Birds have very acute vision, per,
haps the most acute of any creature
and the sense is also more widely diff.
fused over the retina than is the case
with man. Consequently a bird can
see sideways as well as objects in front
of it. A bird sees, showing great un'
easiness in consequence, hawk long
before it is visible to man. So, too,
fowls and pigeons find minute scraps
of food, distinguishing them from
what appear to us exactly similar
pieces of earth or gravel.
Young chickens are also able to find
their own food, knowing its position
and how distant it is, as soon as they
are Matched, whereas child only very
gradually learns either to see or to
understand the distance of objects
Several birds, apparently the young of
all those that nest on the ground, can
see quite well directly they come out
of the shell, but the young Of birds that
nest in trees or on rocks are born blind
and have to be fed.-Chambers Jour

WINDOW CLEANERS.


Working In slSyscrapers Is Hard on
Nerves and StOmachs.
"The reason that we are always ad-
vertising for window cleaners" said
the foreman of n company that en-
ploys 200 men in this business, sis that
SO many men throw up their jobs after
they have been at it a week or so.
| Some Of them even do not last so long
as that. A window cleaner can make
as good wages as mechanic or mo-
torman. The work is steady because
nearly all the window cleaning in New
York's big buildings is done by con-
| tract.
ANY number Of likely young fellows
really in need of work who promise
well enough at the start give out with
in a few days. Sometimes it is their
nerves that go back on them, but more
often 1t is their stomachs. We send
away half the men who apply for jobs
without even giving them trial. If a
man drinks or is so nervous that he has
to dodge trolley cars he should keep out
of this business.
when we take man on trial the
foreman breaks him in gradually. We
don't put him on skyscraper job right
away. A great many private houses in
this city have their windows cleaned
by contract, and we start him in on
that. If man is no good at ladder
work it is no use bothering with him.
From private houses the beginner is
sent to department stores and finally to
the tall buildings. Once in awhile we
find a man who can start in on sky
scraper jobs right away without any
trouble.
"'Don't look down. Look up all the
time is the constant admonition Of the
foreman. Not one man in ten is able
to obey that order. The temptation to
look down is irresistible. If a. man
can't break himself of the looking
down habit it is all up with him. He is
sure to come around sooner or later
and give up his job. New York Press.

race with the wagging tongue of
scandal. Accompanied by her young
hopeful, woman was calling on a
friend who happened to live in one of

THE great objection to living in a
row of houses" remarked the hostess,

SAFE OPENING TOOLS.

eve have tools for opening Safes"
said the foreman Of the machine room
of a safe factory that no burglar
could initiate even if he got them. But
it would be one of the most difficult
things in the world for him to get even
sight of them. The, tool room is
guarded as closely as bank vault. A
Waterman stays in it all night. We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must give bonds and have the
best of references The chance of a
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose Of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about.
VERY frequently we have hurry calls
for a man to open safe where the
time clock has gone aslIew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company it is an essen
tial thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send a
man out he takes wagon load of tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
ing the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble Is. He carries
a photograph of himself with our ere
dentials on it. Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter how
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberies have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
"To mechanics in our business it is
laughable to read that full kit Of bur-
glars tools has been found beside
safe. AS have said, it would require
an express wagon to carry them, and
burglars don't work that way. If they
care to take chances by blowing up a
safe with dynamite it is another mat
ter; but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks
are all spotted and are afraid to go out
and buy the material for them. Some
of them send their wives and children"

ant was in the vicinity. Doctor Hub
bard made desperate effort to locate
her. Dragging himself from his
couch, the Z expiring scientist dug
feverisnly at the point where the
blind soldiers were entering the
ground. His labors were rewarded.
In a few moments Doctor Schwarz,
W no had gone to fetch water, return
ed, and the dying naturalist, feebly
holding a queen many hundred
times the normal size of the white
ant, gasped:
See, Schwarz, at last, the queen
of the Termes fiavipes.'
1T was his final message to the
world. Enthusiasm like that,
which not even the approach of
death could subdue, is simply an il
lustration of the kind of service
scientists are giving the Govern
ment," said the head of one of the
departments at Washington.
Doctor Howard says that if some
accident had set Doctor Hubbard
down in the midst of the Sahara,
his whole thought would have been
not how he might escape, but rather
what exceptional fortune had thus
placed him in region whose fauna
had not been fully studied.

THE LATE HENRY G. HUB
BARD.
Story of this Great EntOmolO-
gist's Discovery of the Queen
White Ant.

