A notorious biru bandit is the skua, a large robber gull which lives by cunning. Found on our northern seas, observes a writer in Tit-Bits Magazine, and nesting on Scotland's wild moors and the adjacent is lands, it will not take the trouble to search for food. It prefers to follow a flock of gulls, and when one secures a beakful of food or snaps up a fish, the skua gives chase and worries the smaller bird until it drops its prey. Then the robber pounces to enjoy a stolen meal. In the world of plants we find many species which live upon their neighbors. The mistletoe is a para site upon trees, such as the apple and poplar; the ivy climbs up forest trees, driving its roots into the bark and obtaining sustenance. But one of the most interesting is the dodder. This plant is little known, al though it is found in abundance in many parts, particularly on heaths and moors. On furze commons we sometimes see a bush which has the appearance of being partly cov ered with a mass of fine crimson twine. If ■ ok clo'ely we see that at into along the twine there are little bunches of what at first appear to be bundles of small knots, but they are clusters of diminutive flowers. Botanists maintain that in the dis- tant past the dodder fought for its living, but as ages passed it became more and more dependent upon others, and at last joined the ranks of shiftless plants that live entirely upon the hosts on which they settle. _____________ Johann Ludwig Leichner Father of Grease Paint As the father of grease paint, Johann Ludwig Leichner merits the gratitude of every actor and actress born in the last hundred years.

Imagine, then, the actress' joy at getting from Leichner a scientific grease paint that not only kept her face cool, but was proof against the most tearful cataract. From earliest times, women have painted their features. Kohl, a powdered antimony, served to bring luster to the eyelashes of Egyptian sirens at Cleopatra's court; many also used henna to improve their hair. Characteristically. Roman matrons copied these allurements, adding one of their own—bleaching the hair. Tudor actresses kept their secret» in a well-equipped make-up box, called the "sweet coffer.” Later came the Puritans, castigating this magic and seeking to punish as witches all women convicted of using artificial aids to heautv.
