Dir. Charles c. Ahbott announces in
| Science that mound builders pipe has
been recently found In New Jersey.
These pipes are complete working inn
plements, unlike the ordinary pipe bowl
found in New Jersey and New England,
which lack the stem. Since 1882 copper
spears, such as were found in Wisconsin,
have been found in New Jersey, us
well as arrow heads, which are equal
in size and telicacy and finish to the best
examples from Oregon. The inference
is that the difference in skill of handiwork,
whether in stone, bone or clay, between
the wild tribes" of the Atlantic seaboard
and the people who erected the earth
works of the Ohio Valley is not so great
as has been supposed. DIR. Abbott con.
fidently expects to find artificial mounds
in New Jersey.

eiety recently distributed large number
of quail throughout its district. which
comprises the six lower counties of South

black bass, 500 pairs of prairie chickens,
100guinea fowls aud 500, 900 salmon eggs,
and has caused 200 arrests for breaking
the game laws. The quail thrived and did
very we'll until the bad Winter OF 1881
50, when the severe weather killed nearly
all except some in the lower part OF Cape
May county, where the snow never lies
on the ground, owing to the proximity
OF the ocean. The ponds and streams
| that were stocked with black bass are
swarming with the fish. There are be-
tween 900 and 900 members of the soci-
ETY., principally Philadelphians. Owing
to tho regulations of the society and the
way in which it has protected game OF all
kinds, the shooting has increased fully
400 per cent.
