Seventeen Species Of the \
Humming Bird Family Are
Summer Visitors to U. S

It Is said that altogether II spe-
cies Of humming birds are summer Wis.
itors to the United States, and that
one of these, the red hummer, is found
on the Pacific coast as far north as
Alaska. The Brazilian forests are
noted for their many varieties of these
magnificent birds, though a few speci.
mems are of somber colors. In most
species the bill is straight. In few
the bill curves upward at the tip and
in others downward. The length Of
the bill differs greatly, that of "the
sword-bearer" being five inches long,
or longer than the head and body to-
together, while In another it is only
one-fourth of an inch.
Among the most plentiful Of hum
ming birds was one to which the name
ChrysOlampis mosquitus has been
given. This species was once espe-
cially numerous In Brazil. Venezuela
and the Guianas, but skin hunters have
slaughtered them by thousands, the
skins being exported to be used in the
manufacture of ornaments and deco
ratiOns.

Why Birds Prefer North
to Nest Year After Year

1t Is not an easy question to answer.
It has been explained that there are
vague promptings Of instinct derived
from long inheritance; especially the
.'homing instinct" which brings the
robin or the oriole back to the very
same nest year after year. But these
explanations really explain nothing,
says bulletin Of New York state edu-
cation department. This. however, Is
true: The vigorous races Of living be-
ings are the children of the north.
That has been true all through human
history and through all the history Of
life on the earth. The birds early
learned to bring forth their young UNI
der the invigorating surroundings Of
the north, that they might get right
start In life.

New Method Of Applying
Chloroform 0bviates the
Nausea Usually Resulting

A new method of administering
,chloroform has beer brought out In
France by Doctor Guisez. He no long
er applies 1t by the usual compress or
mask placed over the mouth, but in
PRODUCES the chloroform vapor directly
into the lungs through tube running
into the windpipe. The tube method
has already been employed in several
hundred cases and with great sue
cess. Besides being very useful for
operations to be performed on the head
and neck, 1t is of great interest be-
cause It never produces the nausea
which is almost always the result Of
applications of chloroform in the or
binary fashion, and thus the patient Is
relieved of cause of suffering. The
effects of the new method will serve to
explain the reason why chloroform APP
plications always produced nausea
when operating by the former method,
for 1t appears evident that the g.4lsea
was caused by part of the chloro-
form vapors being absorbed by the
esophagus and the stomach. OF course
this is not necessary. for the whole
Of the vapors should go to the lungs,
and This result Is now reached by the
new method. 1t, therefore, marks quite
u progress in the right direction.

Hints for the
Poultry Grower

Young chicks should not be fed for
from "a to 36 hours after Matching. and
Will not suffer II given no food until
the third day. The yolk of the eggs,
which is absorbed by the chick, fur
nishes all the nourishment required
during this time. 1t is this provision
of nature for the first sustenance of
the chick that makes it possible to ship
newly Matched chicks considerable dis
tances.
After feeding Is started 1t Is advls-
able to feed the chick five times a
day, at equal intervals, and alternat-
ing mash of soft feed, such as john
ny cake, with hard grain or scratch

ter Of the mixture Of the eggs. may be
used. Rolled oats may be used In
place of the bread crumbs. Feed this
IN the middle OF the forenoon and aft
ernoon for the first ten days or two
weeks.
when infertiie eggs are not avail
able use double the quantity Of baking
soda, and add half pound of sifted
beef scrap. Infertile eggs are those
which have been tested out from sit
tings or from an incubator.
''Some tender green stuff should be
fed to baby chicks after the first week.
when a regular supply In quantity Is
needed It is usually most convenient
to use sprouted oats"

Illusion Used as a Test
Of Correctness Of Vision

In parlor physics an Illusion Is some
times demonstrated as follows: a
sheet of newspaper Is rolled up to
make a tube three feet long which Is
held In the right hand in front of
the right eye which is focused through
the tube upon some distant object. The
left eye is directed upon the palm Of
the left hand, which Is held against
the tube and near Its peripheral end.
The two eye pictures are fused In the
brain so that the right eye appears
to see its objective through hole In
the left hand. This trick is Of value
In testing the eyes. If the hole is
seen In the middle of the hand binocu-
lar vision is perfect. If seen on the
right side. there is exaggerated con-
vergence; If on the left side there is a
divergence.

