PELICAN AND DUCK.
(From the London Telegraph,

(F'rom the London Telegraph.)
Dueling between men has long gone
out of fashion in England, and 1t is
left to nations and to lower animals
to settle their differences by an appeal
to arms. In Kew Gardens, in the pres
ence of considerable number of spec
tators, an affair Of honor was settled
between a pelican and g duck. The
birds had had words together, so to
speak, and the pelican determined that
the next best thing to making the
duck eat his words was to eat the
duck. So, after a little thrust and par
ry on the water, he made for the
smaller bird and snapped it into his
pouch. Then a battle royal began in
side the pouch of the pelican The
duck struggled, kicked duacked and
occasionally managed to get leg or
wing outside while mis- captor threw
his beak high in the air. then dipped
it into the water, and kept It there
as If trying to suffocate OF drown its
enemy. From the look of the agitated
pouch it seemed as if the contest was
by no means one-sided, but that the
pelican was having rather a rough
time. At last the duck got his head
and one wing out and then, with a
magnificent effort, managed to get en-
tirely free. Once again Oh the water
