Nests Of the Golden Eagle.

Every pair of eagles whose habits
have had an opportunity of watching
over period of a few years would
seem to have invariably at least two
alternative sites for their nests. Some
have three, and [ know OF one with
four sites. In fact, I only know OF
one pair out of many which habitually
resort to but one place and only one.
The reason for this is, however. APP
parent, for owing to its situation it
has never been disturbed. The nest
is in a small cavern on the face Of an
absolute wei of limestone rock some
500 feet high. at about 400 feet from
the summit. Above the cliff is talus
of loose stone at an angle of forty five
degrees or so. above which again rise
other precipices. To reach the nearest
point above this nest would be long
days work-London Saturday Review.

A STORY or THE SEA.
The Man Who Braved the Storm and
the Sailor He Rescued.

The Man Who Braved the Storm and
the Sailor He Rescued.
OFF the coast of Ireland there was a
terrible storm. and crowd gathered
on the shore to see a storm tossed YES
sci not far away being pounded on
the rocks.
Sturdy men launched a boat and
pulled away at the oars to rescue the
imperiled ones.
AS the boat came back the watchers
on the shore cried, Did you get
them?' and they answered: All but
one. We had to leave him or risk the
lives of ALL" And when they were
landed stalwart fellow stepped from
the group and said, "Who will join me
in the rescue of the remaining one?"
Then an aged woman cried out: "Oh.
my son, don't go; don't go. You are
all have left Your father was
drowned at sea, and your brother VIII
liam sailed away, and we never heard
from him, and now if you are lost
will be left in sorrow alone"
But the ran replied: Il must go.
mother Duty calls me-" Then he
and other brave hearts launched the
boat and pulled for the wreck.
AnxiOusly the mother waited in tears
and prayers At last they saw the
lifeboat coming nearer and nearer. and
when it was in hailing distance they
called, "Hav" you got your man."
And the answer rang out clear above
the storm. Eyes, and tell mother it's
brother William"

THE FUR SEAL.
A Sea Animal With Heart. Liver and
Kidneys Like Shseo

- oea Animal With Heart, Liver and
Kidneys Like Sheep.
The fur seal is land animal of per-
verted tastes, who living at sea. has
had his paws changed. into fiippers
very like the long black kid gloves Of
a woman. His heart. liver and kidneys
are exactly the same as those of a
sheep and just as good to eat. but his
flesh, although just like fat mutton To
look at. is rank and distasteful from
his habit of eating fish. The whole
package is put up in a parcel of thick
white fat to keep the body warm.
while from the skin grows a heavy
crop of beautiful brown fur. protected
with large fiat oil bearing hairs. max
Ing, a glossy surface which slides
through the water without friction.
Perfectly fearless. overlooking with
fun, perfect little athlete. marvellous
ly strong, the fur seal is the most de-
lightful. of all wild creatures. Rat. al
though they live at sea. the seals. be-
ing heavily clothed in fat. skin and
hair. find the temperate ATTITUDES much
too warm for comfort during the suia-
mer months Since they cannot shed
their garments Ike ourselves, they
migrate TO a subarctic climate. gather
ing in immense multitudes where there
are fisheries to support them. Their
ration is fifty pounds of cod every
day, which for creature the size of
sheep is considerable Exchange.
