One of the queer birds of the New
World Is the jacana. This is a small
wading bird with long slender toes
which would be hard to match in
the entire bird world.
The feet of the jacana are not
webbed, so there is no chance for it
to swim, but it can walk on the
water" after a fashion. Broad leaves
on the surface. such as lily pads,
give it support. It's long toes spread
the pressure to different parts of the
leaves. Commonly, it stands on two
lily pads while it looks for insects
or small water creatures which it
can seize.
Jacanas are most common in Mex
leo and the tropics. Their nests are
simple structures which are usually
placed on floating leaves. Four eggs
are generally placed in a nest. The
eggs vary in color. They are buff,
yellowish-brown or olive.
Like many other kinds of birds
the jacanas play wounded" When
their nest seems to be in danger
both parents run away, pretending
to be crippled. BY so doing, they
hope to lead the enemy from their
eggs or young.
Taking great pleasure in display
ing their wings, jacanas give q per-
Torrance by raising them over their
heads. Several Of these birds viii

One of the interesting things they
did was to molt-that Is, to shed
their skin. First, they fastened
their four legs firmly on the screen;
next, they split open their backs
and then climbed out, leaving their
transparent skins behind.
One day, as was walking through
the woods, q rather strange Incl
dent happened that induced me to
take up seemingly odd, but quite
interesting, phase of entomology.
Hanging from the branch of a
mountain sumach, saw a minia-
ture dragonlike creature about six
inches long with q head covered
with pointed horns. When touch
ed one of his horns he swung his
head viciously toward me-
I broke off the branch bearing
the creature, took it home and had
a naturalist identify it for me- 1t
was the larva of the regal walnut
moth, large harmless caterpillar
known as the hickory horned
devil"
After several days, 1t crawled
from the branch, and the next
time I looked at it, I saw the skin
bearing the horny head beside a
brown limbless insect two inches
long having q segmented lower
body. This was the pupa. which,
in the spring, will split its back,
and the beautiful regal walnut
moth. having a wing spread of
seven inches, will emerge.
I found several other large cater
pillars, which have changed to their
pupa stage, and with five others
received for Christmas, I have nine.
I keep them in a pot filled with
leaf mold, and once a week I
sprinkle them with water, because
Of the warm, dry house air. When
spring comes, I shall be looking
forward to some excitement, for
have never seen a large, beautiful
moth emerge from its pupa.

Eighth Graders Start
Bimonthly Paper at
c.. u. Campus School
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Michael Murray, IS,

Catholic University Campus School.
Every other week, If you come tc
my house, you are likely to hear
typewriters clicking. an occasional
call for the copy boy and other
things common to a newspaper Of
flee, for 1t is then that the staff OF
Campus Chatter is hard at work
Campus Chatter is the newspaper
that we put out twice each month
on our duplicator.
The circulation of this newspaper
is among the students of the eighth
grade at the Catholic University
Campus School, in which are most
of the staff. The staff itself con-
sists of myself as editor, Jimmy
Mulquin as assistant editor, Mark
Meagher as assistant editor, Jack
Cahill as a columnist and Francis
Kelly, copy boy and reporter.
Since we have Just put out our
second issue we are not yet vet
Grams at newspaper work, but we
are improving as we 60 along. We
are hoping and praying to get q
duplicator to replace the one we
now use, on which we can only get
IS copies. We have taken as our
office the attic Of my home at 140a
Otis street NE. and we have fixed
1t up really nice.
The paper itself consists of four
pages of editorials, society and
sports columns and other columns
and stories, together with a few ad-
versisements from some of the
neighboring stores.

cluster together in a group. Some
flutter their wings rapidly, but others
move them slowly. After the per-
formance, the group scatters.
There are dozens of other queer
wading birds, but one of the most
beautiful is the rose-colored spoon
bill. It's beauty is not due to its
flgure-which looks awkward on
close view-but to the fine color of
its plumage. The feathers are, in
general, of a pink hue, but some of
those on the wings and tail are
crimson.
The beak of the spoonbill is far
from looking, but it is built
for service. When the bird wades
in a marsh, it can use the beak
as a lever to turn up sticks. Then
1t may catch the creatures which
have been hiding underneath. The
broad bill also helps the bird to get
good mouthful.
Rose-colored spoonbills are found
only in the New World. Some breed
in the extreme South of the United
States, but they are much more
common in the tropics. Their nests
are crude platforms built Of sticks
placed in trees.
Found in Australia Is the yellow
legged spoonbill. It is a large bird
and is known by its white plumage,
straw-colored foreneck. and It's yell
low forehead, throat and bill.

OF all my pets, I think the
most interesting is my chameleon
Chico. "~ got him at the circus
four years ago this June, and ]
think he is healthy and happy.
Now this may seem bit strange
to you. but he lives on the dining
room curtains. When I first got
him. I trained him to stay on them
and he never jumps off He climbs
up and down all day and, at night
sleeps on the curtain rod. He
comes down on the window sill in
the morning for his food.
Feeding him is a small problem
It's easy in the summer, as just
have to catch flies for him, but in
the winter raise meal worms. The
first winter had him, didn't know
what to give him, so I went to the
Zoo and asked the keeper of the
reptile house, and he gave me some

raise them, you put them in q
wooden box with some type of meal
They reproduce very rapidly ano
live solely on the meal. The adult
worms turn into black beetles which
lay eggs, and it begins all over
again. Chico" which is Spanish
for small child, likes the young
tender ones. We keep a jar top
full of water on the window sill for
him to drink
His body and tail are each 3
inches long. He is usually grass
green unless he is on something
dark, and then he turns brown.
At various times Of the year, he
sheds his skin, which is white
transparent film. 1t stands out on
his body when he is shedding, and
he pulls it off with his mouth.

Washingtonian's Corsica
At COrc0rau Gallery.

A young artists whole hearted re-
sponse to Old World picturesqueneSs
is seen in the exhibition of water
colors by Donald Hall Robertson
which was opened at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art simultaneously with
the Washington Water Color Clubs
annual. This one-man show COM
prises nearly 40 paintings, most OF
which depict Corsica, where the
artist was stationed for II months
during World War II. There are
a few views of North Africa, and a
few of France.
They are traditional in character
and reflect the original scenes as
closely as the artist could approach
All were done ION the spot" an un-
common performance, since artists in
the service generally had time only
to make hasty sketches from obser-
vation, which they worked up later
into finished paintings.
Mr.. RobertSan'S water colors are
on fairly even level of competence
Dealing, as most of them do, with
the dark greens of countryside
gray or blue skies and sea and buff
colored buildings, they have a gen.
eral similarity of effect, but reveal
many differences of detail when
viewed individually.
Mr.. Robertson is a native Wash
ingtonian in his 20s. He majored
in drawing at Central High School
and graduated in 1896. He then
attended the Corcoran Art School
and won many prizes in different
classes of painting, including in
1888 scholarship to study at the
Tiffany Foundation, Long Island
The following year he was commits
stoned to paint a mural for a Mis-
sissipi post Office. He was repre-
sented in the 17th Corcoran Bien-
nial Q94D.
This exhibition remains through
