and the eagle, willing to shrk the conflict, disengaged
his talons from the snake and tried to rise. But

heavily in his favor. In few seconds he would
have had the eagle overborne and helpless and
reached his throat in spite of beak and claw; but
at this critical moment the bird found unexpected
and undeserved ally. The snake which he had
attacked, being desperately wounded, threshing
about in mad effort to get away to some hiding.
Red Fox happened to step upon it in the struggle;
and instantly though bindly, it threw convul-
sive coil about his hind legs. Angrily he turned
and bit at the constructing coil. While he was

came. 1t toward evening, and for good half
hour he had been out of sight watching for wary
old woodchuck to venture from its hole As he
lay there, patient and moveless, he caught sight
of huge blacksnake gliding slowly the open
glade. He hesitated, in doubt whether to attack
the snake or keep on waiting for the woodChuck.

reached the foot of the tree when the feathered
thunderbolt out of the sky fell upon it, clutchng
it securely with both taons about foot behind the

Easily and effectively had the eagle made his

broad wings beat the air in vain At the instant

swim about until they found large stone;
they then would fasten their mouths to it
and by squirming lift it from the bottom
and the moment it was clear the swift current
would sweep them down the stream in the direction
of the nest. If the weight of the stone carried
them to the bottom, the action would be repeated
indefinitely, or until they carried swept over
the nest, when the load would be dropped. In
dividua stones brought by single fishes almost
always in the way, the tail being held upward
vertically to offer the greatest resistance to the
current, which at this locality was swift How

day to day. When the breeding season begins the
male fish becomes active, and assumes what can
be termed nuptial garb of reds pnks. In some

the hue assumed by some of my prisoners. The
female did not figure at all in the nest-budng the
