a long and anxious search. the young
wife found them dead together and
read the story of the tragedy"
The author of the series of which
this absorbing volume forms a part
is not a professional ornithologist in
the sense that he lives by his science.
He has business interests in Massa-
chusetts to which he devotes two days
a week. spending the rest of his time
on the study of birds. His interest in
birds began as boy, and for the last
40 years he has spent a part of every
year on ornithological expeditions. He
has always felt a special preference
for the wilder birds, such as the
eagles, cormorants and auks.
Origin of History Series.
The plan for this monumental series
of life histories of all North American
birds was first suggested to Mr.. Bent
in 1910 by the work on the same lines
begun by Maj. Charles Bondire, the
first and second volumes of which
were published by the Smithsonian
Institution in 1892 and 1895 Mai
Bendire did not live to complete the
work, however, and it lapsed after his
death. In 1910 Mr.. Bent conceived
the plan of carrying it on, following
Maj. Bendire's lead of giving special
attention to breeding habits and eggs.
But he soon found it advisable to eX-
tend the scope considerably, and the
exhaustive present series is the result.
To get his data, Mr.. Bent enlisted
the cooperation of ornithologists and
institutions throughout the country.
The publishing costs of such a work
are, of course, too great for a private
purse. It's importance to science was
such, however, that the Smithsonian
Institution undertook to publish the
volumes in the National Museum
Bulletin series. The groups still to
be covered include shore birds, gal
linaceous birds, raptorial birds, small
land birds and song birds.
Has Volume on Shore Birds.
"Mr. Bent has the manuscript for
the volume on shore birds already
we'll advanced" says the Smithsonian
in a statement telling of the work,
but to cover the remainder of the
field viii require IA or Is volumes
more. The poverty of the Smith.
sonian. and its branches makes it i'm
possible TO print more than one vol |
ume a year, so that there is some
doubt as to whether Mr.. Bent viii be
able to complete the work in his life
time. The work is a typical example |
of the self-sacrificing devotion to
science of an enthusiast. Mr.. Bent |
receives no reward for his work and |
even pays aids out of his own pocket |
TO classify certain types of material. |
For the sake of ornithology and of all |
lovers of birds, it is to be hoped that |
will permit him to com. |
plete his monumental task.

SCIENTIST SEES IN MAN
MASS OF ELECTRIC CELLS
Biological Specialist Finds Each
Living Unit Provided With In
sulated Tube and Conductor.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 23--Man is a mass Of
electric" cells, says DIR. Lakhovsky,
a biological specialist, whose concIu-
sions recently set the august Academy
of Sciences to buzzing.
Every living cell, says Lakhovsky,
has in it an insulated tube filed with
an electric conductor that oscillates
when influenced by high frequency
currents set in motion by various at
mospheric phenomena.
The electric activity within man, it
is explained, fits in with the recent
contention of DR.. Faure before the
Academy of Medicine that sun spots
cause the number of sudden deaths to
be doubled.
Further. Lakhovsky asserts. mem

California Owls
Will Wage War
On Rats in Pacific

BY the Associated Press.
Two cases of owls have been
shipped from San Diego to Lord
Howe Island in the South Seas,
where it is hoped the birds will
wage relentless war on an army of
rats that are plaguing the IL in
habitants out of house and home.
Traps and poison have failed and
several dozen cats imported In the
role of executioners have lost their
appetite for the rodents.
E. G.. Babbitt, an American trade
commissioner at Sidney, has report
ed here that experts sent to the
island by the Australian govern
ment decided that the California
barn owl was the most persistent
enemy or rats among living things.
The rats have been dumped on the
island by ships stopping to purchase
palm seeds, which is the chief
product of the island.

Regarding Campus

The grading Of the Burton High
Campus is now well under way
The field is being leyeled off by
excavating at the north end and
filling up the low ground at the
south end.
The work started December l,
and since that time has been pro
crossing rapidly. Several stumps
have been removed at the north
end and the electric light wires
have been moved so that they will
not interfere with the grading OPP
erations In all, great change is
taking place in the appearance OF
the school grounds.
This work is being done through
donations Of various people that
are forwarding the project Many
men are volunteering their labor
while county tractors are being
used.
The work is going on in big
strides, and it is estimated that it
will be completed in another week

Contest

Tie race between the Wild Cats
aud the Bear Cats closed Tuesday
noon with a score of 67-72 in favor
OF the Bear Cats.
The record and subscriptions
have been sent in to the Curtis
Publishing Company at Philadel-
phia. In appreciation of the great
interest shown in this drive, the
Curtis Publishing Company has
promised the students a party at
the termination Of the contest.
Much enthusiasm has been dis
played ON both sides. The girls
under the leadership of Thelma
Wells and Jean Stone, and the
boys under Bob Stewart and Mar
shall Mattson, have shown good
teamwork and great spirit.
Mr.. Higgins of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company gave an interest
ing and instructive talk on sales
manship and from the results ii
seems that the Bear Cats were
more attentive because they got
more subscriptions. The money
totalling 500 will be turned over tc
the treasurers Of the athletic club,
to be used during the coming bas
ketball season.

tween them established the COM
munity of sorrow and proclaimed
their alliance to make up to this
man for the evil which had been
done.
Peter Borden sat at the head of
the table, his daughter opposite.
Between them was Bob Terry. He
was dazzled by the napery, the
cleaning silver, the softness and
quietness. There came to him vivid,
soaring memory of the past three
years: the thrice-daily feeding:
marching into tremendous dining
room where agate plates were al
ready piled high with nourishing
but unpalatable food; where men
sat on hard little stools and were
denied the privilege of CONVEX
sation. Three times a day for
three years he had been fed, along
with the rest of the pack-fed and
dismissed. Meals had been horrible
things, not because the food was
not good and plentiful, but be-
cause it had been the most animal
like phase of the silent world.
There was little conversation dur
ing the meal. Habit was difficult to
shake off, and Bob had learned not
to talk Borden and his daughter
were awkward and i'll at ease.
The situation amazed Bob Terry.
Even in the old days he had never
aspired to such luxury as this.
Occasionally he had been a guest
at the house because of his friend
ship with Lois and also because
Borden had made great display of
personal interest in the lad But
his manner of living had been
modest, as befitted young man
who held a clerkship and hope for
the future. Now
Coffee was served Cigars and
cigarets were handed to Bob. He
selected a cigaret and at Borden's
suggestion they adjourned to the
soft glow of the living room and
Croesus brought their coffee.
They smoked in silence. Lois was
ON the divan and Bob sat next to
her. Peter Borden, sitting opposite,
observed them gravely. At length

The voice of the old man trailed
off. And for several minutes moth

chaotic. He had left prison with
one idea in mind: one and one

suffer as he had suffered; to scar
him with the same brand. Money!
