VuItures and Rattlesnakes. -

From the Youths Companion.
When the International Boundary Com
mission resurveyed the lines between the
United States and Mexico, there were nat
uralsts in the party. Doctor Mearns, who.
with his assistants collected many speci-
mems of birds and mammals. tells of a
fight in the air between a California vul-
exploring the Cocopah Mountains of Lower
California.
1t was In the early morning. The big
bird had seized the snake behind the head
and was struggling upward with its writh-
ing, deadly burden. The snakes captor ap-
peared aware that its victim was DANGER
Gus. The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly feet long.
The grip of the bird on the snakes body
be sauirming from its captor's talons- at
least sufficiently to enable it to strike. Its
triangular head was seen to recoil and
dart at the mass Of feathers.
II did this once or twice, and then with
a shrek the vulture dropped its prey. The
bird was probably 500 feet or so above the
observers. The astonished men were then
treated to a spectacle seldom seen. Few
birds but a vulture could accomplish such a
feat.
The instant the snake escaped fro-r the
birds clutches, it dropped earthward like
a shot And like a shot the bird dropped
after It. catching it in midair with grip
that caused death. At any rate. the snake
ceased to wriggle, and the vulture SCARED
away to mountain peak to devour Ills
hard-earned, meal.
That the snake did not bite the vulture
and cause its death, can only be explained
by the fact that the thick feathers prob
ably protected the nssh from the rsptiie's

manned by the Chinese during the
trouble would be sufficient to comfort

This government does not want a

TO the president. There is but one in
demnity which they can give our peO-
pie, and that is a monetary indemnity
to the families of their victims. For
every one of these China must pay
sufficient sum to keep their families
from want during their lives. The gov

The officials are taking into account

light artillery would be of no avail.
