AN EAGLE MASCOT. 
Reported by the Boston Journal and transmitted to the 
Forest and Stream by Walter B. Savary. 
The fishing schooner Frances P. Mesqulta 
arrived at T wharf, Boston, the other day, 
having on board one of the strangest passengers 
ever picked up at sea—a beautiful brown eagle, 
18 inches long and measuring exactly 4 feet from 
tip to tip. The bird, which is called one of the 
rarest of its kind, was proudly exhibited by 
Capt. Mesquita all during the afternoon and 
large sums were offered for it. 
Strange as is the fact that the bird was picked 
up so far away from land, for when Capt. Mes¬ 
quita first saw it, he was 200 miles from Boston 
Light, the story of its final capture told by the 
captain and the crew of the schooner is far 
stranger. As told by them to The Journal re¬ 
porter, last Wednesday at noon the eagle ap¬ 
peared and alighted on the bowsprit. It rested 
there perhaps half a minute and then again took 
flight. Nothing more was seen of it until 
Saturday night, when the vessel was sixty miles 
out, the bird came up a second time. Then it 
flew around the vessel several times in a circle, 
as though making up its mind whether this was 
the same schooner, and finally decided it was 
and alighted. While first it appeared afraid, the 
second time it showed no fear and allowed itself 
to be caught by Hugo Savanna, one of the 
crew. It was evidently exhausted by a long 
flight and ate eagerly the food that was given 
it by the men. 
The eagle’s head is crested in a wonderfully 
beautiful manner. It has a breast of pure white, 
while the remainder of its body is of brown 
feathers flecked with white. 
Old sailors who saw the great bird yesterday 
said it looked like a South American eagle and 
another said it belonged to the family of the 
European sea eagles. But where it came from 
is a mystery that has been puzzling Capt. Mes¬ 
quita and his men. From its peculiar actions, 
especially in flying around the vessel on its 
second appearance, the crew believe it had been 
following the little schooner for the three days. 
The Mesquita, the principal share in which 
is owned by Capt. Mesquita himself, brought in 
a big cargo of fish, not less than 90,000 pounds 
being in her hold. Each man aboard will re¬ 
ceive a good slice of the profits from to-day’s 
sale. And each man. too, is willing to swear 
that the big catch is due to the presence of the 
strange mascot. 
WHY THE CAT ALWAYS FALLS ON ITS 
FEET. 
In the scientific department of The Literary 
Digest some space was given recently to a dis¬ 
cussion in the French Academy of Sciences re¬ 
garding the fall of the cat and its interesting 
power of turning itself about in mid-air so as 
always to alight on its feet. A recent French 
traveler in Persia, Col. E. Duhousset, relates 
that the inhabitants of that country have a 
legend that professes to explain the same fact. 
If for no other reason, this legend deserves at¬ 
tention as showing that the cat’s power—only 
recently taken up by scientists for explanation 
—was noticed and accounted for, in a fashion, 
in Persia many centuries ago. We translate 
below from Le Magasin Pittoresque, Jan. 15, 
part of Colonel Duhousset’s story. In traveling 
through Persia, it was his fortune to spend a 
night with a descendant of the Prophet. During 
a conversation, a cat that had been walking on 
the cornice lost its balance and fell to the 
ground. Says the Colonel: 
“Turning to me, my host asked if I knew the 
reason why the cat possesses the enviable power 
of making perilous leaps with impunity, and of 
always alighting on its feet. 
“I was completely floored. I recollected that 
in France we have in familiar speech a proverb 
that asserts this fact, but is mute as to its cause. 
I had to acknowledge that I found it impossible 
to solve the question. This is how my host 
solved it for me. in all seriousness: ‘You know,’ 
he said to me, ‘that it is due to a miracle 
wrought by our venerated imam Ali (The Sub¬ 
lime), the designated successor and son-in-law
