though we must all beware Of the folly

It is no impossible dream to build up q

without subordination of the things Of

loss of those virilc qualities without which
no love of peace or Justice shall avail any
race; in which the fullest development OF

their study of birds. they

This phase of the subject is fully
covered in Victor Lougheed's 'vehi-

the author declares, there are GER
tain broad deductions to be made at
the outset. Perhaps the most i'm
prcssive of these is the evident fact
that there is more than one way and
more than one type Of mechanism
that can be made to serve the pur-
pose.
There are the common Tapping
