HOME TALENT CONCERT
IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED

A fitting tribute to the splendidly
rounded-up array of home talent was
the turn out of Langdon people on
Monday evening to listen to what had
been styled on the program as a
Tournament of Song In this ar.
ray of the city's musical talent along
vocal lines was included between sixty
and seventy voices, which of itself
shows what Langdon could do in the
formation of festival or something
along the lines of an oratorio. The
suggestion is worth pausing to think
over after the acknowledged treat of
Monday evening.
The Tournament of Song" COM
prising soloists, quartettes and full
choruses rendered numbers that
called forth encores proIonging the
programs length beyond the hour
when it was expected the curtain
would fall. The performance was
given under the auspices of the Lang
don Womans club, who announce that
the net receipts of upwards $1OO
will make the first payment on
new piano that will be purchased for
the city schools. Those who were
largely instrumental in the success
which attended the event were Mes.
danes Ober and Balm, who had
charge respectively of the vocal
and instrumental features of the
tournament. Judge F. w. Bleakley
was the m usical director while the
numbers rendered by the Lorraine
orchestra did a generous part to en-
liven the whole affair.

Tail of the Ptarmiaan.

One of the most entertaining of chap
ters in natural history is that which
relates to the many curious means that
birds and certain animals possess Of
deceiving the eyes of their enemies
Attention may be called to the follow
ing remarkable instance:
When the ptarmigan puts OH it's Win
ter dress it has black tail. One might
suppose that this would attract atten-
ton to the bird crouching on the snow
but, in fact, it serves for cOncealment.
Every projection on a snow field casts
a dark shadow, and that is what the
like, the body of the bird resembling a
mere hump on the white background.
Blottina Paper Like Swamp.
In describing how blotting paper alb

says: Under the microscope blotting
paper when absorbing ink resembles,
on a small scale, a marsh matted with
shrubs, sticks and twigs, round which
water is flowing. So the ink runs
about among the fbers that together
form the spongy paper
There is a limit to the amount of
liquid that a blotter will absorb, as
there is a limit to the amount Of wa
