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 APP
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
orfice 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
ly dry wood is unknown, for the heat
needed to obtain it would dissolve the
wood and convert it into gas and
charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the character
istics of wood believes that u sufii-
GENTLY powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell is composed of crystals like
grains Of sugar on 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 it's 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

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 presentn-
tion of facts, for logical arrangement.
But it is possible, so 1T has been
unkindly suggested, that they do not
always remember that neither of these
important productions was written by
Philadelphia. But to anyone who
may make suggestion it may with
justice be said that the "Auto-
biography" of Franklin. one of the
few great photographers Of the
world, was written by a Philadelphian,
and also his Poor Richard" and other
world-famous works.

To Get Rid of Paint Stains.

Paint spilled ON doorstep Is most
and is often rather difficult
to remove. In that case make strong
solution of potash and wash the step,
leaving the solution to soak in. In
short time the paint will become soft
and can be washed off with soap and
water. Then use cold water. Paint
which has been left on for some time
will yield to this treatment.

For his work he was awarded the Dis

Should America demand the return

There is no such thing as pull

25-YEAR-OLD DEBT
PAID ENGLISH TOWN
BY FOE OF SPOONERS
Money Sent Abroad by Filming
Squire to Be Used in Re-
pairing Roads

Robert Thomas, the "fning squire"
and foe Of spooners, has made repara
tion to the small town in England from
which he Is alleged to have absconded
with the public funds more than twenty
five years ago.
This was made known when 1t was
learned today from England that his
stepdaughter, Julia Mortimer Babb, had
forwarded a draft for S760.S5 to cover
the shortage in his accounts in Gull
lompton, county Of Devonshire, Eng
land.
The actual shortage was $3.50. Squire
Thomas, who was then known as John
Pring Jacobs. was assistant overseer OF
the poor and rate collector. and, ac-
cording to the charge in n warrant held
for his arrest in England, absconded
with the $3.50.
Word from Cullompton says that the
funds are greatly needed at the present
time. the village treasury being depleted
after the various war activities. and the
fund probably will be used TO improve
the roads. ~
Neither Squire Thomas, his s6p-
daughter, nor Chief of Police HALLS
sey. associated with the squire in his
Havprford activities, would comment on
the case.
The squire comes up for re- election
in the fall.
