Humming Birds Remarkable Tongue.

Some curious data have been gathered
with respect to the tongue of birds 1t
is pointed out that many persons sup
pose that woodpecllers use their sharp
pointed tongues as darts with which to
transfix their prey. 1t is true that the
woodpecker like the humming bird, can
dart out its tongue with the greatest
rapidly. and that its mouth is furnished
with an elaborate mechanism for this
purpose. yet investigation shows that
the object of their swift motion is only
to catch the prey. not to pierce it. For
the purpose of holding the captured vic
tim, the woodecker's tongue is furnished
with a sticky secretion.
Inasmuch as it possesses the power of
initiating speech. it is not surprising to
learn that the parrots tongue resembles
that Of man more closely than any other
birds tongue II is not because the par
rot is more intelligent than many other
birds. but because its tongue is better
suited for articulation than theirs that
it is able to amuse us with its mimicry.
