Great In Speed, Appetite and Power of Abstinence. Easily first to oceanic birds In point of Interest as well as size comes the lordly albatross, whose home is far south of the line and whose empire is that illimitable area of turbulent waves which sweep resistless around the world. Com pared with his power of vision (sailors give all things except a ship the epicene gender "be the piercing gaze of the eagle or condor becomes myopic unless, as indeed may be the caso, he possesses other senses unknown to us by means of which he is made aware of passing events interesting to him at incredible distances from them. Out of the blue void he comes unhastlng on motionless pinions, yet at such speed that, one moment a speck hardly discernible, turn but your eyes away, and ere you can again look around he Is gliding majestically overhead.

Nothing in nature conveys to the mind so wonderful an idea of effortless Telocity as does bis calm appearance from vacancy. Like most of the true pelagic birds, he is a devourer of offal, the successful pursuit of fish being Impossible to his majestic evolutions. His appetite is enormous, but his powers of abstinence are equally great, and often for days he goes without other nourishment than drink of the bitter sea. At the Gargantuan banquets, pro vided by the carcass of a dead whale, he will gorge himself until incapable of rising from the sea, yet still his angry scream may be heard, as if protesting against his ability to find room for more provision against hungry days soon to follow. Despite his incomparable grace of flight when gliding through midair with his mighty wings outspread, when shore or on deck he is clumsy and ill at case.

Even seated upon the sea, his proportions appear somewhat ungainly, while his huge hooked beak seems too heavy to be upheld. On land be can hardly balance himself, and the broad, silky webs of his feet soon become lacerated. Thus his visits to tbe lone and generally inaccessible rocks, which are his breeding places, are as brief as may be, since even conjugal delights are dearly purchased with hunger and painful restraint. A true child of the air, land is hateful to him, and only on the wing does he appear to be really at home and ease ful. The most notable piece of literature In which the albatross figures prominently Is Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." St.
