MYSTERY SOLVED

LONDON, March 4.--By the capture
or q real luminous owl" In Norfolk
one phase OF curious puzzle In nat
pral history that has caused some ex-
element In that county has been
solved. II has been proved. at any
rate, that the mysterious glowing OBJ
jects that have been seen haunting
the countryside ato night were owls
that had somehow acquired luminous
property.
One OF these luminous owls has been
caught In a garden, where II got EN-
tangled In a grapevine. and soon aft
erward died. Its phosphorescent glow
died with II.
This strange attribute OF the bird
of night still awaits satisfactory
and scientific explanation; but one
feasible theory about IL Ii that II Is
an outward symptom of disease
from which owls suffer through their
habit OF roosting inside hollow, decay
ing trees. and thus perhaps getting
some OF the phosphorescence OF the
'decaying wood transferred TO their
feathers.
The specimen caught was evidently
not healthy, for 1t fiuttered about help
