the early days, according to the London
News, the losses, owing to tempestuous
weather, bad ventilation and other
causes, were often of a very serious
character, and in some cases resulted
in the destruction of the entire living
cargo. As experience was gained, how -
ever, an improvement- took place, and
since the year 1889, when the losses
among cattle amounted to no less than
l of every thousand that were em-
barked, there has been a steady de-
crease in the mortality among this class
of animals, until, in 1893, it. was re-
duced to three per thousand, and dur-
ing the year 1891 to live per thousand.
Sheep are at all times bad travelers
when compared with cattle, the losses
among them during a long journey be-
ing almost always large, and during
the five years in question the average
losses amounted to 2S per thousand.
Notwithstanding the fact, however,
that, the importation during 1894 in-
creased nearly eight-fold, and leajMul
up to upward of 400,000, tine losses (hir-
ing t he past, year only amounted to 17
per thousand.
LEFT-HANDED PARROTS.
CuriouA Observation «>f One Wlio Has
Much to I)<> with Animals.
Superintendent Sol Stephan, of the
Cincinnati Zoo, has made all sorts of
curious discoveries in the habits and
characteristics of animals, the latest
of which, says the inquirer, is thai
wild creatures are mostly left-handed.
Mr. Stephan has been endeavoring to
verify this observation on two parrot •
lately brought frofn Mexico. lie found |
that in grasping a finger offered as i j
perch, the parrots almost always put ,
the left foot, forward.
I > ually the finger thus offered is that
of the right hand. Hut when the left i
linger is offered to the parrots, thev |
out forward the r'ght foot. There is, j
however, apparently a small nsiduum I
of preference for the left foot. This I
-eenis 1 > be due to the fact that men i
are umk-JIv rlght-lianded and otter the !
right hand to the parrot.
The left foot i the one naturally put j
forward by the parrot in this case, and :
through repetition of this action a i
sjHiei« s of left-footcdness is induced I
Mr. Stephen's general conclusion is
that there is no evidence that the parrot
is naturally 'eft-footed.
The appearance of that left-footed-
nes is chip rnt rely to the fact that
those who offer the finger or food to
i . : ot s «lt) o, as a rule, with the right
h::nd. Repetition of this process makes
the parrot more or less left-handed in
t ime.
