balloons possess large canine teeth, strong jaws

travellers assert that band of them

of the ancient and honorable warriors of China

but in lieu of bombs they hurl medley of doglike

In the tiny soul of the blue jay is implanted the
desire to render succor to every fellow being in dis
tress Last year, at Redding, California, most
awful advantage taken of the i'll omened dis
covery of that trait After years of gun slaughter
the astute sportsmen of that town discovered @
that the local decrease in the supply of quail was
due to the blue jays. Forthwith general slaughter
of blue jays resolved upon, and storekeeper
dense than his patrons offered series of prizes
for the scalps of the quail killing jays. In the pages
of The Western Field" the prize giver joyousy
recited the result. He said that by Gripping blue
jay, tying twelvefoot string to it. then letting it
fly and alight upon bush, its cries of distress at
traced other blue jays, which came seeking to help
it; and thus great numbers of the would be
easily killed. He figured up the total number
of jays killed around Reddng last year as ten thou

because of silly idea that jays to blame for
the work of the deadly breech loading shot gun,

AS class birds much more helpful toward
Evening star., 1907-09-01

each other than are mammals 1t is very unusual
for the mammalian father to stay with his mate
and her offspring while the young are being reared.
Too often the father would abuse, even kill,
his own children; and the mother is wise enough
to distrust him and keep him at a safe distance.
The gray wolf is exception (and there others;
for he remains with the family and helps to kill food
for the pups. But | know of no male feline which
does anything like this.
So far as | have observed and heard, of the
great manlike apes-gorilla, orang, chimpanzee-
when in wild state manifest in the presence
of man disposition to help each other; but by all
the laws of evolution they should go farther than
other animals in that direction.
1t seems fairly certain that birds are much
given to working together and helping each other
than mammals 1t must be because the
sty is greater and the danger of bad behavior is
less The male Canada goose mates for the season,
and takes great pleasure and pride in doing his
share of the housework. He helps build the nest,
against all corners, with degree of faithfulness
and courage in the face of danger that would do
credit to the best policeman earth. The male
sandhill does precisely the same, and did
a male herring gull which | once knew personally.
In an aviary containing twenty other gulls and
peninsula and on the isthmus leading to it the male
stood guard day and night during the whole six
weeks period OF incubation. He either blutfed or
fought to standstill everything that came within
feet of that nest Before his defiant and terrify
ing screams and his threatening beak and wings
no other gull could stand for moment When a
Canada goose crossed his dead line, the gull would
rush at him, seize him by the nearest wing, wing
beat him, and hang like bulldog, regardless of
being dragged about by the stronger bird, until the
goose glad to purchase peace by retreating.
During all these battles the female gull sat firmly
on her three eggs pointed her beak at the sky and
screamed encouragement with all the power OF her
vocal machinery.

CENTRICITIES OF SOUND

THE photographic Office at Washington has on
l. many occasions warned seamen not to trust
the audbity of fog whistles One would naturally
suppose that loud and continuous sound could be
heard at about equal distances in all directions, in
the absence of wind and if no large solid body
interposed.
Repeated experiments by this Government have
shown that this is not true and that mariners who
trust to their alone when they are dangerous
coasts guarded by fog signals great peril
" Sound shadows are formed within which the ear
detects trace of the signal, although the whistle
may be blowing with full force, and the sound
may be perfectly audible on all sides of the shadow
Sometimes the of sound shadow can
readily be discovered as, for instance, in the exist
ence of bluff just behind the whistle In such
case the sound appears to ricochet like cannon
ball bounding the water; in other words it
Evening star., 1907-09-01
DANGEROUS Feathered Defenders

IN the bird world the males of great many species
help build the nest, defend it, and the
young The male sandhill crane does so, and during
incubation he sits the nest while the female is
off in quest of food, drink and exercise. When the
female is the nest, he guards her most jealousy
and courageously, and his beak is a weapon to be
avoided. Never permit children to approach a
fence where there is angry the other side
The male Canada goose conducts himself pre-
cisely as does the male crane and which l knew
personally would not permit anyone to approach
nearer than within seventy-hve feet of the nest.
The female rhinoceros hornbill of the Far East
permits the male to plaster up with mud) the hole
which leads to her nest in hollow tree trunk, and
trusts to his feeding her through very small open
ing while she is sitting the eggs. Why is this
strange thing done? No one can say for certain
but think its object is to protect the large and
easily discovered female hornbill from the attacks
would gladly destroy her if they could.
1t is probable that wild animals help each other

