Now Extinct—The philly-loo birdgenerally flew upside down, which enabled it to absorb more violet rays from the blue sky and thereby stave off rheumatism. This rendered it almost impossible to se-eure a specimen, for when one was winged or otherwise injured, it invariably fell up instead of down.This bird was a comic supplement of the ancient rarustarus. It had a long bill, one arm to guide itself, tfas covered with hoise feathers and left a long, lizard tail track like a modern non skid tire. Pete says he rounded up a covery once on a hill near Bath and succeeded in getting the birds to circle the hill and as they circled each bird grabbed the tail of the bird ahead, and as the circle narrowed they.swallowed to take up the slack.I They kept circling and swallowing until each bird had completely swallowed the bird ahead and they had all entirely disappeared, and all that was left were a few tracks» KVa «nv nnn nrm ort rtriv*UltkUr ***v---* -----er makes —Hartland Herald
