to twist this ton around than to remove
it. Woodpecker#, sapsuckera, and par
rots, birds that cling to the trunks of
trees, have two toe* forward ami two
backward, the very bent arrangement in
the world for their purpose. The owl,
that uses Its foot Just as it would a
strong hand for gripping ami holding
its prey, has two too* forward, one wide
wise. and the fourth back, forming a
regular nailgrab, capable of a grip, from
which there is no escape, ami that gives
a mouse the shiver* when it sees it.
The ostrich, whose liff is spent as near
the ground as it is possible to get,
has a foot that has lost all semblance
to that of a bird, and has become noth
ing more nor les? than the- hoofs of
a camel, Nighthawks, chimney sweeps
ami swallows, whoso waking hours are
spent on the wing, have feet and legs
so weak and small as hardly to be able
to slip port the weight of their bodiw.
If by any chance, a wHJ&ipoorwill or a
nighthawk should liappcu to alight on
a fence rail or a liinb, they cannot sit
crosswise of the rperch, as* is the man

They a, re an object lesson in feathers
of t.I*e old saying": "If you do not use,
jkhi will lose." At one time they prob
ably had substantial feet for perching, '
but when nature saw there was no use '
in having them lug around a pair of
heavy feet all day, and then roost on 1
the gmuud at night, she allowed them 1
to shrink ami shrivel, until they' have]
hardly any at all. The feet of the
waders ami the swimmers are the very
last word in adaptation to environment. '
In the ease of the ducjcs., the geese and
the swans, the hind toe is either en
tirely wanting, or else it has degene- !
rated into 11 kind of a dewclaw, out of
the wn(y, 'and insignificant. Hut the
forward toes have not been idle, but
have grown a membrance called a web
1 that conmvts them, that maX??s the foot
1 an ideal, automatic paddle, a better one
] than man has ever devised. As the
! bird kicks <mt. the toes spread apart,
giving the largest -possible surface for
j pushing, and as they are brought for- |
ward for another stroke, the toes come
together, thus offering the least resist
mice. The legs of swimming birds are
u?uaU> very whort, ami while they an
?wer every purpose in the water, ou
IuikI they are iioprmftw-juhle, and in

the thrush. the robin or the lark, that

eagles, hawks and owls are powerful
hooked contrivances that can hardly let
go, once a fiitn grip is accomplished.
The claw* of mvost of the duck and goose
families have degenerated into very re
spectable toenails. The clatws of the
'-woodpecker -tribe are sharp, long and
curved, enabling the bird to take a

a bird wishes to keep secret the facts
