Imperial Items The sea otter combines the habits of a seal with tbe intelligence and amus- ing character of the otter. When met in herds far out at sea, which Is but seldom now, they are commonly seen swimming on their backs. They even eat their food lying in this position on the water and nurse their young ones on their chests between their paws, ex- actly as a south sea Island mother swims with her baby In the water. When swimming In this attitude they even shade their eyes with their paws when the sun dazzles them. The Sen Otter. Altadon Is often made, especially In fashion Journals, to "osprey" feathers. Vcvr words have been more loosely bandied about than this bird name. The Roman nnthor Pliny's "osslfraga" (bone breaker) has been Identified with the lammerffeyer, a vulture that la re- puted to break up bones too biff for it to devour wbole by dropping thorn from a height upon rocks. But both "osslfrngc" nnd "osprcy," a newer form, came to be applied to quite an- other bird, the fish hawk, which la now the true "osprey."
