HUNTING WITH TURKEYS.
Tame Birds Used TO Capture the Wild
0nea

Tame Birds Used TO Capture the Wild
Ones.
''Tame turkeys can be trained to
hunt wild ones" said st. Louisan re-
Gently to a Globe-Democrat man. 81
owned one called Dick, down in Polk
county, Tenn, that obtained state
reputation. | was offered one hun
dred dollars for him at one time, but
then thought he was a phenomenal
bird. Since his death, however, have
discovered that the talent for hunting
wild turkeys is not uncommon among
tame ones. The call of the wild fowl
differs from that Of the domestic one,
but the latter can easily learn the for
mer's calls il the hunter is patient
enough TO teach him. The tame tur-
kew can be taught so that he can be
taken into the woods, and will then
send forth the challenge call. If a
turkey cock is within hearing an an
swering note of defiance is invariably
made. This is replied TO, and finally
the wild turkey will come very eau
tiously until he sees the tame one, as
he is a suspicious creature. But when
he sees the turkey his fears are gone
and he starts at once to do battle.
Then the trained turkey runs and the
hunter shoots.
"The advantages of this method of
hunting are very great. While a
hunter can initiate turkey call pref
ty closely, there is an accompaniment
made by striking the ground with the
wings which cannot be reproduced,
and without this the game is sus-
picious. The hunting turkey must be
taken in hand when very young and
constantly drilled, but beyond the pa
tience required very little skill need to
exist upon the part of the trainer"

EXPERIMENTS IN FLYING.
A German Has Made Successful Slides
Down an Aerial Slope.

A birds wings while it is flying per-
form two functions. They sustain its
weight and they propel it. Human be-
ings in trying TO initiate the bird have
been more successful in the former di-
rection than in the latter. Such ma
nipulations of wings as will drive a
person forward either by muscle or
power from apparatus strapped to the
body, may be learned eventually, or
the future Daedalus may rely upon
some entirely separate device for pro-
pulsion and retain the wings merely
for support and balancing. In either
case. all attempts to find out what can
really be accomplished with these lat
ter appliances possesses interest for
scientists and the public. Herr o.
Lilienthal. of Steglitz (near Berlin),
Germany, has been experimenting in
this direction with contrivances that
resemble great wings. In the brief de-
scription at hand no information is inn
parted concerning the materials en-
ployed. But the wings had an expanse
of fifteen square meters, or one hun

EuROPEs NEXT BIG WAR.
Russia and France to BE Arrayed Against
Germany, Austria and Italy.

Russia and France to BE Arrayed Against
Germany, Austria and Italy.
This war of giants will have Russia
and France on the one side, Germany.
Austria and Italy on the other. To
make this evident, says Blackwood' S
Magazine, we have only to look at the
actual position Of the troops during
peace in each of these countries. AS
an indication Of where the danger lies
and the direction which the contest
will ultimately take, the disposition Of
the Russian army is by far the most
important factor Russia, owing to
the immense extent of her empire and
the comparatively small number OF her
railways in proportion to those of any
other European state, is quite unable
to concentrate powerful armies for Of
fensive purposes on any point OF her
dominions with any approach to the
rapiditv with which this can be done
in France. Germany, Italy, or even
Austria. She is consequently Obliged
To mass upon her frontier during peace
those forces which she intends at once
to throw into action during war. The
sure sign. therefore, of where she in
tends to strike her blow when the in
evitable contest ensues is to be looked
for in the present actual distribution
of her army. This is by no means to
the same extent the case with the
other great powers. France and Ger
many. especially, have perfect sys-
TEN of railways laid out with dis
tinct strategic purpose. Every prep
aration for a speedy concentration Of
their whole forces by these means on
any point of their frontiers ever likely
to be threatened, either for offensive
or defensive reasons, has been so thor
oughly made that their troops can be
left during peace in far more dis
persed state and much further back
than is possible with Russia.

TALE OF AN UNSIGNED CHECK.
The Amount Was $4,000 and 1t Wa
Cashed by New York Bank.

The Amount Was $4,000 and 1t Was
Cashed by New York Bank.
The story of a check passing through
a number of channels without anyone
discovering that it was not signed was
related to a Boston Globe reporter a
few days ago. 1t appears that a GER
tain Bostonian. while in New York,
found it necessary to pay the Union
Trust company, of that city, thirty-tour
thousand dollars. which he did by Civ
ing it a check on one of the Boston
banks. The check was accepted and
was deposited in that company's bank
for collection. The following day it
was presented at the Boston bank.
when it was discovered that there was
no name signed to it to show by whom
the check had been issued, as it was
written on one of the blank forms OF
checks OF that institution. 1t looked
as il there was nothing to be done but
return the check to New York, when
the cashier thought he recognized the
handwriting. and going to the tele-
phone called up the party who he be-
iieved had issued the check.
"Were You in New York last week?'
asked the cashier. Yes said the
man at the other end Of the telephone.
well" continued the cashier, did
YOU give the Union Trust company
check for thirty-four thousand dol
lars?'
Yes" was the reply; whats the
matter? Have you not charged it up
to my account?"
Il would have done So" said the
cashier, but there is no name signed
to it."
Great Scott" was the answer; "can
YOU hold that check until l get up
there?"
The check was held, and in a few
minutes a man came in all out Of
breath and affixed his signature.

