LANGUAGE USED IN SPORTING

Much OF the language used In vari-

middle ages. Different kinds of

suished by their own particular epi-
thet, which was supposed to be in
some manner descriptive of the habits
If the animals. To use the wrong

would-be sportsman to ridicule.
Many of these terms have passed
away. but some Of them are still re-

Is still good usage today. A pride"

Some persons will tell You that cats

see In the dark. but some animals can
see with a great deal less light than
others. lust as some cameras will take
a picture with less light than others.
You open or close the lens in camera

else you speed up the shutter or slow

The human eye does this automat.

tracts according to the amount Of light

expand or contract the pupils OF their
eyes at pleasure. Just as you open or
