THE KEEN SIGHTED GULL

THERE is perhaps no other bird, of land
or sea, SO keen of sight as the common
gull. To convince skeptical friend of this,
an American naturalist once made some in
teresting experiments.
The two men were passengers on a steamer
where the spring ebb aided them to run
twenty miles an hour. A dozen gulls fol-
lowed them in the steamers wake, without
apparent effort, and circled in graceful
curves over the water
Breaking a cracker biscuit into four parts,
less than an inch square each, the naturalist
handed one piece to his friend, and told him
to drop it into the seething waters on the
starboard.
Immediately the bit of biscuit became in
visible to human eyes, and yet before it had
gone thirty yards astern gull detected it.,
and, dipping into the foam, secured it. One
by one it picked up the other bits of biscuit,
though neither of the two men could see
them.
Tearing off postage stamp from an old
envelop, the naturalist dropped it over
board. The gull detected the waif and made
as if to pick it up. But when within a
yard or so of it the bird saw that it was
nothing in his line, and glided upward again
to his favorite station on line with the top
most truck.

When the magazine publishers were max
ing the fight against the increase OF the rate
on second class mail at the close of the
Sixtv-first Congress, delegation represent

number of Senators to interest them against
the proposed increase. They were armed
with various statements and kilograms,
among them a despatch from William ].
Bryan protesting against the increase. They
opened the discussion with Senator Bailey
by reading the Bryan telegram. The effect

(By Robert Compton,

Washington, d. C., Feb. 2O.-Be'
hind the proposed trip OF Secretary
OF STATE Knox to Central America
Is the biggest commercial move oil
the century. While President TAFT
has given it out that his secretary
OF state will go ito cement closer
diplomatic relations" with our neigh
bors in Latin America, it is tact
that the real purpose of the trip is
to learn the ways and means OF cap
turing the bulk of that immense
trade that now goes to Europe. In,
asmuch as diplomacy and commerce
walk hand in hand, Mr.. Knox will
attempt to apply the principles of
his dollar diplomacy" to a situ-
alton that has long been source
OF deep concern to American busl-
ness interests.
Since the awakening of this new
era of Commercial America our
manufacturers have realized that def
mite and persistent efforts must be
made TO divert the South American
trade from England and Germany,
our most formidable competitors, to
the United States. Our business
men are hungry for it, but Europe
gets ii. Millions of money flow back
end forth annually between the coun-
tiles of Europe and Latin America
in import and export trade, and hard

the United States a real factor il
the deal 1t is lamentable fact
that today drafts on South American
merchants from this country return
by way of London and Hamburg, in.
stead of being exchanged through
American banks. Whether this is due
TO lack of faith in our systems and
methods or not, it is one phase OF
the commercial situation in need OF
correction.
The building Of the Panama Canal,
a $500, 100000 investment, is anoth-
er reason for the Knox effort to tie
Us closer commercially to South
America If this is not done, mel-
chants and manufacturers Of our A.
