PERFECT AND IMPERFECT filters

IT is fact that those ingenious and daring
: minds that devote themselves to the solu-
ton of the problem of aviation have Gwen no
small part of their preliminary study to con-
sidering the manner of fight of birds.
A strange result of this investigation is the
conclusion, now generally Endorsed, that as d
whole the bird world is not to be regarded as
perfect in its attainment of fight. For in
stance, it is contended by the best authorities
that all birds obliged continually to flap their
wings-ald III this category may be mentioned
sparrows finches, thrushes crows. etc.-are
still in an imperfect stage of advancement
In the next class, as being degree adj
vanced, are put such birds as pigeons swallows,
etc, which are able to dart ahead for space
after they have gained good start by the
vigorous Tapping of their pinions
In the third class, the birds that may be said
to be perfect fiers, the eagles, vultures,
albatrosses, and similar big birds possessing
the ability to rise, and fall and sway. and soar
in the air indefinitely without a perceptible
movement of their wings. 1t is, of course,
known to every person of an observant turn
that these big fowl are able to soar into the air
gradually until at last they disappear from the
eye of the watcher. its being almost impossible
to detect any movement beyond a slight occa-
sional motion Of the tail.

door, rubbing my bites, and wondering how

heard little rustling in bushy tree that grew
near the house. Everything was new to me,
and l wanted to shoot at least one Of every
thing saw got up, took my little bird gun,
went and sat under the tree, and watched and
listened. Little green parrakeets are as plent-
full there sparrows are here.
After l had looked up until my neck and
mouth ached, away up, near the top of the
tree, saw something green move. thought
it was a parrakeet. and l wanted some OF its
feathers to send home. So l blazed away.

ease due likewise to microbes of one kind or
another which, feeding the food materials,
give them a bad smell and flavor. Such prod
ucts afford an attractive diet for bacteria and
molds and on that account they should always
be kept carefully covered. Moldy cheese IS
an annoyance that is familiar to every house
wife
Preserves, as every good housekeeper knows
by sad experience. are often attacked and
spoiled by molds. 1t IS to keep out such germs
that she covers her jars carefully with air
tight layer of paraffin. If they get at the con-
tents they will not only make them uninviting
to the eve. but will destroy their flavor. 1t is
best. therefore to keep preserves, also butter
and cheese in dry and cool place, where micro
organisms are least plentiful.
Danger in Canned Fruits
CANNED foods are likewise subject to dis
- ease. The filled cans, otter being sealed
are subjected to high heat in order to kill any
germs they may contain; but if few microbes
remain alive, they are likely to multiply in
great numbers. feeding the food substance
and incidentally developing gas that causes
the cans to bulge.-a most undesirable and
dangerous symptom.
When it comes to fruits, 1t is a fact obvious
enough that they are particularly liable to dis
ease. In the ordinary course of nature an apple
banana ought to dry up, and not decay.
Now and then this IS what does actually hap
pen but in most instances bacteria or fungus
germs attack them, obtaining entrance through
breaks in the skin, and, feeding on the vegetable
tissue cause rot The called bitter rot of
apples which gives them extremely bitter
taste, is attributable to fungus. One impor-
tant reason for spraying trees in the orchard
with germicidal solutions is to prevent the de-
velopment of such microbes. Often they attack
fruits while the latter still unripe and hang
ing on trees A familiar disease of the Bart
lett pear is caused by microbes that find their
way into the interior and begin work at the
core: SO that pear with the falrest exterior
NAV be rotten inside.
The popular notion is that the normal stages
of the development of fruit are represented by
the terms unripe, overripe and decayed; but,
said, it is not correct. The decay is due to dis
ease. If the germs that cause it were excluded,
the fruit would simply dry up. There other
kinds of microbe which produce warthke ex-
crescences on the outside of apples and other
fruits. But all these mischiefs are avoidable,
and. in order to prevent them, fruits particu-
larly pears and oranges, are commonly wrapped
separately in paper and are kept in dry cool
place
In these days the diseases of food, which used
to be regarded SO puzzling and mysterious,
are we'll understood. and, the microbes that
cause them having been identified, scientific
experts are no longer at loss to know what
means to recommend for their prevention. The
trouble making germs will always continue to
exist in myriads, but with the help of lately
acquired knowledge. their depredatons can be
reduced to a minimum.
