How Sea Eagles Catch Ducks.

In summer the principal food of the
white tailed sea eagle is salmon. varied
by sea birds common along the inlets
of Greenland. In autumn, when the
salmon have assembled to the lakes. the
birds resort to the sea. They appear
to have special fondness for elder
duck, which are taken by strategy.
Stationed near the water in com
handing position. with background
of cliff, the color of which assimilates
with that of the eagles plumage, he
sits motionless until a flock of ducks
settles near him. After a time one or
two dive in search of food. but not I'M
til all have gone under together does
the eagle make a sign. He then glides
swiftly to the spot, and circles over 1t
close to the water: with his sharp eye
he can detect the birds before they
reach the surface.
At first he is not usually successful.
for as soon as they become aware of
the presence of the enemy they dive
again instantly: but in time they are
obliged to come up for air. and then
one of them becomes an easy victim.
A full grown elder drake is easily lifted
up and borne away in the talons of
this powerful pirate.-London Field.

room where Abraham Lincoln lay on
his deathbed for the purpose of taking
in short hand from the lips of the dying
president the testimony bearing on the
