Vuiture and Rather.

An odd battle between California
vulture and rattlesnake was wit
messed in the Cocopah mountains Of
Lower California 1t was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized the
snake behind the head and was strug-
gling upward with its writing. deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly five feet long,.
The grip of the bird on the snakes
body was not of the best. The snake
seemed to be squirming from its cap
tors talons. at least sufficiently to en-
able it to strike. Its triangular head
was seen 70 recoil and dart at the
mass of feathers.
1t did this once or twice. and then
with a shrek the vulture dropped its
prey The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The as
toniShed men were then treated TO a
spectacle seldom SEEN Few birds but
vulture could accomplish such a feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches. it dropped earth
ward like a shot. and like a shot the
bird dropped after it. catching it in
midair with grip that caused death.
At any rate. the snake ceased to wrig-
gle and the vulture scared away to a
mountain peak to devour its hard
earned meal.

More Afterward, Probably-$14O,-
900 Raised Last Year Devoted to
Anti-Tuberculosis Fight.

The American Red Cross has made ar
rangements looking to the equipping OF
its army with thirty million Red Cross
Christmas stamps. This order will prob
ably be followed in rapid succession by
others.
AS far back AS 1862 stamps were sold
as a means for raising funds for charl-
table purposes. In that year great num-
bers Of these stamps. known as san
tary fair stamps" were sold at fair or
festival held in Boston, the proceeds from
the sale of which were to be used in the
care of the wounded from the civil war.
Two such fairs were held in Brooklyn.
one OF which, in 1854. netted the tidy sum
OF 500 600 In the same year. from April
to June. the great central fair was held
in New York city, at which the u. s.
sanitary commission" stamps were sold.
This fair netted the sum of $1.2W.Gp.
i. Various organizations and agencies I'm
several foreign countries fell into line and
issued many such stamps of different
styles.
Therefore. In looking around for a
means of raising funds TO assist the or
ganizations devoted to the fight against
tuberculosis the Red Cross rediscovered
this little sticker. The price is so small
that every one, no matter what station
in life he may occupy, may aid II he
will.
The 1908 Red Cross Christmas stamp
Melted. in round numbers. $4,000, which
was used entirely I'm anti-tuberculosis
work throughout the country. With this
money some of the organizations carried
on educational campaigns: some en-
ployed visiting nurses to go among the
tuberculous poor: others constructed and
maintained day camps" where persons
suffering from tuberculosis could enjoy
the fresh air, rest and receive the proper
nourishment. and others expended their
proportion of the money in furnishing
proper diet TO patients.
The 1863 Christmas stamps of the
American Red Cross will be printed in
red and green. They will be sold by the
branch Red Cross societies throughout
the country as well as by anti-tubercu-
losis and charitable organizations in hun
dreds of cities.
The design used this year is one Sc
lected by a committee of artists from
over twelve hundred designs submitted
in a prize competition held by the Red
Cross last May. The federal authorities
have granted the Red Cross the privilege
of selling its stamps in the corridors of
the post Offices throughout the country
again this year.
