LOVED ALL FEATHERED FOLK
sAudubon's Name immortal Because
Of His Splendid Work for Amer.
loan Native Birds.

John James Audubon, an American
naturalist and bird lover, who did per-
haps more than any other man to in
terest Americans in their native birds,
was born in Meadville, La, Of French
parents, in $780, He studied in
France. In 1893 he settled near Phil
adelphia. where he lived for ten
years, devoting himself to the study
Of birds. Later he spent considerable
time in 1.-The West, wandering through
the woods in close touch with his
feathered friends. In 1926 Audubon
went to England, exhibiting his bird
drawings, which he finally published
in work containing ABS coiored
plates Of birds the size of life, entitled
"The Birds of America" A copy Of
this complete work today Is worth a
small fortune.
On his return to America Audubon
labored on an Illustrated work, 1.-THE
Quadrupeds of America" Audubon
never Instituted any movement for the
preservation of birds, for in his day
much of the country was wild, ana
1t looked as though there were no
danger Of birds ever becoming extinct.
1t was his genuine love for the feath-
cred folk that caused the Audubon
society to be named for him.
The Audubon society has done much
to prevent wanton destruction and to
create a sentiment against the wear
ing of birds and feathers on millinery.
It is largely due to Audubon societies
throughout the country that large
tracts of ground have been set apart
as bird reservations. The national Of
fee of the organization is In New
York city. ~

Some Compensation.

An official of a large corporation,
which had made rather poor earn

tion on liie Vct that connecting com

from this" he said, and went on:

BARNACLEs LONG A MYSTERY
Up to Comparatively Few Years Ago
the Small Creatures Were
Wrongly CIassed. 3

SO indefinite and hazy were the re-
suits of Investigation In its case that
until very few years ago the
parnacle was classed with the mol
lusca, although it is really a crHs f,
cean. 1t is developed from free-swim9l-
ming larvae and attaches itself t0
rocks or timbers, which it never leaves
again unless torn off by force,
There prevailed during the Middle
ages curious superstition that the
barnacle was the egg of migratory
goose, the eggs being attached 10 the
branches Of trees that overhung the
water. Not until it was found that the
bird bad It's nesting place in the
Arctie regIoHs ard came came South II , dur
Ing the polar winter was thia ffcttiiSSn}
dlsproved. But the bird Is stlll known
as the barnacle goose.
The barnacle also attaches itself
to living organisms, one Of its favorite
lodging places being the huge bulk Of

ed, it ventures even iRtR the jaws of
the big mammal. 1t is one Of nv
raradoxes OF nature that the leviathan

His Last Chance.

The wedding was to take place that
morning. Most people were Of opin-
ion that the bride, aged forty-five. had
pursued the bridegroom, and finally
cornered him. At any rate, she kept
q watchful eye on him now.
On the way to the church the party
came to a river. and an old, man
stood ready to ferry them across. Sud-,
denly there was loud cry. The BRIDE
groom had fallen overheard.

FISH NOT Erred FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small
Species That Undoubtedly Bear
Their Young Alive.

The habit of laying eggs Is so near.
ly universal among fishes that prob
ably most people will be surprised,
says Science Siftings to learn that
certain small species actually bear
their young alive. Among these is the
large family of killifishes, or Cyprino-
dontidae. In such species the young
are born in a comparatively advanced
stage of development. When born
they closely resemble the adult fish.
All of them are very tenacioNs of life.
That the bearing Of the young alive
by certain fish is not significant 81 a
higher state of evolution, as the lay
man might naturally suppose, Is
proved by the fact that it occurs In
many species of the sharks and their
cousins the rays. though these are
among the earliest, /. e., the most an
cient fishes that we know. This habit
of procreatiop has been developed IN
order to give the young fry better
chance of survival than they might
otherwise have-it is literally case
of "fewer babies but better Ones" The
most curious of all these fishes Is the
genus Annb1eps which lives In the
streams Of the American tropics. This
is sometimes called the four-eyed fish,
for the reason that. its large -promi-
nent eyes, which actually resemble
marbles on the TOP Of the head, are
divided horizontally into two parts,
the lower half being fitted for water
vision and the upper half for air

TALKING TO SPIRITS
BY Garrett p. Serviss

; made that mathematics serves for
the key to all its locks.
OF all these things science is
ever ready to speak, and. indeed,
has everything to say, because uni.
versal human experience verifies
their truth and soundness. Science
finds that they are graspable and
provable by its established methods
Of investigation. But even the least
Objectionable Of the occult subjects
that you mention-viz.. telepathy-
Is not now, whatever II may be-
come in the future, q thing that
science can lay it's hand upon and
say: I've got you, and now I am
in position to find out what you
are"
The alleged facts are still too
few, too uncertain, for science to
form an opinion about them. They
may be true facts, and back of
them may lie a revelation of stu
pendous Importance and interest
without any relation to spiritual
ism or spiritism). but at present
telepathy is not sufficiently verifi-
ed to be entitled to a stand in the
category of science.
1t has not yet made a sufficiently
powerful appeal to the leading
minds of science to induce them
to undertake an investigation Of
such a character that it's results
Would be accepted by everybody
as the laws Of physics are accepted
today.
As to spiritual revelation" sci-
ence is still less inclined to say ANY,
thing at all. For me, I can only
look upon alleged offered proofs Of
communications from the dead
with amazement. Either they are
satuated with delusion or else man.
king in it's highest moments has
been living in a FOOLS paradise.
Tho possibility Of spiritual COM
munication"-I do not believe that
there Is any such possibility. But,
mark this: My belief Is based en-
tirely on absence Of proper and sat
isfaotory proof, and not on any pro-
determined resolve not to believe.
l will believe anything that Is prov
ed to the satisfaction of my judg-
ment. But all the so-called "proofs"
that / have yet seen are, to me.
frivolous and worthless.
| do not deny that the picture
which these alleged spiritual reve-
lations of the life beyond the grave
present appears to me abhorrent
beyond words; but, nevertheless,
! should not be induced by that
sense Of adherence to reject proofs
which appeared to my understand
ing to be irreputable.

FOUND anywhere. The world of
business venture and success all
ABOUT you Is a tense, hustling and
hlSh-speed affair. 1t Is a combi-
nation, commercial-speed model,
while you appear to be a combina-
ton. social-sport model.
Boy. your easy. loafing manner
is out OF date for one of your size.
You must have yourself cut down
TO another pattern, one of lees
show and more go. Make a deal
FOR a new set Of habits geared for
speed and efficiency. Take your
hands out Of your pockets and set
them to doing something. Oil up
your mind and shove 1t forward to
something that requires more alert
ness.
No, do not think Of quitting school
and going to work. That is not
necessary. and probably would
prove to be a serious loss in the
main drive for success. STAY in
school and center upon q definite
plan for speeding up while there.
Make a well-balanced hour-by.
hour schedule for preparing your
lessons at home. Stick to it and
work like beaver while at that
post Of duty.
While passing to school and
from one class to another, assume
an air Of business-head up. look
forward, step fast and firm, hands
out OF your pockets, get the feel
Ing OF being a man Of affairs.
When reciting in the class room
talk straight to the point and like
man. Take a shot at every
question put to you. No one can
answer them all. Blunder away
earnestly as one who would go
to the bottom of a question. and
thus your self-respect will grow
rapidly.
In school and out train your
voice to decisive, manly intona.
tions. Make your words sharp
and decisive. Omit soft baby talk.
Thus learn to think, to feel and
to act as an earnest. aggressive
man of affairs, and this accumu-
lating psychic force will tend to
carry you forward in due time
to the point Of business success.
