| PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN
Assertion Made THAI Tot One Persos
in Ten Thou1 I'd Is Abso-
Iutely Sake.

Perfect health Of mind and body are
bolh exceedingly Iare. Not one "civi-
LIED" person Mut of ten thousand is,
perfectly healthy. Not one civilized
person out of ten thousand is perfectly
sane. That is to say, absolutely level
headed in all respects, not attaching
undue importance to his own hobby,
and with no prejudices against new
ideas, able to appreciate the other side
Of the question and to change his
ideas when he is convinced that he is
wrong.
Sanity has been defined as 1.-THE abil-
ity to accommodate oneself to ones
environment" Not bad definition.
Those who decry the manners and
customs of other races or people,
merely because they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-LoS

is "SPRlNTER' AMONG BIRDS
Australian Emu Unable to Fly but
Gets Over the Ground With
Remarkable Speed.

1.-THE emu Is a large bird, half the
size Of an ostrich" says Lee S. Gran
dali, curator of birds in the New York
geological park, writing of THE Trou-
bles Of Father Emu" in Boys Lie.
ut is found only in Australia, where
there is also a closely related bird
the cassowary. The wings are rudi-
mentary, SO that the bird is unable
to fly. But it does not suffer from
this lack, for its strong legs enable
it to run with great speed and agility
In fact, the emu is hard to catch and
for it is as elusive as an eel and can
kick with tremendous force. When
engaged in combat it leaps high In the
air, and launches a triphammer blow
strong enough to send a heavy man
head over heels.
"I'he feathers are loose and hair
like, with much the same consistency
as dried seaweed. Each feather ap-
pears to be double, for the after shaft,
q small feather which accompanies the
main feather in some birds, here
reaches an unusual size. In spite Of
its apparent inefficiency however, the
plumage Is quite waterproof, and the
emu can endure almost unlimited
amounts Of rain. snow and cold with
out discomfort,
1.-THE voice of the emu Is resonant
boom. In the male it is rapid, com
paratively light tattoo. The female
possesses large air sac, which hangs
down below the chest. and with this
she makes. at short intervals, d sound
like the slow beating of drum.
These notes, with variations, are used
for all vocal purposes, including court
ship. In. the emu, advanced creature
that 1t IS, the female makes the adj
vance and 1t is then that her ven-
throbs are heard at their
best"
