Lubbock and Landors, however, he.

the French naturalist, has gone still
further in his experiments in this

we may hear them. The noise that
they make is so slight that it is i'm

creatures between two pieces OF glass,
in q space surrounded by a ring of
putty, a very distinct noise is heard
when the glass is held to the ear. 1t
is described as resembling that given
out by a liquid lightly boiling in a
closed vessel. At times it changes
to a ''screak" somewhat like that of

The Way the italian Bankers Rob De.
positors of Their Money.
The Italian banks, Of New York, of
which there r about 1872, are patron
lied by the most ignorant Italian Ia
borers. The bankers, who are OF q
little higher grade than the laborers,
do q great variety Of work, sending
money to Italy, writing letters, acting
as adviser and sometimes changing the
Office into an employment agency.
Money is given to q banker by the la
b0rers to be sent to Italy. II he chooses
to send it right away, he does; II not
he waits till he gets ready, sometimes
never sending II. All the customers
letters come to the banker and, as very
few Of the depositors can read, he reads
to them whatever he wishes to.
The bankers are expected to work
without compensation, and so they
swindle the customers to obtain It. II
q depositOr wishes to GO some place he
has q banker buy his ticket and is
overcharged by that person. who keeps
the surplus for himself to pay him for
his trouble. During the past eight
months fourteen Italian bankers alb
seconded in New York. The reason
that so many got out is on account of
the hard times. Tho depositors, being
out of work, 60 to tho bank to get
their savings, but the banker, having
probably been juggling with the
money, is unable to meet the demands
and is forced to away. OF course
all OF the bankers are not dishonest.
Tho fact that Sc, 1000, COO annually passes
through their hands shows that the
criminal element is not in control.

SHOOTING DEER FROM TREES.
Curious Sport INDUCED In BY the Apple
Growers OF Arkansas.

Curious Sport INDUCED In By the Apple
GrOwers OF Arkansas.
In the apple-gr0wing regions of
Arkansas the natives have u way of
deer shooting entirely original with
themselves. Deer love apples and in
the vast orchards they go free. Not
only do the deer eat the apples, but
when the fruit is all gathered they
turn their attention to the bark on
the young trees anG the branches OF
the elder ones In the fall when the
apples r plentiful the native
watches for deer signs, and when he
locates the trees which the deer fire..
qucnt he goes to work gathering tho
fruit, always leaving two or three
trees unpicked that bear the favorite
apple OF the deer. After the fruit
gathering Is over he turns his atten-
tion to harvesting venison. The deer
come to the orchard to feed in tile
night, and when daylight comes hic
away in some secluded hollow and
sleep. When the moon is in the
first quarter tho native takes his gun
and goes out in the early evening to
lie for the deer.
Generally two or three hunters
scatter out about the apple trees
that are left full ftuited to lure the
deer to destruction. They climb into
the branches of the trees a short dis
lance from the ones that bear the
fruit. and remain silent and motion
less to await the coming of the game.
Shotguns are the weapons and buck
shot the ammunition used. Usually
the hunters do not have long 10 wait
before they can hear the deer an.
preaching. The game comes eau.
tiously and it is sometimes an hour
after the game has lcen sighted ol
heard before he presents himself at
the apple tree where he feeds. From
q station in q tree, says u writer in
the ST. Louis Republic, 4 watched
one night for an hour and a half and
during ali that t me deer were in
sight. but not close enough to shoot.
AT last a splendid buck came up ON
the opposite side of the trees ana be-
gan reaching up and picking ap. les.
Presently adoe put in al appearance.
I sat there admiring the pair, watt
ing for them to move around u little
to give a better shot, when Bang"
''Banv!" in rapid succession my COM
panion's gun sounded about 100 yards
from where I was stationed, start
ling the beauties that / had consid-
cred as good as dead, and as they
started off l tried to get my gun in
position to shoot as they ran, my
foot slipped, and down 1 went in a
heap on the ground. My companion,
however, vino had fired the shots
was more successful. When ] reached
him he had a buck and doe lying be.
side the apple tree and was just in
the act OF cutting their Threats. He
said there was no Use remaining. as
the deer would not come back again
until near morning and maybe not
that night. l killed a doe the next
night and the native duplicated the
performance OF the previous evening.
His record fer the season was twenty.
seven deer, all killed in the same
orchard, which covered an area of
about 100 acres.
