the various types of gun.

This prevalence in the use of firearms
among owners of river craft is due to a
great extent. 1t is thought, to the infiu-

the Virginia hills and Maryland meadows
One of the notable results of this tend

Several years ago this club was organ

His Keen Sight Due to Knowing What
TO Look For.
The scientists are always delving
into the mysteries Of nature. many
times on lines that the average man
never thinks Of Here. for example. is
that question of the keen eyeslght Of
the savage. We have all heard how
much keener his eyes are than those
of civilized men, and we have accept
ed the statement as a fact without
stopping to think how and why 1t liz
true. But q party OF scientists from
Cambridge, England. who have been
on an anthropological expedition to the
Torres strait, tell Us as a result Of
their Investigations that the keen
sight Of the native is due to his know
ing what to look for.
They found that members OF their
party could see and distinguish objects
as far as the natives could after they
had become familiar with the sur
roundings. A queer illustration of this
principle Is given in the western In

Elephants and White Ants.

Some American engineers. in con-
structng a power transmission line in
India, had several things to consider
and avoid that had never confronted
them before perhaps. The line. which
was nearly hundred miles in length,
was carried on tall poles through the
jungle. and in constructing it the raw
ages OF white ants and the playful
pranks Of wild elephants had to be pro-
vided against That sounds amusing
but the engineers found it serious
problem. The ants attacked the first
poles set and fairly riddled them. and
the elephants reached up with their
trunks and tore down the wires. So
iron sockets seven feet in height were
used to set the poles in, which circum-
vented the ants. and after careful
measurement of the highest reach of
an elephants trunk the poles were
made tall enough to keep the wires out
of the way.

They who talk glibly Of short-term

that in Scotland one-year marriage,
termed a handfasting, was once legal
and fairly common. 1t was abandoned
on account OF its injustice to the wo-
man.

this one-year marriage, making Sir
Julian Avenal say:

their pleasure, may call the priest to

handfasting. 1t was, indeed, more
often practiced among the great than
the lowly. But the poor girl whose
