tlnguishable with the naked eye were clearly
brought out. The high temperature Of the lime
light was shown by burning piece of steel watch

OHIO QUAIL LAw-As it is generally thought
that the law prohibiting the shooting Of quail is
off after November lst the following extract Of
the State statute is published:
"Whosoever, in any pace catches, kills Injuries,
or pursues with such intent any quail (Or Virginia
partrdge), OF any prairie chieSen, before the Q5)
fifteenth day OF November, 1880, or disturbs or
destroys the eggs Of any such birds, shall be fined
not more than $50 or less than SO, or be imprson-
ed not more than thirty days or both. Act Feb.
ruary 81, 1869"
Possibly there ia a later law but research has
failed to reveal it. Turkey may be shot from
November 1 to January Is pheasant and teal
from September to January 1, The wild goose
and bTant are not protected by law, but their
nests are as well as all kinds Of ducks The
penalty Is a fine for each offense Of not more
than S25 nor less than 50, or to be imprisoned not
more than thirty days, or both.
