Another observer, sitting on some
lodges, saw some young birds sitting
on branch that extended over the
stream, and as he watched the attempts
Of the mother to induce them to fly, a
long, sharp-nosed fish came gracefully
out Of the water and carried off bird.
The parents uttered loud cries, but
were evidently utterly defenseless to
prevent 1t. In few moments the fish
returned to the attack, and in all car
ried of three of the little family. To
accomplish this the pike had to leap
two feet out of water and grasp its prey
in the air in crossing the limb-an ex-
traordinary performance at best.
The little bird previously mentioned
that enters rivers and wades about up
on the bottom is often caught by the
pickerel. This bird has remarkable
method of progression, literally walk
ing under the water clinging to peb-
bles and stones and hunting out worms
insects and fishspawn that are found
there.
Birds are not the only land animals
that fishes prey upon. Several years
ago the proprietor of well-known fish
hatchery found that some depredator
was preying upon the spawn, and final
ly it was discovered that mice were the
guilty parties. The little creatures not
only entered the tanks, but dived to the
bottom and ate the eggs. This led to
further investigation, and it was found
that this habit was a common occur
renee among the mice of the locality,
and that they were in the habit of en-
tering the water and feeding upon fish
eggs that had been deposited along
shore. In this somewhat unusual and
adventurous proceeding they often fell
victims to the predatory fishes, as was
shown; not only did large
pickerel lie in wait for them, but the
trout showed Partially to mice, and
taught them as they swan to the bot
ON.

The extent to which birds prey upon
the small fry and denizens Of the sea
is not appreciated except by those who
are constantly afloat and in position to
make continued observations.
In the channel of Santa Catalina
deep, blue body of water that lies be-
tween the island of that name and the
mainland Of Southern California-an
opportunity frequently offers to witness
the depredations of ocean birds. Ger
tain gulls and their allies are found
here in great numbers, ten or fifteen
miles from land, eagerly watching for
schools Of small fry. The tell-tale in
almost every instance is the large tuna,
or horse mackerel, and the albicOre,
which drive schools of smaller fishes
hither and yon and sometimes cover
the sea with foam for miles, the air
seemingly at times being filled with
leaping fishes. This unusual disturb
ance is noticed by the birds, which
flock from far and near and attack the
small fish on the surface, while the big
fish dash at them from below. These
birds often so gorge themselves with
food that they with difficulty avoid the
steamer that plies between the main
land and the island.
In shore the big, brown pelican plies
his vocation, and on the lakes and
streams of the mainland, and even
along the shore of the island, we find
the king1sher, voraclous fish-catcher
Some Of the birds chase their prey
beneath the water, as the looms and
gannets; these birds having been
caught on hooks at great depths, while
the little water ouzels walk along on
the bottom and catch fish spawn and
various objects. In these attacks upon
the fishes the birds often expose them
selves to many dangers, and numerous
Instances could be chronicled where
birds have fallen victims to voracious
fishes.

President George r. Mckee was in a
talkative mood a night or two ago.
Some one said the frogs had entirely
disappeared from Muskoka lake in
Canada, and after removing the toby
from his mouth, Mr.. Mckee began, &C
cording to the New Castle Courant
Guardian: II remember when l was
at Muskoka with the first fishing party
that ever visited that spot. Why, do
you know that frogs were our prin-
cipal article Of diet? We used to get
out in a boat after them, and as true
as tell you the frogs used to run after
us. 1t was no uncommon thing for us
to capture forty pounds Of frogs legs
in one evening. They'd bite at the
bare hook. I've seen them there fully
as big as young pug dog, and we had
q dozen that we're selected for the diff
ference in their tone Of voices. was
enabled by the aid of small stick to
make those frogs sing a kind OF tune.
We had a bass, double bass, tenor,
a contralto, and, in fact, every known
voice in that choir. Many's the night
I've been lulled to sleep by the music
from that bullfrog chorus. Why, 1

Some years ago some sealers were
following their avocation on the rocky
shore of Pacific island, when they OBJ
served a commotiOn among the geals.
Running in that direction, they saw
several large killers-a small whale
about as large as black-fsh-a attempt
ing to seize the seals from the rocks.
The big fish-like animals would dash
up the sides of the rocks in their eager
ness and founder about upon the kelp
gradually falling back again-a eingu-
lar instance in the struggle for exis-
tence.

A medical paper says: IF, instead Of
wearing overcoats people would wear
coats Of different thicknesses, heeo6rdL
ing to the weather and conditions gem
orally, they would avoid the danger Of
cooling by evaporation; the garments
saturated with moisture would be re-
moved and dry of the body, instead
Of on it. We believe that no consld-
cradle proportion of the colds at
tacks of lumbago, and even more for
midable results Of what are popularity
called 'chills' may be traced to the
practice Of wearing overcOats."
