Prizes From French Riflemen. 
Word has been received from France to the effect 
that that Government has presented to the National Rifle 
Association of America a Sevres vase as a special prize 
to be competed for by the riflemen of America at the 
coming International rifle shooting competition to be 
held at Camp Perry. 
The prize is offered in the name of the Minister of 
War of France bv the riflemen of France to their Amer¬ 
ican comrades The National Rifle Association of 
America will probably assign this prize as suggested by 
France, to the American rifleman making the highest 
score in the International individual match with the 
army rifle. In addition to the above, the French Shoot¬ 
ing Society has offered six cups for prizes for these 
matches. 
France will be represented by both a rifle and re¬ 
volver team, which teams expect to arrive in this country 
on or about Aug. 15. 
Fooled by a Bird. 
Since birds frequenting flowers for honey 
or insects are apt to get their heads covered 
with pollen, and since the pollen of different 
flowers varies in color, a bird may become yel¬ 
low-headed, red-headed, blue-headed, etc., ac¬ 
cording to season. This circumstance led to a 
curious mistake in the case of a New Zealand 
bird, a honeysucker and a haunter of flowers. 
In the early summer it visited most frequently 
the flowers of the native flax, and later in the 
year fed chiefly on the fuchsia. The pollen of 
the former is red, and of the latter blue. Hence 
in the early summer the bird appeared with a 
red head and was named the red-headed honey- 
seeker. But when, later in the year, it went to 
the fuchsia, its head was stained blue, and it 
was called the blue-headed honeyseeker. 
Thus for a long time this bird was thought 
to be of two distinct species, and only a year 
or two ago was it found that the “red-headed” 
and the “blue-headed” were one and the same, 
and that the real color of the head was blackish 
brown. 
Plumage Amendment to Tariff Law. 
The tariff bill passed by the House of Rep¬ 
resentatives contains the following proviso to 
the paragraph fixing a duty on feathers and 
downs : 
Provided, That the importation of aigrettes, 
egret plumes or so-called osprey plumes and the 
feathers, quills, heads, wings, tails, skins or 
parts of skins, of wild birds, either raw or 
manufactured, and not for scientific or educa¬ 
tional purposes, is hereby prohibited; but this 
provision shall not apply to the feathers or 
plumes of ostriches, or to the feathers or plumes 
of domestic fowls of any kind. 
This must now be voted on by the Senate.
