Nelson Wood. an English scientist,
has made a lifelong study of the Ian.
guage Of birds and he thinks he can
not only understand what many of the
foathercd creatures are saying. but
also express things to them which
they understand. He has many inter.
osting things to tell about the birds
he has met.
The creatures of the air, so he says.
talk the least turkeys. chickens anI
such feathered creatures, as they do
not fly very much. talk the most. The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are al.
ways in more danger and they have
many notes of warning. Language
among them. of course. as 1t muet
have been with primitive man, is but
an expression of the simple needs:
Danger. hunger, warning. pleasure
and such sensations are the first emo.
tions expressed
To illustrate the various calls which
a turkey has, Mr. Wood cites a note
for overhead danger. another for
danger ON the ground. a third for Il
hawk in the distance, another of com.
plant when being driven, a different
call in open meadow from that in
bushes. a special signal at night. as
well as special kind of note used in
ordinary conversation.
Chickens have even more modes Of
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs. one when seeking her nest
another for calling her mate and a
third for grooming to herself or in the
search for food
The rooster has several distinct
notes and Mr.. Wood says that some OF
these the ordinary person never oh
serves. There is one, low fine whis
Tie which the rooster uses sometimes
on a dark day when going TO roost.
but when the rooster really begins TO
carry on an extensive conversation Is
when he meets another chanticleer IN
battle.
IL ranges all the way from a def
ant chuckle which invites the other
fellow to fight as surely as the pro.
verbal chip on a boys shoulder, to n
feminine Groom which means fear and
a desire to retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot is
the most intelligent. People have
been accustomed to think of the par
rot as simply mimic, but Mr.. Wood
pretends to have known many that
actually understood the words they
were saying. One of his parrot friends
always saluted him with Good morn.

case may be. That birds are able to

The cheerful lit of the songsters is
only one way in which they show
their joy of living in such a good

The Charm of Youth.

There is a charm of youth ana
happiness that carries a certain

superior charm which genuine beauty

No young woman uan afford to be
bluff and careless in her treatment OF
the world. In the old days OF the
Colonial times, manual work was more
necessary than exact culture, but they
have passed. The maker of dough
nuts and dumpiings was more impor-
tant factor in the society of a 100
years ago than the skilful teacher or
worker in any skilled field of today.
Women did not have time to be proper

BILLIARD BALLS


Making Them.
Few persons who WELD billiard
cue are aware of the time. trouble and
expense of making the ivory spheres.
The billiard ball in its natural state
is the principal means of defense Tor
an elephant. In time the elephant
falls a victim TO the venturesome
hunter. and he parts with his tusks,
which are the most valuable of all his
possessions to commerce Most of the
tusks find their way to London, which
is the greatest sales mart for ivory.
There are different kinds of ivory,
and only the finer kinds are suitable
for making billiard balls. The bast
comes from the small tusks. which
are from four to six inches in diam
eter at the thickest end. They are
sawed into blocks. each section being
large enough to allow OF the turning
of a single ball.
The factories devoted to the billiard
ball industry in this country usually
receive the ivory in this shape. the
sections being marked so that the
turner's know from what part of the
tusk each piece comes and in this
way can calculate as to its grain and
quality. 1t takes a long time TO pro-
duce a perfect billiard ball, and only
skilled labor is employed.
The exact centre OF the ball is first
discovered by means of measurement.
The block is then placed in q socket.
nf f-
by an instrument made of the finest
and sharpest edged steel, The half
turned ball is then hung up in a net
for awhile; then the second half is
turned and the ball hung UP as before
in room the temperature OF. which is
kept from go to 10 degrees.
The roughly turned ball is kept in
this position about a year. Then
comes the polishing. Whitening. etc. 4
good deal of hard rubbing is also
necessary, as the ball, before being
used, should be as near a certain
weight as possible and measure Two
and three-eighths inches in diameter
1t has been found impossible to gst
two balls exactly the same weight.
Very often they will be heavier on
one side than on the other. and fire.
quently they split right through the
centre. This is due to decay.
Not until after 1t has been placed
on the table is the real life of the hill
lard ball shown. The pores of the
ivory may close, and then if the ball
is kept in a hot room it is likely TO
crack, or it may crack by reason of
concussion with other balls. This is
one of the great difficulties to con.
tend against. To overcome this The
balls should be kept in as even a
temperature as possible.
When a billiard ball is first used. IL
occupies the first rank. A crack may
soon be exposed and then it is re-
turned to the factory. The nick is
shaved OFF, and it comes back slightly
smaller in size. 1t may then find its
way into some second rate billiard
room. After some more hard usage
II is again returned TO the factory and
comes forth again much reduced in
size and probably becomes a cue ball
in pool.
After 1t is found to be practically
useless for the purposes for which il
was originally made 1t is bought by
dealers In bone and ivory and the ball
is then turned into buttons or burned
and used In the making of ivory black.

when the body was found this morning
it had not been long since the lynching
took place, as the body was not then

While lynch law is not approved there
is a general sentiment among the peo-
pie, white and colored that the poisoner
deserved death
At least a thousand people viewed the
body before the coroner had it taken
down for the inquest.
This is the first lynching that has taken
place here since Parker was lynched
for killing General Bryan Grimes.

the jail there last night, battered down
the doors and took the prisoner carrying
him back near Washington, where he
was swung to a limb. The movements
of the lynchers were very quiet and seem
to have been well planned.
