BIRDS NECESSARY TO LIFE
Without Them, II Is Declared, the Hu-
man Race Would Be Unable
to Exist.

Do you want to know the one thing
that can be worse than the European
war? John Davey, big brother to the
birds and tree physician, Kent, Ohio s
arbiter Of lawn and stream, has found
out what it is.
Mr.. Davey tells an audience each
night at the West side Y. Nj. c. A.:
Human life depends upon vegeta-
ton. We would all starve If vegeta-
ton ceased for year. But vegeta-
ton depends upon the birds, who pro-
tect it from destruction by insects.
Human life, therefore. depends
upon the birds. All insectivorouS
birds in this country are decreasing
ten per cent each year. Unless we
start at once to increase their mum,
Der, to protect them and kill their
enemies, within a decade will occur
the disaster to humanity which have
spoken ola catastrophe horror more
awful than the European war"
Decrease in the insectivorous birds
said Mr. Davey, is due to destruction
of forests, depriving birds of retreats
from storms and cold, and the enmity
of the English sparrow, which, he
said, increases almost as fast as the
ton-measured progeny Of the cankel
worm.-New York World.

IDOL IS A PUZZLE
Carving at copan, Honduras,
Mystery to Scientists.
Evidently Intended to Represent e'e-
plant, But Strange Thing 10
Where the Sculptor Could
Have Got His Model.

Where did the prehistoric inhabit-
ants of Central America get their idea
of an elephant as modelled in an elab-
orately-carved idol at Copan? For
there never were any elephants IN
America. Dr. c. Elliott Smith OF the
University of Manchester, England,
writes to Nature that this is certainly
a picture of an Indian elephant.
1T is equally clear" writes Pro
lessor Smith, that the sculptor OF the
monument was not familiar with the
actual animal. for, according to Doc
tors Maudslay and Seller, he has mis-
taken the eye for the nostril, and the
auditory meatus for the eye, and rep
resented the tusk mote its relation to
the lower lip and the ventral surface
of the trunk in a conventionaliZed
manner, without any adequate realiza-
ton of the true nature OF the features
he was modelling.
Having converted the auditory
meatus into an eye the sculptor had
to deal with the auditory pima, the
meaning Of which no doubt was puz-
Zle To him. He solved these diffi-
culties by converting it into a geo.
metrical pattern, which, however, he
was careful to restrict TO the area. oc-
cupied by the relatively small pima
that is distinctive of the Indian spe-
cies of elephant.
THE designer also lost his bearings
when he came to deal with the tur.
baned rider of the elephant. No doubt
in the original model the riders leg
was obscured by the pima; but in the
Copan sculpture he has lost his trunk
also.
"All these features go to prove quite
conclusively that the sculpture repre-
sents an elephants head, and that =
was not modelled from the real crea
ture In other words, the craftsman
was copying an earlier model (presum
ably made by some immigrant from
Asia without understanding thu
points of the elephant"

CANADk'S PLANS

Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circa-

firms, or individuals engaged In aors-

and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents
barrel in the customs duty on appiea-
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds OF oils.
II will be noticed that this TAXATION
is being applied in such way that h
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through .
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid ous

DOGS AND CATS UNDER FIRE
Domestic Animals Are Affected DIFF.
ferently by the Noises Insep-
arabic TO Warfare.

Bombardments affect different AMI
mails in differnt ways. Dogs, as a
rule. show great distress when shells
burst near them and howl piteously.
On the other hand, they have been
known to dash along the front Of
trench during infantry fire, barking
and apparently enjoying the noise.
Cats do not care whether they are
shelled or "machined" as long as they
have dry corner and food when they
are hungry.
There have been instances Of lost
dogs and cats actually venturing into
the British trenches during an en-
gagement. Some of them lived in
cottages near the firing line-long
since destroyed-and chung TO the
remnants OF their homes; others
strayed a long distance. A monde
script dog, with an Armentieres ad-
dress on his collar, turned up near
Wytschaete early one morning, spent

A Westcountry yeomanry contin-
gent was adopted in the thick of a
fight near Fortuin in May by black
cat, which survived bombardment
that killed many men. and has since
lived sumptuously in billets with an
Identification disk around its neck.
