According to the accounts Of the
dealers IN wild animals. the d0ma-ti.
gray parrot IS likely in course of uml
to become a rare bird In this country
The effect viii not De felt Immediately

FIELD GLASSES FOR ARMY.
An Accessory That Is as Necessary
as Any other Part Of the
Equipment.

A French military journal has been
pointing out that one Of the principal
requisites for a well equipped officer
Is a powerful pair Of field glasses In
these days of long range guns and
smokeless powder there cannot be two
opinions. says a London Globe writer,
as to the value Of an accessory which
will enable a general TO see without
icing seen himself or exposing his
troops to the view Of the opposing
forces.
The lesson taught MS by the Beers
and the japanese in recent campaigns
seems to be: Use all your art in find
ing out-in seeing, in a w0rd-the
movements OF the enemy, while re-
naming yourself invisible, and one Of
the most useful aids in this direction
IS a powerful pair of field glasses. Ac-
c0rding 10 the journal / have referred
TO the French officer and non-commis-
stoned officer are expected TO provide
their own field glasses with the result
that In most cases they are OF inferior
quality and the officers judgment on
them usually IS: Il can see as well
with my own eyes" But II the war
Office realized the value OF the field
glass in war It would be reckoned as
indispensable as the service revolver,
and like that weapon would be pur-
chased wholesale by the government
and sold 10 officers at cost price, pay
able in instalments.
switzerland, We are reminded, long
ago discovered the value of the field
glass; the Swiss artillery non-commis-
stoned officers have always had good
glasses These are now about TO be
taken from them and given 10 the IN
fantry officers, and in their place more
powerful glasses will be supplied TO
the artillery.