mutual protection; but few of them do
more than simply associate and watch
for danger. The beaver is different.
The whole colony joins in the arduous
labors of dam building, house building,
canal digging, tree cutting, and the stor
ing of food wood in the bottom of the
pond for use in winter He who takes
the trouble to watch a colony in the
quiet hours preceding and following
sunset will often see several beavers at
work on the same task, each one ami
mated by the same we'll defined purpose,
and toiling with the kind of diligence
that has immortalized the species in the
enviable comparison, Working like "a
beaver
The work of single beaver in
wilderness would be SO inconsiderable
that it would make little impression
and might not long endure; but on

completely baffled.
All this time | watched matters
with keen interest; and presently
remembered the grizzly's habit of
covering up its prey. There was no
indication that Kobe intended to
devour his dead friend; but for all
that l decided to try an experiment.
We gathered up pailful of dead
oak leaves and threw them into the
den within two yards of the guardian
bear. Forthwith Kobe raked the
whole collection down to his dead
friend, and clawed them upon and
round the body We threw in a
large, fiat pasteboard box; which
he tore to pieces and bestowed in
fragments upon the little corpse.
Then | sent for an armful of straw,
and when it also had been dropped
in from above Kobe took it and
disposed it so judiciously that the
body was completely hidden from
view And still he stood squarely

The Pugnacious Walrus

/ STUDYING the nentaHtS OF animals, we COntnu-
ally meet unexpected conditions. For example
would expect big, fat phlegmatlc animal
like a walrus, which land is easily driven away
from the and dubbed to DEATH to wage
against whenever it is attacked in its native
element. Yet it happens to be a fact that herd of
Atlantic walruses will occasion put up fight
such as would put lions and tigers completely to
shame.
Professor L. L. Dyche, of the Kansas State uni
verslty, IS a mighty hunter, who has killed many
species of the big game of North America His
repertoire includes the grizzly bear Alaska brown
bear, black bear, gray wolf, elk, moose, caribou,
goat and sheep Once he declared to me that the
only time when he really frightened in hunting
when he shot big walrus from boat in Whale
Sound, and was Immediately attacked by the whole
herd. The huge beasts furiously charged up the
boat, and usual in such endeavored to hook
their long tusks its sides to smash the craft,
else to sink it. The Eskimo yelled in terror,
Shoot, shoot" and with rife in hand Professor
Dyche stood up amidships, firing at the enraged
animals fast he could pump cartridges into
big male waruses surely would crush or swamp the
boat; but the quick firing gun finally out, and
the attack repelled.
Aside from the quickly excited courage of the
great beasts the surprising feature of such behavior
hes IN the fact that they act in such complete accord
that all the members of herd are simultaneously
wrought up to fighting pitch and animated by the
same purpose,-to repel the attack upon them and
destroy their enemies. 1t is to be observed that
isolated occurrence in the life of the walrus but it
represents mental trait fixed that it NAV be
called habltual. Other walrlls hunters of whom
Is LangdOn Gibson, president of the Arctic Club
have been similarly attacked and placed in genuine
peril.

the body and left him undisturbed l felt that
at the feeding hour could accomplish by strategy
what we had failed to do by force.
We posted two in concealment high up
the rocks, ready to rush in quickly by the door
and remove the body. The food was served at the
usual hour, but the front bars only and as
far possible from the guardian bear. Then kobe's
hunger and thirst impelled him to leave his post for
a moment and go down to secure his share of the
food; and by the opportunity thus afforded the
dead bear swiftly removed
Now what the dominant idea in that bear S
mind during those nine hours of savage vigil?
leave the question with the reader; for it open
debate, and opinion is good another
think Kobe felt that the small bear helpless
and in need of a champion. But did he recognize
death? There is fact that l add with some
luctance, because it easily be misused. The
dead bear, be it remembered, was from Japan, the
native land of Kobe. That only accidental
coincidence Previous to the death of the small one
the two had not been specially companonable.
But the keeper stated curious circumstance
that when a small American black bear had died
about four months previously Kobe paid no atten-
ton whatever to its remains.
