"Tharks for giving me your time." O'Day said gruffly: "My time's yours, eny time you ask for it. By the way, lad, tomorrow's my day off. Would you come up to dinner to- morrow night?

The metropolitan E many fine feeding grounds for the birds. They swarm above the harbor, swooping down to its waters for dead fish or pieces of refuse and fcllowing 'in the wake of vessels to pick up | scraps thrown overbiard by the ship's cook. Marshes in the Jersey mexd- ows, streams in suburban areas,:are i stocked with delicacies that tempt I the gull appetite. It must be admitted | that the gull, picturesque as he may | be when hovering with motionless | wings above a vessel, is a stavenger by nature. City dumps provide food the gull does not despise; he brings {man able assistance in the cleaniug {up of waste in near-by waters. But the gull is a wanderer and traveler whose peregrinations have: no limit. He may summer in Huc- son's 'Bay or Icéland, and Winter . along the Great Lakes, in Yucatan or even in the Mediterranean. The North Atlantic is an important field for his tours. Whe) an ocean-going vessel, or a lishing schooner, sails | out of our harbor, swarms. of gulls-- especially the little kittiwake, with its graceful 'black legs--follow astern and it is believed that they some- times travel in this manner straight across the Atlantic. Liirds markel as nestlings in England have been dig- covered as adults on thi: side of the Atlantic, and soma raised in Prussia have been captured off the coast of Mexico. Tha large Glaucous gull, or Burgo- master, often ventures southward as 2 far as the New England coast, 'the Great Lakes, and the Niagara River; and the Black-backed Gull fregentiv visits the seacoast, but seldom goes far iu:and, * * The herring gull, most often has his home--if it can be called a home --generally on some iittle islana off Labrador. To such a place, where. there is abundant food in the form ° of cod, caplin, clams and sea urchins, he goes in the Spring to find his mate and build a nest of twigs, seaweed, * | grass or moss. Three eggs are th: | ordinary lay and but one brood is ° ! raised in 'a season. While herring gulls sometimes steal one another's eggs, as do ravens and black-backed gulls, their worst enemy, until re- cent years, has been the professional "eggers," who ca.re in ships to make a business of gathering gulls" eggs. some years ago Canada and the United States made an agreement by which this pra-tice was ended and . every summer the Dominion sends its patrol boat back and forth along the coast. There is a feeding trick of the gulls which shows their intelligence. When fish are scarce they have to feed on sea urchins, clams or periwinkles. These shell fish can be caught. only at low tide and are hard to get out of their shells. The gull, therefore, takes the clam in its bill and hovers high above a flat rock. Letting it go, the bird hasyto feilow it down in a hurry, lest another of the species, 'or a raven or saddleback get there first. Sometimes several atlempis are necessary before the target is struck and the shell is broken. a Another Leaning Tower While) the Leaning Tower of Pita is the most famous "monument" of its kind in the world, ii isn't the only one. St. Moritz, where devotees of winter sports are now gathering, can boast of a leaning tower of its own. One of the sights of this beauti- fully situated Swiss village, now cele- brated all over the globe, is the tow- er of the old chucch, which has a very pronounced slant. It dates from 1573, and is the only part of the old church that is now standing. The most famous toboggan run in the world, the Cresta, is one of the big attractions of St. Moritz. It is three-quarters of a mile long and the distance «has been govered in fifty- nine seconds, or at very nearly the speed cf an express train. Then there is the skating. Some of the finest skating in the world can ° be seen at St. Moritz, and the place is worth visiting for that alone. mt etme Rais Spots Removed Rain spots on fine fabries can be removed by dry brushing, Fasten - the spotted part of the garment over : the ironing board and pin it securely in position.
