A Fisher Cat.

In the upper reservoir at Mountain
View Cemetery are planted large num-
ber of German carp-the fishes now
ranging in size from four to seven inches
in length. The reservoir borders Blair
Park on the west, and the menageric at
the park consists of big "tom" cat.
"Tom" is an expert fisher cat. He
crecps along the margin of the reservoir,
and when a carp pokes up Its nose into
the grass at the edge of the lake to feed.
Tom deftly pulls his carpship out and
eats him. This is true cat and fish

necessary to prove it.-Oaklani Gall

encc is that in the chick the upper

characteristic notch behind the tip is
present. The nostrils are pcrvious. The

of the under surface light ashy gray, with
very slight il any fuliginous tinge, in

being very sharply defined.

of the feet as "buish, very light between
