of C3tassblowers'.Skits,
the var is malting an extraordinary
an for glass eyes ---so many are
the fighting men who lose one or both
of their own, eyes at the front.
When a .apart is totally blinded he
usually lets it go at that; but if one
aye be lost he gets an artificial one, to
nevoid disfigurement.
We in this country do note know
liow to make artificial eyes. It is
really a fine art, and may be said to
represent the highest development of
11:e glassblowers' skill.
The beginning of an artificial. eye
is a small glass tube with a bulb in
the middle. One end is cut off,. and
the opening sealed -lith the blowpipe,
leaving a hollow bulb on the end of
a lube, .*
The workman, of course, cars enlarge
the bulb as he pleases by blowing into
the tube. '.Phis he does gradually and
as `- intervals, while:applying melted
glass/of , different colors to the ex-
ta'emity of the bulb.
First he puts on a circular. spot of
blue or brown for the itis, and in the
centre adds a black dot for the" pupil.
By artistic manipulation he `counter- 1
feits the delicate effects of coloration
observed "in :the halums eye.
The process cannot be more definite-
ly described because it.is art work, and t
not merely a mechanical performance, 1

Our training in Egypt consisted chief-

The Turks, not knowing we were so
near,; remained tinder cover, and we
reached the edge of the miniature val-

them. Not a horse hesitated. We took
the flying leap straight down among
the surprised Turks and, began our
work. Half a. hundred of the enemy
lay dead when the remainder took to
their heels and fled. We gave chase
until we lost touch with the remainder
of our force and decided to remain in
the open for a time until we got or-

slimes Regarding MIovemeuts of,
Birds Made by Aviators.
Some interesting observations on `
v the movements of birds at `great
heights have be' n made by French
aviators. - It has been now establish-
ed, according to Henry Wood:the
United Press correspondent with the i
French armies, that swallows in flying
maintain an average. altitude of 700
yards. Wild ducks, on the other hand,
prefer a greater' height, and stick to
an altitude of 1,800 yards: Green
plover maintain at all times an even
greater altitude, and in March,. dur-
ing their period of migration, the,
French aviators have met them at all
height of 2,150 yards. Wild ducks in'
flight are particularly interesting.
Every one knows that these birds al-
ways fly in single file behind their
i
Iealers, but it is now proved that the
wild ducks execute every movement ;t
with a wonderjful simultaneous and de-
gree of precision. ' 171, for; example, the
leading duck at the head of the file
changes the position of a' wing :in or-
der
r
der. -to fly either higher or lower, all.
of the others make the same `move- from,
xne'a t, appy eptly; at the same moment.

Strikes have broken out in Augs-

national service department's attempt
to make people work 'on Sunday the
sante as week days. A compromise is
now being tried. Sunday work heece-
forth, including rest hours, will only
cover six hosms. Youthful workers of
church. The Baymian emnition manu-
facturers also agree to limit work to
fifty-four hours a week for which
fifty-six and one-half 'hours' pay will
be iven. It is promised that Sunday
