You can often locate hlm by finding broken shells o! shellfish, ot whlch he seems to be especially fond. He leaves the scattered fragments ot his meal on the banks of streams and lakes and among the rocks. The coat ot the otter is ot brown fur, and lt Is so valuable that, In order to prevent men from taking It from hJmf as be prefers to wear lt htmself, be hides away near secluded lakes or water courses t'ar from any place where men live. He ts almost twtce the size of the mink, being often 40 Inches long, and looks something like a senl when he ts partly out of water and bls wet fur gleams In the sun. This clever fisherman Is U1e cham~ ptoo of the fishing veterans who wear fur. No fish ts too swlft tor him. Whereas th~ mink prefers to take hfs fishing easily. the otter dives, swims or floats afte-r hJs prey. Tie ts nn expert swimmer and can dart nhout un· der the watPr wtth wonderful speed, so tllnt no Osb bas much o-r a chance when he goes fishing. Tie always catches his fish. Another wuter dweller wl10 some-times get credit as a fi~herman, but llves on a VPgetarfnn diet, is the beaver. Tbe IJeuver builds his home out in the water and there stot·es up his winter food. He likes the baric of t'rees and tbese he cuts down when tbey are succulent and tender with the sap. He gathers enough to tlde hlm over· the w1nter time, and Uves on hfs hoard, Jenvfng the fish, strange-ly enough, strictly alone. - Sbootina- Merely a Bluff Some Latin-American countries re. sort to revolutions as a simple form ot electlon and regard It as the best method tor mah-Jng a political change, Charles H.

' By ELMO SCOTT WATSON F, a few years ago, a cerlil.in mother down 1n Texas bad beell more success.fnl in per· forming the cer-emony of "lay. ing on of hnnds"-a cer-emony :tamutar to Innumerable mothers ot innumerable active, venturesome little boys--then thousands of visitors to certain zoological parks 1Ii varl· ous parts of the United States would never have bad the thrlll of looking upon the only authentic man-eating tiger ever brought to thiB country, the biggest king cobra ever captured alive, two of the exceedingly rare Indian rhinoceroses and the tiniest baby elephant (just two feet and ten inches at the shoulder) ever brought across the seas. But lest that statement appear to be too paradoxical let 1t be explained at once that she was the mother of Frank H. Buck, who as a col~ of live animals, reptiles and birds, is without a peer in the world today. She had 'discoTered her young son busily engaged in the capture of a blg, angry, buzzing rattlesnake near the Buck home on the outskirts of Dallas, Texa~, and the ''laying on of hands" ceremony was obaerved forthwith tu convince him that there were less dangerous way tor a lad ot his years to earn money. (He was collecting rattlesnakes because an old doctor in Minneapolis, Minn., w-ho manufactured a .. magic snake oll," was in the market tor the reptiles). Frank Buck wlll tell you that the ceremony wu performed 1n a mos.t thoroughgoing fashion. But 1t ta.Jled o:t its purpose. Fpr from his earliest chUdhood wild animals and birds fascinated hlm and the desire to possess them was hls mastering passion. So the mother who tried to sbape the destiny of the foremost exponent o:t the art of 11 bringing 'em back alive" was due to be tolled from the beginning. When the Buck f&O'llly moved to Chicago, tho boy, no longer able to capture small wild ani~ mals and birds as he had done on his native soll, haunted the Lincoln Park zoo and tbe pet stores 1n the big city, feasting his eyes on strange new animals nnd birds fL·om far-off corners of the earth. \Vhat money he was able to IIRV'e be inves.ted in ownlng some o! these birds -paying for one pair, incidentally, a price ten times as great as he himself could charge when years later he became a collector. When be grew older Frank Buck's hobby took hlm to South Amerlcn ln search of rare birds. This was followed by a second trip to the south· ern continent and \vben he sold b ls collection ot' Uve birds be found the deal so profitable that he resolved to go In :tor wholesale bird and animal eollectlog. And that was the beg:!nning of a unique career. Today Frapk Buck can go into almost any wo in the United States or walk through the menagerie tent of any circus and, looking through the bars of the cage~. gr~et the Inhabitant thereof as an old friend. For it was he who brought that Inhabitant from h.is native haunts to thle place so that the thousands or Americana who have before only heard of the exietence of some strange animal can see the animal in tbe ftesh. Obviously a man with such a record has had mo~ than hls &bar~ of thrills and narrow escapes from death. Obvi.o usly, toe, an account of them could not be told wlthin the space ot thl~ article any more than a full account ot them cQuld be told In the book uBrlng 'Em Back Alive," written by Frank Buck with Edward Anthony and pubUshed by Simon and Schuster. But there was space in that book to tell of the time Frank Buck found hlmselt sliding Into a pit with a man-eating tiger which be and his helpers were trylng to get out of the pit into a. cage; ot the time one o:t his leopards escaped aboard ship and bow be went into a cabin where the leopard was at bay and roped blm ; and o:t the time when a king cobra escaped :from Its cage and cornered him in a hut In his compound at Singapore. Those are only three of the ttm,es when Frank Buck stared death straight In the eyes. There were many others. Perhaps the strang.. est of all of them was the time a tapir. ordinarily the meekest o:t all animals, tried to crush him to death with its six hundred pounds of weight and all but succeeded. Then there was the time when nn orang-utan, tl1e giant jungle-man of Malaya, was just rendy to draw him tnto a denUt embrace w1Ut his powertul arms and then tear him to pleces with his teeth. There was just one chance to escape alive and Frank Buck took tt. He's not a professional boxer, but wbe:ra. the orang came at him wltb outspread arm~. J:suck simply walked In and gave the jungle-man an uppercut on the point ot the jaw that was as an etrectlve k. o. as was ever demonstrated 1n the prize ring. ... ... 1- ~ ;;;:;lit 0 U U ~ ~ JG ... 0 AND GET THIS: The u.s.

