BIRDS THAT NEST
IN THIS VICINITY
THE RED TAILED hAW

the RED TAILED hAM
Some people have better reputation
than they deserve: others deserve q
better reputation than they have. The
red tailed hawk belongs to the lat
ter class. He il often called the
chicken hawk" and accused Of being
an enemy Of the farmers hens, and
we must confess that this reputation is
not altogether unfounded. He has been
seen more times than one pursuing
these fowls. This reputation led the
United States department OF agricul-
ture to send specialists to make study
OF his habits; and these, after long and
careful investigation, decided that he
was not nearly as bad as he had been
pictured. He does take chicken Oc-
casionally, but by far the greater part
furious Quadrupeds, such as gophers,
moles and the like. The good that he
does in this way far out balances the
injury OF taking an occasional chicken
when other food supply runs short. In
some places a bounty has been set on
his head. but it would be more to the
point IL he was put in the list of pro-
tected birds. II that is too much to
expect then the farmer will do we'll
to shoot at him only when he sees him
in pursuit of chicken
The favorite nesting places for this
species is In the deep woods as Iar
from the haunts of man as possible
The nests are large and bulky, though
shallow. Sticks and twigs mixed to-
Eether form the material OF which the
nest is composed, while grass, moss and
a few feathers are used for lining. It
IL said that sometimes deserted
crow S nest is fitted up and used. Cases
have been known where owls and these
hawks have occupied the same nest
dl,rinR the same season. The usual
height of the nest from the ground is
between 80 and 70 feet. Two OF three
eggs are the usual number, though &C
casionally four may be found. The
eggs vary much both in size and IN
markings, some are white or blulsh
white. while others are heavily blotch-
ed and splashed with many shades OF
red or brown.

LITTLE KNOWN OF HEREDITY
Much Talk on the Subject, But World
Still Awaits Satisfactory
Explanation.

There are few subjects on which so
much scientific" nonsense is talked
and written as on heredity. Not very
much is known of it as regards
plants. less of animals. and almost
nothing as regards humanity. writes
II. Fielding-Hall in the Atlargic To
read books on heredity, especially
those of the Eugene society, is to read
mass of suppositions and hazardous
inductions where most of the facts
are negative. and only the exceptions
are positive. The very meaning or
hereditary" is not understood. If any
quality is truly hereditary. then it is
always hereditary. 1t never occurs
except as the results of heredity, and
it is constant, that is to say, it in
variably follows But there is no
quality of which this can be said.
That genius is not hereditary is
known Even talent is not. Nor is
any aptitude A lawyers son more
often wants to be soldier or all art
ist than lawyer, notwithstanding the
environment, and it is so with most
professions. The exceptions seem to
be due to training and influence, not
to any hereditary transmission. A
superficial likenessato parents seems
hereditary, but that is all that we can
assert. and that outward likeness by
no means infers an inward likeness.
There is nothing to attribute to Ilered-
ity what is due to training or want OF
training. 1t excuses supineness IN
governments and professions.

PAID FOR WITH HUMAN LIFE
Mans Many conquests in Various
Fields Of Struggle Have Always
Been Costly.

1t would be difficult to decide in
what field of struggle the indomitable
soul of man finds its freest express
sion Of the courage that is in it. In
every age the spirit of adventure has
spurred men to the point of holding
life very lightly, where high achieve
ment was possible. In the expert
mental stage of the submarine and
the areoplane hundreds of lives have
been sacrificed; but every loss has
brought success one step nearer than
before. And the world has always
been willing to pay for its triumphs.
In aviation hundreds have persisted
in Attempts at iong-distance fight, and
now we have the news of the wonder
full achievement of Brindejonc De
Moulinais, a French aeronaut who,
on July 2, completed an aerial
st. Petersburg and back, being the
longest voyage thus far recorded
This conqueror of the air is a mere
lad of twenty-one Part of the time
he was travelling at 10 miles an hour,
and for short distance he attained
speed Of 140 miles per hour
Travelling at a great height over the
Baltic sea, he was seriously confused
by mistaking group Of islands for
dancing and vanishing clouds, but his
nerve of steel kept him from losing
his head, which doubtless is the rea-
son why SO many aeronauts suddenly
go to pieces" and perish. His won
derful adventure will doubtless stimu-
late others to still more daring at
tempts, involving new sacrifice of lives
laid on the altar of aerial conquest.

W0MEN'S BANK MEETS WANT
London Institution, Run BY and For
the One Sex, Has Proved
Success.

The possibilities of banking as a
career for women have been demon
stl'ated by Farrow's Bank for Women,
which was inaugurated a couple of
years ago in London, and which, man
aged entirely by women, proved so
successful that it was recently moved
to new and enlarged quarters.
The banks success, in the opinion
of Mrs. Kate Reilly. the manager, is
largely due to the hearty support it
has received from women.
1.-THE eagerness with which women
Of all classes and from all parts Of
the empire took IN the idea of an in
stitution devoted entirely to their
needs was in itself proof that Far
rows novel departure was fulfilling a
long-felt want" Mrs Reilly said.
"Our bank gives women the privi-
lege of consulting one Of their own
sex about their business affairs.
THE business transacted here is
the same as that transacted by any
other joint stock bank, and the fact
that all our staff consists of women Is
good evidence that one sex is not
more gifted than the other in accu'
racy and a head for figures.
"A feature of our establishment
here is a rendezvous room for our
clients, where they can meet their
friends and write letters"

BEST OF PURIFYING AGENTS
Charcoal and Quicklime Are Natures
Remedy-How to Get Most Last
ing Results.

Charcoal and quicklime are the best
known purifiers. The best plan for
utilizing charcoal in the food closet
or in the cellar bins where fruits or
vegetables are kept is to suspend il
in a net bag Any coarse open net
will do. Make number of bags sui
ficiently large to hold several large
Jumps of charcoal. Do not powder the
charcoal, but fill the bags with the
Jumps, and after they have had an op-
portunity to display their marvellous
power to absorb all sorts of bad smells
and mustineSs, and leave the atmos-
phere pure and sweet, their usefulness
will not be over. Remember that the
power of charcoal to serve its puri-
flying purposes is proportioned to its
freshness, and the freshening process
is restored by heating At least once
a week take the charcoal bags down,
empty them in a fire pot kept for the
purpose and heat the charcoal very
hot. The freshened Jumps may hen
be restored to the net bags and serve
a new period of usefulness.
Boxes of lime and jars of plaster
are very effective in absorbing damp
ness, but their useful properties are
not fully secured unless these disin-
fecting and purifying absorbents can
be placed in the best form to be effec-
tive and easily handled. In the form
of pad with the layers of lime or
plaster or a combination of each even
ly distributed, their absorbent quail
ties will Be more than doubled.
