witnesses have been taken in writing
and signed before the trial begins.
Each of the judges has copy Of these
before him. The prosecutor and the
counsel for the accused furnish . the
court list of the witnesses they de

The first thing that happens when

In Italy. us in most of continental Ecu

The accused Is allowed the widest

TRAINING THE HAWK.
A Feeding Lesson Given by an Old
Bird to its ioun9.

Bird to Its ioung.
While fishing In remote and wild
mart of Scotland a British naturalist
rbanced 70 witness an entertaining per-
formanc, in the form of a feeding les-
son piven by an old hawk to Its young.
A cry of young hawk TO its parent
was heard. and the naturalist soon To-
Gated three young peregrine falcons
sitting side by side on shelf Of rock
overhanging the lake in which he was
fishing Presently the old bird came
into view. like Il dot out OF the SKY,
and made straight for her vociferous
young.
She poised high above the shelf on
which they were sitting and to the
surprise of the watcher dropped the
bird she was carrying. She had so
chosen her position that the bird clear
ed the rock as it fell toward the lake.
Instantly youngster No. dashed off
the cliff. Evidently this was not its
first lesson. for it buried itself into
beautiful swoop and actually caught
the prey before it reached the water.
The youngster was not allowed to
enjoy it. however. for down came the
old bird and with the utmost grace
snatched it from the young ones grasp
and ascended in rapid rings to the
height of several hundred feet. The
discounted youngster with some diff
ficulty returned to the rocky shelf.
The old hawk repeated this maneu-
yer. dropping the prey this time in
front of No. 2
The young all knew their lesson, for
neither No nor No. ventured to
stir. 1t was No. who started in puT-
suit and. like its brother or sister,
succeeded in interrupting the falling
prey before it reached the water.
Tine old hawk did as before. snatch
ing the Prey from her offspring. Ris-
ing high in the air. she this time drop
ped it before No. 3. who in turn caught
it. Eut No. 3 was not allowed to pos
sess the prize. The old hawk now as
cended to the shelf beside the young
ones. tore the prey TO pieces and pro-
ceeded to divide it equally among her
hungry anl eXpectant progeny.-Har-
