
branch up which it quickly climbs
II has been pointed out that the young of game
birds show evidence OF having formerly possessed
similar structures the wings. II is therefore
inferred that they had similar habit. and that In
former times they built and reared their young in
trees.
In this group-includlng the barn door fowl
the quill feathers OF the wing still developed
In the same order In the hoatzn, that is, the
outer ones are delayed until the others have
reached certain stage. Traces OF the free claws.
moreover still be found in the embryo. And
It is interesting In this connection to remember
that even now the pheasant occasionally builds
and matches Its young In tree.

The most interesting point. perhaps in connec-
ton with the free claws OF the hoatzin is that
they recall the remarkable structure of the earl
lest birds yet known TO geology. Archaeopterpyx.
literally the ancient wing. was a bird about the
size of a rook
Although the earliest known bird archaeopter-
pyx. probably not the earliest of feath-
ers to appear earth Future discovery may re-
veal yet earlier members of the feathered tribe.
This most ancient bird resembled hoatzin in hav-
ing free claws to its wings, and perhaps. like 1t,
used them In climbing But while the hoatzin dis.

waltz was fercely assailed on its Introduction into

In 1914 when It was slowly coming into fashion.
Miss Milford declaimed against this "detestable
dance" "In addition" she wrote, Ito the obvious
reasons which all women ought to have for dis
liking II | cannot perceive its much vaunted
graces What beauty can there be in a series OF
