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 that dis
tinguish the short-eared and the long
cared owls are, Of course, no more
ears than they are horns. The true
ear of the owl is most remarkable
organ.
The facial disk Of feathers that
gives the owl its characteristic ap'
pearance serves as kind Of sound
ing-board or ear-trumpet to cOncen-
trate the slightest sounds and to trans'
nit 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 re-
markable flap of the skin, while In the
other species there are striking Diff
ferences in the size and shape of this
orifice and it's 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.

Water In Wood.

All wood contains more or less wa:
ter; even the driest wood known con-
tains two or three pounds of water to
every 100 pounds Of weight. Absolute
~ 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 sufti-
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,
vet bind them into q 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 cannot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood ITSELF

Washington, D.

In consequence there has been much newspaper denunciation from both Republican and Democratic sources, so an attempt was recently made to debate for four hours a report from the sub-c committee on ordnance which did not even make a recom- mendation to the House.
 The contention of the Democrats was that the war expenditures smelling" committee had been ap- pointed to make 2 definite report. and that four hours discussion with out action was without precedent and 2 waste of the nations time. As de- scribed by Representative Edward w Pou (Democrat), the report set forth that the sub committee had learned from the War Department that 4,688 claims had been adjusted. 2,1S5 are pending and 2,7OO other claims are under consideration.
