ElYlna Powers Of Birds.

The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions is
extraordinary, and as one listens to
their p1aintive cries coming from the
darkness overhead it is difficult to
realize that in a few hours these same
birds may be within the arctic circle
and a little later may be even cross
ing the pole itself. Less Is
known Of the actual dates of the de-
parture Of the migratory birds in au-
tumn than of those of their arrival
earlier in the year, and this for obvi-
Gus reasons. The way in which our
most charming songsters silently
skulk out of the country in the autumn
is very different from that IN which
they make their triumphal entry in
the spring when every wood and copse
resounds with their melodies. Wind

"sUPEs" ROSE TO OCCASION
Manager Threw Real Money on Stage
and the Mob Scene Became at
Once Realistic

Stage money" that commodity
which has been the butt Of Jokes for
generations, may soon laso its signifi-
canoe if the example jusr set by one
manager is followed generally.
This wise individual is going to put
on a new play very soon and re-
hearsals are now in progress. There is
a mob scene in the play and the hero
at a critical moment throws handful
Of money to the crowd.
When rehearsa1s first began the
stage manager found much difficulty in
getting the necessary ginger" into the
scene, as the supernumeraries did not
show any great enthusiasm in scram-
bling for the coin. They knew it's real
value.
Then a bright idea struck the man
ager. He knew that as thespians get
no salary while rehearsing they are
sometimes hard UP, SO he decided to
mix some real money with the stage
article that Is thrown to the crowd.
The effect was magical. The scram-
bic IS so realistic that the manager is
looking forward anxiously to the first
night to see the effect on the audi
ence. But those who read this will
know the real secret Of the wonderful
acting"

LIFE. THE Uns0LVED RIDDLE
It's Elements Remain Unchanged,
However Man Has JuggIed With
Their Compounds.

Realism? Naturalism? Symbolism?
Materialism m?-fooIisbness, much of it,
without endl Life is and remains
Life, ever old yet ever new, and the
elements of Life likewise remain un-
changed, however audacious man may
juggle with their compounds, mix
them in wrong proportion and; in the
end, even please himself with the
idea that he has kneaded out of his
patent labeled mixture an entirely
new mass of flesh and blood and
soul!
Life! Tkls life of ours that Is con-
ceived in the desires Of the flesh,
born at the command of souls, the
cause OF which lies deep in human
pain or in an Overwhelming surcharge
of human joy-it is tear; and like
a tear it is a prism, through which,
when the bright sun falls upon it. We
may see the elemental colors in all
their beauty, provided we know, in
truth, how to see; but in heavy
weather and devastating storms, such
as surround the majority of mankind,
it becomes clouded, dim, opaque; and,
thus clouded thus opaque, it offers
alas! to a disappointed Humanity the
eternal, unsolved riddle of existence.

Helping Our Town

Every little country village
has all ambition to become a
trade center and a boom city,
with no special natural fea-
lures or geographical advan-
tages. Under such conditions
what is most needed is some
enterprise on the part of its
local capitalists. They must
make the first advance III the
uncertain field of development.
hey must capitalize small
factories and see that they
are kept employed. When the
local buslniss is finally deve-
loped and proves to the world
that they are successful then
outside enterprises will be sure
to step in and enjoy our pros
peritv with you lust like
fellow who finds favorite fish
ing hole and catches fish, and
all the other fishermen who
see that be IS catching will
drop their hooks right by the
side Of the lucky fisherman.
The business of any town
should stop talking and hop
ing for others to do something
for the town. They should get
together themselves and prove
to the world that they have
money making town. No out
slider will want to fish III our

that they can catch fish.

Euesinht Of The Mouse.

How much does a mouse see? To
look al a mouse, one would think that
sight counted for a great deal in it's
life: but experiments go to show that
this Is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing diff
ferent degrees of illumination and diff
ferent co1ors (preferring red and vel
low to blue and green), and they are
quick TO detect movements; but they
have little sense of form and little
binocular vision. Microscopic study
shows that the retina has no rods
and no foYea.'

use OF the microscope in reproducing
the images reflected on the visual or

objects at different distances and even
persons and houses Plants may, he
says, be classed with the inferior ami

have been confirmed by DIR. Nuttall
and Dr. Harold Wagner.
We are still so ignorant of animal,

fancy the plant, like the insect, is not
conscious of what II sees, but that is

theory that they are not conscious.
But that they do see Professor Ha-
berlandt says he has satisfactorily
proved. He has found the same mi

other insects In sycamore leaves, In
