- I SUCH IS LIFE—Pop ViD Be Pop Wi4j World Beating Path to Door of Bird Paradise Keeper of Aviary Makes Pets of Rare Kinds. Vancouver, B. C.—True to its pro pensity for beating a path to the doorway of the innovator, the world is swinging from its wonted course to reach the door of Charles E. Jones, of Vancouver, whose bird paradise is the only thing of its kind in the world. This unique aviary, where 50 va rieties of small birds are raised “by hand," is situated in a small back yard, and the approaching vis itor can hear the orchestra long be fore he is able to see the musi cians. This to guide him to the spot When Mr. Jones established his aviary in 1930 he was returning to an early love. He was born in Eng land fifty-eight years ago, and as a boy revealed his gifts as a natur alist He used to amaze the grown ups by keeping such groups at pets as a magpie, a Jackdaw, a pair of ptgeocva. a foa terrier, a Persian cat and a Belgian hare all together la aa oadeoure. And they didn't debit MARATHON WINNER Today he numbers his feathered friends in the hundreds. Besides hosts of canaries, he has dozens of varieties of native small birds, and many importations. All of the birds are quite fear less. They swarm over Mr. Jones, his three sons, his dog and visitors. The robins tweak the lobe of your ear when told to “ring the bell." The meadow lark lies on his back and uses his claws in a sham boxing match with his master. The birds pry open your lips with their beaks to see if there are peanuts between your teeth. The Lady Amherst cock pheas ant-aristocrat and wildest thing of the pheasant tribe—eats nonchalant ly from your hand without the for mality of an introduction. The diamond sparrow, native of Australia and'UOsjgJld that in his native home he must be killed to be seen at close range, lights on your nose and peers impudently at you, his head on one side.

BARRETT There would be no great art, or music, or literature without “the si lences." In hours of quiet Retire ment come the world’s greatest inspirations. Rob- e r t Browning wrote a fine phrase: “Stung by the splendor of a sudden thought," —but the mood which woos the "sudden thought" finds its creative power in solitude. So, there can be no truly great character without the ministry of silence. Hours of de tachment from ordinary duties.

"Silence la the ecstatic bliss of souls, that by Intelligence converse ” Silence links us with t infinite. The reactions of silence, which may vary in different persons, de pend upon individual interpretation. If great silences bring us nothing but loneliness and despair, if no hopeful and encouraging voice speaks to us from the vast solitude of space, if our introspection makes us more rebellious and leaves us in a state of self-pity, as it did Job of old who after seven days of silence, cursed the day in which he was bom, then certainly we have erred in our interpretation of the ministry of silence. If we have allowed fear to dominate our emotions and will, then our thoughts have been cen tered upon ourselves as victims and not as victors.
