THE ALBATRoss.
A Bird OF Majestic Aerial Velocity
and Unsuitable Appetite.

A Bird Of Majestic Aerial Velocity
and Unsuitable Appetite.
Out Of the blue void the albatross
comes unhasting on motionless pinions,
yet at such speed that one moment a
speck hardly d%iscernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
round he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing in nature conveys to the
mind so wonderful an idea of effortless
velocity as does his calm appearance
from vacancy Like most of the true
pelagic birf he is a devourer Of offal,
the successful pursuit of fish being i'm
possible to his majestic evolutions. His
appetite is enormous, but his powers Of
abstinence are equally great, and often
for days he goes without other nourisb-
ment than a drink of the bitter sea. At
the G%argantuan banquet provided by a
carcass of a dead whale he will gorge
himself until incapable of rising from
the sea, yet still his angry scream may
be heard as if protesting against his in
ability to find room for more provision
against hungry days soon to follow.
Despite his incompatible grace of
fight when gliding through midair
with his mighty wings outspread, when
ashore or or deck he is clumsy and ill
at ease. Even seated upon the sea, his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while his huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to be upheld. On land he can
hardly balance himself. and the broad
silky webs Of his feet soon become LAGER
ated. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally inaccessible rocks which are
his breeding places are as brief as may
be, since even oonjugal delights are
dearly purchased with hunger and pain
full restraint. A true child of the air,
land is hateful to him, and only on the
wing does he appear to be really at
home and easeful. London Spectator.
