WORTHY KIN TO VULTURES
Prussian Characteristics Very Like
Those Of the Obscene Scavengers
of the Earth.

In Bombay and other centers Of
the Parsee faith there are no burials,
only liberations. When a Parsee dies
his body is ca ried to the Towers OF
Silence. These white walls rise from
the crest Of high hill. Seen from a
distance, they. are surmounted al
ways by a funereal and fretted and
uneasy fringe, composed of waiting
vultures whose office it is to feed
upon human flesh.
These vultures are gifted with ex-
traordinary eyes. They can see
further than almost any other bird
and when they rise and circle in
ghoulish preparation, the watcher
knows they think some funeral is
about to furnish their repulsive sus-
tenance.
In the silhouette they resemble
eagles. They have the wings and
claws and beaks of eagles but kind
of leprOus nudity has left them bare
and ulcerous downward from the
crown TO the pompous plumage of
the gorge. No doubt they estimate
themselves as veritable eagles; and
as far as egotism and bad odor and
quarantine can isolate, they are i'm
perial.
In human history the Prussian
vultures are of their variety{ With
straining sight they have beenI known

BRIGHT CAREER CUT SHORT.

Following a quick advancement,
and after being in France NOT quite
a month, Ensign Lloyd A. Perry of
the United States naval force has
met his death in a seaplane accident.
HIS record in the navy is an example
Of how rapidly an ambitious and en-
ergetlc young man can come 10 the
front. Perry was a native of Wiscon-
sin, where he was born in 1895 After
service as a seaman, second class he
was appointed an ensign in the naval
reserve force on January II, 1918,
while on duty at the naval air sta
tlon, Pensacola, Fla. At the time
of his appointment he was a citizen
of Massachusetts. On January %
he was designated a naval aviator
and on February was detached
from duty at the Pensacola st,kon
and ordered to temporary duty at the
bureau Of navigation, navy depart-
ment, Washington, and then to Eng
land, for ultimate duty with the ma
val aviation forces in France. On
March ~, 1918, he was ordered to
the station in France, where he was
serving at the time of his death,
which occurred April 10.

POSTWAR SPORTS.

1t is considered by many authori-
ties that Americas mobilization of q
large army will have the effect of
raising the standard of postwar
athletics to an important degree. A
material boom in the popularity of
sports of all kinds is expected as a
natural outgrowth of the intensive
physical training that is being made
part of every soldiers daily life
Amateur sports, it is felt, will bene-
fit chiefly, but the effect in profes.
slonal realms also is expected to be
material. The contention seems to
be thoroughly justified so long as it
is confined to generalities. The eff
feet to be expected in connection
with college sports, however. is adj
mittedly open to debate.-Popular

@IPE OUT CRIMIEAL RECORDS
many Conviots Have Won High Hon.
ors Serving With the British
Army Fighting the Huns.

Crime has decreased greatly since
the war broke out, the reason being
that a considerable proportion of
men belonging to the professional
criminal classes have been absorbed
into the army. Many of them, too,
have done well in it.
One convict, a Liverpool man,
with a score OF more convictions to
his "credit," has won the Victoria
cross for one of the most conspicu-
Gus acts of gallantry on record, and
has since died for his country. 9th
ers, promoted on the field for brav-
cry, have attained to noncommis-
stoned, and even, in some instances,
commissioned rank.
The past history of practically all
men of this type is known to the
heads of the criminal record office
at Scotland Yard, but these never
pass on their information to the mil
itary authorities. To do so would
be manifestly unfair to men who,
whatever their past faults may have
been, are now doing their best for
their country, and, incidentally, try
ing to make good on their own ac-
count. There is, however, one ex-
ception, and the rule in this con-
nection is hard and fast one. No
man of known criminal antecedents
is allowed to serve in the Royal
Army Medical corps, or, generally
speaking, in any of the other de-
partmental corps.-London Tit-Bits.

EVERY SHELL COUNTED.

Most people, probably think that
thelgunners simply blaze away until
they see ithe ammunition running
low, then lask, Oliver-Twist-like, for
more. Therelnever was,a more mis-
taken idea.,
A practically exact account of the
number oftrounds of all calibers ex-
pended Abe given. The harassed
ammunitionS clerk has by no means
a"cushy" job. On him devolves the
responsibility of accounting for ev-
cry shell, cartridge, fuse and tube
that lis sent up to his battery. His
totals are checked daily, and if
there lis a discrepancy of as much
as oneN shell he will be sure to hear
about it.
The makers of defective ammu-
nitionI can be traced if the defect
showsStself on this side of the lines.

COKE AND COAL SHORTAGE.

. Seventy per cent more coke than
ever before will be available this
year to help solve the fuel shortage.
according to Electrical Review
This supply will be further in
creased by the development of tar.
coke-oyen gas and other by-products
newly dignifed in wartime as avail
able fuels. Pulverized coal to at
tam the greatest efficiency is also a
subject that is interesting fuel men
Just now. Some of the advantages
OF pulverized coal are: The utiliz-
ing in every heat unit in the coal;
the reduction of labor for handling
coal; and the maintenance of a con-

.ifACTS ABOUT BlkDS' FLIGHT
Soaring Ability Depends on Spread Of
Wing as Related to Weight
4 Of the Body.

The soaring fight of birds, with
out Tapping the wings, is directly
dependent upon the spread of wing
as related to the weight of the body.
1t has been found that the soaring
ability of various birds is at the fol.
lowing speeds: Swallows, 9 to II
feet per second; herons, 12 to IA
feet per second; cranes, Is to II
feet; silver gulls, 16 to 1S feet ;
albatross, the greatest soarer of all,
90 to 23 feet per second.
The number of strokes of the
wing, or flaps, has also been studied
and recorded, showing the following
number per second: Fly, $50; hum
mingbird, 210; bee, 100; wasp, 10 /;
sparrow, 13; wild duck, 8; house
pigeon, 8; mouse buzzard, 3.
II has been ascertained by careful
observation that swarms of butter
flies progress at the rate of from 35
Ito 80 feet per second. When flying
quietly around a room a fly covers
from 4 feet to 90 feet per second,
but if pursued may fly as fast as
Ij3 feet a second. A bat averages
sIbout 80 feet a second, and a flying
f ish covers 81 feet second.-Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
