HUNTING THE EAGLE
The Most PerilOus of MANY Dan
gerOus Alpine Sports.
Sometimes the Hunter Must Hang
Suspended in Midair for Hours
at "a Time-Other PeriIs of
the Chase.

Everybody knows what a danger
Gus occupation the chamois hunters
of the Alps have to endure to make
a livelihood, but few know that these
"chasseurs de chamOis" have a side
line that is still more venturesome.
1t is that of capturing young
eagles.
Only the more daring of the
chamois hunters undertake it, de-
spite the fact that the financial re-
wards are much greater than come
10 those who devote themselves en-
tirely to shooting the nimble-footed
animals whose soft skin is always in
such demand.
The eagle of the Alps is a royal
bird who builds his nest far above
the rest of the earth's inhabitants.
The most inaccessible cliffs, guard
ing deep lying gorges and crowned
with snOwcapped peaks, are his favor
ite spot for home-making and it is
to these places that the eagle hunter
has to go.

the Alpine eaglets are so hard to
reach is their marketable value fixed
in the animal booths of Berne and
Geneva.
1t is a remarkable fact that the
most intrepid ard venturesOme of
all the chamois hunters who also
seek the young eaglets is a univer-
sity man, Herr Wilhelm Amrhein, of
Munich. He knows the high Alps as
well as a schoo boy does his alpha
bet. There is scarcely a cliff on the
range of the Unterwalden that ne
has not scaled.
Even the mOnl1s of st. Benedictine
do not know the eagles of the Engel-
berg as well as does he. His inva-
riable assistant in the eagle chase is
hardy old Swiss forester called
Karl Hess.
The method of the hunt, says the
Philadelphia Press. is not only dan

and filling a box with rags. put the
snake in it and buried the box three
feet deep.
He has had Dan'l for three years
and each season when the cold weather
sets in "cashes' him until spring again
clothes the leafiess trees and life again
is tolerable for snakes.
1t was under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances that Andy acquired Dan
and adopted him for Daniels good. As
Andy tells it, he was going through
his wood land when 4 rabbit ran past
him so rapidly that he could hardly
tell what the creature was. Close be-
hind the rabbit came the snake
One hundred yarCs away the thought
must have struck the rabbit that its
only salvation was in the man, for Andy
says it made a loop and, to his amaze
ment, squatted between his feet. And
the snake, not to be robbed of its din
ner, turned and came at Andy full
tilt.
When the snake reached Andy's legs
he recovered from his astonishment
He caught the reptile by the back Of
the neck and carried it home.
In a year or so it had become so
gentle that il knew its name. and
would jump through a hoop. IT fol-

geroUs, but it is excessively tedious
as well. 1t necessitates, sometimes
the searchers hanging in midair for
hours at time. The circling of the
eagles is carefully watched and the
cliff noted on which the nest is prob
ably located. This can only be de.
termined after long and careful
study of the birds habits. The cen.
ter of the diameter of their circular
flight is sure to be near the nest and
the young eagles.
The next thing is to get to the tou
of the cliff and rig up a double SET
of pulleys. The hauling pulley is
fastened on sturdy standing tree
firmly rooted in the intricacies OF
the mountain top. A cable is veered
through this and then Though q
drop pulley fastened to some stout
fallen tree trunk. braced TO reach
over the brink so that the line Will
fall clear of the rocks.
A complicated knot, known as a
boatsman's seat, in which a man can
rest at comparative ease, is formed
in this line. Into this the eaglet
hunter slips his legs and is lowered
away over the precipice. With a man
above at the pulley to lower and one
below at the guide rope to pull in
or out, the eagle hunter can get at
the crevfces in the rock and search
carefully for the nests.
In a recent hunt Herr Amrhein
was 21O meters up in the air. Snow
shrouded peaks and glaciers were his
neighbors. A weak strand in the
rope meant certain death. But death
also threatened him in other ways
1t might come from a moments gid
diness on his part; from a foot slip
by the man above who held the pull
ley rope, or from bad judgment by
the man who held the guiding rome
below, who might swing him so
forcibly into the cleft that he would
be dashed TO pieces.
After the nest is found and the
eaglets secured there are the old
eagles TO be reckoned with. They
do not take kindly to having their
young kidnapped and if they are in
the immediate neighborhood there
is sure to be lively EaIf-hour for
the eaglet hunter up in the clouds.
Sometimes a hunter is lowered to
the foot of the cliff without seeing a
nest. Then comes the tedious and
laborious process of hauling him up
again. This frequently takes an
hour.
If a single nest is found in
weeks hunt the hunters feel amply
repaid.

The inspector said further that he
found the defendant kneeling at the
bedside and kissing the pig and calling
it a naughty boy because il had eaten

Miss Hampton pleaded that she had
educated the pig as a Christian. She
had reared it from infancy. When
young it used to occupy the sofa. 1t
had always asked to be let out when it
wanted to take the fresh air. 1t never
kicked the clothes off the bed and was
most quiet and peaceable. Visitors
came in carriages to see it. The mag
