walt on, weatherlng and yarnk. One
term of falconry we have with us to
this day In rather common use but
misapplied. That Is the word news
In England and In this country one
sometimes sees lane of private sta
bles called news, such rs Washing
ton News, just north of Washington
square in this city. When n hawk
moults she Is said In the "patter" of
the sport of falconry to "mew" and
the place where she was put to moult
used TO be called her "mew." Hence
n row of such buildings were "mews."
Hawks, not horses, belong in "mews." b"
The training of falcons is an art re-
Qulring Judgment and patience. Their
education begins when they are nearly
ready TO fly. The young hawks are
brought TO their future home and
turned loose In shed open in front,
but rooted In against bad weather and
with sides and back TO Il. Blocks
of wood are pcggcd 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

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-thIrticth Of the huge mass
OF the oceans Is pure salt. What does
this BRING Ms toY
Taking the 1870 odd million square
miles Of the five oceans 10 average a
mile and half deep, we have in them
alone 200 million cubic miles OF salt
water. a thiIteth 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 It's
snowy powder TO depth of twice the
height OF st. Pau's. To put II another
way, If all the earth were salt water
there would be enough Of the havOring
principle in it TO make two moons OF
solid salt but very little smaller than
our present satellite.
But these comparisons are almost
too huge for handling; let us take
something smaller. The rolling waters
Of the English Channel are familiar
to all Londoncrs. How much salt Is
there in them? Close upon hundred
cubic miles. Made into Il convenient

G. III. Murray, OF the United States
Fish Conn .ssion. Is authority 'or the
statement that mosquitoes attack and
kill baby trout when they come to lie
surface. 1t Is also held by many sc;en-
lists that the mosquito may carry dis
ease germs from one person 10 another
by means Of its cutting and blood
sucking instrument. It Is limited that
the .pres o. disease n this manner
Is more prevalent than people believe.
ana thus another reason has evolved
for the forming of n dragon fly army.
The hammer-hcad dragon-ny. which
may be known at once by n glance az
the shape Of its head, is said to be the
most vOraciOus Of it's kind. One OF
these creatures was injured accident
ally by an cxperimenter. who had
knocked of with blow at least seven
segments Of the insects body.
TO test its life tenacity and its appc-
tite as well the seven segments were
fed one after the other to the injured
insect 1t ate them readily and with
apparent relish. If the people living
near mosquito pools have not had the
foretI iGht to lay in a supply OF en-
bryo dragon flies let them sprinkle
this spring a little crude petroleum
over the surface Of the infested water,
and the result will be the dying of all
the mosquito wgglers that lie in the
depths. This means is inexpensive
md certain. though far less interesting
than the unleashing Of few battalions
Of darnng needles to overwhelm and
devour the stinging swarms.-Cincin-

block and roost. and the second part
of it's education begins. The falconer
takes the birds out separately ana eX-
crcises them. A long string Is tled TO
the less (a leather strip about eight
inches long which always remains
around the falcons lcg) and the bird
Is encouraged to fly in circles over the
falcouer's head When she gets to
crcling around pretty lively Il piece
of meat. or dead pigeon Is thrown to
the ground, and, rs the hawk has
not been fed she stoops to It.
The falconer is constantly with his
hawks, handling them and dissipatlng
| their natural fear of man, and every
| effort is made TO get them accustomed
to the presence of strangers. This Is
called manning" n hawk.
Finally the education of the hawk
! is so far advanced that she is tried
afcld. The hawkcr, being in the field.
unhoods the falcon. which is sitting
on the gauntlcted glove he wears on
his left hand. slips the leash from the
jess, gives the bird toss. and away
| she scars In widening circles until she
! spies the quarry. when she swoops
down upon IL and kills It. A piece of
meat is given to the bird rs reward,
and she is taken up and hooded again.
When several hawks are taken out for
field work they are carried on wood
en- frame called "cadge" until the
falconer gets ready To fly them. \
