TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With a Baited
Not and a Decoy Bird.
Every year, according to an old cus
tom, in the second quarter of the Sep
tember or October moon, tbe Inhabit
ants of the Chinese province of Shan
tung go to Mongolia to hunt tbe eagles
which abound in that region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys.
The hunters make use of a large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in tbe midst
of which is placed a tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour tbe
bait and thus Invites its wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
bunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used in the manufacture
of fans and are sold at a high price
even In China. There are three sorts
Kicpei, black with white centers; Che
ma, white spotted with black; Tout
sing, half white and half black. Sev
eral eagles contribute to the making
of a fan, for only a small part of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
fans are very costly.
ANIMAL EVOLUTION.
Changes In the Partridges of the Ca
nary Islands.
A remarkable example of the effects
of environment and changed condi
tions of life upon the forms of ani
mals is furnished by a species or par
tridge living in the Canary Islands.
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
troduced the red legged partridge from
Europe Into these islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves, it has un
dergone modifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
It lives.
Its back has turned from russet
color to gray. This looks like pro
tective coloration, since the bird passes
its life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that of its
ancestors and of its European rela
tives, and Its legs also have Increased
in length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it to the life that
it Is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides of
the islands, where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in its former home. Har

Mighty Queer.
The negro on occasions displays a
fine discrimination in the choice of

"Wlio's the best whltewasher In

"Ale Hall am a bo'nd a'tlst wltn a

"Well, tell him to come ana white

Uncle Jacob shook his head dubi
ously.
"Ah don't "believe, sah, Ah'd engage
Ale Hall to whitewash a chicken
house, sah."
"Why, didn't you say be was a good

"Yes, sah, a powe'ful good white-
