one of the features Of the bay of Pam
anna, and a sight which is never seen in
the north.
Large focks Of pelicans make their
abodes on some of the islands In the bay
The days are clear and sunny, the sky is
blue and the trade winds from the orient,
which blow with almost measured steadt-
ness all day. seldom kick up even SO much
as white caps, except in the tempestuous
seasons. The pelicans, which grow to enor-
nous size in the tropics, hover over the sur
face Of the water in search of fish. When
the wonderfully keen eyes Of these mon
ster birds discern fish, though they usual
ly fly several hundred feet from the sur
face of the ocean, they drop and make
a dive, head foremost, with wings closed
tightly to their bodies. that make the dip
of death Of the diver in a circus look like
80 cents.
'"They drop through the air with the RAJ
pidity Of cannonball, strike the water
with tremendous splash. sending the
spray flying as II a real shot from can
non had struck the surface, and in
most instances 1t seemed to us that
they secured their prey, for we would
see them rise in the air with the fish in
their huge bills. AS is the case with all
large sea BIRDS however, their rise from
the water Is as awkward as their dives and
subsequent aerial flight are graceful. and
their mammoth wings beat the water into
q foam in their powerful strokes to gain
the initial momentum. Sometimes two and
three and even more pelicans would make
and when they would all land in the water
q few yards from one another. probably In
q school of fish. the sight was one OF the
most remarkable and interesting that could
be brought to tourists eye in trip
around the world"

ENOUGH TO MAKE A DOG LAUGH
Practical Joke Played Upon the In
telligent Tobv

"That dog of mine,'' said a gentleman
who lives on the outskirts of the town, sis
a wise dog" He was talking to another
man who had called upon him on a matter
of business and thought it would be wise to
gain his good will by interesting him in the
pup. The beast was as ugly specimen of
the canine family as could be well
scared up.
What can he do?" was asked.
He can talk If he wishes to- said the
owner, "but he don't want to. He knows
the value Of keeping his tongue. but now
Til show you something" he said, and ex-
planning that he had names for each one OF
the three pipes that he smoked. said to the
dog: "Toby, go and fetch me Zach. ray
lor."
Toby wagged all the tail nature had
youchsafed him and rushed upstairs with
cyclonic speed. He came back with box
in which was inclosed a well-colored meer-
schuam pipe
Now" said his master. ''get Bismarck
for me-" Away Toby rushed and his owner
said to the visitor, IT have that pipe In my
pocket" Toby was gone for some time. and
when he came back he was a detected look
ing animal. His tail was between his legs
his ears dropped and he looked as II he
wanted to cry Then his master said, ut
was all a mistake. Toby. I had 1t and no
wonder you couldn't find It, Aren't you
glad?"
"If you believe my word Of honor" said
the man who witnessed all that, Toby
laughed all over his face and actually got
upon his hind legs and danced"
