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 q mild form of insanity, accord
ing to a 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
1t 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 as insane"

Tail waooino Muscles.

The wearing OF tails is no longer
considered fashionable, but that we did
once have tails, and are prepared to
grow them again should the fashion
change, is shown by remains in our

rudimentary and degenerative from
lack of use. Wiederscheim calls atten-
ton to the remains of arteries and

Mutt, Chief Bully of the Wolf Dens, Reformed

NEW YORK.-Mutt has reformed.
~ There is no doubt about this. He
is just as nice and amiable now as
any wolf in captivity. He was not
always noted for this. For three
years he reigned supreme as chief
bully of the wolf dens in the New
York geological parks. Now a little
cub has taught him to behave him.
self, and when Mutt gets out of the
hospital he will be good
Like most of the other wolves in
the park Mutt was born in captivity.
His mother, Fannie, and his father,
Husky, are two of the best natured
animals there. Mutt, however, showed
when he was a cub that he had not
inherited the amiability of his par
ents. Instead, he was a replica of
his grandfather, Growler, who was
captured in northern Canada and who
while still in the cub stage became
unpopular with the keepers.
Most Of the wolves in the park are
rs tame as house dogs. They like to
their friends. They seldom snarl or
growl, and do not show wolfish traits
until feeding time and then all they
do is to howl with JOY when they see
the keepers coming with the meat.
When still a cub Mutt showed that
he was going to be different He be-
gan by fighting with his brothers and
sisters and then with all the others in
the Gems. His temper and bullying
got worse as he grew older and then
he was given the name which he now
bears
A few days ago Mutt tried to show
that he was the ruler Of the dens by
refusing to let the other wolves eat