BuckWith a Baby Tapir Tran"k lluck and "Bab':J Boo" ..Yes, I have had more than my share o:t thrill!," Frank Buck will tell you. "But I am trank to sar that these close calls do not represent a love of looking death ln the eye. I am not thnt klnd ot adventurer. I take no unnecessary l"lsks. When a man operates on &II big a f):cale ns I do be doesn't have to look for trouble. No matter how careful one is, some-thing 1$ bound to go wrong when live animals and reptiles are handled wholesale. It is then that ~-perience counts." And be might add that experience counts 1n other times than when something goes wrong and an adventurer such as he is looks death fn the eye. A big game hunter bas to tbiok of saving only one Ufe-bls own. But a man who collects w1ld animals, as Frank Buck does, has to think ot saving his own life and the animal's too. For the biggest Jdng cobra, a giant orangutan, an Indian rhinoceros, or a man-eating tlger is utterly valueless to a zoo or a circus lf It is dead. Expertence counts, too, in keeping the animal alive after it has been captured. It may eeem strange to call Frank Buck a dietitian. But that's exactly what he is and he Is an expert In matters of diet to tbe most finlcl<y epicures tn the world. He can't guess how to accustom a wtld animal to the change :trom the food which it eats tn its wild state over to ''clvlltzed fare." Be bas to know I The capture of some rare wild animal may represent a great outlay of money and time, plus the ever-present element of danger te tlte collector. But l:f, after the beast b captured, its captor doesn't know bow to keep It healthy, both pbysically and mentally, the whole investment of time and money and the p0tentlal value of the animal when It is delivered to the .zoo or circus may be an entire loss. Typical of some of the dietetic problems which Frank Buck has had to solve was the ca!;le of Baby Boo, the two-foot-ten-inch elephant which be brought b•ck on one of bie tr1ps. So tar as is known th•ere has never been written any book on "The Care and Feeding of Infant Elephants." So when Frank Buck bought one trom a party ot Batiks in Sumatra and tt was delivered to him 1n a half-starved, weak and wobbling conditlon there were no precedents for him to go by in determinlng what to do to keep from having a dead baby elephant on his hands. Here is what happend, as he tells it: "l\Iy problem had j~t begun. I had to get some food Into that elephant's belly-and wlthout much loss of time. I sent AU (his native al!l&letant) out to l!lcout around for a milk-goat. He brought one back and hurriedly mUked lt. I tried to pour some milk down the stubborn pachyderm's throat but I couldn't get her jaws open. Once or twice I managed to get them partly open tut )le!ore I could pour the milk down she closed them again. ' ••r considered five or six dltrerent plans tor feedlng that animal, dismissing them as Impractical as fast as tbey popped Into my bead. Then I ji'Ot an Idea that I thought was worth trying, The first step was to send AlL to a nearby clump to cut me a length ot bamboo. As ts commonly known, a stick ot bamboo fs IQilde up of a series ot loints, the wood belng hollow between joints. All brought back exactly what I had aeut him for. a piece of bamboo about two inches in dlnmeter. I cut o:ff a piece about nine inches long, leaving the joint to form the bottom. This gave me a device which I planned to u8e as a feedln&" tube. I l!lharpened the opening till it came to a polnt, and, oe.U... fted that I was on tbe rlgbt track, I proceeded with the next step. 11 Before this could be carried out we had to get our elephant (we practically carried her) to the shack where we bad arranged to spend the night. I Instructed All to boll eome rice ln water. When the rice was cooked, I mixed some goat's mJlk with lt, the result being a th1n but nutritious gruel. Then I proceeded to fill my bamboo wltb this substance. "This done, All got his shoulder right under the elephant's forequarters till she wae: al· mos-t standing on her back legs. Then I torced the point o:t the bamboo tube between her tight· ly closed jaws, gradually working it In untll I could tip it up ana dump the contents down her throat. Stubborn to the last, 1he tried to keep :from swallowing, giving in after a few seconds of gurgling. A second tubeful was prepared and the operation was repeated, this tfme the task proving less difficult. In all, I ted her three tubes o:t gruel that session. uAn hour later I put the obstinate little girl to bed, covering her np with Ei'Qme old gunny sacks. The following morning there was a definite improvement ln her condition, some ot the wobbllness hnvlng df•nppeared. We gave her her breakfast, repeating the p~rtormance with the tube.

We had no trouble feeding her en route, the bamboo feeding tube working perfectly." One other Hem which a wild animal collector needs to have in his psycholo~lcal flqulpment for followjng his profe~lon is d1plomncv. That Frank Buck has that ls shown by the f~ct that some of bls rarest specimens ha.ve been obtained because of his friendship with oriental potentates and his skill in handling the native peoples of the jungles where he bas had to go to find his animals.
