for the bounties upon them. How the
kea became a killer is not definitely
known, but it is believed to have ac-
quired the taste for meat during one Of
the seasons when sheep were so plentiful
it was impossible to ship them and they
were killed for their hides, which were
stretched upon fences to dry. From
pecking at the bits of fat which clung
to these hides the keas became bolder
and attacked living sheep. Their favor

neys and they land upon the back Of an
animal and with their sharp beaks peck
through the hide into the kidneys. Few
animals survive such attacks.
, FORTUNATE IN FALLING
IN WITH MARK COHEN.
Coming down to dunedin on the train
from Christchurch, we had the company
of Mr.. Mark Cohen, whom I had heard
called the kindliest man in the domin-
ion. Born in London of Jewish par
entage in 1849, his parents brought him
to Australia when he was years old
and moved to Dunedin, New Zealand,
after his education had been accom-
! plished. There he has for many years
identified himself with public work, hav-
ing served for ten years in the city
| council on educational boards, as a
! deputy inspector of insane asylums for
| the dominion government and in other
apacities. Today he is a member OF
| the legislative council, the upper house
| of Parliament. He set a record in New
Zealand for longest continuous service
| on a newspaper, having begun in 1865 as
an office boy on the Dunedi Star, from
which he retired the first Of this year.
after being its editor for many years.
Mr.. Cohen, who later was to be my host
at his Dunedin home, proved a veritabls
mine Of information on all subjects con-
nected with the Dominion and during the
railroad journey Of several hours pointed
out to US the many places of interest. He
particularly interested us with stories Of
the mountains in the range of the South
ern Alps, whose snow-covered tops we
could see from the train windows. Most
famous of them all is Mount Cook, which
is only 12,349 feet high, but which for
years defed all attempts to climb one Of

Peculiarly enough, the very men who
were so anxiously tearing up the soil in
their hunt for gold in the dry lands OF
Central Otago did not realize that that

developed into one OF the best fruit
producing parts Of all New Zealand. Dur
ing the early gold rushes and during
the later ones, when Chinese followed
the Europeans as the main seekers after
gold, four men kept on eXperimenting
with fruit, firmly believing that the soil
was most adaptable for that purpose. To
their persistent efforts Is due largely the
fruit industry Of Otago today. for others
Joined them and now there Is raised an
abundance of grapes, peaches, nectarines,
apricots, pears and several kinds Of nuts,
because irrigation makes up for the fact
that the rainfall is sligbt-an average
of fourteen inches a year. For years the
worst enemy to the fruitmen were the
birds, which destroyed their crops, but

In connection with sheep raising in
Otago province, I learned the story of a
bird, the kea parrot, which in the last
quarter of century has had a most
extraordinary change in its habits.
Originally the kea was just one of a
family of parrots that ate insects, honey
and wild fruits. But with the multi
plication of sheep the kea turned into a
bloodthirsty sheep killer whose depreda-

Once upon a time the river which

Dunedin is the largest city, Was the

The story is told OF an English car

and was told frankly that he was not
wanted, that only Scots were welcome and
that he should recross the river into
Canterbury and stay there with the Eng

NAME INDICATIVE
OF ANCESTRY.

Dunedin's very name is indicative Of
the ancestry of the people who first set
tied It. They wanted to call 1t New
Edinburgh. after the big city at their
homeland, but there are so many Bdin-
burghs in the world that the proposal to
call it Dunedin, which is the Celtic
name for Edinburgh, was quickly
adopted. They carried their naming fur
ther, too, in that the streets Of the town
bear many a name of streets in the
original Edinburgh and the little stream
which winds It's way across the north end
Of the city is called the Water of Leith.
Until 1S47 the only white men who
had been attracted to Otago Heads, as
