WELL EQUIPPED BY NATURE
Simple Explanation Of Remarkable
Sense of Hearing That Is Pos
sessed by the Owl.

1t is held by naturalists that in
order to capture its prey the owl
must depend even more upon its sense
of hearing than upon its sense of
sight. The tufts of feathers hat dis
tinguish the short-eared and the long
cared owls are, of course, no more
ears than they are horns. The rue
cal of the owl is a most remarkable
organ.
The facial disk of feathers that
gives the owl its characteristic APP
pearance serves as a kind of sound
ing-board or ~ear-trumpet to concen-
trate the slightest sounds and to trans,
init them to the orifice of the true
ear, concealed in the small feathers
behind the eye. Even in the barn
owl, which possesses the least COM
plicated arrangement of this kind, the
orifice of the ear is covered by a re-
markable flap of the skin, while in the
other species there are striking diff
ferences in the size and shape of this
orifce and its covering flap on the two
sides of the head.
The exact way in which owls utilize
this deliberately specialized apparatus
has still to be discovered.

How Bird Flights Are Observed.

In spite of their difficult and exact
ing task, a few airmen have found OPP
portunity to observe and record the
height at which various migrating
birds are accustomed to fly. Thus,
from French soldiers of the air 1t Is
learned that swallows have been OBJ
served to maintain an average alti-
tude of 700 yards, and wild ducks one
of 1880 yards. and that green plovers
have been seen at a height of 2,150
yards. Incidentally it may be men
toned that the ducks were moving at
a speed of 65h miles an hour when
flying upward and SO miles an hour
when flying horizontally. Another
aviator when flying at $500 feet saw
swallows high above him. And anoth-
err, who made his observations at a
height of 5000 feet during a heavy
bombardment, with antiaircraft shells
bursting all about him, says that he
saw 200 golden plovers, perhaps driven
higher than usual by the fact that the
vicinity was an unpleasant belt to
cross.

Water In Wood.

All wood contains more or less wa
ter; even the driest wood known o n
tains two or three pounds of water to
every 100 pounds of weight. Absolute
ly dry wood is unknown, for the heat
needed to obtain it would dissolve the
wood and convert 1t into gas and
charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the character
istics of wood believes that a sufi-
GENTLY powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell is composed of crystals like
grains of sugar or salt and that thin
films of water hold the crystals apart,
yet bind them into a mass.
A good microscope shows the wood
cell and reveals its spiral bandages
and its openings and cavities, but no
instrument yet made reveals the ulti-
mate crystals that, as many believe.
do exist and that would explain why
water annot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood Itself

Justice to Franklin.

Philadelphians love to set forth the
fact that there were written two of
the most notable literary achievements
of the world, the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution Of the
United States. both of them remark
able for fine literary quality, for pre-
cision of statement, for lucid %presenta-
ton of facts, for logical arrangement.
But 1t is possible, so 1t has been
unkindly suggested. that they do not
always remember that neither of these
important productions was written by
a Philadelphia. But to anyone who
may make a suggestion 1t may with
justice be said that the Auto
biography" of Franklin, one of the
few great photographs of the
world, was written by n Philadelphia,
and also his poor Richard" and other
w~orld-famous works.

the IL alternate red and white stripes,
representing the United Colonies, in
a blue canton, which was raised on
Prospect hill, Cambridge, on the first
day of January, 1776, has never been
satisfactorily determined. 1t is com
monty thought that the continental
congress appointed George Washing
ton, George Ross and Robert Morris
a committee, authorized to design a
suitable flag for the nation and that
they called upon Mrs. Ross, who was
conducting an upholstery business on
Arch street in Philadelphia. The con-
hrmation of this report is not to be
found In the Journal of Congress.
There seems to be little doubt that
the American flag is a growth rather
than a creation. Few of the writer's
have declared that 10Th the stars and
the stripes were derived from the coat
of arms of Washington's family, which
contains both devices, but beyond
that c%oincident no other evidence has
been produced to prove this.
Made Official Emblem.
On June ID, 1777, the American con-
gress in session at Philadelphia adopt
ed h following resolution:
Resolved, That the flag of the ID
United States be ID stripes, alternate
red and white, that the Union be 10
stars, white in a blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
The credit of making the first flag
is given to Betsy Ross. William ].
Candy, a grandson Of Mrs. Ross, de-
clared hat Betsy Ross was shown a
rough drawing of the flag, which was
explained by General Washington. She
objected to the six-pointed stars, and
suggested that they be five-pointed.
Genera Washington Is supposed to
have redrawn the sketch, changing
the stars to five points. At FIRST Wash
ington declared that five-pointed stars
woul be hard to make, but Mrs. Ross
demonstrated that by I'M clip of her
scissors she was able to make a per-
feet five-point star.
In 1912, the United States congress
admitted Arizona and New Mexico into
the Union and the stars then num-
bered 4S. The law did not provide
how the stars were t be arranged,
md for a long time a considerable d.
versity existed in this respect. How
ever, on October 20 Of that year, the
proportion was definitely fixed and
the manner In which the stars were
to be placed was determined. Since
that time the same rule has held good,
that of six rows Of eight stars each.

laratlon of Independence. Danzig was
separated from Poland and 81 years
later Prussia gained possession of it.
Again made a free city by Napoleon,
it passed once more to Poland; then
back to Prussia in 1914.
Danzig became the capital of West
Prussia. Government and private
docks were located there. Shipbuild-
ing and the making of munitions were
introduced and amber. beer and liquors
were other products. Its granaries,
built on an island, were erected when
it was the principal grain shipping
port for Poland and Silesia.
Danzig is a little farther by rail
