The number of owls, in their turn, will be determined by the number of available mice and other food organisms, as well as by the severity of the adverse circumstances that cause elimination of the less fit among the fledglings brought into the world. The vital chain of connections is sometimes astonishingly long and intricate.

These cases, however, were not used for taking photographs; Billie thought them more like some kind of condensed rapid-fire guns. Before Powart got within ear-shot, Mona leaned toward Fort. "This is my fiance," she said with an evident effort; and when she straightened up her hands were trembling. Fort took it astonishingly well.

The grave faced German opened it, ushering in an astonishingly lovely girl; tall, most fashionably attired and with a manner of eager anxiety. Both men arose. "Considering that you are under twenty-five," said Pendleton, "you are remarkably prompt in keeping your engagements, Edyth." But the girl did not answer his smile.

She wore a white dress and a long glittering necklace. What with her clothes, and her arch delicate face, which showed exquisitely pink beneath hair turning grey, she was astonishingly like an eighteenth-century masterpiece a Reynolds or a Romney. She made Helen and the others look coarse and slovenly beside her.

This substance so called to which we have above alluded, and which is sold in our bird marts under that name, is a viscid, sticky preparation, closely resembling a very thick and gummy varnish. It is astonishingly "sticky," and the slightest quantity between the fingers will hold them together with remarkable tenacity. What its effect must be on the feathers of a bird can easily be imagined.

B. The condition of the cities and especially of their slum districts is alarming, for The number of immigrants is increasing astonishingly, inasmuch as, a. 8,385 immigrants arrived in 1820. b. 788,992 immigrants arrived in 1882. c. 1,026,499 immigrants arrived in 1905. Two-thirds of the total number of immigrants in 1902 settled in the cities.

It was the eager questioning of a modest, affectionate boy who curbs his natural effervescence of greeting like a well-trained dog. The tone was astonishingly young, a quiet, husky boy-voice. "Damn you, Pete!" was snarled at him for answer. "Haven't you got my boot mended yet?"
