BIRD HUNTERS CLEVER TRICK
Natives Of Northern Nigeria Assume
Resemblance of the Quarry They
Are Seeking.

Someone may have called you "A
bird" with explanatory accents OF adj
mirstion. but have you ever tried TO
act like a bird or To appear like
bird to attract real bird? OF course
you haven't, for this isn't the way we
In this country go hunting. even though
we may be the most ardent Of sports
men. Ii is, however, one bird-hunting
method in Africa, writes Temple Man
ming in the ST. Louis Republic.
A recent illustration shows how
dusky beau sets out 10 fascinate one
of the feathered natives of the woods
and plains OF northern Nigeria. 1t was
in Bassa, TO be exact, where the pho-
tograph from which the picture Is
drawn was snapped. And the person
who was caught in the very act OF en-
ticing a bird belongs to the tribe which
goes by the name of Munshi.
Industrious and very good tiliers OF
the soil as they are, the Mnnshis are
said to be Quarrelsome and great
lovers of alcohol, which they sometimes
contrive to smuggle in and TO drink
with vast speed. II may be. indeed.
that this Munshi hoped TO catch his
bird for the drink IL would bring. AT
any rate, he was most serious as he
went about his bird-acting.
Clad In a straw shirt TO give the
effect Of the scene in which he moved,
the hunter held the artificial birds
head close to his own and began 10
stalk his quarry. To human eyes view
ing him from distance he looked
more like strange caricaturc OF an
ostrich than anything else. To bird
eyes perhaps he appeared like scene
from the surrounding country-that Is,
bird lettering on a coal-black branch.
swaying above a field of grain that
moved in the wind.
Ii seems odd that so simple an ex-
pedient should be so successful. 1t is
true that the hunters sometimes return
empty-handed, but more often they
come back laden with the birds they
set forth to get. In this country and
In these days. when hunters sometimes
seem almost as numerous as the hunt
ed, il would be exceedingly dangerous
TO appear like the quarry, for bullet
most certainly would be the reward.
But in Nigeria the method is success.
although it requires much practice TO
initiate bird well enough TO deceive
the birds themselves.

nation on the charts and to add in

price and from the number in the Sec

portion can be quickly estimated. For
example, the chart shows that medium
sized oranges furnish about ten 100
calorie portions per dozen. When
oranges cost 40 cents a dozen. there

cents per 1OO-caiorie portion: when
they cost 60 cents a dozen, they fur

"Si,k" From PuIp.

Fifteen million pairs Of silk" stock

out of the United States last year to

The process by which the forests
are turned into silk stockings is a
comparatively simple one. Wood pulp
is treated with caustic soda to form a
sodium cellulose. and then dissolved
in carbon disuiphide. The artificial
product has a greater brilliancy than
natural silk. but is somewhat harsher

Bats Method OF Climbing.

Certain bats appear TO have found
their hook-like thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension. and have
made use of the suction principle for
this purpose. This mode OF suspension
has been developed Independently in
two distinct bats. one a native of Bra
I'll and the other OF Madagascar. In
the Brazilian species the suckers take
the form of stalked discs attached TO
the palms Of the thumbs and the soles
of the feet. The suckers of the Ma
lagasy species are horseshoe like. BY
means OF the suckers these bats are
able TO ascend vertical surfaces. Very
curious II is TO note the similarity he
tween the suckers of these bats and
those on the arms of the cuttlefishes.

few LEAVE WILLS
Seemingly, Expectation of Death
Is Not General.
Man Who Has Only Small Estate to
Leave Is the Most Apt to Think
That a Legal Document
is Not Necessary.

There are two reasons why people
put of the making of a will. In the
first place, as Cicero long ago pointed
out, mo one is so old as to think
that he may not live a year" II II
be winter, the average man. OF any
age, is sure that he will carry on 10
see the robins return and 10 breathe
fresh life with the spring; and III
summer he knows full well that he IL
rot destined TO pass out until he mas
harvested this years garden crop. IL
was so in CicerOs time; IL is TO-DAY.
Death is never imminent; we take
day off To attend the funeral or the
man whose desk was next TO ours IN
the Office. and returning from the GEM
etery we say 10 ourselves: Il ought
10 put my affairs in shape so that my
wife will be all right in case anything
should happen to me-" But We do not
do 1t. I'm right In the midst of
things now" we say. ''In another ten
years III have something worth writ
ing down in a will. Then I'll want TO
think the matter over carefully and ar
range fair division between my wife
and the children and the relatives;
but it's hardly worth while troubling
about now" The man in the Scrip
lures Is typical of most Of US.
Things are going well with me-" he
said in effect. 81 will pull down my
barns and build greater" And that
night his soul was required of him.
And the second reason why will
making is not popular is because there
is a general impression that a will is
luxury for the rich. Ii is expected
that Mr.. Million. when he dies. will
leave his estate carefully guarded by
long legal document; but the man
who has nothing but house and lot
and $500 in the bank assumes that II
isn't enough 20 bother the court about.
So he dies. and his wife, who might.
under proper will. have entered into
the enjoyment Of his estate at once,
with very little legal formality, finds
go through an immense amount Of red
tape; and is fortunate If she is not in
volved in family feud before the ne
gotlations are completed. Even II she
comes through safely. she has paid
more than she can afford. in fees and
charges-all of which would have been
largely obvinted by a proper will.
The rich mans estate will stand II.
There will he enough left for his heirs
even after the courts and lawyers are
through. A will for him is more or
less Of a luxury but IL is a necessity
TO the man of small means; and the
smaller the estate the more essential
