Birds Shot with Water.
Shooting a 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
or a fine jet from a small syringe
Skillfully directed, the water stuns
him. He falls into silken net and

must be done quickly, for if he comes
to his senses before the cyanide Whit
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 a spar
row to those scarcely bigger than q
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.

the South together by a bond of
friendship.
81 believe. with my knowledge
of human nature, that those fellows
who have been fighting each other
for the past five years would sail in
and lick any army on the face OF
the globe, and be glad and proud
and anxious to do it. l believe that
a hundred thousand of Grants men
and hundred thousand of Lees
could whip any army of twice the
size on earth. / don't believe there
are any such soldiers as these in the
whole world.
cit would be impossible for
England and the Canadians to
organize an armed force to meet the
splendid army of veterans we could
throw across the border. England
has navy, of course, but she can't
do us any harm, because we haven't
any commerce to be injured, and
our ports are impregnable. Eng
lands wooden vessels would be help
less against our monitors, and our
harbors and coast cities would be
safe"
sit was Senator Chambers idea,
of course, that the United States
should seize Canada from Great
Britain in payment for the enormous
losses inflicted upon our commerce
by British built vessels sold to the
Confederate Government. He talk
ed this matter over with me many
times. The prospect of extending
our northern boundary to the North
Pole pleased him.
st fell in with the plan almost
from the beginning. Senator Chand-
Ter unfolded his plot to many other
Senators, and it was discussed
seriously. At that time Alaska was
about to be annexed. and it was
realized that the British possessions
in Canada would come in handy.
Finally, SO far had the plot pro-
crossed that thirty Senators had
been pledged to support it, and I
attended many informal caucuses
at which the next step to be taken
were discussed.
''Then, at almost the very instant
the scheme was to be sprung upon
the country, and pressure brought
to bear upon the president to secure
his cooperation, Mr. Lincoln was as
sassinated. This made the carry
ing out of the plan impossible.
From the very first day johnson
took the oath of Office as president
he was at war with Congress, and
the invasion of Canada never
materiallzed. Chambers faith and
in the scheme won some
of the best minds in the Senate to
his proposition"
