which is inclosed within the film OF

making them heavier than Water This
mechanical trick on the part of diving
birds is probably familiar to all who
have watched the kingtisher at close
quarters and have noted the sudden
contraction in the birl,s apparent size
as it takes the plunge. This Is much
more easily observed In the case of
the starting. which sometimes initiates
the kingfisher by plunging into water

apparent size is very apparent when,
after lowering above the surface. 1t
