Some Owls Eyesight as
Keen by Day as at Night

Owls, symbols of wisdom and OBJ
jects of superstitious dread through
the ages, are portrayed in a sympa-
thetic light in an exhaustive bulle-
tin on their behavior by Arthur
Cleveland Bent of Taunton, Mass,
and issued in Washington by the
Smithsonian institution.
Bent describes the courtship and
mating of different species of these
birds of darkness, their care of the
young, nest building and pursuit of
food. They vary from rather gentle
birds, he finds, to "tigers and wild
cats" of the feathered world, and
from fairly intelligent creatures to
some which appear stupid.
He contradicts the popular idea
that these birds can see only in the
dark. Nearly all the species have
chosen the night for their depreda-
tons and naturally have well-de-
veloped night vision, but in some
cases there is evidence that their
sight is just as keen in bright SUM-
light. The almost strictly noctur-
nal barn owl, however, seems really
bewildered in daylight, during which
it remains inactive, often soundly
asleep.
The widely distributed barred owl
has exceptionally keen eyesight by
day as well as night. It hunts only
at night, but with the pupil con-
tracted it can also see perfectly in
the brightest daylight.

tect young chicks. A sudden sharp
fall in the outdoor temperature at
night will not affect chicks in this
house because the heat will not leak
away as rapidly as it will in an UNI
insulated. house. Fuel is conserved,
thereby reducing the cost of brood
ing chicks in such an insulated
house.
Brooder houses can be kept dry
and free from drafts only by correct
ventilation. Insulating brooder
house is a long step toward getting
proper ventilation, which depends
on even temperature and the elm
nation of drafts.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is
built in the Romanesque style. It is
cylindrical and in eight stages,
which at the base are solid with a
wall arcade, the six above being
surrounded within their small-col-
umned arcades with galleries. The
highest stage has six large arches
to allow the sound of the bells to
escape. The tower is 181 feet high
and 51s feet in diameter at the
base. It is inclined 10 feet 8 inches
toward the south. About one-half
of the sinking took place during con-
struction.

DIRECT TELEPHONE SER.
VICE OPENED BETWEEN
U.S.. AND AUSTRALIA
Calls To Other Side Of World
Now Transmitted Over New
Through Circuit

Direct telephone contact between
the United States and Australia was
established recently over short wave
radiotelephone circuit between San
Francisco and Sydney. The occasion
was marked by an exchange Of greet
ings between government and tele-
phone officials over circuit linking
Washington with Sydney and Mel
bourne.
Telephone service between this
country and Australia has hitherto
been set up over two radio circuits
interconnected at London. The new
route shortens the distance by more
than 1000 miles and provides better
quality of transmission.
While the ceremonies at Washington
took place at the close of the city's
business day, beginning at $3.50 +. M,
the participants in Australia had
already started another business day
their clocks and calendars indicating
8 80 A. M. the following day. Actually
this bridging of evening and next
morning over distance OF nearly
10000 miles was accomplished by the
speakers voices in about fifth OF
second.
In Washington the ceremonies took
place at the office of the Secretary OF
State. In Australia, ceremonies were
held at Sydney in the office OF the
Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia)
Ltd; at Melbourne in the Office of the
Director General of Posts and Tele-
graphs; and at Canberra in the
Department of the Prime Minister.
In this country T. G. Miller, vice presi-
dent of The A. T. & T. Company in
charge of the Long Lines Department,
served as master of ceremonies. At
Sydney, Sir Ernest Fisk, chairman OF
the Board of Directors of Amalga-
mated Wireless (Australasia) Ltd,
acted in similar capacity.
Government officials in Washington
who spoke over the newly established
circuit included Francis B. Sayre,
Assistant Secretary of State; Stanley
M. Bruce, High Commissioner for
Australia; Hon. Frank R. McNinch,
chairman of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission; Keith Officer,
Counsellor for Australia at Washing
ton; and Jay Pierrepont Moffat, Chief
of the Division of European Affairs.
Those who participated at Sydney
we're William Morris Hughes, Minister
for External Affairs; B. N. Stevens,
Premier of New South Wales;
Thomas M. Wilson, United States
Consul General at Sydney, and Nor
man Mock, Lord Mayor of Sydney.
In Melbourne, Sir Harry Brown,
Director General of Posts and Tele-
graphs, spoke; and in Canberra,
Frank Strahan, Secretary to the
Prime Minister'S Department.
The San Francisco-Sydney circuit
is operated by The American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Amalgamated Wireless (Austral-
asia) Ltd. The circuit interconnects
all Bell and Bell connecting telephones
in the United States, Cuba and Mexico
with the Australian Post Offices
system.
On account of the shorter distance
over the direct route, the rate between
the two countries is materially less
than formerly. A three-minute con-
versation between San Francisco and
Sydney, for instance, costs $21 on
weekdays and SIS on Sundays. The
rates are slightly higher for points on
the Atlantic seaboard.

Towns Named with Numbers

Several American towns are
named with numbers, such as Six,
West Virginia; Seventy Six, Ken
lucky, and Ninety Six, South Caro-
lima. A species of fish in South
Africa, states a correspondent in
Golfers Weekly, is named Seventy
four after the "a guns on Nelson's
flagship, the Victory; and toilet
water is named 4711 after the street
address in Cologne, Germany, where
Il was first compounded.

Lighthouses Following a Bet

Everyone knows the amount Of
good done by our lighthouses, but
how many know that but for a
strange bet we would never have
had any? In ITO scientist bet a
friend that he would read a news
paper by the light of a farthing
candle at 80 feet-a seemingly inn
possible task. Taking a wooden box,
he lined the inside with mirrors so
arranged as to form a concave lens.
He then put. the candle in position
and, by its magnified light read his
paper. From that bet came our
modern lighthouses.

WHEN you plan your menu
w for st. Patrick's Day
w luncheon, supper-party, or
even family meal on March 18th
bear in mind that these must
be no ordinary, everyday foods. st.
Patrick was no ordinary person, If
we are to believe legends con-
corning his life.
Some of the less we'll known
Of these legends are as fascinating
as the oft-told tale of his routing
the snakes from Ireland. There is
the story of st. Patrick as little
lad. Playing in the snow one cold
winters day, he managed to break
loose some small Jumps of ice. He
hurried home to show them to his
nurse, of whom he was very fond.
She came grumbling into the room
saying surely to goodness he could
have spent his time more profit
ably by bringing in a bit of wood
for the fire instead of cold ice
which would soon melt and mess
up the whole place. st. Patrick
felt very sad to have displeased
his nurse, so he spread his little
hands over the Jumps Of ice, and
10! they suddenly burned into a
roaring bonfire.

bed she begged for pot of honey.
Nothing else in the world would
help her, she said. But no honey
could be found in the whole of the
village. Little Patrick took a
pitcher of water, and by passing
his hands over it, changed it into
the finest honey - food which
saved the old woman's life.
Let us see if we can borrow a

hands over everyday foods in such
