He wanted a fish for breakfast. It seemed to him that that morning noth- ing else would do. Being himself flesherman, he must either find & mcut up dead along the shore of the PLUNGER W/ FISH NEZ SURFACE IT. Big River or he must get one from one who was & better fisherman than he.| He had searched the shore on both sides of the Big River without finding so0 much as a dead minnow. “That settles it,” said he to himself. “Plunger or Mrs. Plunger, I don't care which, will have to catch my breakfast for me.” So he had settled in the top of a tall, dead tree to watch for Plunger the Osprey, who is, as you know, a famous fisherman. He had seen Plunger head for the quiet cove not far from where he was keeping watch, and then change his course and go off down the Big River. He knew instantly that he had been seen by Plunger, and that the latter intended to do his fishing at some other point. He waited until WATCHING FOR A “NOUGH TO THE Y HIM TO STRIKE PAGE.

Then Plunger began to fiap up rather heavily in; that his claws were empty. that time,” muttered King pened. King Eagle was becoming im- patient, but there was nothing he could do about it. At last Plunger once more seemed to hang poised in midair for an instant, then shot down. This time there was no checking. There was a splash as he struck the water. An instant later he flapped up heavily and King Eagle saw his breakfast. It was fish, a fish. It would make a very good - fast, indeed.

Now the eyes of King Eagle are very wonderful eves. From that point so high in the blue, blue sky he could see for miles in all directions. The Big River lay below him like a winding silver ribbon. Above it, far away, he could see Plunger the Osprey slowly fiying back and forth above it. Plunger was watching for a fish near enough to the surface for him to strike it. King Eagle chuckled and sailed until he was right above Plunger, but so high above him that he felt sure the latter would not see him. “He is too busy looking down to see a fish to notice me up here,” thought King Eagle. “Ali T have to do now is to be patient and wait.” Now, flying is no effort at all for King Eagle, and he could hold his posi- tion up with hardly & movement of h:‘g """:'E'im“n'.“ ‘wonderful up there, an g le only had had his breakfast he would hl.‘:i”b.flx perfectly happy.

FOUR KINDS OF SEAWEEDS. Weeds of the Bea. [ how, during my boyhood, through masses of weeds swim in deep water of my home. Little did I think what those weeds stood for in the history of our world. Their relatives—seaweeds ocean—eare belleved to have been the first living things on earth. The exact form of the first seaweeds is not known, but it is supposed that they were smaller than pinheads. During the vast ages which have passed since the first little plants grew in the sea, hundreds of kinds of weeds have ‘% found living quarters in the oceans. ‘These include wingweeds, deep-sea tangle, Irish moss, sea lettuce, oarweed and seagrass, to name just a small number of them. Most seaweeds grow along the coasts, between the high and low points of the tides; but some manage to live several hundred feet below the ocean surface. Seaweeds are of many colors. Some are bright grass-green, others blue- green, olive-brown or red. Here and there weeds of fine purple color grow in the sea. Very likely the difference in color hss resulted from the fact that some kinds receive more sunlight than others. Many creatures of the sea depend on these weeds for part. or all, of their food. Small shellfish (brown-colored limpets) feed Y)u’ll do it-better on DAL collee on omeedm 3 bmn‘: it o‘fln different places until they can tear shreds. Oarweed is brownish in color, matching the limpet shell. The sea-hare, another -weed-eater, feasts on sea lettuce. Some ‘turtles live on a vegetable diet. One kind, “the edible turtle,” reaches a length of 3 feet. It feeds largely on a wering seaweed known as seagrass. Turtles of this type are found in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian in. Among the other ocean citizens which depend in great measure on seaweed are marine lizards found about the shores of the Gala] Islands. They measure 4 feet in length and have learned the art of diving. Their dives are for the purpose of obtaining sea- weed. - (For “Nature” section of your scrap- book.) ‘UNCLE ‘RAY.
