FISHING WITH BIRDS Lieut.. Ha-
bersham, in bis entertaining work, enti-
tied My last Cruise, relates a singular
occurrence. In a Chinese river that
dlsembogues in the Yellow Sea, he saw
a long, low raft of bamboo, moored un-
der the lee of heavy pier, on which
were Chinese fisherman, a basket, a
paddle, aud five duck-like birds, called
fishing cornOrants.' The fisherman
soon reabhep out his hand towards the
birds, the nearest of which at once wad-
died up to him and stepped into his op-
en- palm he smoothed his feathers with
his right hand, bent his mouth to. his
arched neck for moment, and then
put him on the edge of the raft. There
the bird dipped his bill into the water
once or twice, snapped his head from
side to side, aud ended by diving sudden
1y into the turbid stream that washed
bis feet After being down ten or ff-
teen seconds, he suddenly popped out
OF the water with q good-szed fish in bis
mouth, and swimming to bis master, de-
livered up tho prize. Tho fisherman
stroked him down as before, uttered a
few encouraging words. and the same op-
Grafton was repeated. Another bird
made one or two unsuccessful efforts,
when the master took him back on the
raft, slapped MIN soundly on the head,
and threw him angrily down. That cor
morant made tracks for the other end
and looked quite ashamed. The train
ing of birds for the purpose OF fishing,
is quite common in that part Of China,
end is often made valuable source Of
emolument.