Chinese Pirates Bsheaded with NeatneS
and Dispatch.

Can't. John WindrOw, an old sailor OF
the Pacific. tells this to the Tacoma
Ledger: "While | was in Shanghai
along in 1858 or 80, the ruler of the
city equipped two steam gunboatS Tor
the suppression of the piratical traffic.
One of these he put in command of an
American. The boats had been out on
a cruise for several days. and early one
afternoon they returned towing thir-
teen piratical junks which had been
captured. | went aboard to see the
prisoners the boats had brought in.
An iron rail led around the gunwale
Of each of the boats, to which were
shaclxled two hundred of the most VII
lainous-looking Chinese | had ever
seen. Justice to such fiendish wretches
was swift in China in those days, and
the next morning they were led out for
execution. In spite of the horror OF
this wholesale beheading the execu-
ton had a streak of the comic in it.
Two Chinese assistants of the eNecu-
TONER carried n large bamboo pole
The condemned Chinese were ina kneeI-
ing posture and the assistants woulo
clutch a Chinaman's queue and take
half-hitch around the bamboo pole
Then. each putting the pole ON his
shoulder, they both would suddenly
rise up, stretching his neck away from
the prisoners shoulders. The eXecu
toner stood ready with q drawn sword
anl Topped off their heads with as
much indifference as a farmer would
have about cutting cornstalSs. Little
baskets were ready, into which head
was placed, and in this manner the
heads were hung on the walls outsidt
the city gates"

HORRIBLE CARGOES.
Life on Bone-Laden Ships Rendered Al
NEST Unendurable.

NEST Unendurable.
When the standardization Aus
trian bark Villa was picked up at sea
by the Norwegian fruit steamer Breid-
ablik and brought to New YORK
couple of months ago much curiosity
was expressed as TO what could have
caused her crew to desert hor. With
the exception of being partially dis
masted, it was in perfect condition,
SAYS the New York Tribune, and the
loss Of its masts might have occurred
after the crew left it. 1t had sailed
from Egypt with n cargo chiefly made
up of old bones, and no word was heard
Of it until it was picked up off Hatteras
by the Breidablik. All the barks
papers and every scrap of food had
been taken from il and the fate Of its
crew was mystery. The experience
Of the three-masted schooner Wallace
J. BOYD. which recently arrived at
Philadelphia from Montevideo with a
similar cargo of old bones may afford
an explanation of the mystery sur
rounding the Villa. The crew of the
Boyd say that nothing could ever in
duce them to ship again on bone
laden vessel. Within a few days after
leaving port the vessel became infested
with scorpions and other pestiferous
bugs, which came out of the cargo and
penetrated every nook and corner OF
he craft. The men were driven from
their hunks in the forecastle and every
fort to rid the schooner of th e.
)lague was unavailing. Five or So

ng. but the smaller ins nct, held or %
,pite of all this On a dny which was
damp and warm the torment was ag-
gravated by the appearance of large
green bugs, which swarmed over every
thing and continued their ravages
until port was reached. 1t is believed
that the creatures were in the
bones when they were gathered on the
Argentine plains, and the excessive
icat of the hold during the voyage
through the tropics caused them To
breed in enormous numbers and forced
them on deck. 1t is possible that the
crew of the Villa was driven from it by
a SIMILAR cause and met worse fate.

HILL TO RETURN HOME.
His Lawyers Instruct Him to Give Up
His Fight Against Extradition.


His Fight Against Extradition.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 20.-The Harry Hill
case took an unexpected turn to-day. Hill
has been under arrest in Chicago since
Monday night. An officer sent from At
lanta with papers for his extradition is
now in Springfield awaiting Gov. Alt
geld's action. Gov. Altgeld, after hear
ing the objection of Hills attorney decided
to wait until next Monday before passing
upon the eXtraditio n papers. Hill has
been making a hard fight against being
brought back for trial, and Gov Altgeld's
position seems to indicate that the odds
were in his favor To-day, however,
Hills lawyers in Atlanta telegraphed
him to leave off fighting against extradi-
ton and come on. to Atlanta without
requiring requisition papers. Hill has
back if his lawyers advised him to,
and it now appears that he will be in
court when his case is called, though the
officer in Springfield has been notified by
Chief of Police Connally, of this city, to
see to it that Hill is held in Chicago until
Gov. Altgeld grants extradition papers,
or refuses to do so. This may cause
delay but the chief of police
is afraid trap has been set for his man,
and wants the satisfaction of bringing the
fugitive by legal force and arms. There
are various reports as to what caused
Hills attorneys to give in, the one gener-
ally accepted being that they have gone
as far as they dare in tri1ing with the
machinery of the law and are now COM
PEELED to bring their client into court in
order to vindicate the officials, who have
already been harshly criticized for the
proceedings in the Hill case.
