The origin of the peacock was in India and Ceylon, and this is why we see so frequently the bird on the art objects of these countries. Peacock shooting is still a recognized sport in some parts of India, but its former popularity as a table delicacy has ceased, though the flesh is white and is said to resemble a pheasant in flavor. The eggs are also edible. For the production of the feathers these birds are bred in France, but to a small extent, as they are difficult to rear, because in a big area they wan der off and if inclosed within narrow limits they become mischievous.

COAST 11,511 MILES LOff Sailors Engaged in Philippine Coast wise Trade Cannot “Get Home to Dinner." Deep-sea sailors used to laugh at their brother mariners of the coast wise trade, and refer to them as men who “like to go to sea when they could get home to dinner.” This gibe w’ould have little point in the Philip pines, the coast line of which has been found to measure more than 11,- 000 miles —to be exact, 11,511 statute miles. In the Philippines there is one mile of coast to every ten miles of area, the total area of the islands be ing 115,026 square statute miles. These figures are interesting when it is considered that the ratio in the United States is 232 square miles of area to one mile of coast line. The figures for the United States have ref erence to the coast line of the main part of the country, including islands lying near the coast, but not including non-contiguous territory such as Alaska and Porto Rico. The coast line of the United States so measured, with what the experts call “three mile steps,” is 13,026 miles, less than 2,000 miles in excess of the coast line of our eastern possessions.
