Good bear hunters prefer a very heavy

The black bear is much more abundant
than the grizzly, and in the Tehachepi

vantage at all. Like the grizzly, he
packs his whereabouts with him, though
he has been known to leave them in the
next county. Dogs are the surest means
of an interview with this slippery ras-

ways of man better than the black
bear But when the berries are ripe in
summer he relaxes some of his care and
goes a berrying in the morning or even

acorns, you may find him more easy
to reach and then there is other game

Among the paraphernalia and effects
for removal was the lodge goat. Spe-
cial instructions had been given to the
committee at the last meeting to see
that the goat be covered with blanket
that he might not be detected by the
general public But these instructions
were not carried out and for once the
uninitiated public had glimpse of the
wondrous animal without passing the
inner door"
1t was hard looking goat, too, and
evidently made to stand considerable
more racket than the candidate who rides
him. He was constructed of about 3x3

Much of the brightness of Southern
california has been marred by sheep
fires and settlement, but enough re-
mains of its native beauty for those
who seek it. Once it smiled on every
hand in a wonderful shifting of every
tint that light can form. but now it is
more retiring, though it still runs
through all the changes as soon as you
leave dense settlement. Beginning in
midwinter, when the rains have been
. sufficient, floral procession winds over
hill and dale far into the summer. un-
folding at every turn flowers new to the
eastern eye, ever gladdening, ever sur
prising.
On such q landscape one would ex-
pect to find game, but who would look
for shooting in April, May and June,
when in almost every other land the
gun must be laid aside? But California
is nothing if not original, and these are
the very months when the rabbits and
hares are at their best. There was
time when these were so plenty that
they were hardly considered game, but
it has been the same in almost every
other country, and there comes time
when opinion changes. Fine sport can
be had with them with gun, rifle or
greyhounds. and the young are large
enough in April to make it lively for
anyone who thinks himself fine shot.
Both the rabbits are smaller than those
of the east, and wonderful dodgers in
the brush, while by moonlight along
it's edges the Pickering white of the
tail makes a mark as it scuds away
over the grass that no one need be
ashamed of missing. Both are OF fine
flavor, with white and delicate meat,

PAID FOR THE DINNER
Clipping the Pigeons Wings Did Not
Prevent His Return Home

A New Yorker who has spent time and
money in developing carrier pigeons. ami
may be called Jones for short, was boast
ing at his club one night of the great
flights that his pigeons had made, when
Brown said: "I'll bet you the best din
ner the club can furnish for everyone
present that you haven't got a pigeon
that can fly from Philadelphia to New
York" 1T will be simply robbery"
said Jones, but I'll take your bet"
Brown stipulated that he should carry
the pigeon to Philadelphia himself, and
he did. Before releasing the. bird he
clipped his wings. and then returned TO
New York by slow train. We'll, re-
leased your pigeon in Philadelphia this
morning." he said to Jones that night at
the club, "has he returned YETI" Not
yet" said Jones. The next day Brown
again asked Jones about the bird, AMI.
when Jones admitted that his pigeon
had not come back, claimed the bet.
The owner of the bird said he wouldn't
admit defeat. The pigeon didn't show
up on the second day, but on the third
day. when Brown asked jeeringly:
Isn't it about time for that support
1 don't suppose your pigeon has return

has; but--er-well, his feet are very

HOW TO ENJOY A SPRING MORNING

who thinks he has discovered the COM
bination; glances upward like a beam
of light just as you think he is coming
down, pitches down like a thundebolt
Just as you think him about to shoot
away upward, and darts sideways or
executes a spiral curve about the time
you pull the trigger on the assumption
that he is on'a stright line at last. And
when you have found out all these
tricks, if you ever do, and think you
have gauged his speed, Try him coming
in over a hill while you stand between
the hilltop and the water in the valley
below. You may need a surveyor to
locate the place far enough ahead to
send the shot; then you will find 1T
often painfully slow, and many a time
a tail feather flutterng down the breeze
may be all that you have of the swift
rover. Modern powder is still too slow,
and he seems to keep wonderful pace
with Improvements in guns. Far out
on the desert, where he has no visible
means of support. this dove is fat and
happy and can shame the breeze that
sings through the rugged passes of the
hills. Almost anywhere on hill or dale
he is found in great numbers in the
early part Of most seasons, and in spite
of his small size is considered one of the
game birds worthy of anyones atten-
ton. His alleged innocence vanishes in
twinkling when you get a gun in hand
and like shaft of blue feathered with
revolving white. he pounces suddenly
upon your presence as if shot from some

The April Moon and the Pleiades

Unusual interest attaches to the move
ment of the moon this month because
of her occultation of five of the stars of
Taurus within an hour and half. These
eclipses, for such they are, are valuable
in determining the exact place of the
moon in her orbit, and also serve to as
certain the longitude of places far apart.
Their phenomena affords strong proof
of the absence of any appreciable lunar
atmosphere, for the disappearance of a
star when occulted by the dark limb of
the moon is so sudden as to be fairly
startling. Were there any atmospheric
rim about our satellite refraction would
ensue, as it apparently enveloped the
star, which would seem to halt and suf-
fer distortion, as we'll as change oScolor,
before disappearing. Since the moon S
movement is an eastward one. occulta
tions come on from that side, and the
star duly reappears upon her western
limb.
Very few persons can count more than
six stars in the Pleiades cluster (often
termed the "cleaver") Those who see
more usually make out eleven, but with
high telescope power the number runs
UP into the hundreds. Indeed. a four
HOuTS exposure 10 IL Ol tclesCOplC puO-
tographic plate has brought to view
1926 stars. This wonderful cluster Is one
of the most celebrated historic objects
in the heavens. Announcing to the an
cient Greeks the opening Of the season Of
navigation, 1t has come to be believed
that it is etymologically associated with
Sailing" But Miss Clerke feels sure
that its real sgnifcation is that Of
"many" or full" Atlas-whom every
one remembers as bearing the world on
his shoulders-and Pleione were the par
ents of Asterope, Taygeta, Maia, AL
cyone, Electra, Merope and Celaeno The
last is the dim or lost" one; whether 1t
or Pleione was once bright and has faded
away during the intervening centuries
cannot be affirmed, but the ancients
claimed that seven stars were visible in
this renowned group. A half century
ago Nader taught that Alcyone was the
central sun Of the universe" and we
often yet read the statement. but no as
tronomer now entertains it.-Philadel-
