TIE ELDER DUCK.
Habits OF the Eird Whose Feathers Are
Worth Twelve Dollars Per Pound.

Habits OF the T;ird Whose Feathers Are
Worth Twelve Dollars Per Pound.
It is not fur alone that the sea gives
my lady, as she is indebted to this ele-
nent for the elder duck, that lives
mostly on the water and frequents the
small islands on various parts OF the
coast of Iceland, where, safe from the
attacks of land animals. they breed,
and. it may be easily imagined, their
rookeries are guarded by the natives
with most jealous care. Whoever in
Iceland kills an elder duck must pay
fine of thirty dollars, and the secreting
of an egg or the poekesing OF punches
of down is punished with all the rigors
of law there. During the breeding
season all boats approaching these is
lands are watched by the authorities.
No one is allowed to land without spe-
cial permission and guns are not per-
mitted in that vicinity. All noise,
such as shouting or loud calling, is
strictly prohibited.
The elder down is easily collected. as
the birds are quite tame The female
having laid five or six greenish olive
eggs in the nest, thickly lined with her
beautiful down. the collectors, after
carefully removing the bird, rob the
nest of its contents. after which they
replace her. She then begins to lay
afresh, although only three or four
eggs, and again has recourse to the
down on her body to line the nest with.
When her own stock is exhausted she
calls upon her mate with plaintive
voice, who comes to her assistance,
and willingly plucks the soft feathers
from his breast to supply the defcien-
CIV. When the collectors become too
avaricious they rob the nest 4 third
time, and the eldest duck abandons the
spot. never to return, and seeks new
home. where she may indulge in her
maternal instincts undisturbed.
The brakes are perfectly white, and
they watch their brown wives with
loud cooling. they remain on the wa
ter nearly all the time the females are
on the nest, and when the little ones
are Matched they are the most attentive
TO both mother and chicks.
1t requires about one and half
pounds of this down to make a coverlet
for a single bed. and the best down is
worth ten to twelve dollars pound.
The fact that most of the eggs are TAX
en- and picked for winter consumption
by the islanders, only few being left

propagation of these valuable BIRDS
