manner Of fight OF birds.

IS the conclusion. now generally in
dorsed, that. as whole. the bird world
IS cot to be regarded rs perfect in its
attainment OF fight. For instance. II
IS contcndcd by the best authorities
that all birds obliged continually to
aar their winsS-and in this category
lay bc mentioned SparrowS. fincEeS.
thrushcs. crows. ctc.-are still in :n
impc-fcct stage Of advancement.
In the next class. rs being degree
advanced. are put such birds as ps-
ceonS. swallows. etc, which are able
TO dar. ahead for space after they
havc gained good start by the viSor-
ous tapping of their pinionS.
In the third class the birds that may
be said to be perfec, .iiers are the
eagles. cultures. alba.rosses and sim
liar biz birds possessing the abii!t: to
rise and fall and sway and soaf in the

IN our last number. as We dIscor-

this announcement with some inccedu-

Il Gets The Criminals.

According to the Chinese method OF
criminal prosecution. man IS respon-
sible for the crime he may have COM
uoitted personally. but II he chooses 70
escape justice by running away rom
the place where the deed was commit
ted then the remaiains members OF his
immediate family are held and pun
tshed in lieu OF the real culprit- This
NAV seem = strange way Of attracting
the rea! criminal baci; to the scene Of
his crime, but it appeals to the reii-
rions side OF the mans superstitious
nature. According to their religion. the
man who forsakes his parents when II
peril Will End his soul sailing around
through hades without chart or COM
PASS for all eternity. In view OF this
compliance with the Law IS very prompt
