Tbe Soa« ot Ibo Grouse. Certain birds when tbe period of courtship comes round repair to partic ular trystlng places and announce their presence there by well known colls or signals. The ruffed grouse, as every one knows, seeks an old lor ot other con venient perch and drams with his wings, a hint to any lady grouse with in hearing that "Barkis Is wlllln.” The performance of the grouse Is one frequently beard, but comparatively seldom seen, and for many years there were numerous conflicting theories concerning the means by which the dramming was produced. Some said that the sound was vocal, and others declared that the groasc struck the log with Its wings. Even today the pre cise cause of the sound Is not known for, although the bird bos been closely watched, Its wing movements are so rapid that It Is next to Impossible to tell exactly what takes place. This much, however, Is known: During th< performance the grouse stands upoi the leg or other perch and strikes thi air In front of his body somewhat aftci the manner of an elated barnyard cock. The first few strokes ore measured, but they become faster and faster Until the Individual thumps are lost, as In the rolling of a dram. Whether the sound Is due entirely to beating of the air or whether It Is Increased by the striking together of tbe wing tips Is a question yet to be settled.—Hartford Times.
