HUNTING THE EAGLE
The Most Perilous of Many Dan-
 gerous Alpine Sports.
Eometimes the Hunter Must HanE Suspended in Midafr for Hours at Time-Other PeriIs of
 the Chase.

Everybody knows what a danger. ous occupation the chamois hunters of the Alps have to endure to make livelihood, but few know that these 'chasseurs de chamois" have a side line that is still more venturesome.
 It 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 to 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 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 snow capped peaks, are his favor ite spot for home making and it is to these places that the eagle hunter has to go.

He knows the high Alps as we'll as/ schoolboy does his alpha bet. There is scarcely cliff on the range of the Unterwalden that he has not scaled.
 Even the monks of St. Benedictine do not know the eagles of the Engel- berg as well as does he. His inya- riable assistant in 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
