pArRlDees IN CAPTIVITY.
The Success Of Prof. Hodges Experl.
msnts In Massachusetts.


DIR. Clifton f. Hodge, professor Of
biology at Clark University. is having
remarkable success in his efforts to-
ward domesticating the rutfed grouse,
CT partridge. The latest achievement
is the raising of a second generation
of the birds while they are in captiy-
ity, flve strong healthy birds having
been hatched two weeks ago by the
mother partridge.
More could scarcely be desired than
to have a pair mate and produce thelg
young in the back yard OF a city home.
so far as is known the birds have acted
exactly the same as their brothers
in tie woods, even to the curious act
sf drumming They are just as large
as those in the woods and are lively
and contented. One of the old male
birds seems to be especially delighted
when Or. Hodge enters the enclosure
in which they are kept and plays with
the bird as one would with mis- pet
cat In no other case, so far as is
known, has this species been anywhere
near so perfectly domesticated.
DR. Hodge began these experiments
In the spring OF 1903, when he obtain
ed some partridge eggs from ths woods
and hatched them out under 4 bantam
hen. At the time he was laughed at
for trying it, But after the chicks
were matched out, and 1t was seen that
they were being raised, member OF
the Massachusetts Fish anr Game Pro-
tective Association who resides in
Worcester reported the affair TO a
meeting OF the directors, which then
voted 5000 to be given to DR.. Hodge
In aid OF his experiments.
He is using It in enlarglng his en-
closures with view to aiding such
work as the association is doing, es-
pecialy by eventually setting the blrds
tree in the covers of the State and
perhaps in our city parks. DR.. Hodges
purpose in the experiments, so far as
his own work is concerned, is more
especially to study scientifically the
biological relations of the species
its foods. habits, and instincts and
the possibilities Of its domestication.--

OUR BLIND SPOT.

4 Portion Of Every Eye 10 Absolutely
Insensible to Light.
On the back of the eyeball is a pecul-
lar expansion Of the fibers Of the optic
nerve which is called the retina. Ev.
cry part of this is not equally sensitive
to the action Of light A small portion,
where the organization is most perfect,
Is called from it's color the yellow spot.
This is only one six-thousandth Of
an inch in diameter. yet 1t produces
the most perfect sensation Of vision.
A little nearer to the nose is another
spot. which. though full Of fibers of the
optic nerve, is absolutely insensible to
light and is therefore called the blind"
spot. This can be easily proved by
putting two big dots three inches apart
on a piece of paper. closing the right
eye and looking at the left hand dot
and moving the paper toward you till
the left hand dot disappears.
Helmholtz in his lecture tells us that
''this blind spot is SO large that 1t might
prevent our seeing eleven moons II
placed side by side. or mans face at
distance Of only six or seven feet"
and that "Mariotte. who discovered
the. phenomenon, amused Charles IL.
and his court by showing them how
they. might see each other with their
