At. Ma-Lachewan the new quarters erected for the deputy chief ranger are being built and equipped. Rapid pro- gress has been made on the head- quarters building. which will provide facilities for the office and crew and Deputy Chief Ranger Jack Depencier. A boathouse and storehouse are also being erected. . New headquarters buildings are also being constructed at Temagami. in- sports from the district Forestry headquarters at North Bay show that there is considerable construction work in progress at the present time in Nor- thern forestry work and in readiness for the work of the branch. At Matachewan and Temagami the signs of activity are especially marked. New Buildings For the Forestry Dept.

This bird is called the "take". which is the baori word for ‘parrot". and it is said to be an exceptionally good mimic. Another interesting New Zealand parrot. which has not yet been postally honoured. is the kakapo. or "owlâ€"parrot". so called from the owl- like appearance of its eyes. Like the Wingless, tailless kiwi bird. the kaknpo is unable to fly. hunts its prey at night, and utters deep grunts of satis- faction when it finds an exceptionally toothaome. or rather beaksome. morsel. For. strange as it may seem, the kea parrot is an incorrigible sheep-killer! Flocks of these fierce little birds will worry a sheep until it is exhausted and then bite deeply into the rich fat over the kidneys. causing the unfortunate animal‘s death. Just how the keas ac- quired this unnatural taste for mutton has never been satisfactorily explained. Some authorities say that the parrots :riginally mistook the woolly backs of the sheep for huge masses of lichen. common to New Zealand. of which the birds are very fond. and then found a meat diet far more attractive than a vegetable one. At any rate. so many sheepâ€"killing keas have been shot by irate farmers in recent years that the species is now almost exterminated. is shown at the left of the above post- age stamp. is far from sharing this general popularity. and instead of be- ing tamed as a pet. it is actually classed as vermin and large bounties are paid for its destruction! The Kea. and the Kaka For over two thousand years parrots have been highly esteemed for their remarkable ability to imitate the hu- man voice. Instead of being killed for their brilliant plumage or hunted as game birds. they have always in most parts of the world enjoyed the privi- leged position of a family pet. The kea parrot. of New Zealand. however, who day th except stamps Unable to roost in a tree like other birds and having no nest worthy of the name. the kiwi sleeps standing up. with its long beak stuck into the ground in front of itâ€"a position which aviators would describe as “a perfect three- point landing"! The ungainly body of this strange little creature is covered with long. coarse feathers. which are much used by the Maoris in making ceremonial capes. This has resulted in the kiwis being widely hunted. and to- day there are very few of them left except on New Zealand's postage with a pair of large and powerful legs that enable their owner to scuttle over the New Zealand countryside at great speed. It also possesses a long. flexible bill with a pair of sensitive nostrils con- veniently located at the very tip.

Cobras are usually about five or six feet long. although the great hama- dryad. or giant cobra of the Malay Pen- insula. attains a length of twelve or thirteen feet. The young are hatched from small. spherical white eggs. and they generally live in the walls of old abandoned buildings. Cobras are good swimmers and can even climb trees, but they are of a sluggish disposition and will not attack humans unless molested. The lightning-like speed with which the snake can strike makes them dreaded by other animals. but there is a. little Indian weasel called the mongoose that is even quicker than the cobra. An interesting story about a fight be- tween a mongoose and a cobra is Kip- cobra once spread his hood over Brahma to protect him from the sun as he slept. and in gratitude the god placed his own seal upon the serpent so that none might harm it. This dis- tinctive mark appears on the hood In spite of the cobras evil reputation no high-caste Hindu will kill one of these snakes, since they are supersti- tiously supposed to be under the pro- tection of the great god Brahma him- self. An old Hindu le‘gend says that the causing death within thirty minutes swan. but. if you look very closely in the lower left-hand corner. you will also see a coiled Indian cobra. the deadly serpent whose bite is always fatal and who causes over five thousand deaths annually in India alone. The Cobra One of the few postage stamps which pictures snakes is the French India issue illustrated in this column. Its strange design represents the four- headed Hindu god Brahma. riding on a Since the zebra is immune to the tsetse flies and other deadly pests that kill off European cattle and horses throughout Africa. it has often been suggested that they be tamed and used as draught animals. Many successful experiments of this nature have been made. but generally the cost is pro- hibitive. and zebras are always nervous, highly strung animals that fight sav- agely among themselves on the slightest- provocation. Stamp collectors might be interested to learn however. that for some years zebra teams were actually used to draw the mail wagons of South- ern Rhodesia! on the stamp. there is the so called _m(.un.a£n zebra of the Cape Colony ’region. and Grevy‘s zebra. which is the flargest member of the family and is .tound in the mountains of Abyssinla. _I; is interesting to note that the word g‘ze‘ura" i<. an Abyssinian word mean- =ina “anything with black and white Istripes”. and is also applied by the in- !discriminating Abyssinians to guinea hen-s! The Dutch settlers of South Africa always called the zebra the "home qttagga“. from the animal‘s pe- culiar. bark-like neigh that resembles the sound of “qua-ha-ha". For years hunters and naturalists. not the least of whom was Theodore Roosevelt. wrangled bitterly over the r-eas:n for the zebra's exotic colouring. One school of thought argued that. the brilliant black and white stripes acted as a sort of camouflage and enabled their owner to blend imperceptibly into the lardscape. Others scoffed at this theory of "protective colouration". as it was called. and said that it would be difticult to imagine a more conspicuous animal in an open plain than the At- rican zebra. The truth of the matter seems to be that the zebra's remarkable stripes serve no other purpose than that of ornamentation. During the daytime the. zebra's fleetness of foot saves it from its natural enemy, the lion. but at night (when the stripes are no longer visible anyway) the King of Beasts‘ exacts a. fearful toll from these unfor- tunate creatures as they come down to the water to drink. In fact the zebra constitutes the lion‘s stable diet. and‘ the great cat‘s deep, coughing roar (which he artfully magnifies by hold-t ing his muzzle close to the ground) will cause zebras that are miles away to stampede wildly in helpless circles. l 0! “he or these variety kncwn A!
