Calling the Ball Moose.

The time TO call the bull moose is
from the middle of September to the
middle of October and sometimes later.
1t is the habit of the female at that
time of the year to seek open spaces
on the hills at shutdown and give voice
TO a mellow but far-sounding cry.
This is the signal to the male and the
call is not often repeated before some
stumbling bull is heard crashing
through the brush. his long split hoofs
rafting at every step on his way to the
rendezvous. This peculiar cry the
hunters have learned to initiate with
greater or less degrees of eXactness.
and made 1t an agent for Turing their
game into ambush. The call is made
Dy means of horn rolled out of birch
bark, to mouth which perfectly re-
quIreS long and constant practice
The hunter, when an adept at sound
ing the moose love song, simply hides
himself at favorable spot in the will
dernesS, with his gun in readiness and
blows the horn. As he hears the bull
approaching, generally pausing in the
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and get his bearings, the caller needs
all his nerve and an unfailing lin.
The call must be tempered to the an
proach of tie bull, and one false note
is never lost on that wary lovers true
and cultivated ear. No COW moose
ever slurred note or sung too flat or
too sharp floating her amatory invita-
ton to her mate on the crisp air of an
autumn evening, ana the slightest var
iation either way in the sound will
send the eXpectant brute flying like
the wind away from the treacherouS
trySting- place-disappointed, perhaps,
but not rs much so as the hunter
whose false lip lost him his coveted
prize.
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional instances being
on light moonlight nights. Conse-
quently hunters seldom try to lure a
bull by calling after night has come
on. If a bull can be induced to an
sWer moonlight call, however, the
excitement of the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncanny in the sound of the start
ling call echoing among the hills, their
tops flooded in light and their sides
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering below of
the bull as it comes out from the very
depths of the shadow. AS the huge
animal approaches from the wilder
ness and finally energies into the
moOnlit open. the nerves even of the
most experienced hunter are strung at
the severest tension, while to the no.
vice the suspense is simply agony

A Stronger Gun Than it Looks.

Each days progress at the Pittsburg
Steel Casting Company's works on the
new cannon shows the successful
character of the work. The new en-
CINE of war is in the lathe now.
The magnitude of the interests
which would be glad to see the failure
of the PIttsburg gum said gentle
man who is interested in the new can
non, lean be understood by remem-
herring that the entire expenditures of
Europe for artillery have for some
years been for the 'built-up steel guns
The great Armstrong esta adjustment in
England is wholly devoted to making
the cannon by shrining successive
tubes or rings of steel one upon the
other. The still vaster establishment
of Krupp in Germany derives nearly
all of its profits from the manufacture
of cannon in the same way.
Now, If you remember that the
cost of the built-up steel gun runs from
81 to s. per pound according to their
size, while the solid steel gun Just
turned out is at the contract price of
20 cents per pound, you can see what
a blow to these immense interests will
be dealt if the firing tests show that the
new cannon is as good or better than
the older ones. If it is as good, the
immense gain in cheapness will utter
lv destroy the business of the immense
Krupp and Armstrong works. If it is
better, it will turn the hundreds of
cannon they made for the countries
of the Old World into old metal.
They will keep a close watch of the
tests of this gun, and | have no dQnbt
that if $4,000 would secure its failure
under the firing tests, the money
would be forthcoming"
IF the tests demonstrate the sue
cess of the six-inch solid gun, will that
show the ability of Pttsburg to secure
equally good results with the largest
steel guns, such as have been made
by Knapp and Armstrong in the other
process? was asked of a gentleman
who is interested i'll the steel casting
company.
eve will take contract tomorrow
to make a 150-ton gun if any Govern
ment wishes to order it, was the short
but decisive reply.-PiHsbwrg Dispatch.

Lessening Danger from Billiards.

The loss of life resulting from the
severe snOw-stOrms in the Northwest,
during the present winter, calls for
serious consideration of the best means
of avoiding these dangers in the future.
The blizzard gives little warning of
its approach. 1t is liable to spring up
in the afternoon of any day, the morn
ing of which gave promise of being
fair and bright, thus overtaking people
who may be travelling in any portion
of the country, surrounding them
with binding and furious snow and
causing them to he lost before they
can reach any haven of safety. These
storms, prevailing in a region where
there is a scarcity of trees, no fences
and few habitations, make the venture
far away from home very hazardous
under present conditions.
1t is clearly evident that some gen
eral method must be devised whereby
people shall not lose themselves in the
storms. If the farms we're generally
fenced, there would be little danger;
but as guard against being lost in
snow-storms it is not probable that
people will build fences. The next
best thing as protection, will be the
setting of trees by the roadsides,
which, in darkness and storms would
guide people to their destinations.
Especially in the vicinity of dwellings
and outbuildings should they be set,
for the treble purpose of giving shade,
defending against the wind, and serv
ing as guides when lost in the storm.
IL unable to obtain and set trees this
coming summer along all the road
sides, the authorities could have posts
set at regular distances, which may
serve as supports to young and grow
ing trees when, in the future, they are
planted. If, through public tax, re-
mission of tax to those who set their
trees adjoining their lands on the
highways, or by individual public
spirit, a suficiency of trees may be
planted by the roadways and around
the homes, the blizzard will be largely
shOrn of its terrors. f. Hill

Edison and His Inventions.

Mr. Edison was interviewed recently
by Chicago reporter. He said: Il
have been busy of late fixing up my
laboratory near Llewelyn Park, Or
ange, n. j., and in perfecting the
pnonOgraDh. As soon as the frost gets
out of the ground we are going to
build new factory at Bloomfield and
put IN machinery capable of turning
out 250 monographs day. You'll see
it shortly. Our agents are now learn
ing its use, and | expect by the middle
of April TO have the new instruments
all over the country"
Tell me something about it.
"Well, it is little instrument small
er than the ordinary typewriter; it
will record any sound transmitted to
it - violin and piano-forte music,
whistling notes, or anything you may
give it. By the way, it will be a great
help to you newspapermen when you
are in hurry to have your copy put in
type. Suppose at night you come
late. You get to your monograph and
begin talking to it. Each of your
words is recorded to a little wax CIV lin
der and repeated to the typesetter at
the other end. 1t will take down any
thing YOU may dictate, and to prevent
confusion, for the photograph will
talk faster than yourself, it repeats the
lastsiX words of every broken sentence.
Where can it be used? Why, in any
number OF places. At the courts, to
take down the testimony of witnesses;
at the church, to record a sermon; at
the opera-house. where famous prima
donna may be singing"
81 do not quite understand how this
can be done.
LET me try to explain. The pho
nograph is made up of the mouth
piece, where it receives the sound; a
spirally grooved cylinder carrying a
sheet of tin-foil and wax, by which it
receives the records of the movements
of the diaphragm, the human voice,
ETC., and another mouthpiece on which
the speech received in the cylinder is
reproduced. A screw connects itwith
the cylinder; you talk and your speech
is recorded; now move the screw and
the second mouthpiece repeats the
sounds the wax cylinder has received.
The wax cylinders are about the size
of an ordinary napkin ring and of the
same CnickneSS. with a capacity OF 700
words"
"Will the public take kind ; to it?"
Il believe so. it is no longer in the
experimental stages, nor is it mere
curiosity. Correspondence can here
after be performed through it, and the
labors of private secretaries will be
dispensed with"
'Have you been working on any
other new inrentions?'
30, yes; I've got at least 100 new
ideas in my head still in the embryonic
stage. Some of them I've been work
ing on for years. Two or three | may
bring out this year. I'm working
hard on my scheme of housekeeping
out of the waste heat generated by
Goals"
How far have you succeeded"
