Modern Falconry.
From the Kansas City Star.

Falconry is not entirely a sport Of
the past. In Chitral. on the north
western frontier of India, 1t Is still
the popular pastime; and 1t Is said
that the skilled Chitrali falconers
will train the wild hawk to obedience
they have been known to accomplish
the feat in five.
The ground covered is generally
wild and precipitous, and the quarry
Is usually Ahe chakor. a large par
fridge. whose discovery is signaled by
ln the air.
AS the quarry swings by, the hunt
er balances and swings forward the
goshawk on his fist, and the bird.

turned and taken a fresh hawk on
his fist, when suddenly there are
shouts and a covey will fly down the
wind close TO the nuntlnS party.
Srhen the hunter will throw off the
hawk and another Of the party will
loose a falcon.
The game is now at it's height. The
cries Of the hunters follow closely
spon one another, and the chakors
shoot by in single birds and coveys.
One after another the hawks are
shrown off. and the magnificent sight
is presented of the great birds wheel
sng round in the wind and darting
off in pursuit. AS each Is thrown
off, a falconer dashes after her at
full speed to take up the hawk # a

LENIN A RECLUSE.
Comparatively Few Russians Have
Seen the Red Leader.

Georg Popof. in the Vienna Neue Freie Presse.
Lenin has ruled Russia for five
years; yet comparatively few Rus
SLAMS have seen him personally. 1t
was easier in the old days to watch
the czar taking the air in the park
of Tsarskoe Selo than 1t has been
for the past five years to catch a
glimpse Of Lenin's face at the Kremlin
and at Gorki, his summer home near
Moscow, where he, his wife, and his
only daughter live a modest, almost
peasant like family life.
A bodyguard Of trusted communists
watches over him day and night. On
public occasions the glowering, search
ing glance Of the commander Of this
guard hovers necessarily over his en-
tourage.
At the time Of his last public appear
ance that stern shadow stood beside
him. When he concluded his address,
and a violent tumult Of applause shook
the hall. a group of loyal friends quick
ly encircled him. and no stranger or sus-
pected person could approach. He was
hastily spirited away through a dark
passage and down a narrow stairway to
the motor or that bore him Off at a
furious pace to the security Of his
suburban retreat.

Nanny Finds a Use for the
Tin Can,
He longest lives And wisely lives
Who constant thought to safety gives.
danny Meadow Mouse,

danny Meadow Mouse.
All that Nanny Meadow Mouse said
about that old scarecrow for q place
for new home was true. Danny had
to admit II. The only thing he could
find to say against It was that It
stood a little way in from the grass
Of tho Green Meadows. for, as you
know, It was in Farmer Browns
cornfleld. Danny always feels safest
when he can make his little paths
through the grass. But Nanny
promptly pointed out that It would
be just as safe in there. because the
broad. long leaves OF the corn would
keep them hidden when they were
running to and fro.
Nanny didn't waste any time. She
started to work right away to make
a place in the middle Of the bundle
Of straw with which the old coat was
stuffed She pulled out straw Until
there was good sized little room
there. Then she brought fine. soft.
dry grass and lined 1t. OF course,
had a wistful longing for that old
tin can. Once in a while he would
mention 1t.
After the new home was completed
Danny and Nanny made little paths
through the grass to the Green
Meadows as they hunted for food.
One day Nanny missed Danny. She
found him looking rather wistfully
into that old tin can by the fence
post. At the sight OF that old can a
happy thought came to her. Yes, sir,
Nanny Meadow Mouse had a happy
thought.
DO you know what we'll do with
this?" said Nanny
No" replied Danny. 'Tf we are
not going to live in 1t don't see
what good 1t Is to U.s."
II do" said Nanny.
"What?" demanded Danny.
1T will make us the finest store
house that ever was" cried Nanny.

Thinks Former Doughboy, Who
Married French Girl, Is Victim

By the Associa ted Press.

by the ASSoclated Press.
PARIS. July 2S.-The American
embassy Is seeking information
about John Louis Ayotte Of Sheboy-
gan, Wis. serving a sentence for
arson. The embassy's object is to
present an application for clemency to
the French government as instructed
from Washington.
When a doughboy in France,
Ayotte married Mile. Larinier Chal-
onssur-Saone. and took her home
with him, but they returned to
France on urgent appeals from the
girls father. Father and son-in-law
were unable to agree. Then a barn
on their farm burned down and
Ayotte was convicted of arson.
His friends feel that he did not
have adequate defense because of
his limited knowledge of the French
language. They think that there
was nothing more to the case than
family quarrel. The French gov
ernment has informed the American
Aid Society that 1t will release
Ayotte II 1t finds there are extenuat-
ing circumstances and he has prom
tsed to return to the United States
as soon as he is released.

WHITE BOTTOM PAINT
is FOE TO BARNACLES
q. S. Laboratory Hopes to Pre-
vent Growths on
Ships.
FROM the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
One of the oldest problems con-
fronting shipowners-the prevention
of fouling of ships bottoms by marine
growths-shows indications of hav-
ing been solved as the result of ex-
periments at the laboratory of the
bureau of fisheries at Beaufort, N. C..
Barnacles and other growths are par
ticularly attracted by certain colors
and repelled by others. Barnacles
seen to have an especial dislike for
white, while they flock to red like
flies around molasses Red has long
been the conventional color for paint
ing ships bottoms, as the paint used
has a foundation Of copper
The problem has been solved for
wooden ships already by the use of
copper sheathing, but 1t is imprac-
ticable to use this on steel ships,
which must depend upon paint for
protection. At present it is the prac-
tice to use two kinds of paint; the
first, an anti-corrosive coat, over
which Is applied a toxic paint to pre-
vent the attachment of various
growths. The new method may OBJ
viate this need for two coats by en-
bodying the non-corrosive element in
coat Of white paint.
The result of the experiments at
Beaufort, which were obtained by
lowering painted glass plates into
barnacle-infested waters for three
months. are: Yellow and green,
slightly foul; red, blue and black,
heavily coated with marine growth
These last named colors are the ones
most generally used.

Goddesses of the Moon.
Prom the Kansas City Times.

Luna is the Latin name for the
moon. To the Romans, however,
Luna was not a planet. but god
dess, who drove her silver chariot
across the sky. This goddess was
not always gentle and kind. and was
believed sometimes to drive insane
those who had seriously offended
her. From this old superstition the
word 'lunatic" grew up. But there
was another deity, a far more i'm
portant one, named Diana, and since
she was the sister of the sun god.
Apollo, she must, argued her wor-
shippers, have something to do with
the moon. To her, therefore. grad
elally were transferred the qualities
Emerged into one conception. Luna.

moon goddess. and her worship

A private company will be formed
with a capital of 100000. of which
half will be paid up. The f200. 900
thus represented will be augmented
by a government loan of 100000, and
with this total OF 100000 the opera
tions will be started. The government
will not accept responsibility for
Profits to the shareholders, but. will
grant an increasing subsidy after a

African Mud Houses.
From Popular Science Magazine

The native OF Kirdi-Massa, on the
west coast Of Africa. builds his home
of a stiff clay much like the adobe
used by Mexicans and Indians. This
is poured over a framework of slen-
der wooden poles used as reinforce
ments, and allowed to dry in the sun.
The design Is worked on with a crude
trowel-like tool while the mud is
moist. The houses look like huge
anthills, with only an inadequate
opening for a door in the side and a
small round chimney hole at the top
to admit light and air. The design
on the outside is often elaborate and
worked out with the greatest pains,
for 1t serves to identify the owner
of the hut. and is virtually copy
