Tests Here Show Birds are living furnaces, for the 'most part living normally at body tem- peratures that in humans would indi- cate high fever, according to tests con- ducted by the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Studies were made of the cassowary, the Andean condor, the trampeter swan, the Javan adjutant, the pelican, the flamingo, the owl and the vea gull ‘The largest of these was the cassowary, ‘weighing 39 pounds. It produced about one-third as much heat as that pro- 'duced by a *160-pound man. The flamingo, weighing only 615 pounds, pro- duced the equivalent of that produced by a baby twice its weight. A great horned owl, weighing three pounds, roduced almost as much heat as a by weighing six to nine pounds. The body temperatures were found to range closely around 104, about six degrees higher than that of a man he birds varied widely among them- selves in heat production.
