Gus gas, and may die before help

To save themselves from such
fate, many miners-especially in
Great Britain-take canaries into
coal mines. After breathing a dan
gerous gas. a canary may fall from
its perch before the man carrying
the cage is injured,
That is a warning which the min
ers are quick to follow. They know
that they will die if they do not
take care.
The canary falls In a kind Of
swoon, but it usually does not die
if the men hurry to point where
they are safe from the gas. At that
point, they usually can bring the
bird back to health by supplying
it with oxygen.
The miners become very fond Of
their canaries. and treat them kind

them on and finish their work of
rescue.
On this continent we have birds
known as wild canaries" Although
they are not the same as the wild
canaries of the Canary Islands, some
of them are relatives of those birds.
Wild canaries of the goldfinch
type are related to the cage birds,
being in the finch family.
The summer coat of the male
goldfnch is largely of bright yell
low color. He has dark feathers on
his head, wings and tail.
People sometimes call yellow
warblers wild canaries" This is an
error, since the yellow warbler is
not a member of the finch family.
Their coats are largely yellow, but
they have sharp, slender bills. some
what different from canary bills.
