wealthy residents of this city who

A Naturalist Tells How 1t CoHducted Its
Peculiar Warfare.
1t is a common saying that birds go
a-fishing, but it is not generally known
that very often the case is reversed and
the birds supposed to be the enemies
of the fishes are caught in the tolls.
Several years ago, while fishing off
the Maine coast, the writer observed
what the fishermen called the running
of the dog-fish. One day the fishing for
cod, halle and paddock was excellent;
the following morning it had stopped as
suddenly as though command to all
the finny tribe had been issued by Nep-
tune.
The explanation was that an army of
small sharks, swimming in from the
unknown depths of the sea, had driven
away all the edible fish. This horde was
SO starved and ravenous that they were
a menace to life. If anything was
thrown into the water they rushed to
the spot; bit at the oars and sails that

other boys because it did not belong
to them. The first night Tommy owned
the bird he wanted to take it to bed
with him. His mother allowed him
to do this, but boy and bird both slept
in the woodshed. Tommy has since
made up his mind that the bird can
sleep by itself in the woodshed. He
said he was not afraid-of course not
but it was lonesome out there, and
his pet wanted to play with him and
wouldn't let him sleep.
