Killing of Herons

Snowy herons nested forty years ago
on marsh islands, usually in Cassina
bushes. about the height Of a mans
head.
The plumes are the nuptial feathers
of the birds, at their best in the nest
ing season. Soon after nesting has
been finished the plumes are shed. be-
ing frayed and worn then, useless for
trade purposes. Hence birds were
shot on the nest, often with .22-caliber
rifles, and the plumes cut away. Liv-
ing birds have been captured, the
plumes torn off, and the bird left to
die a lingering death. The young in
the nest starved.
Snowy herons were brought to the
verge of extinction, for when a survey
was made only seven birds were To-
Gated in South Carolina and handful
in Georgia. The larger American
egret nested in tall trees, but they
were shot all the same, and many
killed while feeding on the marshes.

VAST SAND WASTES
Sand Dunes Form Very
Small Part of Sahara.

We have inherited from the SCHOOL, |
Biographies of half century ago. a
picture Of Sahara-confirmed by num-
berless novels Of shifting sand dunes
inhabited by camels mad tawny lions,
and dotted here and there by the
picturesque camps of Good Samaritans
so necessary to the plans Of novelists
and scenario writer's. Z
1t will surprise many readers to }
learn that sand dunes form a very
tiny part Of the Sahara, that the
characteristic formations, comprising
more than three-fourths Of its area, Is !
not that of fiat plain, but Of low,
rocky mountain chains and rugged
plateaus.
fees of old beliefs must be made at
the altar Of truth, as revealed by
modern exploration. No part Of the
Sahara is, within the meaning usual
ly ascribed to the word, desert-that
is, no part Of its vast area Is complete
ly sterile, no part Is without at least
occasional rainfall, and on the sand

Of the hills and plateaus, vegetation
of some sort always exists.
But, having destroyed the ancient
legend Of the Sahara as picturesque,
but utterly barren expanse Of terri
tory, the temptation Is strong now to
rush to the other extreme and claim
extravagantly that only the touch Of
man is required to transform II, from
the Atlantic to the Nile, into one stu.
pendous blossoming garden.
The French, particularly the French.
colonists In North Africa, are an en-
tnusiastic and optimistic people, and
they have not wholly succeeded In
resisting this temptation. In spite.
however, of natural and insurmount-
able difficulties of soil, of water sup
ply and of climate, which will pre-
vent the Sahara ever from supporting
large population In comparison to its
size, there can be no doubt that dur
ing the next few generations a STU
pendous development will occur

OBSERVE ALL THAT YOU SEE
Expert Claims Most People Fall to
Observe Things They Come
In Contact With.

Ninety per cent Of the people in
the world do not observe what they
see."
by Mr.. Cornelius ID. Fleming, a school
master who is lecturing on observa-
ton to the detective school Of the New
York police department.
Mr.. Fleming said that observation Is
a most important factor, and that the
use of this faculty in affairs of compar-
atively small importance leads often to
important results.
He cited interesting examples Of the
failure Of the average layman to OBJ
serve the things with which he comes
in contact daily, simply because he
has not learned to be observant.
"Take the moon. for instance" he
said. II have asked many persons
where one first sees the new moon,
and in nine cases out Of ten they do
not know, although they must see the
moon often enough.
Here Is another. Does the human
nose come down in a straight liner Any
photographer will tell you that there
Is slight deviation, either to the
right or to the left, but how many
people know that off-hand?

Is carried will he brought down by the

This was the way Cary Jones, an

man. II have been here with the
WORKMAN shows eleven consecutive
years, for they have played the cole
bration that many times. So, now
you have the opinion of an old timer
on the Worlds Best"
He is right. The crowds attending
the Workman shows are shattering
records. The showmen also are ham
ding crowds that test the vitality and
patience of man. Yesterday and last
night throngs, n steady, happy, surg
ing mass, all bent on amusement, were
travelling "all the way through" They
did not forget that portion of the
shows on Bowen's Island, either.
There is located diving girls show,
Tantlinger's wild west show, the
Rocky Road to Dublin, the whale and
deep sea show, the trained wild ami
NAL circus, the miniature movie stu
do and the towering seaplanes.

sensational ride. He said:
I'VE started early and ran until
late. From the time we opened until
we closed police officers helped u:
handle the crowds. We worked on a
cooperative basis. On the platform
we made a waiting room for the next
turn. When the machine stopped and
was emptied of its crowd another
rushed in to fill the cars.
