GOLD FILLING o DEER's TEETH.
The Man Who Found II Is Now Trying to
Discover q Gold Mine In Colorado.

Gold has been found in n variety OF queer
places. among others in the dust shaken from
chickens feathers. in the crops of wild tur-
keys, and between the toes Of a wolf hound.
The latest odd place for gold is as q filling for
n deer's teeth, and II is told Of in the Nidoogist
by John a. Bryant Of Kansas City, Mo.
\ Kansas City taxidermist was ( ound in a
great state of excitement by Mr.. Bryant. He
had recently got two deer heads for mounting
from Colorado. The jaws of both deer were
being scraped. and then the taxidermist OBJ
served a peculiar substance crust ell on the
teeth. This sediment was brownish yellow
in color, end Just for FOOLS luck the man
scraned it off and sent it to an assayer. The
assayer got a lump Of gold. pure yellow gold,
from the stuff, and the taXidermist made haste
to find out the precise locality where the deer
were killed. Then he asked about the deer
ticks where the animals got their salt. He
doesn't know yet whether the gold came from
a salt lick or from tho dust blown onto the
grass or browse on which the deer fed.
The taXidermist said that the deer were
killed not more than a hundred miles from the
Cripple Greek gold mines, and further. that he
knows the spot exactly. He thinks II deer
can get gold filling for their teeth in the ordi-
nary course of nature. a man could get bushels
OF IL. He has so much faith In this that he is
going to sell out his business. buy a burro. n
grub stake. and a prospector's pick. and then
go to prospecting on the deers' trails.

Mr.. Johnstone, and another man. on ele-

to find and kill a tiger. When the big animal
hove in sight Mrs. tombstone fired a bullet
into II, and the animal turned and charged the
elephants, and severely wounded one OF them
before IL died.
Five minutes after the death Of the tiger It
was measured twice. and the result was as
tonlshing, for the tiger was twelve feet half
an inch long-twelve inches and a half larg er
than. the one killed by j. l.. Shillingford on
April 10, 1871.
The measurements Of the beasts skin. with
out undue stretching, were IL feet u inch:
nose to root Of tail, ; feet Z inches; skull, 14.37
inches long. md . inches wide at the cheek

tail was 3 feet 10 inches long. which was six
inches longer than the average of five other
big tigers tails. Tho skull weighed y pounds
ounces, a portion OF the lower jaw having
been shot away by a heavy bullet. .
The tigers head was smaller than any OF
being. over fifteen inches long. and none was
less than ten inches broad. Added u that. the
creature was n lanky beast. and compared with

There Is n growing idea among smokers that.

that already many Of the so-called clear Havanas
are covered with Mexican tobacco. and that IL
cannot be detected by experts. The best In
formed persons in the trade deny this rumor,
and state that most Of the large American
firms have enough Cuban tobacco to last
them for n year or more. and that there is
little or no tobacco in Mexico suit

They say also that Mexican tobacco is

Eight Thousand Doves Slaughtered by =
Party of Hunters In Georgia.

j. w. Den and three companions are re-
ported to have killed 700 wild geese and ducks
in the northern part of Nebraska on a recent
hunting trip. Seven hundred such birds
would weigh not: much. II any. less than a ton.
H.. j. Lamar, Jr.. and a party of hunters
went to Leesburg. Ga, dove hunting. The

fifties. The party killed 5000 of the birds.

A Hunting Device for Those who Have
Not . Wild Turkey Trained.

A Forest and Stream correspondent writing
from Greenville, Miss. tells how he went turkey
hunting with a friend. They got of the cars
at Anguilla, and Paul Denkens met them.
With n pair of stout mules and n heavy wagon
loaded will cam dufile they travelled sixteen
miles over a rough road. finally camping near
Darling Bayou on a high cano ridge. They
took a live wild turkey gobbler that had been
trained, along with them In a box. The next
morning before daybreak the two set out with
the turkey which was named Fox.
I'VE took our way through a most abom-
Unable thicket," he continued. After pass
ing through the cane we got into briers and
tangled vines. In the darkness we fioun-
dered over logs and through water. at times
waist deep, for four or five miles. We tethercd
Fox to a stake in the open and took our station
by the root of the trees at a good shooting dis
lance from him. Wash, the teainster, who
toted the Robbler for us. was afeard the painter
would sure get him and refused to 40 back
Always where he would not alarm the game:
AT daybreak Fox gave a mighty, Robble,

that he Is obliged to see what the row is about
of racket in the camp: A couple of other hunt

