It has been stated that the boatbill
was the laziest bird in the world, and
those who have examined the species
at the Zoo agreed with the declaration,
though the other day they were -for
boathills-in an unaccustomed state
of energy, says the London Chronicle.
There was one in the diving bird
house, for instance. He was squat-
ting on a perch in the recesses of the
root looking wonderfully solemn and
sedate, and resembling an odd gentle-
man with a black skull sap, a gray
swallow-tailed coat, and an expanse of
white slfirtfront-an early Victorian
edition of an old gentleman, in fact.
His movements were timed over half
an hour, and they consisted of this:
Opening twice and shutting once the
big bright eye exposed. Further, with-
out a motion of Ma beak, he emitted
a quint, hollow note -which was sur-

WHY LEAVES FALL.
Botanist of Java and Ceylon Seeking
Light oh Subject.
From a study of the growth and fall
of the loaf in perpetual summer,
botanists in Java and Ceylon have
been lately seeking new light on au old
subject. At the Botanic Gardens at
Buitenzorg, Prof. G. Volkens has found
the climate not quite uniformas there
is a periodicity in precipitation, relat-
ive humidity and insolation; and from
records of nioie than 100 tree species
growing in the gardens, ho has obtain-
ed illustrations of nearly every kind
of foliage; behavior -some trees being
regularly deciduous (accustomed to
losing their leaves) once or twice a
year, certain evergreens having mark-
ed periodicity, and others having uni-
form • foliage gradually renewed
throughout the year.
He concludes that the leaf -fall is not
due to the checking of activity by an
excess of stored food, some unknown
internal action of the protoplasm seem-
ing to him the primary cause. On the
other stand, Prof. G: Klebs decides
that periodicity of plant habit is gov-
erned by periodicity of external con-
ditions and that the supply of food
materials may play a leading part.
His conclusions are based partly on
experimentaltoity, altering of the` period -
Trees stripped several menthe be-
fore the usual time have renewed
their foliage and continued ,it during
the season when they are usually
bare; some deciduous .European trees
In the tropics no longer wholly
dropped their leaves at any season,
and tropical trees of periodic habit
have been made to change their period
by varying the fertility of the soil.
Pearls of Truth.
A Strange Pig.
Five-year-old George had spent
the summer in the country, where
he was much interested in a neigh-
bor's pig and cow. On his return;
to his city home he was asked what
he liked in the country.
"I liked Mr. Johnson's pigs
best."
"Ah I How many pigs has ' Mr.
Johnson?"
"Two." •
"What color are Mr. Johnson's
pigs?"
"One pig is white."
"What color is the other, pig?"
"The other pig's a cow."

stone is among other peoples.
These mats aro really works of at t
and are worthy of the boasts which
the Samoans make concerning them.
Some of them have names known
all over the group and are very valu-
able. The most valuable as well as
the oldest is called Moe-e-Pui-Pus, or
"The mat that slept among the creep-
ers." It got this title from it having
been hidden away for years among
the creeping convolvulus that grows
wild along the seacoast. It is known
to be at least 200 years old, as the
names of its owners during that time
can bo traced.
The possession of such a mat as this
gives a pertain rank and power to its
owner, and the poorest among them
have been known to refuse $500 for
such a family treasure.
