at his desk that afternoon. "Mebby /

him instead of coffee or tea. You see
his nerves are in a bad way. and IL he

of which the writer has turned out in
considerable numbers during the last
few years. 1t is, indeed, a treat for
the bird-lover to see these lesser fal.
cons losing their fear of man day by
day, to watch them from the window
hunting mice in the meadows below,
lowering, perhaps, within a few yards
of the watcher, then bouncing with
lightning swoop on some hapless
vole, pausing to devour their prey be
fore ones very eyes. To naturalists,
the fact that the writer had three
kestrels nests under observation
in 1908 in small pine wood may be
of interest, as showing that there, is
comparatively little antagonism be-
tween individuals of this charming
species. In the case of one of these
the bold behaviour of the adult was
conspicuous, and the female would
almost allow me to handle her on the
nest. 1t was conjectured that she was
one of those liberated in the previous
year; one of a brood which had be.
come exceptionally tame before being
released. With certain exceptions the
kestrel is always harmless TO game.
In the case of 80 nests out of 100 the
kestrels will be found to be bringing
fur. e., mice, voles, etc.-to the
young, and the benefit thus conferred
on farmers is enormous.
With merlins this is by no means
the case, and young grouse are often
nrinnfnal nf for w.. hint
at no other period of the year are
they destructive to game. Owing TO
the fact that they nest on the ground
and in the most secluded places they
are not easy to locate, and to this
they often owe their safety. The num-
bers of kestrels in the Highlands are
apparently on the increase, and it
seems now to be generally recognized
that they are worthy of encourage
ment. Both kestrels and merlins are
to some extent migratory and the lat
ter seem less able to fend for them
selves when the ground is covered
with snow, departing southwark at
, the approach of winter. 1t is a curl

proach too near when hunting for
mice. On the approach of the pere-
CRIME, however, he crouches close to
the ground well knowing that no
courage will avail him here.
A few words in conclusion as to the
owls, of which we need only consider
three species-the tawny, the long
cared and the short-eared, for the
barn-owl, common in the south, is a
rara avis in the Highlands. The ap-
pearance of the short-eared owls in
autumn marks the approach of win.

they arrive at the time of the flight
has earned for them the name of the
woodcock owl. A few of these remain

when we heard a scream, followed
by a flow of Chinese language.
Crouched in the raft lines of the fore
rigging was a monkey Juggling at the
end of the Chinaman's queue. The
cook was swinging clear of the deck,
kicking at the other five chimpanzees,
which were attacking his legs. The
crew rushed to the rescue; the chin
panzee let go the Chinaman's pigtail
and made aft toward the midship
house
Wong Foo ran for the fo'castle,
yelling like mad, chased by the five
chimpanzees, which were followed In
turn by the seamen. Joined by two
of my firemen, Hubert Hansen and
Hans Fels, we rushed for a big fell

bos'n's locker. When we got inside
we were suddenly attacked by the in
furiated animal, and in the semi
darkness were completely at his

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakab bie that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex- crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg lect these warnings and there is dan- ger of dropsy, Bright's Disease, or di- abetes Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
