Two or three years ago DR.. Goode OF
the National Museum requested the Colo
mel to secure the skins Of a number OF
moose for mounting in the museum, to
make a group of. the finest animals IN the
American forest. He wanted a bull, a
COW and q calf, a complete family. Bulls
are considered d legitimate prey for a
sportsman, but Colonel Clay shrunk from
the idea of shooting a COW and calf,
which are usually exempt from q hunters
rifle. He promised, however, to provide
the skins for a scientific purpose. So,
swallowing his scruples, he killed the
COW and calf during the summer of 1856
in the Province of Ontario. The COW
was SIX feet four inches at the withers,
or shoulders, and seven feet three inches
from the ears to the end of the backbone,
the girth being equal to this last dimen-
sion. This is a good size for a cow, but
he had poorer luck in shooting the bull,
which he did last summer The prohlb-
itory law was then in force, but he was
given m intimation by the Canadian au-
thorities that if the bull was wanted for
scientific purposes the eye of the law
would be closed for the moment, and
when a young bull, rather smaller than
he might have obtained, came stalking
ND to bis tent one morning, waiting to be
sacrificed on tbs altar of science, ne
could not Withstand the temptation, and
pointing h1s Winchester at the beasts
withers he let the hammer fall inciden.

magnificent a~ntlers, fell crashing in ths

Zone morning. continued the Colonel,
his eyes showing the depth of his refec-
tons, II was up early getting some trout
I had caught the day before ready for
breakfast and had sent my companion
down to the lake for some more, when
all of a sudden here he came back,
~breathless, his hand up to his mouth, tip
toeing over to where I was. He finally
managed to whisper that there was a
moose in the water, and 50, without am
other word, I grabbed my rifle and we
stole down to where our canoe was
moored. The mist was just rising from
| the water. The sun was not up, but
there was a CLINT and q spirit in the
atmosphere that gave promise of a beauti-
full day. There he stood, a magnificent
beast, one of the largest / had ever seen,
some rods out from shore, wading across
the lake. The cold water was up to his
Withers and at every step he took into the
| almost icy depths he shivered and gave
that hohl in the characteristic language
Of the moose. He would put a foot for
ward and then stop and shrug his
shoulders, grunting. It was cold and he
did not like the prospect of swimming
across the lake. We got into the canoe
softly and padded out toward him. For
some time be went on stepping
and grunting, never noticing US un-
til we were about a hundred yards
from him, when his quick ear caught
the sound of our paddles and he turned
full upon us.
ssIt was, / think, the fnestsight I ever
witnessed. We padded ahead and /
raised my rifle ready to shoot. As | did
so the moose turned to the shore from
which he had just come, but before he
could get started I had fired, hitting
him, / think, somewhere In the side.
Then he plunged on at 4 terrific rate, his
great legs rising and falling like the fans

When the snow comes they are still on,
but about January they begin to drop off,
first one and then the other. The wound
left by the horn soon heals over. The
horns do not lie on the ground long.
They disappear in a most remarkable
manner. The ants and other ground in
sects probably destroy them, for one
seldom sees a perfect moose horn IN the
woods in summer time. The new horns
begin to grow late in the spring and de-
velop very rapidly, first appearing as a
| little knob and her branching out into
those peculiar spade-like masses that dis
tinguish the moose. They are then Gov

are plant and fieshy. The blood circu-
lates freely through them and they bend

trees, the blood vessels to close and the
horns gradually turn into bone. This
period is one Of irritation to the moose.
for the horns itch furiously and he goes
clashing around among the trees, rubbing
his antlers against the bark until the vel
vet hangs in shreds from them md they
present a most disreputable appearance.
Then in a few days more he has rubbed
all the velvet off and bears a pair OF line,
hard horns, after which he IS game 1or
the hunter. who scorns to shoot a moose
with the velvet on mis- horns. This is the
mating season and the bulls go hunting
for the COWS, coming down to the streams
most freouented. During the day time
they lie in the thickets on the hills TO
avoid the flies and in the evening they be-
y..s their ramblings. An old bull will
"a up and stretch out his great long
Iags, giving a peculiar grunt-hoh! hon!
that sounds afar off as a warning To

uing awkwardly down hill through one

| by others, his great horns ciashlng mere
and there among the trees.
IT have often spent hours in my canoe
with nv rifle over my knees waiting for
moose to appear. Still hunting is proba-
bly, the most sportsmanlike way to take
moose, but this takes time and lots OF
natience. One would have find q moose
run and wait. Some hunters who are IN
a hurry call their game to them by lml-
] tatine the below Of a cow, which Is
probably one of the most hideous noises
ever produced, and is done by shouting
or calling in a peculiar manner through
the hands, OF, better still, through a roll
Of birch bark. This is a great Indian
trick, but I do not like it,"
The Colonel paused and reached over
for his gun a light Winchester rifle In
cased in a yellow V made of moose
skin. Tt was made light to accommodate
the strength of the hunter, whose left
arm was lost during the Civil War. On
the stock were a number of notches Gu

The SydNey papers contain an account
Of the annexation by the British of the
Union and Phoenix groups of islands in
the South Pacific. The act was per-
formed with all possible ceremony, the
British flag being hoisted on eight differ
snt islands by the commander of her Ma
jesty's ship Egeria. The fact that the
American flag was found flying on several
OF the annexed islands made no difference
to the Britishers, but in the opinion OF the
San Francisco Chronicle, sit may slightly
affect the pleasant relations hitherto SUBJ
sIsting between the two countries if any
serious attempt at occupation is made. The
Union and Phoenix groups are almost in
line with the other islands north of the
equator annexed BIZ reat Britain last
yesr. The UnionGsoup is fertile and
ropulous. The Phoenix Islands are OF
coral formation. They contain extensive
guano deposits, which are worked by
solomon island natives for Englishmen.n

The plant is often lowered by the
