AmazInr ulevernets Of Rlrds.

There is something very remarkable
In the almost reasoning powers mani.
tested occasionally by birds in eluding
pursuit or In tuning attention from
their nests and young, but in few Is
this more noticeable than in the duck
tribes. In Captain Blacks narrative of
his arctic land expedition the following
instance Of this is given:
One of his companions, Mr.. King,
having shot a female duck, fred again
and, as he thought, disabled its male
companion. Accordingly, leaving the
dead bird. which he had the mortifica-
tion Of seeing sho1 tly afterward carried
off by ono of the white headed eagles,
he waded into the water after tho drake,
which, far from being huttered or
alarmed, remained motionless, as If
waiting to be taken up. Still, as he
neared it, it glided easily away through
innumerable little hooks and windings
Several times he reached out his hand
to seize it, and, having at last with
great patience managed to coop 1t up
in a corner, from which there appeared
to be no escape, he was tliumphantly
bending down to take it when, to his
utter astonishment, it looked around at
him, cried "Quaokp' and thon flew
away so strongly that he was convinced
he had never hit it at all. The bird s
object clearly was to draw the gunner
away from its companion.
