for the accommodation of this roving 
eye of the halibut. In but three or 
four days from the time the eye begins 
its migration the operation is complete. 
And then, even if the eyes have a 
“crossed” look and the facial expres- 
sion is somewhat forbidding, the fish 
has the satisfaction of having accom- 
plished an ocular operation which is 
not only unique in its character but is 
probably without parallel in the entire 
realm of Nature. 
The Funny Side of Deer 
Hunting 
(Continued from page 648) 
buck sank in a whirl of water, and was 
not again seen until, two weeks later, 
his carcass washed up on a sea-beach 
at the mouth of the river. I questioned 
Paris concerning his unfortunate lack 
of restraint. He blushed (I think) and 
looked shamefaced. ‘To tell you the 
trufe, Cap’n,” he said, “I know I done 
wrong. But I was so hongry that 
everything in me tell me for to knock 
um. If I hadn’t been so hongry I 
would have had more sense. But when 
I done see dat meat, I jest rise up and 
knock um!” 
He Hung Himself 
N the Blue Mountains of Lebanon 
County, Pennsylvania, for almost a 
score of years a huge stag with one 
horn eluded the many hunters who 
went in his pursuit. At length, how- 
ever, his fated hour came. He stood 
up on his hind feet to eat some tender 
shoots on an oak tree, when his single 
antler became wedged between two 
stout oak limbs. There he remained 
captive until Thomas Ney, a hunter of 
considerable note, came upon him. It 
is said that the magnanimous sports- 
man, set free the stag, cutting off one 
of the oak limbs with his hunting axe. 
After giving him his chance for free- 
dom, the hunter accepted his own 
chance for venison, and brought down 
the stag with a single shot at a dis- 
tance of seventy yards. 
An Astonishing Buck 
Two good hunters started a fine buck 
at sundown. He was shot at and badly 
bloodied but the darkness fell, and the 
stag made good his escape. However, 
so positive were the men that he could 
be successfully followed that they de- 
cided to ride the woods the next morn- 
ing in search of him. After: a short 
while, as they were riding down an 
open sandy ridge, where the hoofs of 
their horses made very little noise, 
they were surprised and delighted to see 
their buck stretched out on the sand. 
The man who had shot him dismounted,

Of course—he won't, but if he 
should, no damage would result.
