A VOLCANO-LOVING BIRD
j One of tlio rarest parrots in existence has boon added to the London Zoo. It is known as a CJnildinp;’s parrot , a species so scarce that, so far as is known, there arc only throe specimens in captivity.
Tho species is confined to the island of St. Vincent, and is believed to have been almost exterminated in the past owing to the habit of the birds of nesting on the slopes of volcanoes, which j were once active on the island.
1 spiced with dashing solo runs and the ■ general good humor prevailing, wore j worth going a long way to see. I didn't know which side I wanted Ito win. The French Canadians were, j British subjects. and the Boston j players were British in every other j way. I went away feeling well satislied with a draw, three goals each.
