Autograph Ems.

1t was in China that the first auto
graph fans were seen, and they be
came very fashionable there long years
ago. Some carefully preserved speci-
mems have belonged to the emperors
and their wives. while others have been
given as diplomatic presents. 4 fan
Of this description, for instance. was
presented by the Chinese ambassador
to Nine de ClauZel at the coronation
of Napoleon l. In India the very first
fans were supplied by nature in the
spreading leaves of The lotus and palm.
but screen fans soon became emblems
of power there also, for they are not
only mentioned in the great Iinloo
poems "Mahabharata" and "Ramaya-
ma, but Brahma and India are repre-
scented in the ancient sculptures at Ele-
phanta followed by slaves bearing the
fly fan and parasol. which latter was
also considered as an emblem Of SUI
preme power.

Birds In Attack.

Birds display great skill and cunning
in the chase. the attack and in guard
ing themselves from injury during the
struggle for supremacy. The secretary
bird is the inveterate enemy and untir-
ing purSuer of the snake. All sorts,
even the most venomous. he hunts with
a zest that is at once interesting and
amusing. The snake fees from its
foe, who follows, watching every OPP
portunity for blow. When the reptile
turns the bird uses one of his wings
as a shield and strikes with his foot.
The snake buries its fangs in the wing,
but leaves the poison in the plumage,
and the bird escapes unhurt. Repeat
ell blows from the powerful claw con-
fuse and disable the snake. and at last
it falls, to be at once dispatched by
thrusts of the sharp beak into its head.
The bird then losses his victim into the
air and, catching it as it falls, swal-
lows it.
