MARVELLOUS SIGHT OF GULLS
Test Made by Naturalist Showed
They Have Almost Incredible
Power of Vision.

The remarkably keen sight Of the
seagull was put to an interesting test
not long ago by a well-known Ameri-
can naturalist. A score of gulls were
following in the wake of a steamer
making twenty miles an hour. The
birds kept up with the boat without
making any apparent effort to do so.
The naturalist referred to and friend
were watching the graceful move
ments of the birds.
Breaking a cracker biscuit into four
parts, less than an inch square each,
the naturalist handed one piece to his
friends and told him to drop it into the
seething waters on the starboard.
Immediately the biscuit became in
visible to human eyes, and yet before
it had gone thirty yards astern a gull
detected it, and, dipping into the foam,
secured it. One by one it picked up
the other bits of biscuit, though nei-
Their of the two men could see them.
Tearing off a postage stamp from
an old envelope, the naturalist dropped
it overheard. The gull detected the
waif and made as if to pick it up. But
when within a yard or so of it the
bird saw that it was nothing in his
line, and glided upward again to his
favorite station on line with the top
most truck.

COSTLY FLOWER LIVES ON AIR
It's Not the Orchids Board Bill That
Makes Aristoeratlc Bloom SO
Expensive.

Aristocrats Of the flower kingdom
and probably the least understood.
You hear them called parasites, which
is only one of the common mistakes
made about the orchid. You see hun
dred different shapes and dozen diff
ferent colors grouped together. each
shape, perhaps, distinct family and
each with a separate name.
In the first place, orchids are not
parasites. A parasitical plant is one
which gets nourishment from another
plant. Certain orchids live on trees,
but they get their food and drink from
the air by means of aerial roots. We
call them epiphytes. other orchids
gets their nourishment directly from
the ground. They are called terrestrial
orchids.
People don't understand, either, why
orchids cost so much. They fail to
see why tiny plant is sold for-say
$1,000. If they realized that rare or
chids may have cost a long trip into
a tropical Jungle to obtain, and that
1t takes from eight to ten years to
raise a plant from the seed, with pa
tient care and treatment, they could
see why these flowers remain in the
aristocratic class.
Only the orchid grower can under
stand all the details of his art, but
the flower lover can easily learn to
distinguish the various types.

Different Kinds of Bread.

A crust Of bread is usually regarded
in this country as the last stopping
place on this side of starvation. For
e4gners like crusts, Americans do not;
therefore the foreigners buy hearth
bread, which is baked on the floor OF
the oven, and which consequently has
a heavy crust all over it, whereas we
buy the pan loaf, which has a good
crust only on top. That is one rea-
son why our immigrants have better
teeth than native Americans, although
they take less care of them and spend
less money on them. Not only TO they
buy better bread, but they keep it
longer. They have learned what we
have still to discover: that bread fresh
from the oven is unfit to eat.-Youth's
Companion.

The Tobacco Shop Indian.

Early in the use Of tobacco in Eng
land the figure of a blaekamoor was
adopted as a sign for the shops where
tobacco was sold. The same figure
was used in this country for the same
purpose for a number of years, es-
pecially in the southern cities. Then
followed the manufacture OF Indian
signs by a wood-carver, who carried on
his business in Baltimore. Little by
little the Indian superseded the black
amoor, and gradually became the rec
ognized sign of the old tobacco shop.
At the time of the Hudson-Fulton cele-
bration in New York tobacco COM
pany here made an exhaustive inves-
tigation of the tobaccoshop Indian and
his origin, but no more definite in
formation than that given above was
obtained.

Chateau of Pierrefonds.

The feudal stronghold of Pierrefonds
(it is nine miles from COmpiegne by
road is famous as a model Of modern
restoration. The building is rectangu-
lar, with a tower at each corner and at
the center Of each of the walls, which
are strengthened by crenelation and
machOcolation. A lofty keep defends
the principal entrances on the south
west The interior buildings are chief
ly modern, but the exterior is a faith
full representation Of a medieval for
tress. The chateau was begun in the
last decade of the fourteenth century
by Louis d'Orleans, TO whom the do
main was given by Charles VI, and
was finished early in the fifteenth CEN
fury. 1t was subsequently held by the
adherents of the League, from whom it
passed to Henri ". II was dismantled
in 1922. The ruins were bought by
Napoleon !, and it was restored by the
order of Napoleon III 1s5S-lS95.

The First Skater.

The first man or nation to skate is
lost in the minds of antiquity. The
Eskimos Of the farthest North were
found 70 be in possession of runners
carved from whalebone when they
were first discovered. Skating is men,
toned by a Danish historian about
1884, and Fftzstephen, in his History
of London" says that in the twelfth
century young men fastened the leg
bones of animals under their feet by
means OF thongs in order to slide along
the ice. A pair Of these bone skates
is now in the British museum. Lon
doners got the idea from Holland.

Red Glass MIX Bottles.

1t is not at all improbable that milk
will be generally delivered in red bot
ties, for II has been discovered that
while ordinary light hastens the
"spoiling" of milk. the red rays pre-
vent il. The violet rays, on the con-
trary, cause the milk TO turn.
Pure, fresh milk. or sterilized and
pasteurized milk. If placed in an UNI
colored glass bottle and left in the full
sunlight. is completely spoiled by eve
ming. But substitute a red glass bot
tie. or wrap the ordinary bottle In red
paper. and milk Is perfectly good after
standing ten hours IN the sun
