Official Regulations u Little Vague as to
the Treatment of Live Stock.
Several years ago a board of naval Of
ticers was ordered by the commandant of
one of our naval stations to hold ii sur
vey on one of the horses belonging to
the station. The board met, examined
the horse, found that he was suffering
and was generally run down. An ex-
animation Of the navy regulations
showed that only certain recommended
tons could be 11lade by the board as
follows:
''To be turned into store for use''
''To be retained in or for use.' ''Sold,'
"Used for scrap metal.' '"To be issued
for any other purpose ''To be thrown
Oh the dump "To be transferred to
some other statio1l.' ITO be used for re-
pairs for some other article" or ITO be
extensively repaired.' Since it was the
unanimous opinion of the board that he

with the regula tons, that he be cx-
tensively Repaired
This was three or four years ago, and
he was Extensively repaired by a veter-
mary surgeon, but evidently the ire

will show.
Recently there came recommends

the horse lie shot, as he was old and
worthless, and that it wouid be kind
ness to put him out of his misery.
In the same mail came a requstion
from the same comlnandant asking for
authority to- buy ten tons of Al first class

1t was then that the navy department
endorsed on the reduisition "NVhy not
use the horse to produce the fertilizer?"

In the first place, Il throwing stick"

as it is sometimes called; is ii conttivante
for casting Il javelin DR. harpoon, which
is employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes; and especially by the
EskimOs, among whom it's use is almost
universal. Roughly speaking, it is d mar
row grooved board u foot or so long,
with one end cut into Il handle aid the
other provided with stud or spu1: for
the butt of the spear to rest against.
1t is used thus: Grasping the handle as
he would ~ sword, the man fits the
shaft of the spear into the groove, with
the butt resting against the stud, steady
ing the spear with the finger. Then, ex-
tending his arm and bending back his
hand till the spear lies horizontal, he
aims at the mark and propels the weapon
by Il quick forward jerk of the stick. In
this way | have seeli the EskimO boys
c;sting their forked javelins at wotilided

There is Il very large number of Eski-
mo throwing sticks i'll the National mu-
scum ut Washington, collected from all
the different branches of the race: These
have been very carefully studied by
Prof. Otis T. Mason, one of the curators
of the museum, and he has found that
these implements differ greatly from each
other in their details, while all are made
OH the same general plan. For instance,
one kind will have rlaii, handle, while
another will have projecting pegs. or
holes or sockets, to give firn1er hold
for the fingers, and so on.-John Muir

Twenty years ago the Kennebcc

Strength OF wing Of Birds.

i There are a good many birds whose
strength of wing is sufficient to strike
pretty hard blows, capable of bewilder-
ing Il man, If several of the birds at
tackled him at once. Some birds de-
pend on their wings as weapons to be
used in the duels for sweethearts.
Forest and Stream told some years
ago about an owl whose wing was brok-
en- by q dove it had sought to capture
and make meal of.
A correspondent of the National Drug
sist tells of his first surgical case in the
state of Arkansas. A market hunter
on Swan lake. near Shawnee village
plantation, was hunting at night with Il
light, when band of swans, bewildered
by the fire, came flying that way. The
hunter, who was in Il little pirogue,
threw up his arms to save his head, and
the left one was struck by the wing of
bird, and both the ulna and the radius
OF his forearm were broken.
The Sun recently told of Port Jer-
Wis farmer who was knocked from a tree
by a fight of wild geese during a fog,
and Forest and Stream has several times
in the past twenty years told about men
who were dazed by birds flying against
their heads, partridges (ruffed grouse)
being the principal offenders.
