For fifty years he killed on an ..xerage about 100 hawks and owls a season. The housewives of his com munity gave him a feast for every efreshed '-Bwk or r,wl he killed in appreciation .a ma eerx Loss. One day, when a youngster, Mr. j I'or'er saw a "blue-darter," a virions little , hn ken hawk, catch a quail and. in turn, xvaa attacked by five hen hawks, all ..f xvhh'h xvere after the bird ' he had killed. The smaller hawk, hem har I pressed dashed Into a ditch, (loi ded out again, and lit in the thick hian.hea of a tree, thereby foiling his assailants. Some time later he saxv several larger hawks trying to taka a whlte-wlngei woodpecker from a hiiiy dnrter The outcry of the cap tured bird brought the bU haxvks.

This is the beat time of the year for observing that faint, mysterious), pyramid of light which extends up ward from the western horizon after th sun haa fully act. Jt cannot ba seen except when the sky is very clear and the moon absent; the ob server should therefore look for it during the second and third weeks of the month. It is probable that this light is sunlight reflected from a great lens-shaped swarm of little particles which surround the sun and extend beyond th orbit of the earth, but there ar also several other theories in regard to It SOUTHERN OOTTOX MXIA.

Paths of comets which pans, near the planet. wonderful changes In form and structure. It Is hoped that when these have been carefully studied our knowledge of the nature of comets may be greatly advanced. Already It la recognized that this comet shines principally by Its own light, although doubtless composed of an Immense swarm of small particles, there are few of these which are dark until lit up by the light of the sun. An other most interes'ting result Is that though great clouds of radiant mat ter were driven off from the head of the comet, their motion was very probably not due to light pressure, as has been quite generally believed, because their velocity did not In crease as they receded, but actually seemed to slightly diminish. It seems probable that the wonderful reoulslvs forces whose action forms the tails '. 7 St . 40 , - T , w 10O 1M . - 16 - i .' lit US 0 , 121 '. in. - its M 36 - IDS - 11J . 1 - 133 ' - 91 - 101 - 100 110 121 - 10S - 104 160 130 - 101 150 - - 95 - 130 - SS 70 73 95 9S 61 68 - 121 128 -HO 102' 160 72 ait too - 240 - 131 70 75 - 100 - S4 - 71 - S lab lSSVs - 1 - 11S - SS lag - 100 165 170 - uo 1S5 1SSH - SI 125 -100 - 94 97 90 96 - 138 100 105 140 77 41 2Vi - 1M - 226 75 - - 100 - 104 10 115 126 - 106 113 121 09 102 110 - - :c - 1M - 116 71 8SH - ins 126 156 120 156 99 100 - 128 175 133 171 m 140 146 - 170 too - 97 121 136 1:0 99 107 130 90 93 218 t im IT - vr. - 1:5 74 u; sj tin - a w; 10s - 108 K 97 - 108' 76 - 1S. 691.. -. s-o. iL "Sa. 1. in 111 in . .ii i7t?rr - -.
