How the EsquimauN Hunt Rein



Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka is con-
Stream series of papers descriptive of his
hunting adventures while on his Arctic
Franklin Search Expedition. He gives this
account of the Esquimaux mode Of hunting
reindeer:
Another plan much followed by those ma
tiyes throughout the Arctic not provided with
firearms Is TO establish line OF stone monu-
ments at about fifty to hundred yards inter-
val along the crest of some prominent ridge,
often two and three miles in length, which
runs obliquely toward and terminates In the
waters edge Of some large lake or wide river
A sharp lookout is kept from some available
point, and II n herd of reindeer II found feed
ing or walking within the acute angle formed
by the shore line and ridge brlstling with
stone cairns, the natives engaged In the chase
deploy into skirmish line sufficiently long
to close the mouth OF this angle and walk
slowly toward the reindeer, their bows and ar
rows or spears and their kidkS Qight skin
canoes) being carried along or concealed In
some convenient place near the waters edge.
The herd, seeing the slow approach of their
enemies, trot leisurcly away until they come
within sight of the rock monuments, which
have been made TO initiate the human form as
be surrounded on the land side, they take to
the water as the only means OF escape left
them. No sooner is the herd fairly in, than
the agile natives are IN hot pursuit, with their
k1dkS flying through the water, and rapidly
oyertaking the bewildered animals, they dis
patch them with arrows and spears, and haul
their carcasses on the shore to be butchered.
This sport SIS not without Its dangers, as
oftentimes wounded animal or belligerent
buck seeing flight impossible, with swinging
horns and plunging hoofs, turns so swiftly on
his pursuer that he succeeds in tearing the
fragile ksdhto pieces, and the wrecked Esqui-
maux, unable to swim, browns II he Is not
promptly rescued by some near neighbor or
manages TO float on the wreck OF his boat until
help arrives. 1t Is q singular fact that a herd
OF reindeer, so the natives say, will repeatedly
Craze right through this line OF cairns without
any further notice than a few suspicious
glances at them as they pass by, but the min.
ute moving figures force them against
these stationary ones their suspicion is
raised to pitch high enough
to make them prefer the water rather
than TO trust them. Yet this is not very hard
to comprehend II one knows the almost half
Gmphibious nature OF the Arctic deer. l have
seen them,when taking up q line of march
wade and swim right through a deep lake thai
interposed itself in their direct course rather
than 10 60 around II, although this would moi
have exacted marked detour, which fact,
imagined, must have been as patent TO the
deer as 1t was TO myself And the EsqulmauS
tell me OF even bolder deeds. When pursued
and ''cornered" on some of the long, narrow
tongues Of land projecting into Hudsons Bay
they have known the deer to take to the SET
and swim directly outward until they wer'
lost 10 vision, and whether they were thereby
drowned or not they could not tell

Death of wagner, the Composer.

Wilhelm Richard Wagner, the composer,
who died at Vienna yesterday afternoon,
was born in Leipsc in 1913. His father
was police actuary, who died six months
after the birth of his son. His step-father
was an actor and painter, and was anxious
to make q painter of his step-son, bat he
showed no aptitude. He was u good stu
dent and fond of the classics, translated IL
books of the Odyssey, and longed to be a
poet. His musical faculty was awakened
by hearing Beethoven's symphonies. With
out any special musical training he began
writing overtures, one Of which was
played in the Leipsic theatre. AT 10 he
composed an overture which was well re-
ceived at one of the Gencndhaus con-
certs in Leipsic and symphony, which was
performed at the conservatory in Vienna.
He accepted the position as musical di-
rector at Magdeburg, and on ten days no.
tice wrote and presented an opera, which
did not prove success, but he was not
disheartened at the failure. While at
Dresden he was moved by reading Bull
wers 'Rienzi' to write an opera with that
title, which was brought out in that city
in 1912. When making a voyage t5 Lon
don he was driven by storm into Nor
wegian port, where he caught the legend of
the "Flying Dutchman." He went to
Paris and fell into want. As his fortunes
improved he visited other cities, wrote the
"Flying Dutchman' and "Tannhauser,"
attracted the attention of Lud-
wig, King of Bavaria, established
himself in Munich and entered on his
fame. He brought out "Tristann and
"Isolde in 1865, "Die Meistersiuger Won
Nurnberg in 1868, and in the summer of
1876, in theatre of his own design at
Baireuth, the threefold opera of The
N;la1up1on Pipu ~ This was ono of the
greatest musical events of the century.
His collected literary works fill nine
octave volumes. In his later years he
lived in Baireuth in house of his own de-
signing. His wife is daughter of Franz
List, the celebrated musician.
