last December. In the Tribune story,
Mr.. Norris told of his loneliness, and

letters.

The demand for table ducks at
good prices is mostly limited to few

this lack Of wide market materially
influences the establishment and

"A prejudice against the duck flesh

Hidden Gold, Strange Birds and
Giant Tortoises on the
Galapagos.

Washington, d. C.-"The Galapagos
Islands are being revisited by scien-
lists because they form an incompar-
able natural history museum" says
bulletin from the Washington Cd. c.
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society.
Charles Darwin began their scien-
tific exploration and he reported on
the various species Of giant tortoises,
each species confined to a single islet,
and pointed out that half the flowers
and half the birds Of the island are to
be found nowhere else In the world
"More than 1900 volcanic cones be-
sprinkle the archipelago, one estimate

accounts for the peculiar interest they
hold 10 science. Darwin deduced that
the group has not been nearer the
mainland, nor have the islands been
closer together than now.
How PecuIiarities Developed.
"Hence the species OF flowers and
birds which drSfted to the islands have
undergone development In their iso-
lated environment very different from
that In their native habitats. Seldom
has nature provided such a clear-cut
opportunity to study the processes Of
evolution.
''The Galapagos hold a different
sort of lure for the modern world.
