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 'nes-
ter in her own home, says Oliver G.
e Pike, F.Z.S•, 'in Tit -Bits. A huanan
incident that actually came under my
nnotice reminds me of the. female pha-
i!� 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 sb.e's resting!"
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 trie
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 females intend
to continue their pleasures on the
loch. They have to work harder than
ever, for as the day follows day the firmaries for the "'insane due to alto- gating, at least a thousand. And w

Ceremony:Was Conducted With I)ue
I)iglity and Solemnity.
The first wedding ceremony ever I1
held on the summit of alit. Fuji, I
Japan's sacred mountain, took place 1
recently,
The bride and groom of the novel
matrimonial event were Shido Ntaka-
mnl'a, instructor of ecoromies a.t
K.okugakubi liniversiti', Tokio, and
Miss Envie Utstitut of Koshibeutura.
The party, consisting of the happy
pair; four relatives and friends, as-
cended the mountain. the morning of
to the new court, but this has never
actually happened during the twenty-
one years of its existence.
The most important' decision in-
volving the death. penalty was not
given by the Court of Criminal Ap-
peal, but by the highest of all legal
authorities, the House of Lords. I
refer to the ease of a night watch-
raan—I think that was his ocoupa-
tion—who was found guilty and sen-'
tenced to death for the murder of a
little girl.
It was admitted 'ey both prosecu-
tion and defence that the prisoner
had been in a state of complete he -
tilt wedding day. The bride's an toxicration at the moment he had
groom's sides parted on the summit,
and each party went to get the IKin-
meisui (golden water) and Ginmel-
sui esib cry water) at the two fani-
otis fountains of Mt. Fuji.
Sacred water was offered to the
altar, and the ceremony was then
conducted with clue dignity and sol -
committed the crime. Indeed, this
was the main plank in. the defence,
but the jury would have none of it,
and the Court of_ Criminal Appeal
confirmed the. verdict.
The Attorne-Gen'.ral, however,
wished td have a higaer ruling and he
went to the House of Lords to get a
decision on the point as to whether,
in the cireumst rncee the charge
should have been. luaus'Ntighter or
murder. The judgment of the Law
Lords was that the prisoner could. be
hied, however, as there are about
40.0,000 deer in the state, and there
is no danger of the number diminish-
ing, despite mountain lions, hunters,
and natural causes of death.
