The depth of o to know.
Where theirs but the surface see,
And not the hearts warm glow.
They do not see the heart concealed
And hid from human sight.
Which is revealed to the twin soul
Who has the inner light,
To see and read the loved ones thoughts,
And sympathy to feel
With his desires and aims Of life.
And all that Is most real.
She knows his motives for each deed,
And judges him Alright;
For she IS ever guided by
Loves clearer, inner light:
She. too, has mercy for his faults,
And leads his soul above
To heights where she will help him soar
BY the sweet power of love.
She knows the snares o. human life,
And knows that there may be
Some faults in every mortal soul;
But through them, learns to see
The sweet and tender sou beneath
The little faults he owns.

The dust of James Smithson, the Eng
lishman who gave his entire fortune to
found the Smithsonian institution at
Washington, will soon be brought to a
final resting place in this country. DIR.
Alexander G. Bell, mi of the regents of
that institution, has offered to bear the
expense of bringing it across the At
lantic, and is now in Genoa for that pur-
pose. 1t is planned to place the remains
IN the grounds of the institution in
Washington, where there is ample room,
and here monuments have been placed
to o James Henry, who first directed
the work; to DR.. Samuel Gross, the
famous physician, and to L. ]. NJ.
Daguerre, the inventor of the earliest
type OF the photograph.
James Smithson, the man who gave his
all to q country he had never even seen,
died in Genoa in 1929. He was buried on
the heights of San Benigno, in q little
British burying ground. For years a
stone quarry operated by the govern
ment has been slowly eating away the

Smithson was a natural son of the
third duke of Northumberland, a grad
uate OF Oxford. and a scientific writer of
distinction. He once said: THE best
blood OF England flows in my veins; on
my fathers side l am a Northumber-
land, on my mothers l am related to
kings, but this avails me not. My name
shall live in the memory of mar when
the titles of the Northumberland and
the Percys are extinct and forgotten"
The circumstances OF his birth caused
him to lead a wandering life, somewhat
embittered by the fact that he could not
take the position in the British aristoc-
racy which his ancestry deserved. He |
inherited his mothers fortune, and did
much work of value along scientific lines,
but, up to the time of his death, he
seemed to have done nothing to make
good his prophecy. Then he drew up

BAR SHOOTING FOR SWANS.
One Method OF Cunning for the Swift
est Flying Birds In the
World.

The true bar-shot, the uncompromis
ing aristocrat Of duck shooters. i
pleased to disdain decoy shooting. Sadl!
he spends morning after morning in thu
box" preferring the memories of an
cient glory and a wild shot or two a
black ducks or swan or geese to the com
paratively fair and easy success OF de
coy work. Perhaps two or three times il
a season, il he keeps at it, there will come
a real taste of the old splendor, says
Country Life in America.
The bar is q very long, narrow spit
of sandy beach and marsh, stretching
out fer a mile between the river and the
bay. The ducks. geese and swan, in trad
ing from the river to the bay and from
the bay to the river, find it easier in most
winds to cross the bar rather than labor
Iiously fly around it. From their height
its so yards of width looks like a mere
ribbon between the broad waters; with
an extra squirt of speed and a few yards
more altitude they swing across and
above with the speed of a tornado.
Crossing as they do in mid fight, with
an acceleration of speed instead of the
slowing up of decoyed birds, the bar
flying gives the task of hitting the most
rapidly moving objects known to the
shooting world. This would not be an
insurmountable obstacle for quick eyes
and steady nerves, but there is one pecu-
liarity of this shooting that makes it at
ono fascinating and maddening to the
best Of shots who have not found the
secret.
Your duck, goose or swan is flying, say
100 miles an hour. He is so yards in the
air when he o Taking the velocity
OF the shot at 1900 feet per second, the
shot will take something like one-seventh
of second to go the sixty yards, and
in that time the great bird will have
rushed through the air a distance OF
about 20 feet. In other words, it your
swan hunter shoots at q point some, 20
feet ahead of the bird, the swan will fly
into the shot.
What the bar-shot really does is to
throw up his big gun Just before the
birds come to be perpendicularly oyer
him, follow thep just to the perpendicu-
lar with gun held on them to get the
line. and then shove the weapon away
ahead of the hurting targets, pulling the
trigger while the gun is moving. How
do this puzzling trick so as to estab-
lish the necessary connection comes to
be IN instructive matter with the elect.

the masters in shooting rise on a swift
rank Of fowl sweeping below the clouds,
md cut a single bird out of the ghostly
overhead! So mighty is the ten
sion of nerves and wing-muscles in these
lights that the struck birds keep far on
their rush even when theoretically
killed, some times for a quarter of a
nile.