A recent number of the Saturday
Evening Post contains an interest
ing article on Insect Friends and
Foes" by Harold Bolce. A portion
of the article will have particular in
terest to the people of Crescent City
for it deals with an event in the life
of former distinguished citizen of
our town, whose death occurred at
his beautiful home in this place sew
eral years ago.
1t will be remembered that during
his last illness Prof. Hubbard went
to Arizona in the belief that he
might stay the inroads of the di-
sease with which he had been strick-
en-. 1t was then that his great dis
covery was made, For many years
previous to his death Mr.. Hubbard
was an assistant professor of ento-
mology in the Smithsonian Institute,
and of such value were his numerous
discoveries and contributions to this
branch of science that it was freely
stated that had he lived he would
now have been one of the most
talked of scientists of the day.
The following is the story of his
great discovery:
Current investigation of the habits
of the white ant in the Philippines
and elsewhere, with Il view to check
ing the widespread ravages of that
insect, calls attention to the great
service rendered by one of the assist
ants in Doctor Towards department
in discovering the queen ant of this
species, q marvellous creature that
laws 81, 900 eggs day. This discov-
cry was made by the late DR.. Henry
G. Hubbard, Yale man, and is one
of the most striking facts in recent
chronological research. For ages
scientists had searched for the fe-
male of the white ant (Termes fla
vipes), or termites as they are gen
orally called, the insect that builds
immense clay citadels in many
lands, from which colonies issue to
work extensive damage upon build
inps, libraries, the contents of ware
houses and other valuables. The fe-
male or queen ant is now known to
live in inaccessible chambers at
great depth. Year after year ant
hills were demolished and the con-
tiguous region eXeavated, but no one
succeeded in discovering u queen.
Crafty instinct had prompted her to
search out hiding-place inaccessl-
BILE to enemies. Entomologlsts
throughout the world eagerly con.
tinued search for this exclusive and
prolific queen. The discovery was
to be Doctor Hubbard's.
THE DISCOVERY OF THE HIDDEN
QUEEN.
In the midst of his fine scientific
achievements he was unhapplly
stricken with consumption, and in
search of health went to the arid
regions of Arizona. He was accom-
panied by Professor f. A. Schwarz,
his lifelong friend and fellow-ento-
mologist. The journey was in vain.
AS Doctor Hubbard lay dying he
saw near the door of bis tent caval-
cade of soldier and worker ants max
ing hurried trips TO certain point
AS the workers and soldiers of this
family (which though called ants are
not really ants at all, but of the or
der of Neuroptera and allied to
the dragon and May fiies) are totally
blind, Doctor Hubbard knew that
their straight and swift trips were
controlled by some dominating ext
gency, 6nspecting that the queen

Mrs. Russell and Tom will spend

drive across the country through the

good the trip can easily be made in
day. For over 20 miles of the way
the traveller will see no human being
or habitation, and the chances are
that not above a half dozen people
will be met in the whole distance.

and when night overlook them they
found themselves but a short distance
from their starting point OF the morn

Next morning they started again,

they arrived safely at Ormond. They
will spend two weeks on the beach.

YELLOWSTONE CANYON.
At First Its Bigness and BarbRriC
Color Are OverpOwerInR.

Color Are OverpOwerins.
Imagine, if you can-but you never
cana mighty cleft in the level earth
a third of mile wide, its Drinks sharp,
precipitous, reaching over 1000 feet
downward, sometimes almost perpen-
dicular sometimes banked with huge
heaps of talus or buttressed with spin
ding pinnacles and towers often sur
mounted with eagle nests, and ali
painted, glowing with the richest color
vast patches of yellow and orange.
streakings of red and blue, with here
towering abutment of red and there
another all of yellow. At the bottom
flows the cleaning green river, and at
the top the dark green forest reaches
to the canyon edge, and sometimes
even rugged and gnarled pines, the van
guard of the wood, venture over the
precipice to find footing on some ledge
or to hang, half dislodged, with angular,
dead arms reaching out into the mighty
| depths, resting place for soaring
eagle or hawk. The sides of the can
yon being not of solid rock, but of
crumbling, soft formation, have fur
nished plastic material for the sculp-
turing of water and wind, which have
fooled them into a thousand fantastic
forms. Ones eye traces out gigantic
castles, huge dog forms, bird forms, IT,
tanic faces--all adding to the awful i'm
pressiveness of the place.
For miles the canyon stretches north
ward from the lower falls. From
numerous well guarded outlooks the
spectator, grasping hard upon the rail
ing lest the dizziness of these heights
unnerve him, may behold a hundred
varied views of the grandeur, looking
either toward the falls, which seem to
! fill the canyon end like splendid white
column of marble, or off to the north
ward, where the stupendous gorge
widens out, loses some of its coloring,
admits more of the forest and finally
disappears among rugged mountains.
Everywhere the view is one that
places the seal of awed silence upon the
lips. 1t never pals, never grows old.
One soon sees all too much of geyser
and paint pot; of this, never. At first
the sensation of savage immensely is
so overpowering that the spectator
gathers only a confused sense of big
ness and barbaric color, but when he
has made the perilous descent to the
canyon bottom below the falls, when
he has seen the wonder from every
point of view, he begins to grasp a
larger part of the whole scene, to form
picture which will remain with him.

Never Touched the scotchmsn.

1t is related of the late Shirley
Brooks that he had at one time very
favorite pig who, alas, went the way of
all pigs and was converted into bacon.
Brooks sent some of the delicacy to a
friend, with note as follows:
"His end was peace, and l send you
a piece of his end"
The joke was related to Scotch
man, who laughed very heartily and
shortly afterward having occasion to
kill pig of his own sent some to rel
alive, with the remark, His end was
peace, and l send you a piece of the
pig" And he wondered why nobody
saw the joke.-London King.
