this she will feel her strength and
gradually desert her home and go fot

happy ending, bells are attached to
the hawks legs which, by their warn

keeper that the hawk is from a neigh

ercises them. A long string Is tied to
the jess (a leather strip about eight
inches long which always remains
around the falcons leg) and the bird
Is encouraged to fly in circles over the
falconer's head. When she gets to

of meat, or a dead pigeon Is thrown to
the ground, and, as the hawk has
not been fed, she stoops to 1t.
The falconer is constantly with his

their natural fear of man, and every
effort Is made to get them accustomed

Finally the education of the hawk
Is so far advanced that she Is tried

unhoods the falcon, which Is sitting

spies the quarry, when she swoops
down upon it and kills it. A piece of
meat is given to the bird as reward,
and she Is taken up and hooded again.
When several hawks are taken out for
field work they are carried on wood

falconer gets ready to fly them. A
falconer after successful day will
bring back home n bag Of pheasants,
hares, rabbits, Quails, partridges, ETC.,

he has had In training his falcons, even
If the sport itself did not-which 1t
does.
In North Africa falconry has been
for vast number of years a favorite
sport. Ancient Egyptian carvings
seem to show that it existed In the
days Of the Pharoahs. At this day
the Bedouins fly their falcons and 60
following them over the sandy plains
of Tunis and Tripoli on their fleet
horses. The reintroductlon of falconry
as a sport into Europe has been so
successful that international meetings
are now held. In recent contest Of
falcons Mt Spa, Belgium, several prize S
were taken by the hawks belonging to
G. Il. Radcliffe, an Englishman, who
devoted much time to the sport. His
hawks are especially well trained, and
were much admired at the meeting In
Belgium. He has the advantage of
an open country around his home at
Wareham, In Dorset, so that when

chance Of striking their quarry. II

from which the drawing was made Is
worn with skirt of figured black silk
and over n waist made of ready tucked

Pastel tinted taffetas are admirable
and exceedingly attractive for garden
party and informal evening wear, but
the latest hint from Paris tells of taf-
feta enriched by embroidery into

of any contrasting material, but is

STUDY IN SALT.
Extracted From the Oceans and Rolled
Into big bale.

Extracted From the Oceans and Rolled
Into Big Bale.
The London Daily Express says:
Roughly speaking, IL you take the salt
out of sea water you deprive 1t of a
thirtieth Of its weight. On this basis
one-thirticth of the entire weight of
all the sea water In the world Is salt,
and as salt and water bulk about the
same we may estimate also that, by
bulk One-thirtieth of the huge mass
Of the oceans is pure salt. What does
this bring us to?
Taking the 13O odd million square
miles of the five oceans to average a
mile and n half deep, we have In them
alone 200 million cubic miles Of salt
water. A thirtieth of this should give
us the bulk of the salt contained in the
great waters of the globe.
Rounding the figures we get some
thing like seven million cubic miles Of
salt. If It were all taken out and
spread over the surface of the six con-
tinents they would be covered with its
snowy powder to depth of twice the
height Of st. Pauls. To put 1t another
way, If all the earth were salt water
there would be enough of the fiavoring
principle In 1t to make two moons of
solid salt but very little smaller than
our present satellite.

Electric Cartridges.

An italian electrician has invented
an electric cartridge, which he offers
as a substitute for dynamite and
smokeless powder In mines, rock blast
ing and for heavy ordnance. The COM
position used In the cartridge is made
up of carbonates of potash and chlo-
ride of ammonia, the proportion vary
ing according to the use. The dis
charge is effected by an electric spark,
which produces electrolytic effects
upon the chemicals. The inventor
claims that the cartridges, until sub
jected to the effect of electricity. are
entirely inoffensive and perfectly safe,
so that there will be no necessity for
isolating the magazines where they
are stored. - London Commercial In

Queen Bess, the kestrel Is the hawk

education begins when they are nearly
ready to fly. The young hawks are
brought to their future home and
turned loose in a shed open in front,
but rooted in against bad weather and
with sides and a back to it. Blocks
of wood are pegged into the ground.
These blocks serve the birds for roosts
and for dining tables On these blocks
the falconer places the food for the
young birds, consisting Of fresh meat,
dead rabbits or birds. The hawks
soon learn to fly and In a short time
can be seen soaring above their home

can fly many miles, they always re-
