ANTICS OF WILD DUCKS.


Peculiar Habits Of the Fowl While On thu
Wing.
Many kinds Of birds indulge in curl
GUS serial performances during the mat
Ing and breeding season. Some Of the
best-known instances are those of the
night-hawk, the woodcock and the
snipe. Mr.. E. w. Nelson, in his s'Birds
Of Alaska" says that the pintail duck
has some very peculiar habits of this
kind.
He once saw pair rise into the air
and start off, the male in full chase
after the female, at marvellous rate
Of speed. Back and forth they went,
with frequent quick turns, now almost
out of sight overhead, now skimming
along the ground in an involved course
very difficult for the eye to follow.
Soon a second male joined in the chase,
then third, and so on, till six males
were wing with each other in the pur-
suit.
The original pursuer seemed to be
the only one capable of keeping close
to the coy female, and even he, from
her dexterous turns and curves, was
able to draw near only at intervals.
Then he always passed under her, and
kept so close to her that the two pairs
of wings clattered together with
noise like a watchman's rattle, and
audible long distance.
The chase lasted for half an hour.
One by one the males dropped off, till
finally but che of them-the original
one, Mr.. Nelson believes-was left.
Then the pair settled into one of the
ponds.
At other times Mr.. Nelson saw q fe-
male, when pursued in this way by
several males, plunge under water at
full speed, and suddenly take wing
again a few yards beyond, the males
all the while after her.
The pintail has also a habit, during
the mating season, of descending from
q great altitude at an angle of about
forty-hve degrees, with the wings
stihay outspread and slightly curved
downward. The bird is frequently so
high that the noise produced by its
passage through the air is heard for
fifteen or twenty seconds before the
bird comes into sight.
He descends with meteor-like swift
ness till he is within a few yards of tho
ground, when slight change in the
position of the wings sends him gliding
away close to the ground from one
hundred to three hundred yards with
out wing-stroke. The sound produced
by this swift passage through the air
can only be compared to the rushing Of
gale through tree-tops. At first it is
like murmur; then it rises to hiss,
and as the bird sweeps by it is almost
q roar,

her entire salary for the past two

THE FIRST SHAKESPEARE FOLIO.

at auction for ten pounds sterling, and
to-day fine specimen would not fall
for less than fifteen hundred pounds
sterling! What history for an un-
pretentious tome of old plays! !,
But even more precious are those;
squat quartos which represent tho abb
solutely first editions of many Of the
bard's productions. i
1t Is q little singular how few Of
them have survived. Heaps upon heaps

1ronsides and the strict fanatics who
took away England's pleasures and
gave her her liberty, yet one would ex-
pect to meet with more copies. They
were issued at six pence, most likely
on somewhat the same footing as the

Strand, dear to the ambitious amateur.
