tongues of birds,
Many people suppose that woodpeck-
ers use their sharp pointed tongues as
darts with which to transfix their
prey. It is true that the woodpecker,
like the humming bird, can dart out its
tongue with astonishing rapidity and
that its mouth is furnished with an
elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
vet, according to the authority men-
tioned, Investigation shows that the
object of this swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce it. For
the purpose of holding the captured
vietim the woodpecker's tongue Is fur
nished with a sticky secretion.
Considering its powerg of imitating
speech, It Is not surprising to learn
that the parrot's tongue resembles that
of man more closely than any other
bird's. It is not because the parrot is
more intelligent than the other birds,
but because its tongue is better suited
for articulation than theirs, that it is

Then he read:

“After the door was closed a

Greedy Little Salmon,
Little creatures may be very greedy
and yet not be able to eat much be
cause of their size, as was {llustrated,
for instance, in the case of a batch of
about 20,000 little Chinook salmon that
were hatched out at the squarium.
These young fishes, each about two
inches long, would eat so much that
thelr little stomachs fairly stuck out,
and yet to feed the whole 20,000 took
dally only one pound of liver and a
quart of herring roe, both chopped
fine.—~New York Sun.
An Exception,
“1 think,” sald the merchant, *T'll
have to fire your friend Polk. I never
saw any one quite so lazy.”
“Slow In everything, is he?”
“No, not everything. He gets tired
quick enough.” Exchange.
Easy Enough,
“I eanpot live but a week longer

“Really, duke! Now, how can you
fix on a specific length of time?”
“Ze landlord fix on it, miss, not i."~

Martian Life Dying.
A sadder Iuterest attaches to such
existence—that It Is, cosmically speank-
ing. to pass away To our
eventual descendabts life on Mars will
longer be something to scan aod
interpret. It will have lapse] beyond
the hope of stutly or recall. Thus to
us it takes on an added glamour from
the fact that it has not long to last
for the process that brought it to its
present pass must go on to the bitter
end until the last spark of Martian
life goes out. The drying up of the
planet is certain to proceed until its
surface can support no life at all
Slowly, but surely, time will snuff it
out. When the last ember is thus ex-
tinguished the planet will roll a dead
world through space, its evolutionary
career forever ended.—Professor Low.
