An Ostrich Added To The Museum

An Ostrich Added to the Museum.

A baby ostrich, 35 days old, has been added to the bird collection at the museum. Before it died the newcomer belonged on Belle Isle, Detroit, where it was hatched in an incubator.

Taxidermist Norman Wood stuffed it very rapidly, for it came Monday noon in a very bad condition, and Tuesday morning it was completely mounted ready to be placed on exhibition.

"We are greatly obliged to the Detroit Park Superintendent," said Curator Sargent, "and wish other persons who get such curiosities would send them to us. In the museum they can be preserved for the public and add greatly to the collection."
