birds. “Whether spreading their wings

they are droll and interesting.
Ever-body has heard the expression,
"a stomach like an ostrich’s.” but no-
body can quite realize the significance of
the comparison until he attends a lun-
cheon given tothe creatures and watches
them dispatch their food. They eat all
sorts of vegetables, but above all things
they like oranges.
The avidity with which they seize and i
gulp down whole oranges is at once
startling and amusing. When their
keeper appears with a line orange in his
hand there is a scramble and fluttering
of great'flnfly wings. The fortunate
fellow who gets the fruit boltsit at once
