Let the social climber take notice:

proves himself a personal exaggera-

the ages displays this. Caesar makes
himself the fashion by eccentrlcity OF

THE WANDERING ALsATRoss
Its Wonderful Flights and the Odd
Beliefs About 1t.


OF all the strange creatures seen by
travellers, not the least interesting i:
The wandering albatross. This great
feathered wanderer. sometimes meas
uring seventeen feet from tip to tip OF
his wings. will follow a ship for days
at a time. Some travellers and sailors
declare that they have seen a partlcu-
lard bird fly for weeks at a time with
out ever being seen TO alight upon the
waves.
Ii not merely follows the ship. but
wheels in great circles around 1t and
above it. high in the air. as if TO show
that it Is not tired. Sometimes the
bird will be seen TO hang in the air
with it's wings apparently motionless.
and the sailors say that then it is
asleep.
| Not only in pleasant weather will
the albatross follow a ship for days
and weeks. but through the most ter
ing flight. In fact, to find an alba
tross otherwise than on the wing is
like finding a weasel asleep.
Once a year the female albatross
iies away a few thousand miles to the
great, lonely island rock OF Tristan
d'Acunha, which lifts It's desolate head
far in the South Atlantic, or TO some
equally remote place, and there lays
one egg in the hollow OF a rock.
The albaross has always been
bird Of mystery, and in ancient times
the people believed that these I'M
wearying seabirds were the compan-
ions Of the Greek warrior Diomedes,
who were said to have been changed
into birds at the death Of their chief.
When America was discovered and
ships began to sail abroad to the Pa
cific Ocean to double the Cape Of Good
Hope and to explore the seven seas"
generally, the old belief about the al
batross had been forgotten by the sail
ors and explorers, but In their long
and lonesome voyages over waters
which were cut by no keel but their
own. and upon whose vast expanse
they saw no other sail but theirs, the
presence of the albatross following the
Jay dllcI a 6itdt
source of comfort and companionship.
SO 1t came to be a belief that ill-luck
would follow anyone who killed one
of these birds; and that belief is com
mon among seafaring men to this very
day. Coleridge's famous Rhyme Of
the Ancient Mariner Is based upon
this belief
Though the superstition about the
killing OF an albatross bringing bad
luck is only foolish one, 1t has served
a useful purpose for many years in
the slaughter Of these beau
tiful and gallant birds-the sailors
friends and the landsmen's wonder.
