Why are aea birds white, la a question that la often asked. Many learned men have attempted to solve the problem and among the reasons they have Siren is the one that enemies which prey upon birds of white plumage at sea are very few, and so those birds have escaped and have increased in numbers. Then, too, 'tin said that the fishes and other creature of the aea upon which aea birds live can aee their enemies beat when they have black coats, and thus escape them. White plumaged birds usually have, however, some few - black markings, either on their wings or tails, which serve as a badge by which they may be recognised by their friends. Thus the young birds can easily detect their mother while out on the water and follow her to the places where food can be secured. The colors ot aea birds correspond with those of the fishes on which they feed. Most fishes are dark above and light beneath, this arrange ment of color helping them to escape observation. It la, no doubt, an advantage to the birds to bare their white feather turned seaward, ao that they may be Jess easily seen by the fishes they are in search of.

I allow my subject to trap tigers and they frequently catch one In that way, but I have forbidden th use of spring guns on account of th danger to the people." Where do I shoot a tiger?" Th sultan laughed heartily at the question, "Why, anywhere so as to get him. As soon as he Is wounded he will either wait for you to come to him or else come at you himself. How near have J been to a tiger? Oh, I should say as close as ten feet. One can never tell how close one may have to get to the beasts. The sultan, as has been recounted, bagged bis first tiger In January, 1898. Before the close of the year he had killed his second, and In March, 1899, he added the 6kln of a third to his collection of trophies. My third tiger, said the sultan.
