BILLS AND TONGUES

Nature certainly excelled herself ln ingenuity when she contrived that wonderful structure in bird life which We call the bill. A few creatures other than birds have nwutltpants reaimbllng a bill. For example the strange animal called the du -bllled platypus of Aus- tralia and the hawk-billed tortoise of the sea. But in no class of imi-

“Appeasement is lgnominlous," he said. "It is mean, slinking and dlfihchesf- and above all it is ab- solutely futile. It is not a new thing. for it has been practised by all of its since man came to earth, The incentive to appen=e ls greater scrnetmies if the threat is directed against a. nation which is vulner.

The moot important use of the bill to all birds is lo secure and. in fact, pick up food. And when we mention this we at once think of tihe innumerable kinds of fcod bllldfi eat and the many places where food is sought. The water, mud. earth. air all yield various kinds 0f 100d to birds. Arid in their never-ending search we find birds turning over stones, digging into the gmund. pulling stumps and logs apart. hewing into trees and probing crevices. And in each case the seimcher ls given the bill whlxh is most suited for the pur-

pose.

The gulls, so familiar a sight on our lakes, will’ be seen to swoop and. with thc strong bills, snatch food from the Surface of the water. A shorter. weaker bill or a curved or hooked blil could not do this. And should the food be a slippery dead or dying fish the hooked tip secures it safely, Below the gulls we see the flocks of ducks which make frequent cxcursicns nelmv the surface. where, with their broad flat bills they seize mqum. fulls of vegetation, acquatic insects and other pond life. All this is likely mixed with muddy water.- ‘Ilhe duck simply forces the liquid out. through the salve-like edges of its bill with the fleiliy tongue re- lflifllnfi the food-a sim 1e oper- ation which no other bi could do.
