the rate of 2,1O0 an hour.
The quail, most hunted of birds, has
no bad habits and eats 145 species of
insects in sumner and l22 kinds of

1000 chinch bugs; nighthawk, 600
grasshoppers; a Maryland yellow

The stomach of cedar waxwing
contained 100 canker worms; snow
bunting was found to have eaten 1000

a meal on 5000 seeds of the same

They are a strictly nomadic people,
who have wandered over this semi
arid land for centuries and have ac-
quired q prescriptive title to it, with

sultan" in whom all the property
of the Aool is considered to be vested.
This over-lordship usually passes
froIn father to son without friction,
and the responsibility for the physical
wel!-being of the Aool rests with him;
the rules for the care of the old and
young are prescribed by ancient Gus
tom, and the harmony of the Aool is
rarely disturbed.
1t is gay life which the Kirghiz
lead in their tents in the summer.
Chattering an unceasing chatter, they
watch the sun slip across the sky and
night finds them chattering still. If a.
stranger comes IL sight they jump
into their saddles and rush helter-
SHELTER to meet him. With loud cries
of "Amann! Amann, BaiP' they well
