A Prnrressi,:, Robbery.

Young observers see substantially the same
process of violence on our southern seGShore.
In fact the process is going OH continually in
nature, for among dumb creatures every
where might makes right.
While they were stopping to overhaul a
huge pile Of eawsel, their attention was at
tractcd by comical, asthmatic cries for food
from sOmc Young penCanS from their nests of
drlitNoud in the mangrOve trees. The old
birds were hard at work diving for fish in
the lagoon The boys watched one, which
was quite near them, with considerable curl
osity.
1t would futter an instant over the water,
plunge down, and then, having caught its
prey, would rest its open. dip net bill on the
water while adjusting the catch in the capa-
ciouS pouch beneath. In one of these expe-
ditiOns a gull, with trained and eager eye,
lowering near, settled down on Papa Pell-
cans broad head and as the fish was tossed
about so as to drop into the pelican's pouch,
the thievish gull adroitly snapped it up and
sailed away with decisive "Ha! hat while
the pelican, as if accustomed to this sort of
pocket picking, simply tapped heavily up
again to renew its search for food.
But the gull, as the boys speedily saw, had
laughed too soon, for down upon it from the
nrighboring shore swooped strong winged
fish hawk With a shrill cry of alarm the
gull darted now this way, now that, in Zgzag
lines, striving with all its power to escape.
Fear and fatigue prevailing, he let his choice
stolen morsel slip from his grasp. Then the
hawk, with a lower swoop, clutched the fall.

Lightning at Sea.

Provided that the proper precautions are
taken, ships at sea are in no danger whatever
of being destroyed by lightning. OF all the
dangers that besst the seaman, lightning is
the only one that he can guard against with
perfect thorOughness Permanent conduc-
tors properly arranged, offer the most COM

fore this fact was wei understood lightning
was very frequent cause of damage to ship
ping. In the last quarter of the last century
and the first of this there were three hundred
caseS OF damage to ships of the British navy
from lightning. In the years 1909 to 1915 no
fewer than seventy vessels Of our navy were
entirely crippled by being struck. 1t was no
uncommon thing for vessels to be set on fire
so completely by lightning as to defy cxtinc-

were not killed by the electric discharge

His grief with years will grow.
Check not the infant laughter
He is too young to know
Too young, or smiles he wisely,
Feeling a gentle spirit

Is at his side or near it?

Nor see her loved ones grief.
