MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY
Having No Necessity to Use Wings
to Escape Enemies, Those Men,
bers Ceased to Develop.

OF the 70 kinds of birds existing in
New Zealand, 80 are found nowhere
else, and of this number by far the
larger portion is flightless; this, no
doubt, owing to the fact that for ages,
ever since the sea swallowed up a con-
tinent, leaving only the islands CON-
prising the present Dominion of New
Zealand, there have been no deStruc-
tive carnivora in the land, except those
small ones imported recently to aid in
abating the rabbit pest, and, having no
enemies, the birds also had no use for
wings, which ceased to develop, and as
years rolled by left many species with
only little nubbins for wings and alb
solutely without power of flight.
Centuries ago there were in exist
ence at least three varieties of gigan-
tic birds, two of which were as large
in body as the tabled roc, the rescuer
of Sinbad the sailor. These included
the Hapagornis, the Dinornis or Moa
and the Cnemiornis, which was a gi-
gantic goose. The Moa became ex-
tinct some 500 years ago. 1t was a
flightless bird, said by tradition to
have been a hunter of humans, a man
eater, was Of varying size and ex-
tremely plentiful.

Fish Couldn't Submerge.


Sitting on his porch the other morn

sized catfish floating downstream, a
Statesville IN. c. correspondent of
the New York Sun writes. The fish
was very much alive and was in much
commotion, apparently trying to go
under water and for some reason
unable to.
Mr.. Stewart was interested and he
got his boat, went out on the river and
captured the fish. He put it in a tub
of water and found that it wouldn't
sink. This led to further examination
and Mr.. Stewart says heo found the
fish had swallowed a large quantity
Of wheat-having access to the wheat

couldn't digest them and altogether
