the river I am speaking of, the entrance of
which was then at the right at entering It.
He set up his altar here and said mass
After his he went a little distance to re-
turn thanks. 4 prayed the two men who
managed the canoe to leave him alone for
half an hour.
This time being expired. they went to
seek him., and We're greatly surprised to
find him dead: but they recollected that
upon entering the river he had said that
he should finish his journey there. Never
theless, as it was too far from thence to
Michilimackinac to carry his body thither.
they buried him near the side of the river.

Birds as Photographers.

To get a photograph of a wild bird in .
natural position has heretofore been quite
a difficult task. n many a naturalist has
chased around the wood all day. spelling
plates. without accomplishing the purpose.
Now Mr.. c. O. Pike, an English p%hotogra-
pher. has an ingenious apparatus by means
OF which wild birds are made to take their
own pictures. It is simply q case of proper
wire pulling.
Mr.. Pike takes the camera where the de-
sired bird is to be found. places it in posi-
ton on the ground. in a tree or bush. bats
q wire connected with it and suspended in
the proper position in front Of its lens.
Then he patiently waits for the bird.
When the bird comes and seizes the
tempting bait the wire is pulled, an electro
magnet put in action, which releases the
shutter Of the camera, giving an instan-
taneous exposure Of the plate. and the
birds picture has been captured.
