ThSport Wliloh th Hmort 'i J Bt lion TaUtn Up. !f. NOT polo, or tenuis, or golf, or fox hunting or yachting or horse racing none of these Is the most "swagger" of nil sports just now, but tho noble nnd an cient sport of falconry. After being a sport which was In England more popular even than fox hunting, fal conry died out nnd was forgotten. Now It has been revived ngnin, nnd before long It may cross the ocean nnd we may have the hen yards of Long Isl nud endangered by circling jcrfulcons, peregrines, goshawks or sparrow hnwks. But no kestrels, nnd you would bo of true and good form, for by the law passed by William the Conquer or, Edward III.. Henry VIII. nnd good Queen Hess, the kestrel Is the linwk assigned by law to n knave or servant, .while to royalty belonged the Jerfal con, to tho nobility tho peregrine, to the yeoman the goshawk and to a priest the sparrow hawk. In England now most falconers hunt with the peregrine, always a populnr hawk there, and one which Is getting more and more rare along the Urltish const. It builds Its nest in some almost in accessible niche of a rocky cliff, nnd an expert and bold cllu'.bcr Is required to ecnln the eyrie and take tho young for training. If hawking becomes pop ular In this country It wlU be rather liard on tho person who has just learned to say mashlc, clock, fore, tee, brassey, etc., to have to go to work and burn tho midnight gas learning all the terms of falconry, from cop ing, crabbing, crenneo, crop, down to wait on, weathering and ynrnk. Ono term of falconry we have with us to this day In rather common uso but misapplied. That Is the word mews. England and In this country one aetlmes sees a lane of private sta- called a mews, such as Washing- iMews, just north of Washington quare In this city. When a Lawk moults she Is said In the "patter" of life sport of falconry to "mew" and wmkh mk abowt 16 fly palcons hooded Mil Xtylllf ' ON THEIR BLOCW..

The young hnwks nre brought to their future home nnd turned loose In n shed open lu front, but roofed In against bad weather and with sides ami a back to It. blocks of wood nro pegged Into the ground. These blocks serve tho birds for roosts nnd for dluiug tables. On these blocks the falconer places tho food for tho young birds, consisting of fresh meat, dead rabbits or birds. Tho hnwks soon lenrn to fly and In a short time can be seen sonrlug nhove their homo nnd swooping over the surrounding country. Although before long they can fly many miles, they nlwnys re- turn at feeding time. This Is the most anxious time for the falconer. lie must know just when to stop these excursions for liU young hawks, for if ho gjvei Uiem liberty, too long the Irak natural Instinct of tho bird will as sert themselves nnd she will stoop to some natural quarry, such ns pheas ant or n pigeon. If the begins to do this she will feel her strength nnd gradually desert her home nnd go fo0 aging for herself. Another danger when the young hawks nre flying free In that they tuny be shot by some gnnipkeeer, who takes the bird for a wild falcon. To obviate such an un happy ending, bell are attached to the hawk's leg which, by their warn ing sdiind, give notice to the game keeper tlint the hawk I from a neigh bor's falconry. llefore the falcon learns to forage for herself the falcon er snares his bird nnd hoods her, that I. Places over her head a can of lenth er to bind Iter. Then the hawk I se cured by a lenther thong to the peg which holds to the ground Its feeding block nnd roost, and the second part of Its education begins. The falconer takes tho birds out separately and ex- FIEI.D-CADQE. WITH erclse them. A long string Is tied to the jess (a lenther strip about eight Inches long which nlways remains around tho falcon's leg) nnd tho bird Is encouraged to lly lu circles over the falconer's head. When she gets to circling around pretty lively a piece of meat, or a dead pigeon Is thrown to the ground, nnd, ns tho hawk has not been fed, she stoops to It. The falconer Is constantly with his hawks, hnndllng them and dissipating their natural fear of mnn, nnd every effort Is mndo to get them accustomed to tho presence of strangers. This Is called "mnnnlng" a hnwk. Finally tho education of the hawk Is so far advanced that she Is tried afield. The hawker, being In tho field, unhoods the falcon, which Is sitting on tho gauutleted glove ho wears on his left hand, slips the lensh from the Jess, give the bird a toss, and away she soars In widening circles until she AFTBn A PART- lttDOE. spies tho quarry, when sho swoops down upon it and kills It. A piece of meat Is given to tho bird as a reward, and she Is taken up and hooded ngnln. When several hnwks nro taken out for Ueld work they nre carried on a wood' en frame called n "cadgu" until tho falconer gets ready to lly them. A falconer after-a successful day will bring back home a bag of pheasants, hnres, rabbits, quails, partridges, etc., which will repay htm for the trouble he has had In training his falcons.even It tho sport Itself did not-whlch it does. In North Africa falconry has been for a vast number of years a favorite sport. Ancient Egyptian carvings seem to show that It existed In the dnys of the Tharoahs. At this day the Redoulns fly their fnlcons and go following them over tho sandy plains of Tunis n ud Tripoli on tboir fleet horses. The relntroduction of falconry as a sport Into Europe has been so successful that International meetings aro now held. In a recent contest of falcons nt Spa, Ilelglum, several prizes were taken by the hawks belonging to C, E. Ilndclyffe, an Englishman, who devoted much time to tho sport His hawks are especially well trained, and were much admired at the meeting In Belgium. Ho has tho advantage of an opeu country around his home at Warehnin, In Dorset, so thnt when game Is flushed the falcons have a fair chance of striking their quarry. It should be observed that It Is the fo mnlo hawk which Is employed In fat com-y. Valeous are found In almost ail porta of the world, and peregrlnei Klif igf Iff enn be bought In thl country nnJ trained If the sport of hawking ever crosses the ooenn, nnd It Is likely to.

London Commercial In telligencer. STUDY IN SALT. Extracted From tlia Octant and Itollai! Into a Ilia Bala. Tho London Dally Express says Iloughly speaking, If you take the salt out of sea water you deprive it of a thirtieth of its weight. On this basis one-thlrtleth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world Is salt. and as salt and water bulk about the same we mny estimate also that, by bulk, one-thlrtleth of the hugo mass of tho oceans Is pure salt. What doe this bring us to? Taking the 130 odd million square miles of tho five oceans to nverngo a mllo and a half deep, we hnvo in them alone 200 million cubic miles of salt water. A thirtieth of this should give us the bulk of tho salt contained In tho great waters of tho globo. Hounding the figures we get some thing llko seven million cubic miles of salt. If It were all taken out and spread over tho surface of the six con tlnents they would bo covered with Its snowy powder to a depth of twice the height of St. Taul's. To put It another way. If all tho earth were suit water there would be enough of tho flavoring principle In It to make two moons of solid salt but very llttlo smnller than our present satellite. ' THS SALT IN TUB OCEANS.
