Can horses and dogs pick up a foreign language and still remember that of the land of their birth? This subject was broached by one of the speakers at the World Service exposition In Liverpool and It was declared that 'a British horse can recognize Its own language abroad.

The experts who have been consulted agree that tills Is BO. They emphasize the fact, however, that It la primarily the Inflection of the voice that the animal learns to understand when sent to a foreign country.

Not more than a century ago it held sway over the sky course from snowy Mount Hood on the north to San Jacinto on the south. This feathered giant nests only once two years and lays but one egg In an inaccessible crag near the mountain top. After the youngster Is hatched it remains for months a helpless' chick wrapped In Its natal Popular Mechanics.

Having bumped Into someone she murmured, "Pardon me." No one moved or scowled at her and, won- daringly, she turned to find, much to her companion's amusement, that she was being polite to a dignified figure In an attractive pink apron, marked News.
