Those wlo cat heartily of bananas may
run somo lisk of bi coming tawny or
copper colored. This may be
4K)3aibly from tho peculiarities of plumage
in ot Africa. As long
as the weather i3 dry t'ae.sobirdaarogay,
tho primary and secondary feathers
gorgeously crimson', but when rain
comes the color is washed out, and tho
birds seem to be humiliated and ashamed
at the transformation. Hut the color
returns in dty weather. Tho causo of
the coloration has lieeu traced to copper
in a very pure state. A single feather
burned gives tho characteristic indication.
Tlio source of the tttraein has now
lieen traced to bananas, on which tho
tunicas feed chiefly. All tho nliorigines
who mako bananas a diet uro very deeply
tinted, but tho color is sooty rather
than red. Tho North American Indian
cannot owo his coppery hue to bananas.
He has only known of this fruit on reservations
nnd chiefly by the peelings.
