A Bird That Kills RattIers.

Riding in California one day nv
companion called attention to a bird
in the road ahead of me. 1t was
something like a prairie chicken, but
much more slender and graceful in
build. 1t was not using it's wings,
but it moved very rapidly, and we
had to keep the horse in a pretty
good trot to keep up with it. My
friend told me that it was a road
runner" a bird that was noted there
for it's pedestrian accomplishments.
and a peculiar habit they have is to
walk always in the center of theroad
When one of these birds meets Il
rattlesnake it behaves in such coy
manner that it leads the snake to
think it will become the victim of it's
charm, and while it is keeping the
snake in doubt as to it's intentions it
runs about in the cactus and
picks off the thorns with its bin,
dropping them in a circle around the
snake until it has him completely sur
rounded by cactus thorns. Then it
flies to some elevation aud sits there
to watch the snake stick himself to
death on the tborns trying to get
out of the ring.-J. S. Normile in st.
