THE LOOM.
This Bird Hns IA Hide About as Tough
MS That of an OK.

The loon differs from other birds in a
number of ways. | have reason to
think that many people are unaware
of some at least of these pecuiiarities.
The loon has Il hide as tough us an OK,
and its feathers cannot be plucked
without first scalding the bird as YOU
would Il hog. This incident will give
some idea of the '%toughness of the hide:
About thirty-five years ago, when L
was living in Michigan, a loon was
shot at with a shotgun industriously
all summer without apparently doing
him any harm. In the fall | killed him
with Il rifle just to convince the people
that a loon could be shot and killed.
He had many times been shot at with
a 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 chat way. l had
seen them shoot at him Il number of
times, and | could see the splash of
bullet or shot in the water before the
loon diyed. | ridiculed the idea of the
lodging, and that led to my shooting
him to support my contention. When l
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 u broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon is
that after the chicks are Matched, if the
mother wishes to move far, she will
make Il shallow dive and come up I'M
der her babies and swim off with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
in photographing her under such condi-
tons may well claim the pennant. On
ly once have | seen a loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
l lived in the part of Michigan where
then there was the best chance imagi-
nable to watch looms. Now the timber
has been cut off around most of the
lakes, and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist.
Although | have only once seen a
loon shoulder her babies, l have seen
her swimming with them on her pack
many times, Once II swan within
twenty feet of me and never suspected
my presence.
One of their calls when sitting on the
water for volume beats that Of any
other bird or beast that l know of. [
have heard them in the night when
they were more han five miles distant,
for they only make that kind of call
from the water, and there was no lake
in that direction short of that distance.
To say that the loon is a very interest
ing bird is as mild as l can express it.

kongo T~attOoing.

In the Kongo colonies Of Belgium
both men and women are tattooed ac-
cording to their status in society. A
woman of high caste will have a de-
sign not unlike a zouave Jacket worked
upon her back, and it would seem that
the native is as content with this mode
of covering as If it were a substitute
for clothing. By injecting the juice of
certain herbs the scars left by the tat
tooing process retain a swollen ap-
pearance, giving the effect Of bas-relief
work. The thorns Of the acacia are
generally used as a needle, while a
certain black clay is used as a coloring
medium.

ing the disputes referred to The Hague
tribunal. The Venezuelan dictator has
returned these favors by refusing to
submit to arbitration the controversy
between his government and the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company,
thereby straining the friendly relations
between Venezuela and the United
States.
Since Castro won the presidency of
Venezuela in 1899 by organizing a sue
cessful revolution his peculiar methods
have made him a conspicuous object in
world politics. On one occasion, it is
said, his soldiers reported to him that
three rich Caracas merchants were
boarding gold in their homes. General
Castro ordered that each of these men
be taxed $4,000 for support of the
government" On their refusal to pay
they were tied to stakes so that they
had to face the sun all day and at night
a fiercely bright electric light. Half
blinded and almost crazed by their
sufferings, they at last yielded and
paid the "taX." When Assistant Sec
teCdfy OF state IOOlQlS was mlulSler W
Venezuela he once represented to Cas-
tro that the latter's conduct toward
the asphalt company was not such as
to encourage investment of American
capital in Venezuela. The dictator re-
piled:
"Well, Mr.. Loomis, those American
asphalt people are getting very excit-
ed. Take them to IA saloon and give
them some ice cream to cool them Off"
In the present crisis in the affairs of
Russia it is said that the car has

influence over her son and in affairs of
