Coat Made from Loons' Breasts. Tho breasts of 3C5 loons mado into n coat! This Is tho strange guimcnt shown In thu window ot a downtown shoo company. Tho manager knows llttlo of tho history of tho coat except what is told on tho card exhibited in tho window. "The company is sending the coat nrouud to be shown In Its various btores, ho said. "How It camo Into Its possession I do not know." The breast of a loon Is nbout four Inches bounro and each bears a whllo spot In Its center. The number of pieces In tho coat, therefore, can bo counted readily. As these birds aro very dllllcult to shoot, many years must havo been required to mako tho collection. Kansas City Star.
