FISHING FOR BIRDS.
Catching GuIIs and AIbatrOss With
Rod and Line

Rod and Line.
Curious though it may seem, it is Il
fact that birds are caught with rod and
line in many parts of the world The
pastime is declared to be almost as fas-
cinating as fishing Gulls in Newfound-
land are caught in this way i'll large
quantities. In New England fishing for
gulls and petrels is an important in
dustry.
The method of bird fishing is practl-
cally the same as that of ordinary
fishing. Two men go out in a dory and
throw pieces of cod liver on the water
When large quantities Of birds have
been attracted to the spot more cod
liver is thrown out on a hook. This the
birds greedily swallow and thus fall
easy victims.
Albatross are fished for in the same
way off the Cape of Good Hope 4
piece of pork is attached to a long line
and thrown overheard The bird will
eye it for a long time, gradually and
cautiously making toward it. Suddenly
he will seize it and hold it in his beak
When he discovers that he is caught he
will sit on the water and vigorously
flap his wings. However, he will be
drawn into the boat and made a cap
tive.
Albatross fishing is good sport, since
the bird requires careful handling. So
long as he pulls against the line it is
easy enough. The moment, however,
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it is skillfully ma
nipuIated, and the bird will find him.

A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
The Famous Chained Library OF
WimbOurne, Ireland.

The Famous Chained Library OF
WimbOurne, Ireland.
Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowl>
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people in
1856 and numbers some 200 volumes.
The scarcity of books and the value OF
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft. By means Of chains
and rods the books were securely fas-
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the Ii
Drary fittings were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
is n copy of the first edition or Sir
Walter Raleigh's History Of the
World" 1914 1t has suffered from fire,
and tradition says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for its condition, the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon u time, and the
pages were burned by his candle. 1t
has been neatly repaired, and its mis-
hap now adds to it's interest. The old
est volume in the library is a fine old
copy in vellum Of "Reginum Aninna-
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343.
