THE EYESIGHT OF BIRDS.
Vision From High Altitude Much
Kecner Than Mans.

Naturalsts recently in speaking Of
the habits and customs Of birds OF
prey have thrown additional light
upon The questions as to how far
such fowls are guided by the sense Of
smell or Of sight in their search for
food.
When VIC take into account the
fact ttat they discover freshly-killed
game as quickly as putrefying flesh.
and that the currents OF air between
them and the earth would sweep
away all scent, It appears altogether
likely that they rely upon sight alone.
The birds vision from a high altitude
Is keener than mans who by unaided
eye has his sight often obscured by
fogs. dust and the reflection OF the
suns rays nom the earth. and the
use Of field glasses give him but lit
tie aid.
A naturalist says. after the kill
ing OF large game the hunter often
is caused to wonder at the sudden
appearance OF vultLres and other
rapacious birds. where none were
seen before They are seen dashing
down glcns and sailing in circles
around his quarry
some sweep within few yards OF
him, others are soaring at higher ele-
vations, and even AZ such vast heights
the huge bearded vulture appears
only as a small speck in the blue
sky. but gradually II becomes more
Chstinct as its wide Eyrations increase.
II may gather itself up and close
wings or dash hundreds OF feet. and
the next minute is seen sitting on a
iutting rock or tree nearby.-North

Profit In Economics May Be Obtained From
 Germans, Says Belgian

The Hague, Netherlands, Sept. 21.- An earnest warming in regard to the proposed economic war against the Central Powers is published here from the Belgian side, where such a strug- gle would necessarily have far-reach- ing consequences that tend to be over looked It comes from Trans van Cauwelaert, the Flemish leader and member of the Belgian Chamber, who writes:
 The German people will assuredly not have unlearned it's spirit of TO- bust industry through this war.
