THIS MOOSE CARRIED A COM
PASS.

From Forest and Stream: Last
winter near the town of Shelburne,
Nova Scotia, on the farm of Mr..
Cornelius Swanberg, q moose was
shot by his son George, and when the
creature was opened up the contents
OF the stomach had discharged
through rent made by the bullet.
Among this half-digested material
appeared small brass compass l d
inches in diameter with cover. but
in good order. Spots of green rust
were evidence that 1t bad been swal-
lowed at least two or three days. The
young man, whom I know very well,
presented me with the compass No
doubt the animal had been picking up
the scraps about camping ground
and gathered up this trinket in her
loose lips. Snch an occurrence must
be extremity rare. Very likely that
no other moose had ever roamed the
forests with a compass in the stom-
acn. Had not the stomach been torn
by the bullet in this instance. the DIS
covery of the instrumnt would not
have been made.
