EAGLE DROVE AlRMAN DOWN
Bird Of Prey outmaneuvered the Hu-
man Filler and Finally Made
Him Land

A Swiss aviator has recently been
in combat with another bird of pas
saga large and powerful eagle.
The bird evidently resented pretty
strongly the aeronauts entry into
his domain, for he gave chase, and
annoyed him for some considera-
BILE time. Eventually, the arman
was forced to descend, owing to the
birds persistency.
Before landing, however, he took
every possible means to rid himself
of his tormentor. He looped the
Hoop, nose-dived, righted the ma
chine again, completed a series of
circles, but all to no avail. The
eagle had him every time. This
incident occurred some 5000 feet
above st. Moritz, and created quite
stir.
That birds and insects take more
than a passing interest in the strides
man has made in the flying world
is described by French naturalist
and airman. During the war he
was in charge of a captive balloon,
and says that the numbers of birds
and insects attracted to his aerial
craft were enormous. They not
only came to look, but to stay, and
he was thus able to get many rare
specimens.

California State library, located in
San Francisco. offered to receive for
safe keeping the manuscripts of I'M
finished books. The idea has worked
out so well that substantial eollec-
ton Of manuscripts has been estab-
lished, the collection being described
as the Authors depository. One hun
dred authors have taken advantage OF
the offer and have sent their manu-
scripts, either printed or imprinted,
finished or unfinished, to the deposit
tory, and letters from authors indi-
cate that the depository is much ap-
preciated by writer's as a means of
preserving valuable matter that
might otherwise became lost. A per-
manent authors depository is also
maintained in the California depart
ment Of the state library, which is 10
