In wild state, the American bison,

quite wholly, extinct. AT the present
moment there nrc about 200 wild buff
faloes alive and on foot in the United
States. To obtain these high figures
we include the 100 individuals that the

ers have thus far left alive in the Yel-

carelessly spoken. but IL represents,

would take sixteen and two.third days

An impressive illustration of the diff
ference between million and one is
afforded by comparing one inch with
a million inches A thousand inches
is eighty-three and one-third feet. A
million Is just thousand times as

IL has long been known that insects
assist plants by carrying the fertilizing
pollen from flower to flower, but the fact
has only recently been prominently
brought forward thnt humming birds
are just as effective distributors OF poll
len as insects are. II has been shown
that these little birds, which arc ns
fond as bees of the honey OF flowers,
carry the pollen grains in great quan-
tity, not only ON their feathers but on
their long bills also. Indeed, so well
suited il the humming bird to do this
work Of distribution, without any In
tcntion Of It's own, that the question
has been raised whether II may not be
the most boncnccnt OF al tho uncon-
scious friends that the flowers have in
