Know Protected Ducks Is Warning
To Hunters
Migratory waterfowl hunters
who are taking advantage Of the
current open season on the various
species open to legal hunting were
warned by e. v. Willard, Minneso-
ta's Commissioner of Conservation,
that it would be well to learn to
recognize the three protected wild
duck species. Failure to know the
various wild ducks may cause "em-
barrassment" with loss of time
and money" Commissioner Willard
said.
Three wild ducks granted feder-
al and state protection are the
wood duck, which has been pro-
tected for a number Of years and
whose numbers are as a result of
this protection once more on the
increase, and the ruddy and buff
flehead ducks, more recently given
this complete protection.
The ruddy duck, sometimes
known as the broad-bill or bull
neck duck, is a small, compact
bird, weighing about one and one
half pounds. Its body is comparat-
lively short, making the bird appear
chunky. It's neck is short and
thick and the bill is short, broad,
with an upturned appearance. The
plumage is dense and shiny be-
low. In the male the chestnut col
oring of the body contrasts sharp
ly with the black Of the crown and
the pure white of the face and
chin. These characteristic mark
ings can be recognized at quite a
distance. The female is plain
brownish color but the general
chunky outline is the same as that
of the male. The riddles are slow
to fly, but once in the air their
flight is rapid, the stiff, short
wings producing a buzzing sound.

F0rty-fOur million tons Of mud
have been dredged from the bottom
Of the Thames during the past twen-
ty years, carried away in barges,
and dumped in the sea. Figures like
these mean absolutely nothing to
the ordinary man, but when 1t Is
explained that this mud, turned into
bricks. would build a wall five feet
high and two feet thick round the
world at the Equator, a better idea
can be formed Of the work done by
the dredgers. Man is always NOV
ing things, especially earth and
stones, and the gross amount moved
Is simply colossal. The largest

Correct ''Noon Marks"

Four correct moon marks" are
made In a year, on the following
days: December "a, April Is, June
IA and September 1. Owing to the
inclination of the earth's axis and
its unequal movement in its orbit,
solar days very In their length. The
average solar day corresponds to
the "a hours of our clocks, which
keeps what Is called mean time.
If a clock were so constructed as
to give the real solar time for all
periods Of the year, 1t would be
observed that sometimes when the
solar clock pointed at noon, the or
binary clock keeping mean time,
would be pointing at figures be-
tween II AS and II, or at other
times between IL and 2:15. Four
times each year, however, upon the
days mentioned, the shadow of a
dial, or noon-mark, would point due
sonth at noon by the clock.

Etymologically. the term barber.
from the Latin word barba (beard).
denotes a shaver of the beard; but
1t seems that hair-cutting and shaw

occupation. Shaving is spoken Of In
Job 1870; Genesis 81 IA; Leviticus

several other Old Testament books /;
but the first place where the bar
Der is directly mentioned Is In
Ezekiel 5:1: "And thou, son Of
man. take thee a BARRIERS razor"
etc.
Figures on Egyptian and As
syrian monuments. and on some Of
the Oldest Of Chinese porcelains
show that shaving Of the beard and
head as a sign Of mourning, or sub
lection, or religious devotion, was
practiced among all these ancient
peoples.
It is plainly impossible to dis

Ducks usually stay on feeding
grounds in warm weather and out of
reach of the guns of hunters, who can
only go a certain distance from shore.
On the other hand cold, windy
weather forces the fowl into the air
and makes them easier targets, This
season the cold weather came too late.
In all probability next seasons regu-
lations will be more liberal.
THE angler desiring a change OF
fishing waters and the thrill of
catching new species of fish not found
in our Northern ATTITUDES will find
new flsherman's paradise in the waters
embracing Bermuda, the Caribbean
Sea, in which lie the islands of the
British West Indies. Practically the
whole of this territory abounds with
fish of great variety.
One hundred and sixteen different
kinds Of fish are found in Trinidad
waters, of which IS are food fishes.
King1sh and barracuda form excellent
sport.
In Jamaica tarpon abounds in the
bays and inlets, often scaling over 100
pounds, while snook. snappers and
tarpon are to be had at the mouths Of
nearly all the rivers.
Game fishing has been developed in
Bermuda only during the past l8
