IT aulls stuck behind his ear.
The bird has ashen gray plumase

much as four feet in height, bur
great portion Of this is neck and lego.
It's wings are long when outstratched,
and it is strongly built and is adapted
TOR the peculiar work OF desiroyips
large reptiles.
As a rule it attacks smaller snakes
IT preference to the very powerful
ones. and in doing so uses every pre-.
caution against contact with the pois-
onous fangs or strong coils. II does not
attack its prey suddenly. but after
walking around the spot occupied by
eptile suddenly spreads its wings ana
ewes the reptile sudden bu. shart
blow on The head with its very hard
and sharp ,alons. This is done ~
,.ujclsly thar the reptile has no chance

Another son, George, was put to death in the Tower of London, his wife previously having been pois- oned. Edward, Prince of Wales

Besides these, she lost in bat tie or by murder eight nephews, d brother-in-law, a son-in-law and sev- eral others more distantly related. An other son-in-law, the Duke of Exeter, lived long in exile and in such poverty as to be compelled to beg his bread, and in 147S his corpse was found on the seashore near Dovsr, Her grand children were killed in battle CT fell victim to the exeeutIoner's axe
