is reclaimed once more.
When night has come the forest echoes
with his hunting cry: Hoo, hoo, hoo-o-o, as
he leaves his day roost with sweep of the
broad wings. Drifting like brown shadow
he slips through the black aisles of the woods.
Not the least swish of feather betrays his
flight. The feathered phantom floats over
an open grassy space.
Suddenly, without the slightest warn
ing, the shadow drops to earth as swiftly as
light. A faint squeal, perhaps a rustic in the
leaves, then silence. A rabbit has paid the
price of the wild. With his talons deep in
the still brown form, the great owl sits over
his prey listening and looking about for a
moment, then starts his feast.
He is still-hunter in every sense of
the word, a scientist, playing the game with
deliberation and untiring patience, then
striking swiftly, accurately. He gives no
quarter and asks none and the toll he takes
from the land is large He should be ex-
terminated for he destroys great amount
of game. But with all that his savage ef-
cheney demands my admiration.
l took the old ruf1ian home with me to
the Jersey coast and he created quite sensa-
ton on the train. In the box he sat and
glared at the faces that stared in at him,
Kissing and swapping while his eyes flashed
fire.
Reaching home Tom and built a cage
to hold our loving pet. With strong chicken
wire, stout posts and frame pieces we made
an enclosure ten feet long, five feet high, and
five feet wide, using the fence by the stable
for one side. We put up little shed in the
corner with roosting pole beneath; then
planted the sawed off tops of couple of
small pines in the enclosure for perches. A
large basin for water, and all was ready for
the owl.
We put the box inside the cage, tore
the. wire off the former, then with pole
pushed old long ears out into his new home.
We had worked hard to make his quarters
as comfortable as possible, but no sign of ap-
probation came from his owlship. He held
himself stiff and aloof, glaring hate and
suspicion from his wonderful yellow eyes,
and we had to push him every inch of the
way into the big cage while he fought the
pole with claws and beak. How gladly
would he have bitten finger half off if we

20 yah," said she. "Aye seen plenty
dos birds in der ole coontry. He ish ugla. "
So Ugla we named him at once
Ugla's disposition seemed to improve
under good treatment as the weeks passed.
The regular diet of meat, chop bones, dead
crows, and black birds and fresh fish along
with no annoyance from any one had its ef-
feet. The first week he sat in the corner of
his cage and glared, hissed, and snapped at
every one coming near him. He would
lower his wings like mad hen, every feather
standing out, his head thrust forward be-
tween his shoulders, swaying to right and
left on his strong legs the while.
But later on he grew accustomed to hui
man visitors of whom he had many and he
began to take captive life more philosophi-
cally. He would swell up and hiss, then

and Paris. Its machines are provided with
every comfort for passengers and have ar
rived at their destinations so far without mis-
haps and on schedule time. The following
account of the personal impressions of trav-
eller making the outward trip from London
to Paris is taken from the Liverpool Journal
of Commerce.
"We arrived at Hounslow Aerodorle
in the comfortable motor car that brings
passengers from any point in London, just
in time to see Captain Baylis transform him
self from the blandest of pleasant, demure-
looking civilians into a ferocious leather
bound, helmeted and goggled air pilot. He
jumped up into his seat on the front of the
biplane, and we stepped quietly into the pas
senger cabin. Passport and customs formal
titles were settled in one-hundredth part of the
time they take on the old route to Paris All
the luggage was slowed in the hold. We
closed the windows, pulled aside the silk
curtains, leaned comfortably back in deep
leather armchairs and lit cigarettes just as
the Rolls Royce engine opened out in a
mighty roar, and the speed of the propeller
made it invisible.
Like stone from a catapult we shot
into the sky. Two thousand feet, three
thousand, four thousand, were registered on
the altimeter. And at this height the earth
was too far away to indicate the speed of the
Airco 16-110 miles per hour. We hung,
apparently motionless, in space, while far
below the glorious panorama of the country
side of southern England glided softly away.
The Thames, like silver serpent, lay on the
great grey mass of London, and led away
to the sea. AS the machine turned its back
on the city perfect mosaic of fields, forests
and hillsides, held together by thin net
work of white roads, glistened in many
shades and colorings to the coast. The ma
chine was still climbing, and at 5000 feet,
though not far from London, we could see
a great expanse of the English Channel, and
right across France.
"The bird's-eye view made the water
way between the two countries look as mar
row as a river; and in eight minutes we had
crossed the Channel. The time was too
short to enjoy the strange color effects of the
sea water; the map-like impression of the
winding coast lines, the glimpses of toy liners
and battleships with ribbons of foam in their
wake on the brilliant blue water.
"From above Boulogne we shot down
the French coast, over Abbeville, and then
inland towards Amiens.
"The weather conditions had changed.
Great white clouds like piles of cottonwood
lay around the biplane. We got above these
and the sky was clear blue again. The soft
white eiderdown of clouds entirely obscured
the earth below. The pilot was taking his
course from the compass alone. Unable to
see vestige of earth below, slipping through
space at 12O miles an hour, brilliant sun
shining from blue sky on the motionless
wings of the plane, it was a moment to regis
ter sensations There were sudden mental
flashes of mans new power over time and
space A wonderful realization of freedom,
ightness; the strange exhilaration of rare

DON'T WHINE I'M SICK ROOM
Remember to Carry Cheer, Not SYM
pathy to Those Who Are Tenn
porarily "Shut In."

Every one is called upon now and
then to visit. the sick room. Condi-
lions surrounding the bedside vista
tons present Il wide variation. There
is one rule that holds good under all
conditions, and that is to carry cheer
and sunshine-nOt a long face. but a
smile. If the patients are able talk
TO them OF what is going on outside.
Help them to forget themselves. a
man who for over twenty years had
been paralyzed, was visited by q
friend who was profuse in expressing
his sympathy and regret at the sick
mans helplessness. AS he was about
to leave, the afflicted man said. "Come
again, won't you, but when you do
please forget to tell me that you are
sorry for me as every one tells me that.
I've heard 1t every day for twenty
years. Help me TO forget it.. Bring
me q breath of the outside world"

son goes on, they become mature and
enter the ground, there undergoing the
transformations which are completed
by the issuance of the moth in mid
ummer.
If the garden is known to have been
weedy last season, the proverbial
ounce of prevention may be exercised
by scattering thinly over it, just be-
fore setting out the plants, q poisoned
bait. This is prepared by mixing thor
oughly a quart of dry bran with four
or five tabIespoonfuls of white arsen-
ic or Paris green. 1t is then made into
a we mash by the addition of a quart
or more of water, into which has been
stirred a half cupful of cheap strip or
molasses. 1t may be scattered thin
ly over the field a day or two before
planting, or will serve as q protection
to the newly set plants if n little is
sprinkled around the roots after wet
ting them down. Better results are
secured by putting out poison after
sunset, since cutworms begin to feed
about dusk.
y Poison Is Dangerous.
Care should be taken that this bait
is scattered thinly. as it might be dan
gerous to children or domestic ami
mails.
In small gardens, tra~nsplanted ycge-
tables may be protected by surround
ing their stems when setting them out
with a somewhat stif paper band ex-
tending from about an inch below the
surface TO two or three inches above.
Tin cans with ends removed afford
similar protection.