group of welfare workers in Paris who

the American expedltiOnary force, or

in the war by the sudden collapse Of
Germany.
Here in France, Comrades in Service
Is beginning It's actual existence as a
series of soldiers clubs, with the men
electing their own officials and taking
large part In forming the program Of
their individual chapters.
General Convention Planned.
Delegates to a general convention, for
instance, to be held in Paris for the
purpose Of completing organization on
large scale, are chosen from the va
rious units scattered through France.
BY the time the convention is called
1t Is the plan to have organization work
completed in all Of the army groups
with the possible exception Of the
army Of occupation along the German
border.
In great many ways the business
of starting Comrades in Service as an
active force In the American army
can be considered as a kind Of recon-
! struction activity. 1t is kind of con-
Meeting link between active service
and return to civilian life.
Incidentally program of education
has been launched here by the army
officers and welfare workers as a step
ping stone toward the time when the
soldier bids the army good-by. Dur
ing the war days the soldiers were con-
F.: cerned principally with training prob

f, to keep abreast of the news of the
day, partly because they had enough
/ to do learning to become soldiers, and
also because they had small Opportu-
nifty to read the daily papers and cur
rent magazines.
| Now that demobllizatiCn looms
ahead as the next big milestone on the
soldiers program he Is acquiring in
, formation on such subjects as 1.-The
League of Nations" universal Mil

tant problems Of the day. All of the
welfare groups-the Y. M. G. A., the

Urged to Inform Themselves.

tions in France, about universal MILL

about these subjects? Are you going
to be able to answer questions fully?"

Fern Family Includes 5000
Species and Many Varieties

According to the latest authority,
the fern family comprises something
like 100 genera. which include about
6,OOO species, with Varieties among the
species practically lnnumerable. OF
all the varieties. however, there are
only about two dozen which are com
monty used for house decoration. and
almost all come from the Nephrolepis
family, of which the popular Boston
fern Is a type. The Boston originated
near Boston. Mass, about % years
ago, and soon came into favor as a
vigorous plant most graceful In APP
pearance, and capable of thriving un-
der conditions found in the ordinary
dwelling. But the most remarkable
thing about 1t Is its sporting pro-
clivities, 1t having, through variation.
produced number of ferns in form
notably different to type, over 30 of
which have been catalogued ccmmer-
cially as distinct varieties.

| able to keep up to the scratch on mat
tiers outside army life. And he agrees
that it is up to him to learn all he can
and tell it to his American friends
when he returns to the United States.
Obvious as it may seem, this idea
Of getting information, Of becoming
acquainted with problems Of the day,
is welcomed by men cooped up in
army camps thinking only Of that day
when they will get back to America.
Sometimes 1t happens that sol
der gets his first definite idea of the
responsibilities he Is to assume as q
citizen, directly from these lectures.
He commences to realize that he Is
scheduled to become an important Ag-
ure in American political affairs. He
appreciates more fully that ne Is
man of broader vision than when he
left America.
He had been too busy training and
travelling to think great deal about
his remote future, during the period Of
war. Now he Is getting his bearings
again. And the welfare men are en-
couraging him to develop his ideas, to
round them out by observation and
reading and by study. And means are
being provided for study. Here in
France the welfare boards are building
up big educational machines.
More than 100000 men, during the
first weeks of the peace conference
In Paris, were enrolled In the hundreds
Of educational classes In the army
camps of France. This work was g0-
ing on all over the country. A list
of the schools would be report ON
| the disposition Of the American troops
In France, because there was some
| kind of school in virtually every camp.
Officers Are instructors.
Army officers-men trained in the va
rious sciences and professions acted
as instructors. 1t was beyond the
abillty of the Y. M. G. A. or any other
welfare organization to provide the
necessary teachers from their own
comparatively small personnels.
So while the American boys waited
patiently for the ships that would
take them back home. they studied by
the hundred thousand. and began their
preparation for return to civilian life
where, IL the ideals of Comrades in
Service are realized. they will still
maintain much Of the fellowship OF
service that helped to defeat Germany.
There are many men in France who
believe Americas great and lasting
benefit from the war will be better
realization of the duty each American
owes to his government and HIS com
munity, of better understanding Of
the ideals of America, and OF wiping
out Of much class prejudice and sec
tionalism. And Comrades in Service.
In addition to being q great after-the-
