WHY BIRDS' EGGS ARE OF

It is thought that iges ago all
birds laid white eggs, continuing tate
practice of their reptilian ancestors.
Reptiles, which are eolcl-blooded
creatures, did not find It necessary
to provide foe coloration. protective
or otherwise, for their eggs. Not
being warm -bodied, reptiles do not
brood their eggs but depend Instead
on the sun's warmth or un the chem-
ical heat developed bY- decaying
vegetable natter to do the hatching
for them.
In the ease of warm-blooded lay-
ers, however, it was found necessary
to maintain a constant degree of
'Warmth during the entire incubat-
ing period, and the eggs Could 110
