Birds Shot with Water.

Shooting hummingbird with the
smallest birdshot made is out of the
question, for the tiniest seeds of lead
would destroy his coat The only way
in which the bird can be captured for
commercial purposes is to shoot him
with drop Of water from blowgun.
or fine jet from small syringe.
Skillfully directed, the water stuns
him. He falls into silken net and
before he RECEIVERS consciousness is
suspended over cyanide jar. This
must be done quickly, for II he comes
to his senses before the cyanide whiff
snuffs out his life he Is sure to ruin
his plumage In his struggles to escape.
Hummingbirds vary in size from speci-
mems perhaps half as large as spar
row to those scarcely bigger than a
bee. The quickest eye cannot follow
them in full flight. 1t is only when.
though still flying furiously, they are
practically motionless over flowers
that the best marksmen can bring
them to earth.
