Strange Humming Birds

NEW YORK. Feb. 2l.~Among the
passengers who left today aboard the
United Fruit liner Almirante was an
expedition of three persons t"om Tue
son. Ariz.. bound for Chile to catch
strange humminR birds.
In the interior OF Chile. according to
the party's loader. Andrew Farenheit.
a naturalist, they will search for an un-
classified species OF humming birds.
Unlike the usual humming birds, said
Fahrenheit. the Chilean birds whistle in
shrtll tones. Initiating any sound they
NAV hear.
That is the strange feature of these
drumming birds said the Tucson natu-
ralist." for the ordinary species have
no song. their only notes being mere
suueaks Of emotion. A few tropical spe-
cies have been said to be slightly mu-
steal. and this we seek evidently Is an
abnormal development Of the latter, al
though ] imagine 1t might be an Off
shoot of the Calliope humming bird
known scientifically as the Stellula Cal
liope. There are numerous varieties in
South America, including the Patagonia
J gigas. Of the Andes, an eight and hall
inch giant.

BRUIN ON ROLLER SKATES
A Remarkable Bear will Delight the
Crowds at the Vermont State Fair

Much is appearing in the State
press of late regarding the bears that
have been captured within the borders
and tothe average reader it would ap-
pear that the commonwealth is being
overrun by bruin. Not satisfied with
the number of bears reported to have
been captured and the number sup
posed to be at large, the Vermont
State Fair Commission has entered in
to the importing of bears and will
bring one to the State and exhibit him
at the eighth annual State Fair at
White River Junction, Sept. IA, Is, 16
and II.
This is no ordinary bear and while
he may have had birth in Vermont, he
was captured outside the State. In
infancy he had playmate who almost
daily skated on roller skates on the
pavements of the east side of New
York City. This little boy conceived
the idea of teaching him how to skate
and he was successful. Bruin took to
skating with almost the same alacrity
that a duck takes to water. A show
man one day saw the bear skating on
the walk and he purchased the animal.
This is how the State Fair manage
ment was successful in securing this
attraction.
1t is said that this bear is wonder
full performer and one the elevated
stage in front Of the grand stands he
will show his cleverness at the the
State Fair exhibition.
