BROUGHT BY A DOVE.


A carrier pigeon has made Its fight
from the summit of Chilkat pass to its
loft in Portland, Ore, 1000 miles, bear
ing a brief message from a party of
hardy fortune seekers who are now
making their way along the Yukon to
Dawson City. 1t is the latest message
out of the land to which thousands are
on the way.
Thomas Cain took with him several
homing pigeons from Robert Uhlman,
who lives a few blocks from Mr. Gains
residence. Uhlman has been watching
for the appearance Of a pigeon for some
time, Cain having stated that he would
start one when he reached the summit
of Chilkat pass. The pigeon was first
seen the other morning at an early
hour with something attached to its
left leg. 1t had not entered the loft
and seemed tagged out, At that time
it was not known whether the bird
really came from the Cain party, Eff
forts made to capture the pigeon were
not successful at first. It would not
accept offers of food and appeared ex-
hausted. Finally it entered its loft
On crumpled piece of paper torn
from notebook was a message that
had been scrawledD by Cain after his
party had reached the summit of Chill
kat The message was read with diff
Guilty, as the penciling was somewhat
obliterated. 1t read as follows;
Aug 25-Robbie Uhlman: I thought

Tell Jack we lost some horses, but that is
all right. I send my love to you all, and
kiss and tell grandma not to worry. It is

The paper was attached to the
pigeons leg with an ordinary piece OF
cord. The pigeon evidently felt the eff
feet of its long fight of nearly 1900
miles.

After leaving Charleston Spanish

Willie, aged seven, and Eddie, aged

snake bites the other evening.
They were playing hide and seek
with some other children and Willie
ran into the bushes and failed to reap
pear at the proper time. Presently Ed
die heard cries from his little brother
and, Fastening to his aid, found, as he
at first thought, that he had become

rattlers were biting Willie time and
again, Badly frightened, but deter
mined to rescue his brother. Eddie
reached in for a better hold, and was
himself bitten repeatedly.
The cries of the two children at-

rescued from their perilous position,

One died in five minutes and the other
in ten.

MONEY IN JACK RABBITS,
skins OF tbe Pests WIN Re Used in
MatkiaE Hats,

hAAssAE eNhtat
The days of Kansas jack rabbits are
numbered, New York parties have adj
vertisements in many western news
papers Offering three cents each for
cured Jack rabbit skins, culls and pieces
three cents pound, and common cot
ton-tail skins 5la cents pound. The
New York parties want the far with
which to make hats, and as they rep
resent European hatmahers, it is said
the traffic in rabbit fur has been trans
ferred from Australia to the United
States.
Skilled rabbit hunters in western
Kansas can make good wages kill
ing jack rabbits, and in the Vi
cinity of Dodge City eportsmen are
preparing for several grand round-ups.
Frequently the people of western Kan
sas have surrounded a large section of
country, driven the rabbits to the CEN
ter, and slaughtered them by the thou
sands.
The only disposition made of the
pests was to ship them to Chicago and
New York for food for the poor. They
did not realize that rabbit hair entered
largely into the manufacture of the
finest hats.

BAD EFFECTS or THE x RAY.


Discovery of a Process by Which They
Cam Be Fully Eliminated.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
National Capitol, is study of pho
Biography, and has recently been mak-
ing some experiments with the X rays,
and produced some results Of great in
terest to scientific and medical men.
One Of the most recent experiments
was directed to the now well-known
fact that human flesh suffers in a
great many cases after exposure TO X
ray.
Mr. Woods has discovered a process
by which this effect Of the x ray can be
eliminated He announces that there
is no proof at all that this quality for
il, effects is inherent in the ray He
admits, however, that the ray, in com
bination with certain physical condi.
tons Of the patient or subject, might
have produced the i'll effects de.
scribed
Mr. Woods has discovered that those
i'll effects win not follow exposure to
the X ray if the light is passed through
gold foil, but how the foil is treated he
keeps a close secret. A practical APP
plication Of this discovery has already
been made.
