The old idea that the woodpecker transfixes its prey with its sbarp-tippod tongue is probably not yet extinct, but Herr Prevot adds his opposition tc this opinion, and states that the iuBects are agglutinated to its tongue by the sticky secretion with which its surface is copiously covered. Although the form of the tongue usually corresponds to the shape of the bill, there re exceptions to this rule, as for example, in the waders, kingfisher, and hoopoe, which, in spite ol their long bills, only possess small, cartilaginous tongues; in the pelican, iudeed, the tongue is altogether rudimentary. In most birds whose food consists of seeds the tongue is dart or awl shaped ; in others, spatulate ; rarely, vermiform or tubular. In some birds such as the owl, which swallow their prey entire, the tongue is broad aud serves as a mere shovel. In the hedge sparrow, nuthatch, woodcock, aud others, the tongue is bifid or trifid at its apex, while iu the hummingbirds the tongue is split iuto two brauches almost to its base, snd is used for actually gripping the small insects on which these resplendent little creatnrti,; KnliKlKf. In the family of parrots the tongue is provided ut its upe.x with a brush of some 250 or 300 hairlike processes. In the parrots, the tongue is thick nud fleshy, devoid of horny barbs or papillae, aud is even suspected to possess sense organs of taste. ? Nature. Russia's Royal Tombs.

This is caused by the water not tilling with sufficient quickness the cavity at the stern caused by the forward movement of the vessel. This lack of vater at the stern cuuses the ship to settle there and be pursued by a huge wave. In one of our small, very fast ships this settling, or "squatting," as it is usually called, was so marked that the crest of the followiug wuve actually boiled over the stern and broke upon the deck, and in some much larger vessels thb water comes pretty well ap towards the deck under similar circumstances. ?
