Queer Experience In Owl Hunting In Tar
on Patagonia.
Why do cats eyes shine in the dark
while mems eyes do not? The author
of idle Days in Patagonia" raises
this question without answering it.
He shot and wounded an eagle-owl,
and the sight of the bird, he says
was one Of the greatest surprises with
which nature ever favored him. The
owls haunt was an island overgrown
with grass and tall willows. Thither

cent, furious eyes, on which / gazed
with kind of fascination, not un-

the agony suffered on former occasions

The rides were Of bright orange
color, but every time l attempted to
approach the bird they kindled into
great globes OF Quivcring yellow flame,
the black pupils being surrounded by
a scintillating crimson light which
threw out minute yellow sparks into

bird this preternatural fiery aspect
would instantly vanish
The question as to the cause of this
fiery appearance is one hard to answer

minos!ty in owls and cats eyes is
the light-refecting membrane be-

coat of the eyeball: but the mystery
remains. When the bird ! particu.

AFTER all it is not surprising that
passengers do not rush out OF "A train

acquainted with his fellow passengers
and knows not how much grit ,they
may have to rely on. IE the second
place, passengers are generally I'M
armed, and those who may have
weapons are supplied with nothing
more than pocket pistols, which in a
majority of cases, they are unable to
shoot with accuracy. In the third
place, the bandits are watching the
doors with Winchestcrs and can dror
them as fast as they emerge from the
car. II their own lives or the lives
OF their friends were in jeopardy
there are many passengers brave
enough to disregard danger and
actively resist. But when it IS only
dollars at stake, and dollars of a
wealthy corporation at that the
average passenger does not feel justi-
fed in taking the desperate risks that
contest would involve, and the
average passengers head is level.
