The Condor of the Andes

Up among the cold white peaks of the
Andes. higher than human foot has had
the daring to tread, is sometimes seen a
dark speck, slowly circling in the clear air.
The speck gradually descends. and we see
that it is the largest bird of the air. the
condor Its flight is swifter than the ca
ge's. Nothing but the distance could have
made the condor of the Andes seem small
and slow of wing. Swiftly descending.
strong, cruel, hungry. he fastens his horrid
eye upon some lucklesS lamb or kid. Rare
ly Is 1t able to escape or hide from its enc
my; successful resistance is impossible.
The condor cannot carry off its prey in its
talons like the eagle for it has not the ca
gle.s power of grasp, and the sharpness of
its claws is in time worn off on the hard
rocks which are its home: so, standing up
on the struggling animal with one foot, the
condor kills the poor thing with his power
full beak and his other claw.
Like many other greedy creatures. the
condor after his dinner becomes incapable
OF flight, and It is only then that he can be
approached with safety; but even now the
hunter must be cautious and strong. 4
Chilian miner, who was celebrated for his
great physical strength. once thought that
without weapons he could capture a CON
dor which seemed unusually stupid after
its heavy meal. The man put forth all his
strength, and the engagement was long
and desperate, till at last the poor miner
was glad to escape with his life Exhaust
ed. torn and bleeding, he managed to carry
of few feathers as trophies of the hard
est battle he had ever fought He thought
that he had left the bird mortally wounded
The other miners went in search Of the
body. but instead found the bird erect. flap
ping its wings for flight.
If the condor does not reach an untimelv
end by violence, it is. according to all ac-
counts, very long-lived. The Indians of
the Andes believe he will live a hundred
years. And the condor's home seems lust
suited for birds so ugly and fierce They
build no nests. but the female selects some
hollow in the barren rock that shall be
large enough to shelter her from the strong
winds while she is Matching her eggs.
Here in the midst of a dreadful desolation.
the ugly little condors begin their cries for
food, and after they are six weeks old begin
attempting TO use their wings. The par
ents manifest the only good trait they pos
sesS in their care for their Young feeding
and training them TO fly. so that in a few
months they are able To hunt for them
selves after the grim fashion Of their elders.
