BIRDS VOICE ALMOST HUMAN
Remarkable Vocal Powers of Feath-
cred OweiIer of the Forests Of
the Amazons.

The banks of the streams in the
vicinity Of st. Paulo, in the upper
Amazons in South America, are dotted
with palm-thafched dwellings of the
Indians, al half-buried in the leafy
wilderness, the scattered families hav-
fng chosen the coolest and shadiest
hooks for their ahodes.
The traveller frequently hears in the
neighborhoud of these huts he organ
bird. the most remarkable Songster by
far of the Aunazonian forests.
When its singular notes strike the
ear for the first time, the impression
cannot be resisted that they are pro
duced by human voice. Some mu-
steal boy must be gathering fruit in
the thickets, and is singing few notes
to cheer himself
The tones become more fluffy and
plaintive. Sometimes they resemble
the notes of flageolet, and the trav.
eler is almost persuaded, In spite OF
the absurdity OF the thing that some
person is playing that instrument In
the primeval forests.
However closely he may scan the
neighboring thicket, no bird appears
although the voice seems to he that OF
some one near at hand.
The bird is rarely If ever heard In
the lower Amazons. 1t is the only
song bird which makes an impression
on the natives, who sometimes rest
their paddles while yoyaging in their
small canoes along the shady by
streams as If struck by the mysterious
sounds, a high compliment, indeed for
the usually lmpassive natives to pay
the feathered songster.
