meeting of the National Congress of

able. The water was from cloudburst
about half mile farther up the gulch
and the horse had heard the noise OF
the rushing water before the rider.
Half a mile of the Box canyon road
leading to Florissant was washed out
and bridges carried away. Swisher re.
mained on the mountain side for an
hour before he considered 1t safe to re-

The sea lion displays no little skill

in pursuit the sea lion dives deeply un-

from where 1t disappeared then, rising
cautiously, 1t exposes the tip of its
nose along the surface, at the same
time giving 1t rotary motion. The
unwary bird near by alights to catch
the object, while the sea lion at the
same moment settles beneath the
waves and at one bound, with extend
ed jaws, seizes Its screaming prey and
instantly deyours 1t.
