Naturalist Tells of Peculiar Antics Of

interesting birds: 1.-TWO albatrosses

a little, crossing bills and whettint
them together, pecking meanwhile
and dropping stiff little bows. Sudden

nibbles at the feathers underneath
or rarely If in hurry merely turns
it's head and tucks it's bill under its
wing. The other bird during this
short performance assumes a statu

bill loudly few times. Then the frs
bird bows once and, pointing its heao
and beak straight upward, rises on Its
toes, puffs out it's breast and utters
a prolonged nasal groan, the othel

Unconscious that an angels feet

Only her priceless youth and health,
Her broad, white brow
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth.

That only comes to sinless days
