Oriental Statecraft The part which gesture plays in Ori ental drama is set forth in a recent Hindu volume, which says that there is a fltUng gesture to represent every emotion. The gesture, in fact, Is de scribed as deaf-and-dumb alphabet of the soul. There are nine movements of the head, corresponding to nine emo tions, mentioned by one authority, 24 by another; 28 movements of the sin gle hands, and 24 or 20 of the double hands, etc. ; also "bands" denoting an imals, trees, oceans, and other things. For example, a certain position of the hands denotes a certain emperor, caste, or planet. The translator says j rather naively that only a cultivated audience can appreciate Indian "ac tor's art."

The male Is fond of perching on the tiptop of tropical trees and making n noise like a young puppy. The natives in Africa find young hornbills easily tamed. They dig the birds out of the tree nests when quit young and raise them on milk and berries In their huts. When grown the hornblll remains attnehed to its foster parents and will eat out of the same dishes. Left free, the hornblll comes and goes much as does a pet crow and remains about the hut un til the first mating season, when it goes away with one of its kind, rare ly to return.
