To her GOODNESS and resource is due
the fact that she did not meet death as
the result of her flight IA the air. Seeing
that she was about 80 drift out into the
bay, Mrs. Heaton first attempted TO let
the gas out OF the lag above the ma
chine by puncturing il. She reached up
from the carriage in which she was
seated, and with a hatpin tried TO make
a hole in the bag But the sides OF il
were too thick and in her frantic eff
forts she tore al il with teeth and nails
to make a hole. All of her attempts
were in vain until she tried again to
pull the rope that governed the escape
valve. Although she had tried this once
before and had failed. she pulled at it
again. finding al nrst that twist in the
rope prevented IL from working She

THE PECULIAR LOON.
This Bird Has hide About as Tough
That of an OK

M That of an OK
The loon differs from other birds In a
number Of ways. l have reason to
think that many people are unaware
OF some at least OF these peculiarities.
The loon has hide as tough as an OK,
and its feathers cannot be plucked
without first scalding the bird as you
would hog. This incident will give
some idea of the toughness Of the hide:
About thirtyfive years ago, when I
was living in Michigan, loon was
shot at with a shotgun industriouslv
ell summer without apparently doing
him any harm. In the fall killed him
with rifle just to convince the people
that loon could be shot and killed
he had many times been shot at with
rifle by the same people who had
used the shotgun, and they had become
convinced that he dived so quickly that
he lodged the shot in that way. / had
seen them shoot at him number of
times. and / could see the splash Of
bullet or shot In the water before the
loon dived. j ridiculed the idea OF the
lodging. and that led TO my shooting
him TO support my contention. When /
skinned the bird / found and counted
over a hundred No. 6 shot, all Of them
stuck to the inside OF the hide and SO
doing him no permanent harm. 1t Is
remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained a broken wing.
Another thing peculiar TO the loon Is
that after the chicks are Matched. IL the
mother wishes to move far. she will
make a shallow dive and come up I'M
der her babies and swim OF with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
In phOtographing her under such eondi-
tons may well claim the pennant. On
~ once have ] seen a loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
lived in the part OF Michigan where
then there was the best chance imagi
nable TO watch looms. Now the timber
has been cut OF around most OF the
lakes. and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist.
Although ! have only once seen
loon shoulder her babies. I have seen
her swimming with them on her back
many times. Once one swan within
twenty feet OF me and never suspected
my presence.
