CALLS WooDPECKERS INSANE
Because Birds Store Pebbles Instead
Of Aeorns Professor Says They
Are Insane.

San Francisco, Cal.-The woodpeck.
ers OF Sonoma county are suffering
from a mild form OF insanity, accord
ing to learned and erudite document
issued by the museum of vertebrae
zoology of the University OF California.
The document says:
The reason why Califirnia wood
peckers in the vicinity of Sonoma
mountain would have stored pebbles
instead of the customary acorns is a
mystery. We know that instinct
works as automatically as an alarm
clock. In the failure OF an acorn crop
It would seem possible that the wood.
peckers might instinctively store some
other available kind of food, but to
have chosen stones instead OF food
carries the analogy too far. II seems
as though any bird with the intelli-
gence of the California woodpecker
which would make the same mistake
ought to be classed a. insane."
