White as a Light Carrier, The “carrying power” of white in inlight is illustrated by the gulls that Ee and cry above the North and oep st Rivers. When their breasts are aly toward the sun they can readily be seen as moving spots of white a mile away, but directly that they shift position, so as to present their brown or gray backs to the sun, they dis- appear as completely as a candle flame under the extinguisher. —San Fran. cisco Chronicle. ce The man who believes only half he hears generally gets along pretty well if he selects the right half. —Puck.
