Of the 70 kinds of birds, existing In New Zealand, 30 are found nowhere else an,djof this number by-far the f , , ""larger ! portion is flightless; this, no YTrgHr; i3aaea-swauowH-n-i-V"V J tinent, leaving only -the Islands com- prising the present Dominion of New tr . Zealand, there have been no destruc tive carnlvora In the land, except those small, ones imported recently to aid in v abating the rabbit pest, and, having no ' ... ' enemies, the birds also had no use for' wings, which ceased to develop and as years; rolled by left many species with only little nubbins for wings and ab . jBolutely without power of flight. Centuries ago there were inexist encet at least three varieties of gigan v, ' tic irdsu two of which were as large In body as the fabled roc, the rescuer of Slnbad the sailor. These included V'.-. the Hapagornis, the Dinornis" or Moa and ;; the Cnemiornis, which was a gi gantic goose. The Moa became ex ' tinct some 500 years ago. It was a flightless bird, said, by tradition to have been a hunter of humans, a man eater, was of varying size and ex-' , tremely plentiful. Had to HaVe "Atmosphere." - That actors cannot labor without at mosphere was demonstrated the other day, when a man went amidst of a lumdred or more idle thespians who were holding down the curbstone on the Rialto, and said aloud: "I want to hire about 20 men on contract. If any of you men want work,- follow me.' jElghty-seven;d.dlsengaged thespians followed the mysterious stranger to ZPZ ?tyrsecond street, according to the New "York correspondent of Jhe Pittsburgh Dispatch. There , the mysterious istranger faced the multitude and said : "Three and a half a day for you. Will you; take it?" ''What kind of a show is this?" several actors de manded. "All you've got to do is to push a wheelbarrow across a "plank eight hours a day and get three-fifty." And then they, all walked away, mut tering grievously and wondering where, as artists, they were at. The mysterious stranger was a building contractor. And because hecould not get wheelbarrow men and sand shov uelers he was compelled to stop work on a skyscraper. v Beware Deadly Nightshade Berries. "'.The berries of the deadly nightshade.
