KAKAPoS TAKEN IN SHARES
Simple Trick That Is Resorted To by
New ZeaIanders to Trap These
Wary Birds.

The New Zealand kakapO, or large
parrot, with all its credit for brains,
allows itself TO be caught in a very
simple manner. In the dusk of the
early dawn the Maoris, carrying tame
kakapOs tied TO long sticks, set off to
hunt These are the call birds used
to attract by their screams the large
fiOcks of kakapos flying overhead.
While one Maori tethers the call birds
by the leg and sets them screaming 10
the full extent Of their lusty lungs. an
other cuts as many perChes as there
are men in the hunting party from the
neighbOring bush. BY means Of rax
bands -hese are dashed firmly to differ
ent parts of little hut or WHARF, lin
which the hunters secreUe themselves,
So as to act as perChes for the uuSuS-
pectiug birds Each perch is so liked
that it can be drawn down into the
WHARF through the roof. On the perches
are placed running nooses Of fax. and
when all is prepared each Maori sits
quietly within the WHARF with his iaN
cord in his hand ready to pull at the
right moment. The cali birds are then
disturbed by means Of Il long stick, and
presently large flock of parrots, hear
ing their cries, wheel down and settle
with u great chattering in the adjacent
trees. One by one they fly and set
tie on the perches of the WHARF to hold
converse with the call birds, and when
every perch is occupied Maori gives
the signal and the nooses are pulled.
The hubbub Of screaming and scoding
as each perch with its captured parrot
is drawn down into the WHARF can be
best imagined. 1t is only equuled by
the frantic excitement Of the Maoris
as they grasp the birds by the neck
and throw them aside dead.

BRITISH LION REALLY SCOTCH
Fergus the First of Scotland, as
Proved by the Records, Took the
Animal as Device.
(TEIE END.J

The British lion is not British, after
all, in the broad sense, but strictly
| speaking, Scottish. This, of course,
| sounds like a contradiction. and it is.
But it seems that officially, birds and
/ animals as national emblems are not
always the ones most favored or

I It is a curious condition of things.

attention to the case Of the British"
lion, for instance. Fergus / Of Scot

the British partly owe the prosperity
which the feline monarch has done
nothing to help. Indeed. both lion and
unicorn have come out badly during
this war. An English officer has been
killed by a lion and other lions have
raided army stores of live stock in
Africa, and the rhinoceros, the real

Continental nations have generally
played very strong on the eagle, which
comes down to chem from old Rome,
and is certainly a grand type of force.

cock as the national bird and not only
the pun upon gallus. but the knighHy

of the great nation which has always

into the country. There he waited,
and minutes were eternities, He saw
