FIRST OF FEATHERED THINGS
Archaeoptervx Must Have Been q Re-
markabIe Looking Bird From Ae-
counts Of Ito. Appearance.

Today the birds are all quite differ
ent than they were years ago. The
first bird that was ever seen on earth
was called the Archaeopteryx, which
is a Greek word, meaning "ancient
wing" It was a very odd bird. 1t
had a long, thick tail, with bows OF
flesh and with feathers growing from
it. It was not like a birds tail Is
now, but more like lizards tail. It
had two legs, with which it could
walk and perch In the trees. It also
had two other limbs like hands, which
it probably used to climb about the
trees, instead Of flying from bough to
bough, as birds do now. Its eye was
fitted with a sort Of arm0r shield, as
the reptiles. Its beak was armed with
strong teeth.
OF course there is no such bird as
this now. and it is not surprising that
such a bird should pass away. Even
in these days two or three strange
birds have died out.
Men have killed many birds and anil
mails, but in making the world what 1t
now is, nature has killed far more.
Whole races Of animals have been de-
stroyed by earthquakes and floods.
In time nature changes all things
and so she did the birds.
