Flying Powers of Birds.

The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions is
extraordinary, and as one listens to
their plaintiye cries coming from the
darkness overhead II is difficult to
realize that in few hours these same
birds may be within the arctic circle
and little later may be even cross
ing the pole itself. Less Is
known OF the actual dates OF the de-
pa ire OF the migratory birds in au-
tItoM 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
Ia very different from that In which
they make their triumphal entry In
the spring when every wood and copse
resounds with their melodies.-Wind-

This wise individual Is going to put

a mob scene in the play and the hero
at a critical moment throws handful
of money to the crowd.
When rehearsals 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 its real
value.
Then a bright idea struck the man.

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-

looking forward anxiously to the first
night to see the effect on the audi
ence. But those who read this will

DANGEROUS COLOR is BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering Of

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
balloon, don't buy a blue one Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches Of NJ. Reyuaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp

ful source of such rays. This fact

With balloon envelopes which are

, 'Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
ccvery that Tie envelopes suffer dur
Ing asceDsions, and this is explained
BY the greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led TO using yellow color
ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. NJ. Reynaud con-
s.ders that red is the best color to
use. rs it not only absorbs the ultra
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely TO share in the
