who had q copy Of the remarks Trotzky
was to have made in his own person by
phone, read the address. It was not q
satisfactory substitute and the audience
was restive and impatient. Finally,
telegram was read, said to have been
sent by Trotzky himself, explaining that
the connections were poor, owing to 'de-
fects OF q technical nature" Later word
was received that there had been q
disruption of the service south OF
Monterey"
Meanwhile. in the other place Of as
semblage, Toronto, DR.. Neils Bohr Of
Copenhagen, winner Of the Nobel Prize
of 1922, addressed an audience Of sew
eral hundred in large hall. He spoke
for two hours, and it is reported that not
one person in the auditorium understood
a word. His Danish accent was one diff
ficulty. His powerful voice was another.
The acoustic properties of the hall were
poor. The result was that the voice
doomed and roared, with jangle Of
syllables that were beyond Interpretation.
The subject was Light and Life" The
audience was mysti1ed. After the meet
ing reporters found a member OF the
faculty of the university under the aus
pices of which the address was given,
and obtained from him, through the
medium of DR.. Bohr's notes, q brief ex-
planation Of what he had said.
The Trotzky speech will probably reach
the American public eventually. and pos
sibly will be broadcast without flaw. The
Bohr speech will doubtless be printed.
But the two audiences will not forget
their disappointment.

Snow is friend to dormant plant life,
q menace to persons lost in woods. a
nuisance to the city dweller and q perfect
background for wildbirds at feeding
stations.
Nothing sets of the beauty Of chicka-
dee or cardinal better than this white
ness.
All birds, even the humble sparrows,
seem much larger in the snow. This Is
partly due to the fact that they have
pulled up their feathers. but also as the
result Of perfect contrast.
Those who feed the birds thus have
one Of the best reasons in the world for
liking an occasional snow, since 1t sets
forth their friends to perfection, adding
beauty to beauty.
And the birds love 1t, that is one Of
the best things about 1t. They hop
around with added gusto, even scratch
through it to get at seeds and grains on
the ground beneath the feeders.
1t is not simply matter OF making
the best Of it with them, as it often Is
with their human friends.
The birds really get great "kick"
out of snowy day.
This is shown by their chirping and
flying, much of each done for no other
reason than zest in life. It Is not dim-
cult for persons who have spent much
time watching them to realize the diff
ference between the sounds they make
through necessity and out Of sheer JOY.
Their flights, too, are different when
made just for the fun Of it, from bough
to bough, and from tree to tree, from
one side Of the garden to the other in q
pure spirit of fun out of activity. much
as healthy young persons OF the human
species out on skis in Snow-covered
rolling meadow or on the mountain side.
Feeding is very serious business for the
birds, however.
The beautiful little chickadee you see
hopping around in the snow will freeze
to death if his temperature goes below
100 degrees.
In good health 1t is several degrees
higher and must stay there to enable
the bird to live, and this whether q
blizzard is raging.
Nature has no mercy on her creatures
in this sense.
The wind Is not tempered for the
shorn lamb, really.
Fortunately for lambs, the winds are
never very severe where they live best.
There is no tempering of anything for
the wildbirds. They must do their own
tempering, which they do with fuel, If
and when obtainable.
If food is not obtainable 1t is too bad
for them.
Those householders who put out seeds
and grains, breadstuffs and scraps, Suet
and peanuts, and other good things to
eat are helping themselves as well as the
birds. They are ensuring more birds
for their gardens in Winter than in
Summer. This is great deal.
1t was exactly $50 o'clock that Thurs
day evening. The snow had been falling
a few minutes.
All the birds had gone from beneath
the feeders except five sparrows and q
pair of cardinals.
These sparrows were larger than Eng
lish sparrows and made the comical
scratching motions Of fox sparrows, but
they could not be identified as such,
owing to the failing light.
Such snow as had come down was
more sleety in nature than anything else;
it had not fallen in sufficient quantity to
afford a real background to the birds.
But the five sparrows and the two red
birds did not mind. They went after
seed as If the day were new instead Of
almost over for them. Within a few

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Still-Life Picture.

Under coverlet of soft snow,
Sheltered from icy blasts that blow,
Until a radiant sun shall shed
It's rays upon the earthly bed,
A srowdrop sleeps with nodding head.
Under the sea, far, far below,
Calm and still meath the pillows flow,
Till deep-sea diver to his quest
Bids ocean yield her loveliest,
A rare pearl knows seraphic rest.

Departed El0quence.

Departed Eloquence.
We have been taught of late to fear
The phrases, resonant and bold;
Nor sorrow that we do not hear
Great oratory, as of old.
To measurements minute we turn.
For mechanisms new we strive.
OF distant space we seek to learn.
Silent, men study and contrive.
And yet emotions deep arise.
The thought of glory still will come,
To find, beneath story-laden skies,
The heartbeat echoing to the drum!
With simple speech we are content.
We ask not that our hearts be stirred
BY powers that are eloquent,
And may bring terror with a word.

disintegration has preceded them into
Germany, where hunger, degradation
and despair impose their heavy toll upon
physical and spiritual resources already
drained of their capacity to endure.
From Germany into France the two
younger Markovs and their mother go
in search of peace and security. Paris
is overrun with Russian refugees seek

exc out an existence. And it is in France
that Michael leaves his mother and his

began in a shed on the Island of Prin-

Unreported Hours

MOSCOW, May 26 Q.N.S).
Two of three remaining planes
of the Soviet North Pole expedi.
ton which took off for the polar
camp from Rudolf Island reached
their destination today, but the
third craft was unreported hours
after tile other landed. ,-~
One plane piloted by Vasiley
Molokov, leader of the flight,
landed at 1924 a. m. with seven
other members of the expedition.
This plane, loaded with supplies,
weighed "a tons.
The second plane, piloted by A.
D. Alexeyev, also landed with
seven passengers. 1t descended 30
kilometers from the Pole, and
not on the same floe as that on
which the polar camp had been
established.
No reports were received re-

by T. P. Mazuruk and carrying
six passengers.
Each plane carried rs baskets
