Aigrette Plumes: The White Badge
of Cruelty.

No form of feather adornment has
been and is more harmful in its eff
fects than the wearing of 'aigrettes"
or herons' plumes. These dainty,
graceful feathers, unlike the dis
torted skin of some poor humming
bird or warbler, carry with them no
suggestion of death, and many a
woman on whose bonnet they are
placed is wholly ignorant of the I'M
speakable cruelty the taking of these
feathers entails If each plume could
tell its own sad history, every humane
woman in the land would raise her
voice in protest against fashion
which threatens with eXtinc-
tion one of the most beautiful of an
innate creatures.
Aigrette plumes constitute the
wedding dress of the several species
of white herons or egrets, and are
worn only during the nesting season.
The birds are exceedingly sociable
in disposition and, when breeding
gather in colonies or roOkeries, often
containing hundreds of pairs.
The plume hunter, armed prefer
ably with a small rife, shoots the
parent birds as they return with food
for their young The bird falls, the
slight report of the rifle does not
alarm others that soon follow, and
within a few days most of the parents
have been killed, while the nestlings,
lacking their care, dies of starvation.
The method is simple-any boy
with a gun can become a plume hum
ter-but so effective that at the pres
ent rate of destruction the herOns will
soon succumb to it. A Florida plume
hunter once told the writer that with
two or three assistants he had killed
800 egrets in one afternoon; another
boosted that he and his party had
killed 10000 birds, mostly plume
birds. during one season.
Having practically exterminated
the egrets in Florida, plume hunters
have turned their attention to other
parts of the birds range; advertising
in local papers, offering large prices
to native hunters. and organizing eX-
petitions to explore the coasts and
inland marshes, from our southern
boundaries to the Argentine Republic
To prevent the killing Og birds
throughout this great region is OBJ
viously impossible, and laws which
alone prohibit their destruction are
valueless. Until, therefore. laws are
passed forbidding the wearing of al
grettes, the salvation of the herons
rests solely in woman's hands.
Can any humane woman, knowing
these facts, wear in her bonnet this
White Badge of Cruelty-undeniable
evidence of her approval of merciless
slaughter and indescribable suffer
ing?-Frank NJ. Chapman in Oul
Dub Animals.

TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR BULL FIGHTERS

A bullfighting academy has been
opened at FL Toreo ring by Diego
Prieto "Cuatro DedOs.' There are
more than twenty young men en-
rolled in the school and they all ex-
pect to rival Gaona and Sgura. 1t is
thought that the establishment of a
school will provide better training
for the native talent, so that the
Spaniards will not be the only people
to furnish stars for the bullring.-

thousand persons saw Jean Savage, an
amateur aeronaut ascend from the beach

He did not cut loose until he was 900

The balloon, relieved Of his weight,
turned over and shot down into the sea,
where it was picked up by a launch.
Savage. in his efforts to land safely,
swung his parachute at dangerous angles.
and at times the spectators held their
breath as a particularly strong breeze
impelled him. He finally landed In the
breakers, releasing his hold on the para
chute. which was caught in the tide and
carried out to sea and sunk before a
launch could reach it.
