Mr.. Saunderson said it gave him

the student of science to develope

"Blood Money"

"Blood Money" was the name APP
piled in the Middle ages and well into
the more modern period to the money
paid for bloodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by manslayer
to the nearest relatives of the victim,
to secure himself and his kin frpm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
of another, directly or through evil
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
pies, who called this money payment
wergild The price varied with the
nature of the crime and the rank OF
the victim. Certain crimes, such as
the Staying of a sleeping person, could
not be compensated by money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with i'm
punity. The term is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up q criminal to justice.

SMALL BIRDS FALCONS PREY
Peregrine, Like the Pirate He Is,
Takes Toll From Weaker Crea-
lures of the Air.

1t was reported recently that i'll the
eyrie of peregrine, a vicious bird, the
rings of % racing pigeons were found.
The peregrine falcon often kills birds
which are unfortunate enough to cross
its path Peewits and other birds that
frequent the coast are relentleSSly pur-
sued by this hawk, and another prey
is the golden plover, but this bird af-
fords the hawk a good chase before 1T
is caught.
The peregrine catches it's prey by
protruding its strong legs and talons
to their fullest extent when within a
few feet OF the quarry. Then for a
moment it's wings are almost closed,
and the next the prize is seized and
carried off. If, however, the object is
too heavy to be lifted from the ground
it Is forced along sometimes hundred
yards on the ground, and killed and
devoured on the spot. The nest OF the
peregrine is usually placed on the face
of some precipitous cliff, resting on a
shelf of rock or tuft of vegetation, and
consists of a mass of sticks and coarse
stems of grass and ferns.

Original Playing Cards.

The original pack of cards was a
CULVER of arrows. Playing cards are
regarded as derived from the divina-
tory use of the arrow away back in
the cradle of civilization-Chi or
India, says Stewart Culin, the archae-
ologist. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum of Archaeology, University of
Pennsylvania, has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards.
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow, and by their
design and name show Enthusiastically
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining in their
suit marks the same symbolism as that
of the CULVER of arrows from which they
were derived. The old Corean and
Chinese name for playing cards is
fighting tablets"

A $4,000,000 cargo of gold and sill
yer was sunk off the Virginia capes
ten years ago, and there it lies today.
The third attempt to salvage it has
just ended in failure. Probably other
attempts will be made, until one sue
ceeds The world perforce has learned
a lot about salvaging in the last few
years. British companies now' are
working to depth of 800 feet in rails
ing wrecks or removing cargo, and
even this may not be the limit. Since
marine ravages were mainly in zone
where the water seldom is deeper
than this, the field for salvage opera
lions may be imagined. Unluckily,
most items of cargo do not stand i'm
mersion in salt water Unless gold
and silver are present. or the vessel
itself is capable of repair, the wreck
usually is suffered to rest in peace.

NEW YORK HINT OF VENICE
Reservoir Is Beautiful Spot, With
Stately Homes That Seem to
Arise From the Water.

What the Brooklyn bridge is to the
resident of Brooklyn the reservoir is
to the middle uptown New Yorker-a
refreshing and beautiful place for
brisk walk, says the New York Sun.
The reservoir, particularly the up
per one, with a path on the brink, is a
place of romance. Across the water
rise stately houses they seem almost
on the edge of the water, like the
houses Of Venice. Sometimes the
water is q sheet of ice. One day 1t
seemed like a stretch of gray taffeta,
with inserts of blue crepe where the
wind rippled the patches OF water that
remained. Close to the shore broken
bits of ice tinkled continually against
a stretch of solid ice, with the sound
Of sleigh bells.
But in summer there Is another
aspect to the reservoir. Horseback
riders gallop around in fetching cos
tunes, while the water sparkles in the
sun.
But there is one point at certain
hour that lifts you out of New York
out of America, out of the world. Inc
point Is the western stretch of the
southern side. The hour Is sunset The
magic is produced by the fountain, q
thin, high sweep of spray painted
with rainbow shades by the setting
sun. Up goes the stream, swirling into
q gigantic feather in the gentle hands
Of the breeze Suddenly the rainbow
appears, to vanish as the wind swings
the spray In another direction, to re-
appear again for u few breath-catch-
ing seconds. The spray sweeps here
and there, covering you for an instant.
The sun leaves It for a moment and
the fountain becomes a bridal veil.
Out comes the sun and the fountain
flashes into glory.
