THE LYRE BIRD.
A VentriIoquist Who Makes Enough
Noise for a Dozen Birds.


The ground Is hidden beneath
mass of jungle grass, sword grass and
fern, all bowed under weight of
moisture, and this forest is dreary,
damp and cold, 1t is billy country,
and you hear the notes of the differ
ent birds echoing and deceiving you.
They are all high, piping sounds, save
now and then when thud-thud like
q thunderbolt seems to strike the
earth. 1t is frightened wallaroo, or
wallaby, who is leaping, pausing to
listen, and leaping again over the
green coating of the earth.
Now you hear Tyre bird before
you. Doubtless he is not more than
twenty yards ahead, for the sound
seems to rise under cover Of your gun,
which, with very nervous hands, you
are holding before you. But that bird
IS rascally ventriloquist knowing
how to pitch his voice and send 1t
in any direction. Never mind--he is
singing, so you move on toward him.
Take heed to your surroundings and
to the weight of your football Should
you run foul of some rambling vine
or put down your foot too quickly, the
Tyre bird will gather up his music
and his tail, and you will hear him
no more. You must stand still as
death and wait, if need be, half an
hour for his second performance.
When he is well on with 1t, you may
go on, too, for his own excitement and
the sound of his own voice will kill
out all other sounds and he will not
hear you stealing on him.
He is deporting himself on a mound
or vegetable mold five or six feet in
diameter which he has earthed up.
Around him are long grasses and
ferns. through which he has made
holes into which he can dart at will
to elude enemies. Above is one clear
branch on which he will leap when
instinct tells him he is safe from
harm. Here he will perch and plume
himself previ4s to winging his flight
to some other play or feeding ground.
By avoiding every obstacle and paus-
ing brcathlessly whenever the singer
lowers his note, you have managed
to steal almost upon him. There see
his beautiful tail. bowling peacock-like
over that mass of rodding grass as its
owner courtesies to the ground, and
chatters and calls and shrieks as if
he were addressing multitude on
the ground before him. He is only
initiating a tribe of black cockatoos
voices in chorus). Now he is rivaling
half a dozen bellbirds, and the next
instant there is long-drawn smack
Ing sound. which you may put down
as the music of a falling branch or

bullets flying within a few inches
and shells bursting over us. A bullet
from a shrapnel hit my side without
hurting me, and l kept it as a me-
mento. We lay as fiat as possible,
waiting to be killed, as no one thought
we would escape. We were under fire

An AIner,can on Joubert,

The London correspondent of the
Matin has wired some extracts from
the letter of an American volunteer
with the Beers. The writer describes
General Joubert as an old fox, who
knows his business well and who will
not move unless he Is sure of success.
He says that he leaves the attack to
the English, the result being that
while they lose five men he loses only
one. The English artillery is good,
though the guns are inferior in range
to those of the Beers, but the English
cavalry Is far less useful than theirs.

One Of the chief attractions of Flor

that in decade or two the timid

The tremendous onslaught of peo-
pie who hunt the alligator for differ

condition. The reptile is being carried

of his past greatness.
Not only this, but the little ones

where a hundred may be seen, the

they are disturbed, when the whole
mass begin to scramble over each

Catching the alligator for his hide
has, more than anything else, decimat-
