A BOLD WILD BIRD.
One which Seemed to Have Also
Iutely No Fear OF
Man

A most extraordinary instance OF the
tameness of birds in unexplOred forests
is related by writer describing a tour
of exploration to the headwaters Of the
Saskatchewan.
AS our horses were winding through
a deep forest, a bird appeared which re-
sembled pine bullfinch, fitting from
tree TO tree and following US closely.
Somewhat later it gave the most re-
markabIe instance of tameness that J
have ever seen. Having followed us for
about two miles, it waited In a tree dur
ing the hustle and confusion o. making
camp, but in the afternoon, when all
was quiet and some Of our men were
asleep the bird became exceedingly IA
miliar, walking on the ground near US
and finally Perching on our extended
hands. It was soon evident that the OBJ
ject Of our visitor was to catch mos
quitoes, which were lowering in swarms
around our heads. It Pecled at a ring
on my hand, at our needles, and in fact
any metal article, but the climax was
reached when by accident the bird saw
its own image in a small lOOkingglass
which lay on the ground. Then, with
extended wings and open bill, it uttered
cries Of rage and PeeAed at the glass
in which an enemy appeared. Among
the sOlitudes Of mountain forests, squir-
rels, fnches and whiskyjacks often
show unusual confidence IN man, but
this particular instance is remarkable,
because the bird would alight on our
persons even after It had been momen-
tarily though gently detained several
times as a prisoner IN my nd-"-Na-
tional Geographical Magazine.

Uncle Sans nePhews and Dieces

BATTLE WAS FIERCE.

casiOn American field guns were en-
gagged in the first artillery duel against
a Filipino battery, concealed IN the
Jungle Companies Z and I, Of the
Twenty-frst infantry, were nearly sur
rounded by large body Of insurgents,
but the Americans cut their way out
with heavy loss. During the night an
insurgent cannon was fred three times
at the Americans on the outskirts of
Las Pinas. Gen LawtOn yesterday
took a battalion Of the Fourteenth
regiment and two companies Of
the Twenty-frst regiment to locate
the rebel battery, and then two guns
of the Sixth artillery and four
mountain guns were planted against it
at 600 yards distance. The rebels had
a large gun from which they were fir
ing homemade canister loaded with
nails and also two smaller guns Their
shooting was most accurate. The com
panies OF the Twenty-hrst regiment,
sIzirmishing along the beach, with
amigo guides, found, apparently, a
handful Of rebels who retreated- The
men OF the Twenty-frst followed and
suddenly the rebels opened a terrific fire
on the troops from the sides and
rear The soldiers withdrew to the
waters edge, finding what shelter they
could, and were picked OF rapidly.
After their ammunition was nearly ex-
hausted, the companies OF the Twenty
first retreated, but Gen LavtOn dashed
down and rallied the men. A little
group made desperate stand. Gen.
