TOHN AFGHAN STAMP NOT DAMAGED BUT CANCELLED Ned, an engineering friend of bit, I recalled seeing one some mine who had just finished a thing like it while browsing three-year contract in Afghanis- through Scott's Catalogue one tan, fished an envelope out of his day. pocket. The stamp was designed in a "I bought this in Kabul," he double circle. In the inner was said. "Got it for the equivalent a head which we learned was of a dollar.' I opened the envelope and shook it. A long, triangular piece of paper slipped to the table cloth. It was a section torn from an envelope, and on one corner was a stamp. It wasn't a whole stamp, though. For some reason, some one had gone to the trouble of cutting off a small section of the stamp and very neatly, too. "I presume it's an Afghan stamp," Ned said, "but I can't read Arabic, and by the time I came across it, I was out of the country and no one else was ly in things of the Far East." around who could, either."

The largest living' bird in the world is the African ostrich the only sizable flightless bird living in a country beset by large preying mammals such as lions. And for good reason: standing -even to eight feet tall and blessed with keen vision it can usually spy its foe; and then it can usually elude it by running making good about 40 miles an hour. A curious angle of the ostrich's life on the plains is that zebras and gnus often accompany it. Perhaps because of its height and keen vision, it is particularly sensitive to distant threats of danger and thus these mammals are able to achieve safety to a degree impossible by their own efforts. And whenever the os trich moves off warily, its "asso ciates" follow its example. A large ostrich may weigh 300 pounds and can kick (for ward, of course) with the power of a mule. It has been known to break a human's leg. In times past, a much larger bird existed and not more than 6,000 years ago either. This was the elephant bird of Madagas car. It may have been nine feet tall and its bones were massive quite likely the bird weighed a half ton. Its eggs, which have been found, measure from 12-13 inches and probably weighed about 18 pounds each. The bird with the greatest wingspan 11 feet plus is the albatross which spends its whole life at sea, coming to land only to have its young.

As, for North America, our largest native waterfowl is the trumpeter swan which averages some 65 inches in length, with a wingspread of six to eight feet. The cob (male) averages around 28 pounds. In contrast to these huge birds, the tiniest in the world is the male bee hummingbird of Cuba the smallest feathered creature in the world with a total length ot something like two inches, of which more than half consists of bill and tail. It takes 10 of them to weigh an ounce.
