Whale attacked by Swordfish. A Bx\TTLE BETWEEN DEER. 311 tion shows such a battle in progress. The whale has succeededin tossing one of his fierce assailants into the air, much as a stagtosses a dog. Two other grampi, however, are clinging to hislips, and two more have buried their teeth deep into one ofhis fins. The enormous strength of the leviathan does notavail him much against the determined wolves of the sea, whowill probably soon have the huge carcass of their victim attheir full disposal. A Battle between Deer. A MELANCHOLY picture from the rich sketch-book ofnature is shown in this illustration. Two stags of theEuropean forests have been overcome by a terribledeath, while in the midst of the clash and shock of a strugglefor life. At the opening of the mating season the stags, in thefull splendor of their newly grown antlers, like kings of theforest with newly burnished crowns, are in the habit of engag-ing in deadly duel for the undisputed possession of the femalesof the herd
