“ Many a true word is spoken in lest,” and most mothers will emphatically agree that this applies with some force to the evergreen Christmas joke about father playing with junior’s toys. At the Otago Museum, a recent installation consists of a . number of pictures of New Zealand birds. At the base is a jumbled collection of their names, with a plug socket beneath each picture and each name. Two nlugs are provided, and if you plug one under any picture, and the other under what you think is its name, a red light tells you if your knowledge is all it should be. It has proved an irresistible attraction to the kiddies, and there are now few who can be tripped up on the birds portrayed. Adults ate equally attracted, but.for the most part in a more surreptitious fashion. Watch one as he tests out his avian knowledge. Under your fiance he will probably redden and stroll away, but it is even money that he will be back within five-minutes.
