HUNTING THE EAGLE
The Most PerilOus of Many DaR-
gerOus Alpine Sports.
Sometimes the Hunter Mast Hang
Suspended in MidaIr for HOuFs
at a TIme-Other PeriIs sf
the Chase.

Everybody knows what a danger
Gus occupation the chamois hunters
of the Alps have to endure to make
q 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
ehamOis hunters undertake it, de-
spite the fact that the financial re-
wards are much greater than come
to those who devote themselves en-
tirely to shooting the nimble-foOted
animals whose soft skin is always il
such demand.
The eagle OF the Alps is a royal
bird who builds MS nest far above
the rest of the earth's inhabitants.
The most inaccessible cliffs, guard
ing deep lying gorges and crowned
with snow capped peaks, are his favor
ite spot for home-making and it is
to these places that the eagle hunter
has to go.
In just the same proportion that
the Alpine eaglets are so hard to
reach is their marketable value fixed
in the animal booths of Berne and
Geneva.
1t is q remarkable fact that the
most intrepid ard venturesome of
all the chamois hunters who also
seek the young eaglets is a uniyer-
gity man, Herr Wilhelm Amrhein, OF
Munich. He knows the high Alps as
well as a schooIboy does his alpha
bet. There is scarcely a elf on the
range of the Unterwalden that he
has not scaled.
Even the mOnl1 of st. Benedictine
do not know the eagles of the Engel-
berg as well as does he. His inVa-
riable assistant il the eagle chase is
a hardy old Swiss forester called
Karl Hess.
The method of the hunt. SAYS the
Philadelphia Press, is not only dan.
The Washington bee., 1902-01-11

! 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 10 be near the nest and
the young eagles.
The next thing is to get to the ton
of the cliff and rig up a double set
of Pulleys. The hauling pulley is
fastened on a sturdy standing tree
firmly rooted in the intricacies of
the mountain top. A cable is veered
through this and then through a
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 creviceS in the rock and search
carefully for the nests.
In . recent hunt Herr Amrhpin
was 21e meters up in the air. Snow
shreuded peaks and glaciers were his
neigh bOrs. A weak strand in the
rope meant certain death. But death
also threatened him in other vavs.
1t might come from a moments gid
dineSs on his part; from fsot slip
by the man above who held the pull
ley rope, or from bad judgment by
the man who held the guiding rope
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 10 be a lively half-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 COZ les the tedious and
labOriOus process of hauling him up
again. This frequently takes an
hour.
If a single nest is found in a
weeks hunt the hunters feel amply
repaid.

THE VALUE of CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.

All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best

is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;

harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant

Nine. Adalina Patti purchased the 9TH
er, paying $4,000 for it.
The fact that there is no performer
on the violoncelli in Savannah is a Sc
rious drawback to musical circles. The
cello is one of the most beautiful of
the string instruments, and Mr.. James
Douglass delightful performances
on that instrument are still
fresh in the memory of those who have
heard him. 1t is a matter of great pity
that some other amateur in the city
does not take it up.
Without cello it is next to impos-
s:ble to give the best class of chamber
music, and chamber music is the most
delightful of all string music. 1t is in
that that the KneiseI Quartette ex-
cells, and by which they have become
so famous. 1t would seem as if one of
tie many string performers in the city
would take up the cello and fill up the
present gap.

This is not Mr.. Williams first compo-

Mr.. A. C. Meyer has truly artistic
temperament, and plays and directs the
music before him with a clear COM
prehensiveness of the work, producing
a thoroughly pleasing effect upon his
listeners. He is filing a long felt want
in Savannah, and the work that he is
doing is deserving of the highest praise
and commentator. It is matter of
congratulation that such a master of
the violin as is Mr.. Meyer, and an art
list of his ability, has located in this
city. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer will reside
this winter in the residence of Judge
Thomas M. Norwood on Abercorn

Mr.. Moses D. Coburn, who has resid-
ed in Adairsville for the past three
years, will move to Savannah on Oct.

many friends. Mr.. Coburn has been
prominent in musical circles in Savan-
nah all of his life, and was one of the
most active spirits in the old Mozart
Club. Before moving away from here
he was an ardent and active worker
in the Music Club, and it was through
his fundamentally and energy that
the string music in the club was SO
successful a few years ago. With the
return of Mr.. Coburn it is hoped that
a string quartette may again be formed
and that there will be a revival of the
delightful chamber music that has
been given before the Music Club in
the past.
