About four times a
year, I receive a
newsletter from the
Remington people that
contains information
relating to new products
and tests being done in
their labs and on their
research farms. Also
included in these
newsletters are little
tidbits of information that
I find very interesting. I
thought I would share
some of these with you
and hope that you might
find at least some of them
informative and in-
teresting.
Insects have no lungs.
They breathe through
tubes runnin all through
their bodies.
Birds pro uce vocal
sounds with the syrinx, a
voice -box structure in the
throat.
The cricket frog holds a
kind of world's record for
the standing -broad jump
forty times its own
length.
The grizzly bear is the
only bear with a hump -on
its shoulders.
It . is untrue that the
ostrich hides its head in
the sand when confronted
by danger.. It kicks
viciously when cornered
or wounded.
The parrot does not
build a nest but lays its
eggs in the . soft dust that
accumulates at the
bottom of the trunks of
decayed trees. -
The chimpanzee has
terrific strength, equal to
that of several men.
The mouth of the sea
dragon is so small that it
cannot harm other fishes
or even defend himself
from enemies.
The praying mantis is
said to be the only insect
that can turn its head.
"Bullfrog" refers to a
specific species of large
frog. • The sex of the
animal is not involved in
the name; so the female
is also a bullfrog.
The starfish eats
oysters in the shell. It
pulls the bivalve open
with its suction tentacles,
then turns its own
stomach inside out to
digest the treat.
The eyes of black bear
cubs don't open until the
cubs are about forty days
old.
Collins riding In the 250
senior class brought
home fowth place over
all in a field of Ontario
and Michigan riders.
All house leaguers will
be on. hand for the final
house league race of the
1980 season this. Satur-
d, ay. Practice will take
place at 1 pm, with races
at 2 pm. Admission is free
and a pot luck picnic and
awards presentation will
follow the 25 lapper en-
durance race.

Although they are
subjected to much more
severe weather than are
other bears, only the
pregnant female polar
bear sleeps during the
winter.
All bumble bees die in
the winter,, except the
queen bee. She alone
survives to produce
. another generation.
The male swan is called
a cob, the female a pen,
and the young, cygnets.
Salamanders are
distinguished from other
amphibians' by the
possession "of a tail
throughout their lives.
Frogs and toads only
have la tail during the
tadpole stage.
Seals and walruses
have not yet, freed
themselves • fro
dependence on the land
on which they still must
bring forth tl eir young,
but whales and sirenians
live entirely in the water.
Female toads and frogs
are usually voiceless
'except for cries of alarm.
But males summon their
mates to the breeding
pools by voice. They call
with the mouth closed by
using the inflated vocal
sac as a resounding
compartment.
The wings of a butterfly
are made up of scales
similar to those on a fish.
The flight speed of the
wild turkey � has been
estimated at about 50
miles per hour.
Buffaloes and cattle
have hollow, permanent
horns. Deer antlers are
solid and shed annually.
Antelope shed the outer
sheaths from permanent
cores.
The ancestors of our
present-day_: goldfish
were- originally green in
color.
Although the size of a
bluebird, the pygmy, owl
is just as savage a killer
as its larger relatives.
Unlike other turtles,
the snapping turtle
cannot draw its head or
tail into its shell.
Copperheads can be -
easily identified by a pit
on each side of the head.
The legs of the penguin
are enclosed in the skin of
the body, thus making
their walk slow and
clumsy.
The Stanley Steamers showed they are just as good
as many city teams last weekend, when they placed
second in a tournament held in Varna. The
Steamers were runners-up in the championship.
