y rat was caught alive on board q
naval vessel in q trap. and the beast
was thrown from the trap into the wa
ter without being killed A large gull
that was following IN the wake Of the
ship TO pick up scraps Of food thrown
overheard b. the steward swooped
several times. endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws. and the beast grabbed
1t by the neck. After short fight the
rat succeeded in killing the bird When
the gull was dead. the rat scrambled
upon the birds body, and. holsting one
wing as a sail and using the other as
q rudder. succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether the rat reached shore
or not is the question. since the ship
soon got out Of sight Of the skipper
and its craft.

The Curioun Cn.sowary.

Every explorer who visits the Aus
tralasian islands discovers Il new kind
Of cassOwary. None of these birds
possesses any wings to speak Of. and
their bodies are clothed with dense
masses Of curious. hairlikc feathers.
According 70 recent traveller, these
feathers are put to very remarkable
use.
When Il customary feels hungry-so
the legend runs-it wades out into q
stream until only It's head and neck are
above water and spreads out It's long
plu.nes on either side. Numbers Of IN
sophisticated little fishes Immediately
mistake these for new kind OF water
weed and nestle confdingly up to the
motionless cussowary for shelter.
Then that artfui bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body, walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank: so that he not
only enjoys delightful bath, but OBJ
tains an excellent meal into the bar
gain.
