The Albatross. The albatross spends its life, with the exception of a few weeks given each year to nesting, entirely at sea, aud is on the wing practically all the time. Furthermore it does not progress pro-gress by Happing its wings, as most birds do. but seems to soar at will, rarely, if ever, giving a stroke of the wing, seeming to need no impetus. At nesting time, which is early in the year, the albatross repairs to an isolated iso-lated island, such as one of the Crozet islands, in the southern Indian ocean, or Tristan da Cunha, In the South At- . latic ocean.
