The Loon.

The loon is found in all the north
ern states. 1t is a very awkward
bird on land, but a graceful and
rapid swimmer. 1t is a rema rkable
diver, and it Is thought thatno other
feathered creature can dive so far
beneath the surface or remain SO
long a time under water. A speci-
men was once found attached to the
hook Of a fisherman's set line in
Seneca lake, it having dived nearly
100 feet to reach the bait. It feeds
on lizards, fish, frogs, all kinds of
aquatic insects and theroots of fresh
water plants, usually swallowing its
food under water. 1t is a very large
bird, about 3 feet in length, and
spreads its wings fully 8 feet. It
builds its nest in marshes, near wa
ter, of rushes and grass, which 1t
twists together in a huge heap on
the ground, usually among tall
reeds. The eggs, usually three in
number, + a little over 8 inches
long and in color of a dull greenish
ocher, with indistinct spots Of dark
lumber, most numerous toward the
broad end. During the winter this
bird lives nea the seashore, espe-
cially in the salt marshes on the
Long Island coast and along the
shores Of the Chesapeake, but in the
summer it goes as far north as
Maine and breeds there in great
quantities Detroit Free Press.

in that solemn and never-to.be-forgotten
