British Bird Sanctuaries

Farne islands, off the Northumbrian

cies. terms of four. auks Of three,
cormorants of two, waders Of two.
and one species Of duck. The islands
form one Of the most southerly sta
lions in the breeding range Of the
elder duck. The most interesting
species, perhaps, Is that Of the ro-
seate tern, now found only in few
British localities AS q breeding place
for sea fowl the Farne islands have
no equal around the British coasts,
and even the great bird stations
among the Scottish isles lack one or

Days of Life Should
Not Be All Routine

Life consists of days, not years.
Days are all that we're sure of. Too
many Of US drift along and forget the
approach of that final event called
Death. Time is everlasting, but you
and I have only tiny bit Of it, Her
bert N. Casson writes, in Forbes Mag
azine. What we would do, we must
do quickly. Time is the stuff that Life
is made Of. There Is nothing in the
world SO precious and SO scarce as
time. We have no days to waste. We
need every one Of them to build our
lives with. No one. ever, has too many
days when he comes to the end of his
life. That is why we should not allow
a day to be all routine. That Is why
we should always put to good use the
two or three hours before bedtime.
That is why we should end every day
with a little friendship, or music. or
study, or fun, or family sentiment.
Never day without laugh, except
when sorrow comes. Never day with
out book. Never day without
friend. That is the way to be sure,
every evening. that you have come to
the end of perfect day.

Sand Feet for Clovns

Stills usually employed by circus
clowns to give them gigantic stature
during their antics in the rings have
feet of sand to aid the performer in
walking and to maintain his balance.
The poles are of stout hickory fiat
tened and widened at the tops to fit
the wearer's thighs and fitted with
straps to hold them in position.
Toward the bottom the props are
rounded and tapered, ending In soft
shoes filled with coarse sand which
are fastened on the sticks so that the
heels support the points. Wide trou-
sers or other apparel cover the stills
for their full length, and the clowns
appear to walk on their heels.-Pop-
