A RARE BIRD.
Frank 7. Noble Has Specimen Of the
Harlequin Duck.

Journal man had the pleasure Of
Examining, yesterday, "A specimen Of
that very rare and beautiful sea duck.
the Harlequin, Histrionicus histrioni-
Gus Uinn.) in full nuptial plumage
These ducks, known locally along tie
eastern coast as the Lord and Lady. OF
account Of their odd markings, are
getting so very scarce that the fear of
their soon becoming extinct, like the
Labrador duck, appears to he well
founded. and is shared by many ornith-
OloeiStS.
The specimen referred to was taken
near one Of the outer lodges off tho
mouth OF PenobsCot bay. in January
and was sent to Frank r. Noble of this
city. who has mounted it and placed il
in his fine collection of Maine ducks
The bird is an old male. in most en-
uuisiteiy marked plumage. the odd
markings of pure white spots and won
ground giving it a remarkable queer
appearance. entirely at variance with
the usual markings Of any bird the re-
porter had ever seen.
Mr.. Noble informed him that the
Harlequin Is an extremely wild and shy
bird. and that they come down from the
extreme north during the coolest and
storrlieSt portion of the winter. keep
ing we'll out to sea. and feeding in the
most inaccessible places, the surf
washed lodges which fringe the eastern
coast.
Here they feed and appear perfectly
at home among the fierce ana relentless
breakers. usually diving through the
crest OF the sea as II is about to break
and engulf them. appearing on the 9th
er side and riding on the rough water
with the lightness of Il cork. Their de-
light seems to he in this strenuous play
with old ocean.
Mr.. Noble is justly proud Of this de-
sirable acquisition to his collection. and
will be pleased to show II. as we'll as
many other specimens of Maine birds,
to all who will call at his Office.

The Prudential Insurance Comnonv
OF America has added another highly
successful yedl to it's brilliant record
an announcement which will cause
satisfaction to its millions of noIicv-
iioloers. me volume of paid-for in

ing 1904 was over S312 900. OO0 ar
amount larger than ever before in the
c"mpany's history. The assets were
increased by $4,000 900. bringing The
accumulated assets up to over seS OAO :
600. with liabilities of SO 900. 900. leaving
a surplus of $4,000 900. The Animal
statement of The Prudential. lust pub

shows them to be Of the highest grade.
There was paid to policyholders
during 1904 the sum of over sl3 400 OOO
Inc company since its organization has
paid to policyholders over 49,. 900 900
A fact which strikes the casual read.
er' ana one which goes far to explain
the support of the company by the

of settling claims. Holders of old
