One Thing Man Does Not Know

"The spring season of the flight of migratory
birds has brought to the front the old question of
how they know their way says the Indianapolis
Star. Discussion dscloses the fact that science,
with all its discoveries in many directions, has
made no progress in this line and that the human
creature does not know the birds secret Orni-
biologists have tried to explain that the feath-
cred travellers are governed by the sense of sight
but as they fly at night as well as by day, and
when fogs and clouds obscure the face of the
earth below them, the theory is not good. 1t is
also suggested that they follow the course of GER
tain rivers but there is really nothing to prove
that they give any attention whatever to the
phenomena below. That they know their geog-
raphy, however, is proved by the fact that indi-
vidual birds return year after year to the same
quarters and the same nests.
at seems apparent that they have sense OF
direction and of place than man does not possess
Men who are learned in wilderness lore find gen

eral guidance by the stars and by certain
peculiarities of tree growth and other phenomena
of nature, but if they wish to be sure of specific
locations and of the return path they mark their
way, by secret signs if enemies are abroad, or by
bazed trails, as our pioneer fathers did. In these
days they carried compass. They have no Sc
cret sense of direction, no instinct on which to
depend to take them safely on their way.
: "The homing instinct that takes birds half
across the world and brings them back by the
same straight road through the sky belongs also
to dogs and cats, as has been demonstrated innu-
merable times. A dog taken on a train fifty or a
hundred miles to new home and new master,
has been known to return on foot and by route
of his own tagged with travel, but rejoicing over
what he evidently regards as an escape from I'M
satisfactory company, and expecting welcome.
A cat tied securely in bag and released miles
from home by an unappreciative owner may be
found on the same owners doorstep next morn
ing.
"Whatever the gift is that these birds and
animals have, it is something that man does not
possess and is to the extent it reaches, superior
quality. 1t may be humiliating to human pride
to admit that animals have an advantage over
mankind in any line of intelligence, but facts are
facts And as neither birds nor animals can com
muncate their secret, though dogs look as If they
would be more than willing to speak our Ian
guage, the chances are that the mystery will be
sealed to the end of time"

After Dinner Trick S

A half dollar, or one of the new
Peace dollars, is taken between the
fingers and apparently bent back and
forth. When any one else tries the
trick they find it impossible.
The trick is merely an optical IL
fusion, but very deceptive one. The
eoin is held as shown il the diagram,
and the hands are bent back and forth,
just as though bending the coin. From
a few feet away it appears that the
DIN is really being bent Similarly O
watch, or even a small plate, can be
made to appear pliable.

A. Under the cumulative system
of voting the voter may cast as many
votes for one candidate as there are
officers to be elected, or may distribute
the same number of votes or equal

the state legislature were to be elected
the voter could cast three votes for
one candidate, one vote for each three
candidates. or one and one-half votes
for each of two candidates. The OBJ
