lapses, like card house or a tent. But
such apparent collapses arc sometimes
deceptive, as for instance:
Before l could reach him he scared
Off into the air with wheeling flight.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet.
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for decoy, l tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and used my gun as backed off, and
he took to his wings"
The sandhill crane is something of a
fighter of men if wounded, and the only
safe crane is dead one. Their bills
are long and sharp, and are capable of
putting out a mans eye.
The sandhill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than
passing interest to the student of birds,
Out on the prairies parties of them
have balls in the spring to which the
select birds seem to be invited. These
balls are picturesque affairs, from the
human standpoint. There are curious
dances, which are sort of solitary
waltzes or pretty slow jigs. Sometimes
the birds leap over one another's backs
and flap their wings, giving their pc
culiar cry. Rival birds have fierce duels
using their keen bills like lances, bat
tie axes and swords.

VERY SHY DANCER.

stories Told by Westerners OF tho Antics
of the ssadhin Crane.
The sand hill Crane is very bright
bird. A RecreStion writer says that
its very name is synonymous of Wig
lance and alertness. 1t feeds on the
treeless plains or In the barren wheat
stubble, where it can see a long way
beyond gunshot. Or one of flock is
posted as sentinel, and this bird stands
with bill half open, ready 20 give an
alarm. 1t can be killed by deooying IL
with pasteboard figures, cut to proper
size and shape and painted; but mount
ed birds are better. A pit is dug deep
enough to conceal a man, the decoys
are put out, and the cranes are shot as
they come over. The best region to
shoot them is in the Columbia river
watershed and south of it in the Pa
cific coast states.

monument was raised to him of a con-
ception original and grandiose. 1t con-
sists in the main of an enormous rough
hewn block Of the gray granite of the
country, perhaps rs feet high, over
which is thrown chart of Central Asia,
Upon this map stands an eagle, holding
in it's beak an olive branch. On the side
of the block is fac smile of tie medal
struck by the Russian Geographical So
ciety in honor of Prjevalslly, and be-
meath this an inscription describing
him as the first discoverer of the ma

ago three Frenchmen on a scientific mis-
sion in the Thiom-Chour region paid a
visit TO the monument and fastened
upon the rock plate commemorating
their pilgrimage.
It's size and isolation would make the
monument notable, but there is one
other reason for it's impressiveness.
For all its apparent solidity, this struc-
ture of granite and bronze will soon
disappear. The rocky shore upon which
it stands is subject to frequent land
slides. The distance which separates
the monument from the brink is lessen

foresee the time when rock and eagle
will be swallowed up beneath the waves
which break upon the shores of Issyk-

the wilds of Central Asia had never ex-

Monument Erected in Asia to the Memoir,

Nowhere else in the world can be
found more striking monument than
that which has been erected on the
shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, in Central
Asia, in honor of the Russian Gen.
Prjeyalsky, a famous explorer of that
region. When he died in 1888 in Turk
estan, where he was busy completing
the preparations for his fifth scien-
tific expedition, he asked to be buried
on the banks of Issyk-Kul, which
spreads out its impassioned waters in
one of the valleys of the mountains of
Thiom-Chour, not far from where he
was. The wish was carried out and n
tomb was followed out in the summit
of a jutting cliff on the eastern margin
of the lake. In 1895, near his tomb, a

Taylor and Hewitt on a Tandem Again Try
Those Sycamores at Coronado are hard
at work, and every time they have trial
some one of the many records drops a
notch or two.
Yesterday Dave Shafer sent "Fatty"
Hewitt and "Buck' Taylor out for the
tandem mile, flying start, paced by the
quad, and the following telegram is the re-
sultant issue:
Hewitt and Taylor, on tandem, paced
by Stone, Scarborough, Washburn and
Hamilton on quad, broke worlds record
for mile, flying start, 2 40 g.; time,

The quad also broke the record for the
distance, as the former time was :47 4-5,
made at Denver by the same team. The
tandem record that was smashed was
made only few days ago by the same
pair who rode yesterday.

PASADENA'S FINE TRACK
A Great Crowd Attends the Opening
Meet
The Stearns Team Has Everything Its Own
Way, There Being No Other Entries
in the Class 3 Events

The new bicycle track at Pasadena was
opened yesterday afternoon with a race
meet that was all that could be desired.
The largest crowd that ever attended n
bicycle race in Southern California was
present, fully 5000 people being there to
assist in opening one of the finest tracks in
this part of the state. 1t is a third mile
oval, and possesses excellent banking and
a splendid surface. When properly worn
it will be a pl ace for record breakers to de-
light the trainers heart.
Only one of the races was paced, and
that was the one-mile novice. All the
others were unpaced, most of them being
of a kind where pacing was not available.
The mile opeu class b, was of the yellow,
very yellow variety. all of the entries being
from the Stearns' record team now quar-
! tered at Santa Monica. The winning of
! Campbell over Kiser and Randall was
rather surprise; so was the time made,
| though the latter surprise was not SO
| agreeable.
| AS usual, Brother Bill Hatton ran away
with the lap race, those big legs of his pull
| ing him out of the ruck in good shape.
| Shefski won the two-thirds mile handicap
| from the fifty-yard mark. Campbell again
