He carried the loon to the camp on the lake shore where he was spending a few weeks, There he to his little son, who was his companion in his north- ern outing. “What a handsome bird!” the boy ex- claimed as he examined the loon. “But a very stupid one,” his father replied. “I lured it near the boat by waving a red flag in the air.” “No wonder people say, ‘Stupid as a Joon,’ the boy sald. “Yet it is very clever in its way,” the professor continued. “Few of the oth- er waterfowls can swim so well as the showed It loon, and none of them equals it in ary ing.
