I IN an alluring seeding of wonder i * vegetation the most prolific wild flower region of the world an area of pine, balsam, spruce, hemlock and tamarack that supports a greater variety of birds than any similar area anywhere in the temperate zone, dwells the year round in his hermitlike cabin, "Bill' King. "The Bini King," who twice daily for the past 1 2S years has been holding assemblies of wild partridges, rabbits, squirrels. Jays and chickadees. In this section of East Michigan, the historic region of the Michillimackinac. where Chippewa and Sioux had their playground ■ before the coming of ihe F'rench ami British. 811 King, converted by the spirit of the n gion, has, through genHe sympathy, won the confidence of ihe feathered and furred forest folk s<> that morning and evening throughout the year, they enter the clearing which fronts his homely habitat. To witn<>ss the assembly of grous* in King’s < tearing is an unusual spec- • acle like a scene from Fairyland or 'he Story Book It is a summer evening. Dusk gathers and thme is no sound el life. The environment is a marvelous diversity in nature's b auty where one w .lks but does not talk, where gimfle by ez -s cooled by the broad expanse of a blue lake pun gently through th» trees. Suddenly there is a whi’ring sound and birds are seen conn ; from all directions, j They alight at ihe edge of the cP aring and come forward in stately train their demeanor suggesting a repression and formality that indicates re - spect for the occasion and their human friend. Frolicking among the birds are rabbits, squirrels, jays and chickadees. And here they banquet unafraid, taking kernels of grain from the hand of their sympathetic friend. Scot by birth. King stowed on a ship as a boy and was thrown among the Indians by chance. He was born June 17, 1562. He wedded tht da'igh ter of a Chippewa chief when he was 16 years of age. Today he lives with his son Guy, aged 33, on the shore of Burt Lake, Cheboygan county. Michi gan, just across the lake from Indian River, where he filed a homestead in 1899. Close to King and his birds, the late General Lew Wallace author of “Beu Hur,” built his summer home, and Bill's next door neighbor in sum /ner Is Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lan- j Colors It Is ,i carhti- fact that color-blind i. per <>n- are not oiien aware <>f their • defect of vision. Even scientific men frequently fail to delect this defect in themselv es. The following is a favorite theory to account for the cause of colorblindness. The eye is capable of tour distinct color sen.-ations —blue, yellow, n d ar.d grei m These arise, however, from only two sources, each of which lias a double action, producing the sensations of two complementary colors. One of the sources of sensation corresponds to blue and yellow, the other to red and green. Most col- ' or-blind people are deficient in the latter source of sensation and can distinguish, therefore, only lilue and ; yellow, with their compounds, but : sometimes the reverse is the case. The number of persons afflicted in this way is much larger than is commonly suppu ed. The average is said to lie one in every 25 men. Women are rarely irotibh'd with color-blind-ness. Few Really Con'cniea V/lth Place in Life Perhaps we humans have no greater weakness than this: we rarely know when we are well off. We seem to lack the kind of judgment we need to convince us that we had better well enough alone, is a retleclion imwle by Grove I’atterson, in the Mobile Register. We are forever wanting to try something different, something new. Much of our path through life leads from the frying pan into the tire and out again. “I have learned," said the very wise ; St. Paul, ‘‘in whatsoever stale I am, • therein to be content.” Some comfort is to be had in the I thought that through our tendency to] change from one thing to another we occasionally hit upon improvement. But the policy we need most is tha: which leads us to make a complete and thorough job of the thing we are doing in the particular circumstances in which we find ourselves.

dis. jurist and hi: h commissioner of baseball. In this immediate section was discovered a few years ago the home of 'hat rarest of American songbirds—the Kirtland Warbler. East Michigan is the limited breeding place of this rara avis—the Holy Grail of the ornithologist. King's cabin is located in the heart of the summer playground and scores of the thousands who visit this recnational region.
