delightful comedy of a husband, wife
and a lover. The wife feels she is
neglected and encourages the attentions
of her lover. The husband discovers the
intrigue and instead of raising a row he

divorce SO that she can marry the lover.
This is not at all what the lady wants for

Pigeons and Chickens Can See What
is Invisible to Man.
1t has been slowly brought to our
understanding that the world is not
the same to all creatures. and probably
no experiments have tended more to
make this clear than those on the
color sense of chickens. pigeons, owls
and kestrels.
Hungry chickens and pigeons were
first kept an hour in bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light. The floor was then spread with
a smooth black cloth. evenly covered
with grains of wheat, a strong spec
trum was thrown on it from the cell
ing and the hungry animals were turn
ed loose They picked the wheat first
from the bright red. then the ultra red.
next the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
violet because they saw nothing; but.
on the other hand, they saw the grains
in the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
This proved that for chickens and
pigeons the spectrum is shortened at
the violet end of short wave length
and extended at the red end of long
wave length This Is the effect one
might expect from wearing orange col
ored glasses and demonstrated that
fowls see through such spectacles in
the form of yellow and orange oil
globules embedded in the light sensi-
tive layer.
To kestrels and buzzards the bright
est zone was the green instead of the
red. the blue being visible. To owls
the colors were as men see them

Three Men Who Won Literary LaureIs
Under Feminine Names.
One of the most famous cases of a
man writer winning fame under wo-
mans name was that of the late Will
liam Sharp, who kept his identity with
"Fiona Macleod close secret during
his life, and it was only after his
death that the public was made
aware that her remarkable novels
were the work of the well known critic
and essayist. Their style seemed so
enthusiastically feminine that even
the most astute critics believed that
they were written by a woman's hand.
Another famous writer, Laurence
Housman, known already as a poet
and artist, made third and most sue
cessful appearance before the public as
a "veiled lady" A remarkable book
appeared entitled n,Englishwoman's
Love Letters" which all the critics
praised and all the clubs and literary
circles talked about Who was this
woman who had laid her heart bare?
The critics agreed that, whoever she
was, she understood her sex to perfec-
ton. The secret was kept very close
for time. and then. to everybody's
immense amaZement. the real author
was revealed as a man after ALL

The notion that salt brings OUT the
flavor of butter is ridiculous. 1t spoils
it. In the gastronomic countries Of
Europe the consumer would no more
allow salt to be put into the butter he
eats than into the cream he puts in his
coffee or the ice cream he takes for his
dessert There is absolutely no excuse
for continuing the barbarous practice
of. denaturing American butter by the
addition of salt 1t does not even help
