long-liyed and no other class of rep
tiles is so we'll protected from their
enemies.
Among the flowers. too. one can
find uniformity in the number of pet
ais, stamenS and other features. Take
the great rose family. known as the
Rosaceae, for example. which not
only includes all the roses. but also
most of our northern fruits, such as
apples. pears ounces, hlaCkberries,
raspberries and others. All of the diff
ferent wild roses have five petals. and
although the cultivated ones have be-
come double through selective breed
ing, you will find at the base of the
flower, If viewed from the back, the
original five petals. Very often when
roses drop their petals the five basic
ones are the last to fall The flowers
of apples, pears, ounces, and, in fact,
of all fruits that belong to the family
Rosaceae, that have come under my
observation have uniformly five pet
ais. / believe this to be general
through this whole group of plants.
X
THE lily family, or Liliaceae. repre-
sentatives of which can be found
over almost the whole world, have
without exception six petals. You
will find the flowers composed of three
outer petals which form the bud and
three inner ones. Easter lilies, st.
Joseph or Madonna lilies, Tiger lilies,
Speciosum lilies from Japan, our
Turks Cap lilies and all the others
have six petals. and, / might add, six
stamens as well. 1t is remarkable
that this characteristic should be SO
uniform in plants distributed SO wide
ly over the earth. A few plants er-
roneously called lilies, such as the
Gala lily, which belongs to the Arum
family cannot. of course, be classed
with this group.
Other families of plants are con-
sistent in having specified number
of petals in their flowers, but l will
enumerate only a few examples. The
irises invaribly have six petals, the
triliums and tradescantias have three,
the primroses five, and so on.
The large group of plants known
as the composites, or Conlpositae,
have usually a large number of what

adayS each particular athletic sport

less out of proportion with the Other
parts of the body. Caricaturists take
advantage of this in making their
comic pictures of sports. The Greeks
had their Pentathlon or five sports, all
very different and their athletes prac-
ticed all commonly.
More than that, they were brought
up to varied gymnastics, and without
clothing"

are not strictly SO, but are known to
botanists as bracts. These bracts are
extremely variable in their numbers
and there seems to he no set rule in
this regard. The composites include
such plants as daisies. aSters, sun
flowers and gaillardias.
The centers of the composite flowers
are made up of many tiny individual
flowers. These flowers will be found
on examination TO be quite uniform
as to the numbers of their petals,
usually having five.
OF all living things, insects are the

T y the American Museum of Nat
ural History. in New York City,
are many paintings. mostly of
i birds, by the eminent ornitholo-
gist, John James Audubon. While
the writer was in this museum one
day discussing the merits of these
pictures with one of the curators
the latter criticized the artist for his
inaccuraCy in not drawing the proper
number Of feathers in the different
birds wings and tails. At that time
II would not have occurred to the
writer to make such a criticism, for
although he had studied birds for
years, he had not given this particu-
lar subject any thought.
This incident aroused my curiosity
so that | determined to investigate.
[ found that all the birds belonging
to the order Passeres. which is the
largest class or order of birds and in
cludeS all the common song5irds,
have invariably II tail feathers. EX-
anime any canary, sparrow, crow,
robin or catbird and YOU will find
that they always have II tail feathers.
Then, too, they have "A certain def
mite number of wing feathers. The
birds just mentioned all have 10
primary wing feathers; that is, there
are 10 feathers from the extremity to
of the wing has about eight feathers.
The albatross, which has the long
est wings of any bird has also the
greatest number of wing feathers,
having 48 on each wing, while the
smallest of birds. the humming birds,
have only 16 wing feathers and, 10
tail feathers. There are over 500

Gathers.
WHEN counting feathers on birds
w care must be taken to choose a

! have just mentioned these few
| instances to show with what wonder
full regularity even feathers are placed
on birds. Different classes of birds
have different numbers of feathers,
conforming to their varied needs. Even
! their body feathers do not grow at
random any-which-way. but are placed
| with great regularity and evenly
spaced. forming what are known as
feather tracts.
1t is apparent how difficult it would
| be for a bird to fly if there were not
exactly the same number of feathers
| on each wing, as even one feather
more or less would throw the bird out
of balance. During the molting sea

The men of athletic sports acknowl-

up several champions and take one
part of the body from one and an
other part from another and piece the
model parts together to have a per-
