NEW YORK, June 22. Putting his

until her biiby birds are well develop
cd is tile c.ii'ious habit of one of the
slningcst birds in existence tuduv
the African Imrnhill, so called hc
cause of its large, humv bill.
The American Museum of Natural
History bus ,fut put on exhibition a
new group of these curious creatures
lo illustrate this remarkable nesting
habit.
When the l'emale bornbill is ren-ly
to lay her eggs she and her mate se
lect a cavity of suitable side, ill tie
trunk or large limb of a tree, lid to
120 feet aboe the ground, the next
being either in the main stem itr nn
the lower side of n hrnm-h nwav trmii
neighboring boughs or vines, which
makes il difficult of access to ene
mies. Into this loftv retreat the IV-
presidents.
Raymond Miksche, who registered
in Hreckenridge, Minn., received word
today to report toomorrow at Hreck
enridge, which being Impossible he
reported lo tho local board and will
secure a transfer.
In feeding his family the male
bornbill clings to the tree much
woodpeckers do, using his tail, which
has n curious hinge, as n support.
The female slays in the queer ncsl
from six to eight weeks, la Ihese
close quarters the two, three or four
while egus are laid and hutched ami
the young cared for until they are
nearly or quite Hedged. Then the
mud barrier is broken down, and the
mother apd her. oftY.prin set free.

lather has carried food to them, and

to he quite thin us a result of his
unusual activities.
The ahow group shows a mother
and one ynmgr bird walled up inside
their stranue net, with the father
hird at the narrow opening in the
mud wall, where be has just passed in
food to bis family.
This extraordinary precaution of
i:i prisoning the female is necessary
