They are, however, perfectly distinct; theupper parts of the former being marked with large, unequal, andobtuse tubercles; while those of the latter are quite smooth, andcovered with oblong soft scales, that adhere firmly to the body.

The enterprising, wealthy class consistsof Portuguese and pure Brazilians, with a few English,Germans, French, and North Americans. The multitude isan amalgamation of Portuguese, Indian, and Negro. Thediversity of races, and the mingled dialects of the Ama-zon and Europe, make an attractive street scene. Side byside we see the corpulent Brazilian planter, the swarthyPortuguese trader, the merry Negro porter, and the apa-thetic Indian boatman. Some of the more recent off-spring are dressed a la Adam before the fall; numberswear only a shirt or skirt; the negro girls who go aboutthe streets with trays of sweetmeats, on their heads areloosely yet prettily dressed in pure white, with massivegilded chains and earrings; but the middle and upperclasses generally follow Paris fashions.

his trip. W^e saw Florida Blue Jays about Apalachicola, but I wassurprised to find them absent around Lake Wimlico. Not onewas seen during the six days, but their absence is probably ex-plained by the absence of oak trees and the consecjuent absenceof acorns. Pied-billed Grebes were much rarer than I expected to findthem, since they are so common in West Florida during thewinter months. The rarest privilege of the trip from the standpoint of abird student was our experience with the Sandhill Cranes.Every morning at daybreak we could hear their sonorouscroakings. 44 The Wilson Buixetin—No. 70. A few species of birds were observed about Apalachicola.which we did not see up about Lake Wimlico, such as Wil-sons Snipe, Brown Pelican, Ground Dove, Pipit, Fish Crow,Red-winged Blackbird, and Boat-tailed Grackle, but they arenot included in the list, which is undoubtedly far from com-plete, as it contains only those birds that we were fortunateenousfh to observe from December 25 to 31, 1909.

I AMERICAN BALD EAGLE. COPYRIGHT 1900, BY A. W. MUMFOH0, CHICAGO Alabama, ipi5. 51 AMERICAN BALD EAGLE T HE Eagle does not acquire its white head and tail under itsfourth year. The head is fully feathered, and the nameBald refers solely to its white appearance. Up to threeyears of age it is of the same general color as the goldenEagle, and to distinguish the two species it is necessary to look atthe lowest joint of the leg. If it is naked, the bird is a Bald Eagle,but if it is covered with feathers quite down to the toes, it is agolden agle. As a rule—to which there are numerous exceptions—the BaldEagle is found along rivers, and the shores of lakes and ponds con-taining fish. Fish are its favorite food, and lambs are purely sup-plementary. As a regular thing, it catches fish out of the water,with neatness and despatch; but when it sees an osprey fly by with alarge fish in its talons, the Eagle does not hesitate to levy tribute onthe subject bird. Taken thus at a great disadvantag

The following account of our Shad is from the pen of Col. MarshallMacDonald, who has made it a subject of special study for many years : The Shad is found along the whole Atlantic coast of the United States,and its capture constitutes one of the most important fisheries in all thestreams draining into the Atlantic between the Gulf of St. Lawrence andthe St. Johns River, Florida. It is but rarely seen on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, but occurs inthe Gulf of St. Lawrence, the various rivers of which it ascends as farnorth as the Miramichi, which seems to be its limit in that direction, nonehaving been seen in the Bay of Chaleur. Throughout its entire range the Shad is found in sufficient quantities togive rise to fisheries of great commercial value. There is no run of Shadin any of the rivers dra

ch had notthen been developed into a question, but wasaccepted, as it had been handed down to us, as adivine institution, and therefore the only form thatcould be recognized—because of these strange ideas Ihad a great desire to see the writer. When the suc-cess of the book was assured and the real name of itsauthor had become known, I was filled with a greaterdesire than ever to look into the face of the womanwho had penned this somewhat weird production.The opportunity came to me during my sojourn inAfrica when I visited Olive Schreiner in her home. Her book being without a frontispiece of the writer,the only idea to be formed of her personal appearancemust of necessity be based on the characteristics ofthe book. These being so unusual, it was but naturalto expect to see a somewhat unusual appearing indi-vidual. With these thoughts in my mind I left thetrain at a station a short distance from Craddock, andfound the carriage waiting to convey me to the farm,some three miles distant.

My whole being just tingledwith suppressed interrogation-points, as I wonderedwhat such barren land could produce. Arrived atthe farm, a little body flitted from the house to thegate to welcome me, and in less than five minutes Iwas truly at home with this interesting, chatty littlewonian. Mrs. Schreiner is under average height, with darkhair, arranged in that careless style so becoming togenius. Her dark, sparkling eyes light up her facewith wonderful brightness as she expresses the inter-est she feels in all things ; for, from this place whereone seems almost buried, she keeps in perfect touchwith the outside world and its doings. This kindof life, that would narrow down and dwarf the verysoul of some women, is to her a perpetual feast. The house is of the style of the farm-houses of thatcountry—comfortable, but scarcely presenting the s

The three British ships immediatelyset about rescuing survivors—and then went back to harbour tocomplete coaling, having removed from the face of the seas the terrorsof the Pacific. Meanwhile, Cornwall and Glasgow had dealt faithfully with Leipzig,sinking her, while Kent had done the same for Niirnberg.
