FIsH-CATCHING BIRDS.
And other birds That Purlotn Their
Hard-Earned Prey from
Them.

So much to see, If you have eyes TO
see, there is not moment that some
thing wonderful does not take place.
AT the juncture of the thoroughfare
and island lake. on dead pine, more
than a hundred feet high. sat white
headed eagle, says Forest and Stream.
In the air large fsh-hawk was sailing
over the water. looking for his dinner
two or three hundred feet below him.
What penetrating orbs Of vision nature
has endowed this bird with. There, he
gives his lightning like shot to the wa
ter, seems almost submerged, only TO
reappear with fourpound pike in his
talons. Slowly he rises. going toward
the woods. where he hopes 10 enjoy his
well-earned meal; but he has reckened
without his host. The king of birds
has been watching his every movement.
and If found successful is in readiness
TO exact that tribute which the strong
er always demands and compels from
the weak.
Almost as quick as thought the eagle
is pursuing the hawk, and for little
while a merry chase il is. But the
eagle is the master, and the hawk in
stinciively feels it. as, after sudden,
violent swerve, only just TO evade the
terrible claws of the now enraged
eagle, he drops the prize and slowly
dies to the other side of the lake.
There is no need for haste now, as
the master was after tribute, not the
hawk. Payment having been made by
relinquishing valuable property the
eagle once more displays his wonder
full activity by catching the pike before
it strikes the water. and then as leisure
" flies to cover TO gormandize.

SILENCE IN CITY STREETS.
Come In the Noises of
the Day.

Every close observer of the daily
life of city streets must have noticed
from time to time that there come
in the hustle and deafening activity
of the metropolis sudden and strange
cessations in the noise Of the thor
oughfares, says Chicago paper. Al
one moment the streets may be filled
with life in all its nolsiest aspects.
From curb 10 curb they will be crowd
ed with heavily laden trucks and ears.
The rumble and clang Of these vehicles
send up roar as if Niagara were near.
The immense volume of sound will
arise from the pavements and, striking
against the walls of the sky scrapers
on its upward way, will echo a dozen
times before it finally fades into the
air above Hawkers and newsboys will
be yelling their shrillest and every pc
destrian will be adding in q general
way to the elangor.
Suddenly, as though by magic. there
will come a pause. what a musician
would call a rest. All the Doise-creat-
ing objects and people become mute.
Cars and trucks either stand still or
vanish. The very wave sounds APP
pear 10 have been annihilated The
number OF pedestrians seems to have
been greatly diminished, and il they
move CT speak it is without perceptible
noise. These periods Of silence some
times last for several seconds. Then.
as though by preeOneerted signal. the
din recommences and the commercial
!ife-blood is again pulsing through the
city's arteries.
