will pass similar law l shall be more

is permitted only in a few of the towns.

The Island Birdtrap.

sTHE Island of Helgoland. in the
North sea, is a triangular rock of
perhaps a hundred acres. but there is
perhaps no spot of equal size on the
earth's surface that is of more inter-
est to the ornithologist. Nearly every
one on the island is born student of
birds. The fight and note of every
bird are familiar to the islanders. A
new bird Is instantly detected. The
fisherman steers with a gun by his
side and the peasant digs his potatoes
with a gun on the turf.
Every bird that appears Is whistled
within range with marvellous skill.
The common sorts are eaten. the rare
ones sold to the bird-stuffer and the
new ones taken to the ornithologists.
The autumnal migration Is a specta-
Gle that ornithologists from all over
the world are wont to attend. On one
such occasion a distinguished bird stu
dent was awakened at half-past IL in
the morning with the news that the
migration had already begun. Hastily
dressing himself, he at once made for
the lighthouse. The night was almost
pitch dark. but the town was astir. In
every street men with large lanterns
and q sort of anglers landing net were
making for the lighthouse.
There an interesting sight presented
itself The whole zone of light within
range of the mirrors was alive with
birds coming and going. Nothing else
was visible in the darkness of the
night. but the lantern of the lighthouse
vignetted in a drifting sea of birds.
From the darkness in the east clouds
of birds were emerging in an uninter
rupted stream.
No one could guess how many hun
dreds of thousands of birds passed in
a couple of hours. but the stray birds
which the lighthouse keeper succeeded
in securing. as they nuttered against
three hundred. The night was starless
and the town invisible, but tho island
looked like the outskirts of we'll
lighted city. being sprinkled over with
the lanterns. Many larks alighted on
the ground to rest and allowed the
islanders to pass their nets over them.
On some nights as many as fifteen
thousand skylarks have been taken on
the island.

AMERICANS PIONEERS i'm CON-
STRUCTTON OF SUBMARINES

I'm HE submarine, which has proved
its efficiency in the present war,
q is the realization of very old
idea in war and the development OF ex-
periments that date back several CEN
turtles There are writers on the sub
ject of the submarine who believe that
the thought of submersible boats, or at
least of submersibie engines of war
which could make an underwater at
tack on the enemy's galleys. was in the
mind of Alexander the Great. These
things are usually not profitable or en-
tightening subjects of study, because
into the thoughts of men without num-
Der have come dreams of inventions
and methods OF war. but without the
glimmer of idea as to how such
things might be brought into being.
Any man who would consult the bib
biography of the submarine could pre-
pare a long list of experiments with
underwater boats and underwater
torpedoes. but experiments which we're
abortive and utterly unsatisfactory. II
is said that the first subma rine of any
practical promise was that constructed
by Dutchman named Drebbel for
James ! in 1924. but this was not sue
cess when tried out On the Thames.
During the American revolution Da-
vid Bushnell. an American, built the
first submarine of any value 1t was
operated by hand and was used 10 make
an attack upon an English vessel Off
Long Island The submarine reached
the side of the British ship under wa
TER. but was unable TO attach the tor
pedo 10 the vessel. David Bushnell
lived in Ssybrook Conn. His subma-
rine was called the Turtle, by reason of
her shape. She was perfected in 1775
and in the summer of l77s, commanded
by Sergt- Ezra Lee of the continental
army. the Turtle essayed an attack on
the British squadron under Admiral
Howe. lying in New York bay below
the Narrows The frigate Eagle was
singled out. The Turtle got under the
Eagle. but for various reasons the
charge of gunpowder could not be at
tached to the hull.
The torpedo, the torpedo boat and the
underwater boat played sensational
parts In the American civil war. A
writer in the Charleston News and
Courier says:
There is no question of the fact that
the submarine was first successfully
used factor in naval warfare dur
ing the federal blockade Of Charleston
harbor 1t is absolutely true that the
Confederate inventors and gallant Con-
federate sailors and soldiers first
demonstrated, though sacrificing the
lives of crew after crew. the terrific
power OF the submerged craft and the
marine torpedo. The exploits of the
David in Charleston harbor. and of the
Hundley diver in blowing up the United
States steamship Housatonic of Breach
Inlet, in 1864. may fairly be cited as
having inaugurated the method of un-
der sea fighting"
Several boats similar to the David
were built by the Confederates and
they were generally called Davids The
