Wesf s Interest In Things Feathered
Awakened by Sen. Fulbright's Speech
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Now
that I have become an appren
tice bird watcher, I find that I
have an awak
ening interest
in matters con
c e r n i n g our
feathered
friends. This
week, for in
stance, my in
terest was
awakened by a
speech that
Sen. J. William
Fulbright D-Ark.) delivered in
the Senate under the title "Sea
gull Wisdom."
II
Fulbright wistfully told his
colleagues that the human race
might have something to learn
from the seagull, particularly
as regards diplomacy and warfare.
Seagulls, he noted, never at
tack each other unless one of
them sticks his neck out. And
when hostilities do occur, the
combat is largely ceremonial,
so that nobody gets hurt.
What Fulbright didn't say
was that there are 43 species
of seagulls in the world, 23
of which are found in North
America.
The reason he didn't say that
was because it had nothing to
Small Worlds
Around Us
By LYNN M. WATKINS

Fire Brats Gravitated To
Hot Stoves and Fireplaces
Just about gone now are the
old ficldstone fireplaces that at
one time in early America cast
a fitful glow and doubtful heat
against the penetrating cold of
long winter nights.
Made of stone gathered from
ihe fields, and held together
with plaster, they usually occu
pied all of one side of a room.
They were crude, and seeming
ly indestructible, but time mast
ered them. Today there are but
few left.
On cold winter nights our
early pioneers huddled close to
the blazing logs in those old
fireplaces, and probably
watched in wide-eyed amaze
ment the small, slender, silver
colored insects that skated
across the hot stones, and wond
ered how such frail-appearing
creatures could tolerate such a
temperature on their unprotect
ed feet.
Across the hot stones of those
old fireplaces moved the creat
ures that out-lasted the stone
and brick fireplaces. In fact, an
cestors of those same creatures
have endured on this earth for
millions of years, and they still
are with us . . . small creatures
of tissues and fluids, living
things of a low order but living
beings capable of "hot-footing-it"
over almost red hot stones
with unfeeling concern.
At the lime, the people that
watchx! them run over Ihe
stones, even when the fire was
hot named ihem "fire brats."
Most folks that witnessed the
bugs on the hot stones figured it
was a miracle. And they weren't
far from wrong, for the ease
with which the fire brat endures
hot surfaces is not too well un
derstood. Our ancestors probably never
thought about it or cared, either,
that the long-ago ancestors of
those fire brats, millions of gen
erations removed, were crawl
ing with unconcern over the red
hot stones that enclosed the very
first fire some caveman ignited
thousands of years ago. The so
called fire brat is one of the
most primitive of insects. They
were on the scene a long time
before the dawn-man or the
later caveman found out how to
rub two sticks together to make
a fire.
They the fire brats are
still here, crawling heedlessly
over hot bricks or heated lids of
kitchen stoves, provided they
want to get across and there is
no way around.
Fire brats are a form of crea-:
ture commonly known as slick-:
ers, or siiverfish little crea-:
tures whose slender bodies are:
covered with silvery scales like:
a fish. They have three long,:
very conspicuous bristles on the :
rear end of the body pointing:
backward, and two antennae on
the head. They have chewing
mouth parts. The mouth is re
cessed in a cavity in the head.
They have a ravenous appetite
for wallpaper, old newspapers,
glue, or nearly any material
containing starch.
They dislike daylight, but be
come active at night. Being out
of sight most of the time, most
housewives seldom know they
are present. The siiverfish is
wingless, but very active ac
tually fast on its feet. The legs
are many - jointed with almost
the flexibility of a rubber band.
The cavemen, the old fire
places, even the hardy pioneers,
ail have passed away now, but
the fire brat has survived, tf
great grandfather ever wonder
ed how a frail insect could walk
over a red hot stone, he would
be shocked to know we still
don't know, even today.
Watch one sometime on a hot
stove lid. The little fellow won't
appear to be even the least bit
uncomfortable.
do with the point he was mak
ing. I just threw it in here to
demonstrate my own eradica
tion regarding seagulls.
I am, however, also informed
on another matter which may
have some bearing on the mes
sage Fulbright was imparting.
I refer to the behavior of pea
cocks. Contrary to the impression
ydti might have, a peacock does
not strut because he is proud.
He struts because he is clumsy.
The peacock walks with a
stiff-legged swagger to keep
from tripping over his own feet.
Also to balance his tail.
He is supposed to use his tail
to attract a mate. But if no
peahens are around, he will
spread it anyway, possibly be
cause he needs the exercise.
If placed before a Biirror,
a peacock likely will spend a
lot of time gazing at his re
flection. Ornithologists dis
agree as to whether this is
vanity or curiosity, and the
peacock isn't saying.
My own theory is that the pea
cock is a frustrated bird watch
er. Some peacocks have had tem
pers and will attack on the
slightest provocation. A natural
ist who observed them in the
jungle reported that they were
"as sinuous as a snake, as
stealthy as a cat, and as wary
as an old bull bison."
Aristotle, the famous Greek
bird watcher, once described
the peacock as having "t h e
feathers of an angel, the voice of
the devil and the entrails of a
thief."
It would be nice if, as Ful
bright suggested, people were
more like seagulls. But let's
face it. People are more like
peacocks.

sandbag crews were on standby
alert.
Civil defense officials at Port
Arthur said it appeared the

Cindy would be won, although
caution was necessary at least
through today.
"It looks like we've got it

rector John Oden said today.
"The water dropped two and
one-half inches overnight. The
water will drop lower with fee
outward movement of the tide."
Oden said there was still
three feet of water on the high
side of ihe eight-foot high levee.
He said that water would have
to drain off before the danger
was over completely.
