The ‘““Wish-bone.” Scientists call the “wish-bone” the fur- cula, and it is the union of what are, in! man, two collar-bones. These receive the brunt of the strokes of the wing that turn the creature in its flight. Few of us ate the strength of stroke of the bird's wing. A swan has - | been known to break a man's leg by a | blow of its wing, and, in like manner, the wing beatings of the larger birds are dangerous if they strike the human head or face. If, therefore, a large bird is in the habit of making sudden turns to right or left in its flight, it must be fitted with a “wish-bone"” capable of withstanding the great strain of the wing stroke on the one side, when unaccompanied by action on the other. For this reason we find in the eagle and birds of its class that turn quickly a furcula thatis a perfect Roman arch, widely at variance with the Gothic arch, T. uged | which is the shape of the “wish-bone” of wrong himself out of a hole in he had supposed to be put there poses of ventilation. “I don’t know how we're ever going to Shee a stangit he 55 to Me Jule ihe she was helping him out 0 ipping ap- day after they were introduced, and again | parel three weeks later.
