The flight they had in contemplation was a long one, Their summer home was in the islands north of Scotland. Up there was a small shallow loch surrounded by low hills, and it vies to this sheltered and lonely spot` that they intended' to treve1. The party set out, flying by night as well as day, and eventually reach- ed thelr'nor'therly home, A few days were spent in feeding and gaining strength after their strenuous flight, then tlze females of the party decided it was time they turned their atten- tion to more serious business, In most parts of birdland the males decide on their mates, but the female phalaropes have decided they are the best judges of the kind of bird they should live with, and the result was that the females of the Party had fights for the possession of the males. After a lot of splash- ing and sparring on the shallow wat- ers, the birds were eventually mated, and the colony should have settled down to married happtnesa. The femalae phalarope, however, discovered long ago that it is pos- sible to enjoy a very easy existence if one decides right away to be maa- ter in her own home, says Oliver G. Pike, F.Z.S., in ii+ 1?is, A human incident that actually came under my notice reminds me of the female pha- larope. There was a ring at the front door of a certain house. On the maid answering it, she was asked if the master was in. Yes was the re- ply, "but she's jesting!" When the strenuous time of court- ship is over, the males build cosy nests for their mates. These are well hidden not far from the edge of the loch. The females lay the eggs; then the males find it is their duty to sit upon them. For a fortnight they per- form their duties diligently, while their mates, in small parties, have quite a good time in the open loch. Eventually the young appear, and if the males think their duties are over; they are soon disillusioned, for they discover that the femalea intend to continue their pleasures on the loch. They have to work harder than ever, for as the day follows day the young become larger and requite more food. But, fortunately for the males, these baby phalaropes leave their nests very soon after emerging from the egg. At first they are pretty, downy creatures; they move slowly, and on the slightest sign of danger run to shelter. Although they may be just beginning to explore the big world into which they have came, they know at once what the alarm note of their parents means. Their small heads are poked under tufts of grass, and if their bodies show, they are so like the curroundlugs that most ene- mies would pass them by. Six weeks later the young are able to look after themselves. The whole colony are now to be ascii rearching for food on the open loch, the young mixing with their mothers and no duubt learning from them all the wiles of courtship. Before the summer is over the whole colony return to their African home. hand, paused to give his lathered dom and United States.

The California Fish and Game Commission is authority for the state-' ment that each mountain lion at large in that state kills, on an average, one deer a week.
