A representative of one of the
largest and most substantial real
estate firms of Memphis, Tenn,
was in the valley a couple of days
this week looking for a body of
irrigable land for a colony of eli
ents. He had been in California,
Oregon, and irrigated districts in
other northwest states, but he
said that this valley looked the
best to him of any he had seen.
He was particularly impressed with
the Eldorado orchard tracts, and
it is altogether probable that he
will close a deal for this body of
land within the next 80 days.

Making Pets of Birds
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.

The basis OF the interest excited
by pet animals is the exhibition OF
mind, or intelligence, which their as
ISOLATION with human beings calls
forth. We are everywhere looking
for indications of the possession OF
mental power, and wherever the
slightest trace OF it appears we feel
that we have met with something
akin to ourselves.
The bird mind is in some ways
the most interesting OF all that we
encounter below our own level, be-
cause OF the peculiar physical struc-
ture and powers OF its possessor
When a bird seems to have a dawn
ing comprehension OF our wishes or
intentions, and responds to our ad-
vances, the impression that it pro-
duces is somehow different from that
made by similar indications of intel
ligence shown by four foot creatures
confined like ourselves to terrestrial
locomotion
Some of the stories told of the in
telligence of birds are almost in
credible. For instance, Prof George
Romanes, in his book on Animal In
telligence," describes an automaton
once publicly exhibited in England
which performed certain movements
in any order that the spectators might
demand 1t turned out that the secret
motive power was canary bird con-
cealed in the apparatus which had
been taught to run in different direc-
tons in response to particular words
of command, and its weight, acting
through levers, set the mechanism in
motion.
There is wcll-accredited story of
golden eagle which, having been
caught in a fox-trap that mutilated
its claw, submitted to a surgical op-
Grafton, at the Paris Geological gar
dens, in manner which impressed
all the observers with a conviction
that the eagle comprehended the in
tentions of its surgical attendants. OF
course, in such accidental cases the
onlookers are liable to ascribe to the
animals concerned more intelligence
than they may really possess, but
long familiarity with pet an
fords a better ground of judgment,
Linked with the example is a re-
cent one of golden eagle caught
when very small by British soldier
in the Balkans, and now as tame as
canary.
Wilson, the ornithoIogist, related a
remarkable story of pet crow, in
Delaware, which lived for years with
its master, and performed many
curious tricks to the amusement Of
the family of visitors, but at last sud
denly! disappeared. 1t was believed
to have been shot, but nearly year

later, as its master was standing with
some friends, one morning, on the
shore of a river, a flock OF crows
passed and one of them, leaving its
companions, flew straight toward the
men and alightcd on the shoulder OF
its old master, Cabling away with
great volubility."
But it refused to let itself be caught
or detained, and after having, as it
were, made passing call for the sake
of old friendship, few away in pur-
suit of the flock, now far off in the
sky, and was never seen again.
The wonderful power of mimicry
possessed by parrots is the chief cause
of their popularity as pets, for no
more striking evidence of quasi human
intelligence could be given by bird
than the capacity to repeat words and
sentences with an appearance of COM
pretending their meaning. What
could be,more amusing than the con-
duct of the parrot belonging to the
famous French naturalist, Button,
which, after being taught to offer its
claw to anyone who saidc Polly give
me your claw" at length acquired
the habit of itself asking for its claw
and then holding up the claw in re
Spouse to its own demand!
The description from DR.. Samuel
Wilks, F, R. S. of the education of
parrot, must interest every person
who is fond of animal pets. and be-
sides it throws some light on the
workings of the birds brains. When
beginning to teach sentence to a
parrot, says DR.. Wilks, it must be re-
peated many times, and all the while
the bird listens attentively, putting the
opening of its ear as near the speaker
as possible.
After a few hours the bird is
heard trying to repeat the phrase
that it has listened to. The first at
tempts are very poor and ludi-
crous," but eventually the words are
repeated perfectly in their proper
turban brim and shirred velvet in
gunmetal gray or mole color for a
crown, The band of fur is wired at
the upper and lower edges, and after
attaching it to the velvet crown, the
lower edge is bent into an elongated
shape and the upper edge plated, bent
or huted so that the turban adjusts
itself to the shape of the head. An
outstanding hedge of goura, sprouting
above the velvet crown, adds to the
smart effect.
