freed by a Monster Boar.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, OF New
York, is fond of talking about his ex-
periences in California, Ind during
one of these variations he said:
1.-THE most exciting and risky hunt
ing on the Pacific coast to-day Is
among the wild hogs, down on the
bottom lands of the Colorado River,
Atty or sixty miles south OF the old
town of Yuma. A party OF us was
down there last year, and believe we
had adventures enough to twill oui
sportsmen friends for q full genera

A great many hunters in California

indorse every word Of Commissioner
Roosevelt's opinion, and no hunting
ground fo- big game is probably be-
coming more popular than this III the
winter time, when the climate along
the lazy, muddy Colorado River is
like thatof July in the Eastern States.
Two years ago an experienced
sportsman from Southern Illinois was
spending the winter in Yuma. he
had pair OF very fine, large stag.
hounds, which the owner claimed
could run down and kill any wild hog
along the Colorado River. One day
he took the dogs and riae and went
down the river for nice little boar,
Just right for the oven. He had not
gone thirty miles, and landing, be-
lore he found band OF hogs and little
pigs, and turned his dogs loose on
them when out of the tules nearby
Jumped en- enormous boar, a mon
ster. who, with mouth wide open,
paving no attention to the dogs, made
for the hunter. The latter drew up
his rifle and fired, but on came the
boar, the dogs nipping him at every
Jump.
The hunter fired second shot, but
on came the beast. The hunter turnet
and ran for mesquite tree few
va rds distant, the hog close to his
heels. He dropped his gun, jumped
for life, grasping limb OF the tree,
Just as the hog grabbed his pants, and
tore one-half of them from him, but
he was safe. just out of reach. The
dogs all this while ran grabbing the
hog by the hind legs. to which the
beast paid no attention. The mad
boar seized the bark OF the tree IN his
great tusks and tore it into shreds.
Finally he turned upon the dogs, IN
stantly killing one, wounded the other
30 that it died soon after. Then he
turned his attention to the tree where
the hunter sat. He guarded him un'

swallows Revengefal AL Murdarous.

An extraordinary tale OF the revenge
of the swallows upon the sparross,
which had robbed them OF their nest,
is told by correspondent OF German
paper. The owner OF a garden outside
Stuttgart observed with surprise that
there Was no opening in the nest
which some swallows had built under
a beam in his summer house. Eager
to find the reason OF the absence OF
door in the swallows family dwelling,
he took ladder and inspected the
nest. Cutting it open with his pocket
knife, he found in it FIVE little spar
row lodgings, all Of them dead. 1t
was evident that the swallows, by way
of furnishing the invaders who had
seized their house, had taken sdvan-
tage OF the absence OF the father and
mother sparrows and had deliberately
"masoned'' up the opening IN tbs
nest, thereby sitting to death the
young brood of the robber birds.

SOME STATISTICS OF FISH.
The United states Lead the Countries OF
the World In the Fishing Industries.

The United states Lead the Countries Of
the world In the Fishing Industries
The United States stand at the
head of the nations of the world in
respect of the amount of fish caught
the value of the same and the num-
Der of men engaged in fisheries. In
respect of the number of ships en-
ployed in fisheries, there are so, 600
in the United States, 35, 600 in Great
Britain, 81, 600 in Norway, 2j, 900 in
France and $4,000 in Italy. The
world over /, 900, 600 men maintain
themselves from the labors of fish
ermen, and of these l50, 600 are in
the United States. France follows
with 14O, 600, Great Britain with
1870, 600 and Norway with 120, OOG.
The next highest is Russia with 6S,-
600. In respect of the number OF
tons of fish caught each year, the
United States stand first, and Great
Britain comes next
The average value of the fisheries
of the world is in year $50, OOO,-
900, and to these figures the United
States contributes nearly $50, 900,
900. With fish of course are included
oysters, CLAIMS, scallops, crabs, lob
sters and shrimps. The whale fish
cries do not amount to much nova
days, and two states may be said to
monopolize the whale fisheries OF
the United States-Massachusetts
and California. In the catch of fish
Massachusetts stands at the head OF
the political divisions of the United
States, and Alaska comes second.
New Jersey outranks New York.
Maine outranks both. The oyster
and clam interests of the country
are not as we'll diversified as the
fisheries. Maryland comes first, then
New York, then Virginia and then
New Jersey. Florida ranks near the
top in the value of its annual fisher
les. Twenty-eight of the Al states
have a revenue of some sort from
fisheries, this being highest in Mas
sachusetts, with IS, 900, 900 a year,
and lowest among the states in Min
nesota, with $25, 900.
The herring fisheries of Scotland
are at the head of the list for her
rings. They amount in a year tc
75O, 900 tons, In the catch of Goldfish
Norway comes first. Haddock is
largely caught in the waters of Eng
land, salmon in Ireland and sardines
in Spain, Italy and France In the
United States, California is making
the largest strides in the develop
ment of its fisheries. The last fig.
ures give 40, 900, 900 pounds as the
amount of salmon consumed for can.
ming purposes in a year in the three
Pacific states of California, Oregon
and Washington. The transporta-
tion of fish from one country to an
other is an important item of com.
merce, and it has become more SO
since the increase in canned fish,
which has very largely taken the
place of the salted article. New

French or English Landscape?

In France English painters have,
broadly speaking, learned their bust
ness. They have imbibed Gallo
preiudices and learned to treat ma
ture in the manner of French artists
and dwell upon the peouliarities
which those artists have developed
from the study of country which
is essentially different in color, at
mosphere and significance from our
own. And then they have returned
to England, and settling at Newlyn
or elsewhere have endeavored to see
England through French spectacles
and have produced such a queer,
hybrid hotch potch Of the two coun-
tries as never yet mortal man re-
joiced in
All this, / am sorry to say, has
been hailed with the utmost jour
nalistic enthusiasm, 1t was novel;
it was foreign; it was enlightened
it was, in fact, everything which a
writer properly disgusted with his
country and properly regardless OF
the traditions of his country's art,
would most admire. And ] confess

present moment to have attended

care twice recently, and though ]
