on the Evanston Lake front last
night, was killed in the class rush,
Chief Of Police Leggett Of Evanston
declared today
Mounts body was carried to the
pier after his death and buried be-
meath heavy stones" Chief Leggett
said. There could be no other ex-
PLANTATION of the presence there Of
his skeleton.
1t is likely that Mount was acci-
dentally killed during the class war
In September. 1921, and that his
body was hidden by students who
were frightened as result of their
hazing"
Both arms and hands. one foot and
one lower leg are missing, the chief
said, and the pier beneath which the
skeleton was discovered is being
guarded by police until a complete
search can be finished.
Chief Leggett and President Walter
Dill Scott of the University met today
to arrange for the inquest tomorrow
morning. Chief Leggett announced
that the boys who testified at the
appearance would be among those
summoned to testify at the inquest.
Besides the skeleton, identified BY

gagged in the class rush of 1921 said
today it was similar to the ropes
given scores of under classmen for

members Of the opposite class.
The rope found by Mounts body was
not knotted, and gave no indication
of having been tied around the hands
about half way through at spots
about six inches apart,
Young Mount vanished from his
classes in the midst Of a spirited con-
troverSy over the evils OF hazing. His
disappearance came on the heels of
Arthur r. PerS1nger, who was bound
head downward to piling in the
lake. 1t was said in some quarters
that Persinger had been forgotten
although Northwestern University
officials issued statements protesting
that Persinger had not been hazed,
and that Mount had not been dealt
with seriously.
The pier is walled in on three SIDES
and police said that precluded the
possibility that the body might aave
been washed to its resting place by
the lake waters.
Henry Warren, Il twelve-year- -old
boy, found the bones under the: pier
when he crawled through small hole

MANY KINDS OF BIRDS NESTS
Homes Vary as Greatly az Do the
Feathered Creatures Who Raise
Families Therein.

The average time taken by bird to
build Its nest is about week; but If
the first enc be destroyed a second
home may be built in day, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. A few birds
afflicted with chronic laziness DO no
more than repair an old nest Of last
year. Immediately after the nest has
been built egg laying begins, usually
at the rate of one day laid about the
same time. Eggs laid in dark holes,
like those Of the woodpeckers and
klhgfshers, are always white, so that
they can be seen by the bird entering
the nest. Eggs, however, are all col
ors. Often, contrary to popular opin-
ion, the coloring is not at all protec-
tive. The number Of eggs laid In
tfeases with the amount Of danger to
which they are exposed sea birds

Only one egg, waterfowl ten to twenty.
The usual humber is three to Ave. In
GubAtlon usually begins with the laying
Of the first egg. Owls, however, be-
GIN when the last egg has been laid.
Robins eggs require fourteen days In
cubation, ducks twenty-seyen, geese
thirty-fve. In all cases during this
period the eggs have to be constantly
turned and moistened. Usually incu-

They Fly by Instinct.

When morning dawned the woods
were filled with fiocks of black polled
warblers, fitting like living shadows
from light to light, where the sunshine
came streaming through the leaves.
They had come in the night; in another
day they would be gone, flown on north
ward.
Black polls, frail little birds with
bones no larger than straws, can fly
better than the best of mans airplanes.
Every spring they migrate from South
America to Canada and every autumn
they fly back. The distance Is from
5000 to 1000 miles. Some fall by the
wayside, but many make the journey.
Black poll cross the Gulf of Mexico
at one flight. For "a hours on end
they are in the air, ceaselessly beating
their tiny wings, guided by unerring
Instinct. They follow their uncharted
courses through the air until they ar
rive safe at their destination.

BELIEVE IN THE "EvIL EYE"
One Of the Most Ancient 81 superstl.
tlons-Mentioned BY g. Paul,
In Galatians.

The EVIL Eye" is a mysterious
power attributed to certain persons
who are thereby able to injnre others,
or even to cause their death, by simply
looking at them. This ancient and
widespread superstition was at one
time sanctioned by the classical au-
thors, the fathers Of the church, and
the physicians of the Middle ages; and
Is still believed In by many nations
within the range Of Christendom. The
belief is widely spread among the Ital-
ians and Spaniards at the present day,
as well as among the Turks, Chinese
and japanese. The ancient Greeks
called 1t Baskania, and the Romans,
Fascinum. Virgil, In the Third Eclogue,
speaks Of an "evil eye" that has be-
witched the tender lambs; and st.
Paul, In Galatians 8:1, makes use Of
the idea metaphorlcally to denote the
spiritual perversion Of the Galatians
as follows:

witched you, that We should not obey
the truth, before whose eyes Jesus
Christ hath evidently set forth. cruel
