"Frigate Pelican" Secures Its Food
Chiefly by Forcing Its Weaker
Brethren to Disgorge.
The frigate bird, also culled the man-of-war
hawk und the "frigate pelican,"
Is a sea bird, mo called from Its attacks
on other birds. This bird, tt ry large
und with black plumage, Is unable ot
very powerful and rupid flight. It
sometimes measures ten feet from tip
to tip of its extended wings. On ac
count of Its Immense extent of wing
and its dashing habits, it has been
culled the swiftest bird that sweeps
the seas.
The frigate bird la a tropical sea
bird of two species. The larger ranges
all round the world within the tropics f
the Smaller is found only near the
eastern seas from Madagascar to Mo
luccas and southward to Australia.
Both species breed In lurge colonies,
building their nests on Tocks, high
cliffs or lofty trues on uninhabited
Islands. The birds often fly far out
to sea, but most of the time they re
main near shore.
The frigate bird's aerial evolutions
are extremely graceful and It soars to
great heights. It is said never to dive
for its prey, but to seize fishes only
when they appear at the surface or
above It. Flying tishes form a great
part of Its food. This bird of prey also
pursues gulls and terns and eats the
Ash It forces them to disgorge. The
male acquires under Its bill a bright
scarlet pouch Which Is capable of inflation.

Financial Institutions of Yorktown,
Virginia, Do Business Among His
toric Surroundings.
Within -!0 miles of where the first
English settlement In America was
made at Jamestown Is the scene
where Capt. John Smith records the
story of his rescue by Pocahontas, the
daughter of the Indian chief, Powha
tan. Within a circle of 20 miles Is
to be found the oldest Protestant
church in America ; the kitchen where
Martha Washington cooked in good
colonial style; the college which has
graduated three presidents; Bruton
church, In which more men of his
torical importance have worshiped
than In any other church In America
und Yorktown, where Cornwallls
surrendered to Washington.
Although Yorktown has a popula
tion of lea than two hundred. It has
two banks, both of which are working

buildings used for banks in America.
One of these banks, operating under
state and trust company laws, Is

1716. Mere the ships for Philadelphia

Undue Despondency Can Be Cured by
Attention to Diet and Cultiva
tion of Optimism.
fit of the "bines" Is as much an
Intoxication as a drunken spree, and
a bad attack may disqualify a person
for wise and efficient action us thor
oughly as alcoholic intoxication.
A person subject to the "blues"
should In his most lucid and optimistic
moments resolve to make no impor
tant decision, and to set a special
guard over his conduct, while under
the Influence of the flood of poisons
to which the condition Is due.
The real cure for the "blues" lies
in prevention by removing causes.
The foul breath and coated tongue
noteil in these cases ure ubundant evi
dence of (he poisonous origin of the
"blues." The adoption of a polson
free diet Is almost invariably fol
lowed quickly by a change In the men
tal state.
It Is Important, then, that we culti
vate optimism and forcing the mind
into optimistic channels of thought.
This can best be accomplished by
reading optimistic authors and talking
with optimistic people. An excellent
plan Is to set oneself the task of cur
ing some other neurasthenic suffering
from his pessimism, by deluging hiin
with optimistic Ideas and expressions.
Adopt a diet that will introduce poi
son free foods Into the dietary and as
sist the elimination organs In carry
ing out as rapidly as possible the poi
sons that may be formed in the nat
ural body functions. These things are
not miraculous, but can be adopted
into one's daily life with the utmor
ease.

Panama Canal Locks.
There are few things more Interest
ing to the average traveler than to
pass through the great locks of the
Panama canal. The vessel enters very
slowly and us she does lines ure taken
aboard leading to electric motors or
"mules," which keep her In the center
of the lock. Then the great gates at
the rear sw ing together and the water
Is turned Into the enclosure thus
formed. Looking over the side of the
steamer one sees a great bubble of
water rise from the bottom, then A
second and third appear until finally
tin- whole surface of ihe lock Is boil
ing. The pressure Is so great that
often Bah sucked Into the drains that
leail from the (latum lake, are drawn
In und thrown several feet Into the
ulr. When the proper level Is finally
reached the gate ahead of the vessel
open und the "mulei start forward,
dragging the vessel free from the lock
before she moves abend under her
own power.
ARMENIANS NEED TOYS
Children's Horror-Numbed Minds need
Stimulus of Playthings.
Thousands of little Armenian chil
dren have forgotten how to laugh ami
play. Many never knew how. Starva
tion, massacre and horrors beyond
description have been their lot. In
the orphanages and at the relief sta
tions they ait listless and solemn,
never smiling, never laughing, making
no attempt to play, for they do not
know how.
These pitiable little ones need not
only food and clothes they need toys.
With toys they may learn to play and
smile and laugh. Their horror-numbed
minds need the stimulus of play-things.
The diacarded toys of American
children are called for by the Near
East Relief organization. These may
be the means of diverting the minds
ot the little Armenian war-waifs from
the memories of massacre and suf
fering too horrible for description.
Help these little ones to forget what
they have seen and suffered by send
ing them the toys which have been
cast aside ay your own klddiea.
Picture books, post cards, balls,
blocks, crayons, cut-outs, paint boxes,
dolla, paper dolls, kindergarten ma
terial, simple mechanical toys, etc.,
are asked for by the relief workers in
Armenia.
When gathering up your bundle of
clothing for the relief ship, don't for
get the. to?.
If a local Bnndle Day has been an
rounced, give then; If none Is planned
.or, send by parcel post to Near Kast
Belief Bundle Station, Portland, Ore.

the co'obratlon of the day), or Shrove

Mobs Shouting for Clothes.
Mrs. Kate ('lough Rambo, of Baker,
Oregon, returned Near East Relief
worker, tells a graphic story of the
distribution of a shipment of old
clothes received at Batoum in Trans
caucasia. She says:
"I did up bundles of clothing, each
containing a dress, a skirt, a Jacket or
coat, intending them for distribution
among the women. I took Kappidles
(a native assistant) and went in the
Ford truck with great bags of these
bundles. We drove into the yard at '
Petoeva Barracks. We took out sev
eral bags and weir U I a ra, Kappidiea
stood by the bags while I carried the
bundles to corners where I saw they
were practically without clothing. The
first thing 1 knew, a woman snatched
a bundle out of my hand; then came
another and another. I called Kap
pidiea to come away, as they were 1
turning into a mob. He and another
assistant grabbed Ihe baga and wa
went down anothtr staira, the mob
Following. We Jum.ed into the car and
had to hold back the mob with sticks.
Where the sticks came from I nevsr
can tell.
"The crowd grabbed, they screamed,
they fought.
"They would have pulled me out of !
the car, but the chauffeur backed into
the street and we tore away. After
wards we returned and gave the
clothes to the head mun to distribute
to his most needy cases, but they
broke the window to his room aud
grabbed the bundles. Still, arter all,
I have the consolation that the man Is
said to have had when someone stole
his Bible It would doubtless do good."
Weight of Air.
Until very recently nobody knew
how much air weighed.
We cannot see the air, and. except
when the wlud blows, we do not feel
It. Hence it seems to ua to have al
most no substance.
Yet It ia a rather substantial fluid.
V. lien U move.-, at a rule of one huu
dred miles an hour it uproots great
forest trees and throws the walrs
f the ocean into turmoil. If our
bodies were empty of air the pressure
of the atmosphere surrounding us
would crush us to an Immediate pulp.
A room ten fevt long, teu feet wide
aed ten feet high contains 73 pounds
ef air.
