Fine Set of Horns From n Moose
Shot by Senator Proctor.

The White House. acct riding to the New
York Sun. is shortly to receive a magnifl-
cent trophy of the chase in the shape of
large moose head with fine spread Of
horn from a big bull recently killed in Cam
ada by Senator Proctor of Vermont. who
was Secretary of War IN President Harri-
sons cabinet The Senator was only three
full days in the woods, whittier he was ac-
oompanied by Mr.. T. Crockett and two
guides. III that time they succeeded in kill
ing four moose and one caribou. They
might have killed almost as many more
caribou as they desired. but being after
moose, refrained from firing at them. One
of the heads secured by the Senator is to
se mounted for the public library at Proc
or. VT.
The country hunted by this party is be-
!ween Lake Temiscotata and the Maine
irortier, in the region known as the Squat
tccks, which is thickly besprinkled with
lakes. The success Of the party was large
ly due to the ability with which the guides
initiated The cry of the female moose In
calling the bulls. The rapid increase of
late in the large game supply in this region
IS perhaps due to animals taking refuge in
Canada from the number of hunters that
annually frequent the forests OF Maine.
Caribou. in particular. which are reported
less frequent this year in Maine than
moose and red deer. are exceedingly COM
mon in southern Canada, and near the
New Brunswick border in Maine, few
days ago. white moose was killed that
was a perfect albino.
Another curious freak of the deer family
that has been observed this year is that the
red deer. which in eastern Quebec has con-
fined itself for long time past to the
south of the st. Lawrence has been seen
crossing the river. and is evidently migrat-
ing northward. In the neighboring prov
ince of Ontario. where the killing of moose
has been prohibited for the last five years.
so many hunters from all parts of the
country were preparing to rush there I'm
consequence OF the remarkable increase in
the supply that the government grew
alarmed at the prospects of the terrible
slaughter. and has indefinitely extended
the close season, pending the making OF
efficient provisions for the protection of
this noble game.

Photography has had many triumphs.
One of the latest Is associated with the
name Of Prof. Macy. famous for his feats
In instantaneous work. He has Just sue
ceeded in photographing dragon-fy on
the wing-an operation which necessitated
an exposure of only one twenty five thou
sandth of second. The Photographic part
of the performance is wonderful enough,
and surely some credit should be awarded
to the man. capable of accurately dividing
second into twenty-five thousand parts
Certainly a man who can compute the
twenty-five-thousandth part of second can
compute anything.

an unknown Italian miner. The funeral Of
James Fox, James Clarke and three of the

The work Of recovering the bodies still

presidents, both Of whom take q lively
interest in politics, . prominent mer-

great men ~ caused the writer to
make some inquiry along the street.
He met and asked several prominent
men, among them some Republicans.
but on every hand his question was an

the fact that this mans name is Hub
