Bald.Headed EauIe.

The bald-headed eagle Is a sea-eagle
selected MS the national emblem of the
United States. It's markings are famil-
lar, though the term "bald" IS to be
referred, net to the absence OF feath-
ers. but TO the effect produced by the
white feathers on the head. In size. It
corresponds nearly to the golden eagle
whose length Is about three feet and
extent of wing seven feet. The bald
headed eagle lives mainly upon the
FISH which 1t seizes along the seashore
and around lakes and rivers. The nest
is built on high treetop or upon Il
rocky cliff. The eagle is used as an
emblem on coins of the value of a quar-.
ter and above. The gold coin Of the
United States valued at $40 Is called
an eagle. There are also half eagles
and double eagles.

upon a cabbage leaf; the eggs hatch
into green caterpillars and these eat

its eggs in the body Of the caterpillar.

100 Birds Owned In Lawrence, Mass,

Troy, July 15.-More than 100 car
rier pigeons, all owned by members Of
the Lawrence Pigeon Association Of
Lawrence, Mass. we're released at the
Troy Union Station this morning to
participate in a prize competition
race, which is being promoted in Law
renee. The birds we're owned by
more than twenty-five Lawrence resi-
dents and were sent to Troy satur-
day afternoon. 1t was planned to
hold the race yesterday, but owing to
the inclement weather wire was re-
ceived by the express authorities to
hold the flyers until this morning.
The birds were released at TAO
O'clock this morning and despite the
fact that 1t is between 2S0 and 300
miles to Lawrence they were sched-
uled to arrive there in about three
hours. Hundreds of people watched
the pigeons start their long journey.
All were let out of the cages at the
came time. They scared high into the
air, and after circllng over the sta
tion several times started toward the
east The flyers were out OF sight
within three minutes time.

The Wars Calls on the Newspaper
Forces.

Forces.
II is sometimes said, and. quite fire.
quently, enormously, that war is a
powerful agency to build up news
papers. The casual observer passes
the remark that a newspapers circu.
lation must be booming when people
are 30 anxious to get the news that
they cannot wait to borrow their
neiehbors papers bnt so and buy
their own. II Is true that the excite.
ment OF war does cause people TO be
more eager to get the news and. fire.
quently, does cause an increase in cir.
culation figures for the time-being at
least. To that extent a paper is built
up. But there are other agencies at
work which are calculated to tear
down IN much the same proportion as
the war builds up in circulation. The
drain OF great war depletes the
ranks Of the workers in newspaper
plant just as much rs many other in.
