THE ALBATROSS.
It's Wonderful Flights and Some Odd
Beliefs About the Bird.

OF all the strange creatures seen by
travellers not the least interesting Is
the wandering albatross. This great.
feathered wanderer, sometimes meas.
uring seventeen feet from tip to tip of
Its wings, VIII follow ship for days
at time. Some travellers and sailors
declare that they have seen particu-
lar bird fly for weeks at time with
out ever being seen to alight upon the
waves.
1t not merely follows the ship, but
wheels in great circles around 1t and
above II, high In the air, as If to show
that 1t is not tired. Sometimes the
bird will be seen to hang I'm the air
with its wings apparently motionless,
and the sailors say that then 1t Is
asleep.
Not only in pleasant weather will the
albatross follow n ship for days and
weeks, but through the most terrific
storms 1t will continue its untiring
flights. In fact, to find an albatross
otherwise than on the wing is like
finding n weasel asleep.
Once year the female albatross files
away few thousand miles to the
great, lonely island rock of Tristan
d'Acunha, which lifts its desolate head
far in the south Atlantic, or to some
equally remote place, and there lays
one egg In the hollow of rock.
The albatross has always been bird
of mystery, and in ancient times the
people believed that these unwearying
sea birds We're the companions of the
Greek warrior Dlomedes, 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 alba
tross had been forgotten by the sailors
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 ship day after
day became great source of comfort
and companionship. So 1t came to be a
belief that Ill luck would follow any
one who killed one Of these birds, and
that belief is common among seafar-
ing men of this very day. Colerldge's
famous "Rhyme of the Ancient Mari
ner" is based upon this belief.
Though the superstition about the
killing of an albatross bringing bad
luck is only foolish one, 1t has served
useful purpose for many years In

WILD ANIMALS.
Different Methods by which They
Are Captured.

JhMGEGht mCtnOus WhIgn Ihcy
Are Captured.
The different methods by which vari-
Gus wild animals are captured in their
native state are interesting. Lions are
generally caught by being tempted to
thrust their heads through nooses of
strong cords composed of twisted
hldes. Pieces Of meat are used for bait,
but frequently the hunters have many
days Of hard chasing before the lion
can be persuaded to try the moose.
When he does, the cords are pulled
quickly around his throat, sitting him.
and other stout cords are bound around
his legs. Tigers are more savage than
lions and can rarely be captured when
full grown. Recruiting is accordingly
carried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young left
without protectors, being easily caught
The cubs readily accustom themselves
To captivity. Perhaps the most difficult
Of all wild animals to capture is the gi
raffe. In addition to being very rare
giraffes are exceedingly timid and
swift footed There is no special way
to capture giraffe. Many different
ways have been tried, and all have
been equally unsuccessful. The meth
cd which has occasionally resulted in
a capture is that of using long cord,
at each end Of which is a round weight
This cord is thrown by the hunter in
such a manner as to wind around the
animals legs, either bringing it to the
ground or rendering it incapable of es-
Gaping before 1t is made a prisoner
Most Of the glraffes in captivity have
bssn caught by chance when young.

SPRING CARNIVAL FOR
 THE kINDERGARTENS.

The spring carnival to be given on the evening of May r for the benefit of the free kindergarten, is just now the most interesting topic of conversation among Birmingham's little folks, who have entered into the preparations with the enthusiasm of children.
 The carnival will be given by Profes- sor Weissner's dancing class of between 200 or 300 children, and will eclipse in point of picturesqueness and beauty any similar event ever given in Birmingham. There will be an evening performance on May IT and d matinee on May IS, both performances to be given al the Jefferson theatre.
 While no special features of the carni- val have been announced the public is assured in view of Professor Weissners 8 productions in the past that the coming entertainment will contain artistic feat ures, and that the little folk who will present them are notable examples or the fine training which has brought Profess sor Weissner national recognition.
 It is said that his class is in such fine training in various specialties' that little extra work is required to present the most elaborate and intricate entertain ment The staging and other details re- quire attention. but the children them selves, from their months of practice under Professor Weissner are ready at moments notice to present a finished performance from the stage of the Jeffer- son. In other words the little folk Of Birmingham are prepared to do their part. if the public will do all that Is expected of 1t, and encourage the chill dren in their beautiful efforts to aid the free Kindergarten of Birmingham.
