Non-FIying Ducks
And Arctic Birds
Are Found in Chile
Former ''Ta1i'' on " ater,
Geographic Society Is
Told by Chapman.

Ducks which cannot fly, but which
taxi" on the water at a speed of 25
miles an hour or more: penguins
which do not nest on barren islands
like their fellows, but in dense vege-
tation, and birds of Arctic habits oc-
cupying the same territory with hum
ming birds and parrots-these are
some of the oddities of bird life in
southern Chile, as reported last night
to members Of the National Geo
graphic Society by Frank NJ Chap
man. Mr.. Chapman's address, de-
livered at the New Masonic Temple,
closed the 1924-25 lecture series of
the society.
Mr. Chapman described and H.
Illustrated boat trip southwark
through the inside channels among
the countless islands that dot the
Chilean coast. The party landed at
Punta Arenas. in the Strait of Ma
gellan, and returned by motor car
overland through the bonanza sheep
country of Chilean Patagonia, where
numerous fiocks of sheep were passed
containing from half a million to
million and a half animals. Bird life
is not respected particularly in the
sheep country, Mr.. Chapman said.
Countless wild geese share the ranges
with the sheep, and it has been cal
cuiated by the ranchmen that six of
them consume as much grass as
sheep.

35 law firms retained in the $4,000
600 Gould estate accounting spit, in
which court costs are estimated at
$50 a minute, listened to an extern
sive argument yesterday on the cost
of dog meat.
The debate concerned whether the
sum of s4.25 for meat for Mrs. Helen
Gould Shepards dog, and 81 for a
license fee, should be deducted from
the principal or from a fund set
aside for maintenance of the Lynd-
hurst estate.
Attorney Lyttleton Fox, represent
ing Mrs. Shepard, cited the argu-
ments over the dogs expenses in
demonstrating the "pettiness of the
objectors."
Attorney William Wallace, repre-
senting George Jay Gould, declared
the four executors, who received
$1,250,00O each, had been underpaid.
He described his client as a man of
imaginative business ability who had
carried on as Jay Gould desired.
"Oyer the entire period. from the
time of Mr.. Gould's death until 1922,
the entire losses were only 10000
oO0," he said, adding that the OBJ
jectors had accepted the gains and
refused to bear the losses.

THE GOOD LOSER
By THoMAs ARKLE CLARK

BY THOMAS Ankle CLARK
r HAVE never known anyone who
i loved the out-of-doorS more than
Mcmillan did. Trees and flowers and
birds and the blue sky thrilled him. A
dog and a gun and tramp through
the woods and across the hills gave
him the keenest pleasure. He had an
eye for beauty very rarely found.
His great ambition was to be a sur
geon, but there was no money in the
Mcmillan family, and if Roger were
to get anywhere it would be by his
own efforts. His father was a black
smith in a Western village, and all
through high school and for two or
three years afterward Roger shod
horses and worked at the anvil and
saved his money to take him to med
ical school.
He had no easy time in medical
school, but he got on amazingly. He
had no pleasure excepting the pleasure
of earning his living by hard toll and
the joy of realizing that he was doing
his college work we'll. The dean said
that of all the young fellows who had
come under his notice Mcmillan
showed most promise. His grasp Of
the subjects he was studying was won
derful, his skill in surgery marvellous.
He gave every promise of winning the
game of life
Toward the end Of his senior year q
strange dimness came over his eyes at
times; severe pains sometimes shot
through his head, but he was too much
engrossed with his work to give these
much attention. He was the president
of his class, he was the most respected
man in college, he had little time to
think of himself Just before COM
mencement someone persuaded him to
have his eyes examined. The physi-
clan was alarmed and sent him to the
moss distinguished specialist in the
country.
There is no use in Disgusting the
TRUTH" the specialist said, at is better
for you to know the worst. You are
losing your sight; there is no remedy
for it; in ten years at most you will
be totally blind"
''Pll make the most of the ten
years." the boy said, and that's about
all he said.
He went back to the town of his
birth and began his practice. AS his

sight gradually failed he was forced
to give up certain sorts of cases. His
sister read to him. and so he kept
abreast of all that was new in medi-
cine. AS his eyes grew dim, his hear
ing became more acute, his fingers
more skillful, his judgment in diagnosis
more accurate. Men came to him from
all over the country for advice, for
suggestions, for treatment. In spite
of his handicap, he is great physician
More than that he is great man
He sits in darkened room now, his
eyesight practically gone, but he has
not grown cynical, he never com
plains, he makes no alibis Everything
that gave him joy-his surgery, his
contact with the great out-of-doors
the sunshine and the bright blue sky,
he has lost, but he's the gamest loser

So there he fingered, disappointed. but
hardly able to think that the Tree
that was for everyone had nothing
for him.
Still looking up, the boy failed to
observe the kind-hearted old man who
took in the whole situation as he
passed and paused to lay his bundle
at the boys feet, but when he looked
down, there lay the present that made
him happily feel that the community
had indeed thought of everyone.
