RATlIFF LISTS 1856 Different SPECIES
Seen NEAR RICHMOND DURING LAST YEAR

the Gulf of Mexico and Central Amer
lea. The birds from the Arctic regions
and northern Canada coming to this
section Of the country, because food
cannot be found in the Arctic regions
during the winter months.
Comparing the annual reports sent
to Washington it shows that some
birds travel as far as 10000 to $4,000
miles, this being the case of gulls and
other water birds.
Some Are Decreasing.
Common birds are found in ter
ritory reaching from Central America
to Alaska. These birds are in common
the robin, bluebird. blue jay, flicker,
blackbird, crow, and several species of
sparrows, a great assortment of wild
ducks, many hawks and owls.
From a study in Indiana the birds
that are decreasing are the passenger
or wild pigeon. 1t is said that the last
specie of this type of bird died in Gin
cinnati several years ago. Other birds
crow, purple martin, and some of the
field sparrows, and the cave swallow.
The birds that are increasing are
the robin, meadow lark, bob-o-link,
; English sparrow in same localities,
crow in some localities, wren, rose
breasted grosbeak and great families
of warblers and vireos. The vircos are
a specie that have been hard to study
and are now becoming better known
as the larger timbers are being cut
away, as this is the home of this bird.
This reason makes the bird come
down to the lower woods and nearer
to mankind.
Beneficial and injurious specie of
birds have been studied by the govern
ment and the state officials, and it is
found that only three species are in
furious, all of the other specie are
found to be of some benefit. The three
birds that are classed as being injur-
ious to mankind are the bob-o-link or
rice bird, northern .shirks and the
hawk.

Haunts and habits of birds has be-
Ratliff. During the past year, 1856 diff
ferent kinds of bird specie have been
seen in this locality by the fancier.
His twenty-second annual report to
United States department of agricul-
ture has just been completed for 1920.
This report gives the earliest date
the birds were seen here, number
seen, when next seen, when they be
came common, whether they are COM
mon or rare here, and remarks re-
garding each by Mr.. Ratliff.
This report is prepared each year by
Mr.. Ratliff for the bureau Of biologic-
al survey. He has been doing the
work for several years and is now con-
sidered one Of the authorities in this
part of the country on birdlore. He
has accepted an invitation to speak
before the students of Shortridge high
school in Indianapolis next Tuesday.
Has Bird Collection.
In his home he has a collection of
mounted birds that is considered one
OF the pest IN indiana, being made up
of birds common and rare that have
been found near Richmond.
Some of the interesting features of
the report were the facts that certain
birds are becoming rare irl>< this Sec
ton that formerly were found here in
abundance. Many are also coming
later than usual.
From three days to half month
generally elapse from the time the
first bird is seen until they become
common. Two or three generally an
nounce the near approach of the flock,
it Is said.
Why Birds Migrate.
A copy of this report is sent to In
dianapolis and from there to Washing
ton so as the migration of the birds
from one part of the country to anoth-
er can be studied. Most of the birds
go south for the winter months and the
severity Of the weather determines
what portion Of the birds remain here.
A large portion of the birds go to

Guy Bates Post has fairly enthral-
ed theater-goers through the power of
his wonderful artistry as disclosed in
his latest starring vehicle, "The Mas
querader," which is attracting capacity
audiences wherever presented.
Playing the double role, John Chill
cote, M. p, and John Loder. a young
scribbler, Post presents two remark
able representations. The one is that
of a naughty member of parliament,
whose senses have been befuddled by
the continuous use of drugs, the other
is a clean-cut Canadian who is his
physical double and who takes the
place of Chilcote in his worldly affairs
in order that the weakling may devote
himself to drugs.
Both roles. entirely dissimilar, place
a heavy burden on Mr.. Post who pre-
sents a striking pair of portraits. In
fact, it is the most remarkable work
of its type that the English speaking
stage has ever seen.
"The Masquerader" was written by
John Hunter Booth from the very pop
ular novel by Katherine Cecil Thurs
ton, and the playwright has caught the
spirit of the book admirably. Richard
Walton Tully, who was the author and
producer of Omar, the Tentmaker,"
in which Post was last seen on tour
is the producer of The Masquerader,"
and has given the play most elabor-
ate and unique presentation. The sup
porting cast embraces all the we'll
known players including Alice John,
Elwyn Eaton, Katherine RaynOr and
others.

Origin of ophthalmia.

Little was known concerning the
surgery of the eye in Great Britain
until the expedition into Egypt under
Sir Ralph AbercrOmbie took place fol-
lowing the advance of the French into
the land Of the pyramids led by Ma
poleon Bonaparte. The British troops,
says the New York Medical Journal,
became the victims Of contagious oph-
thalmia, then and now widely prev
alent in that country. and brought
back that scourge into Great Britain
Incapacitated from further fulfilling
their military duties. the disease was
spread by these men throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Sc
rious study of the eye then began.

Voices by Radio.

Voice transmission by radio waves
has passed beyond the experimental
stage. The United States bureau of
standards says that it is now ac-
tually possible TO telephone by wire
less over as great a distance as by
the ordinary wire.
1t also states that the quality of
the transmitted speech is as perfect
as that which comes over the ordin-
airy telephone and the same remark
applies to music sent by radio.
This highest scientific authority ex-
presses belief that before very long
communication across the Atlantic by
radiophone will be established on a
commercial basis. When that has been
accomplished, a person in Philadel-
phIa or New York will be able at any
time TO call up and converse with
friend or business acquaintance In
London or Paris by paying stated
and moderate rate per five minutes
of talk.

No Other Country In the World Said
to Possess Such Variety az

The Portuguese boast of their forest

hundred kinds Of imported trees in full
and gigantic growth. But there is nc
other country in the whole world
where so many varieties of imported
trees flourish as in the British Isles.
and Kew has specimens Of nearly all
Of them. Not only original, or, rather,
natural varieties are to be seen at
Kew, but others which owe their being
to the cunning of man. The latter are
graft-hybrids Of extraordinary interest.
In the year 1926 French gardener
grated a purple-fowered cytisus on q
laburnum stock. A branch developed,
which produced flowers intermediate
between the stock and the scion. You
can see specimen of this hybrid

'The soy-stands Before You"

The swing and spring Of master Of
men was In his stride, for he carried
in his pocket telegram addressed to
man with a name at last, to David
Wulf Warbrftton. The telegram told
Of two fortunes awaiting down the
river, Of houses and lands, and advis-
Ing that Judge Eskridge was on his
way.
Near the turn Of the path he stopped
and stood listening. The song of a
thrush was charming the silence. Only,
the song carried certain delicious,
elusive witchery that no bird throat
ever knew. He stole along the path,
stopped and stood with barred head.
Upon the fiat rock at the pool stood
the Wild Rose, the tears running down
her face, her lips and throat alive with
the magic Of song. A lady cardinal
perched upon her shoulder. A king
cardinal fdgeted and twitched his crest
on an overhanging twig that almost
brushed her. hair. A pair of shy
thrushes duttered and fitted in reach
OF her hand Other birds walked up
and down nearby branches, or darted
down for hurried peck at the crumbs
she had scattered over the rock.
The tears drowned the blue; the
song ceased. The birds futtered away
one by one. The girl bowed her head
and stood with clasped hands. gazing
down at the quiet water.
The mans step reused her. She
turned, and her hands unclasped as IL
to reach toward him-but Instantly
clasped themselves again. He turned
from the path, stepped out on the rock
and came to her side. A moment her
eyes met his. and then went back to
the placid water and she stood crying
softly.
She turned back to him after time,