%gobbler. They were very sheepish when they
learned OF theu mistake
The turkey fiddle is an instrument uved by
those who haven't a live trained wild turkey.
II Is a cedar box bored out Of inch stuff six
sides. The bow Il a piece Of slate one inch
wide and three inches long. This bow is
lengthwise. and the furthest edge of the fiddle
is, drawn toward ono across the slate. Like
all other turkey calls. this one is declared to
be positively the best made. With such an
instrument as this n man went out turkey
cal ing. Just as IL got u little light he began
to fiddle turkey songs in a way that set all
the turkeys to c%lncking in low tones. and the
gobblers to yelling defiance. battle cries, and
other things. One OF the gobblers did not
yell very much, but, came charging ut the
man. The man lad laid himself down be-
hind a lo-. thinking that the turkeys would
come up before him TO be shot. The gobbler
that didn't say much evidently did n lot of
thinking. for all of n Sudden the man heard a

discord like a Wildcats shrek. Before he
could get his gun the rohbler was behind a

ARMY BULLETS FOR GAME.
Two Objections to Their Use OF Account
OF Their Great Penetration.

Something for sportsmen to consider seri-
ously. if they intend to get one of the now 30
calibre army rifles. is the great penetration Of
the bullets. Ono OF the bullets would kill
a man through a four-foot spruce tree. or a
COW a mile and more away. No ordinary tree
can be depended on to stop one OF these bull
let's, and 1t might easily travel half n mile
through dense woods and hit a man far out
of sight with deadly effect.
Field and Stream says that the next Legis-
latures Of our great game States should pass a
law prohibiting the use Of a jacketed bullet.
because OF the danger to human beings. An
other argument II offers In favor of such a law
will have great influence on the men who do
not wish to wound witho 1t killing the game.
This class of bullets Is useless for large game
unless soft pointed 1t says. las It rarely
kills instantly. but allows the game to die from
internal hemOrrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach"
When such a rifle is used for big game a bullet
that mushrooms should he employed. The
mushrooming bullet will kill anything. rs it
goes clear through an elk. moose. or deer, and
the force of the impact would knock a run
ming grizzly down.

Otter Hunting = sport Very Much Enjoyed
by EnRiishmen.

Otter hunting Is a sport very much enjoyed
by Englishmen. The otter Is a great fish eater
and that Is why the fishermen feel themselves
compelled to kill IL. Some angling stubs and
societies offer rewards for otter kills. and that
makes the hunters angry.
Otter hunting is done with dogs and men.
They go whooping up stream on the otter's
trail, the hired men keeping In the water in a
limo to prevent the animals turning down
stream, as the beast cannot be trailed while
going down. The dogs come up with and tear
the otter to death. II the hunt is successful,
but often the otter tears the dogs. An otter
will whip any dog In the water.
An English otter of over thirty pounds
weight Is n big one, and few reach that weight.
The biggest one remembered weighed thirty
seven pounds. and wns killed at Bowthorp,
near, Norwich. a thirty-six FOUNDER was
caught In Skeggles water, Westmoreland

The American otter is q sly animal, which
Is not often killed by n Gunshot and as sci.
dom taken with traps, since nothing but the
utmost care In setting and batting the trap
will deceive IL. Once In a while trout fisher
men see ottcrs along an Adirondack stream,
and otter trails are common on the snow COW
cred ice back In the woods. or on streams oppo-
site cleRrings. Sometimes tho animals are
seen on the Ice by rabbit hunters. and are shot
at, but few of the wounded or even killed
crea ;ures are recovered, since they are usually
on the ice, near holes, and II merely wounded
90 under the water and drown rather than let
a man get them. Their last kick is an en-
deavor TO get out OF reach.
