IRREGULARITIES OFTHE BUFFALO
Their Mad Dash to Destruction When
stanpeded.

stampeded.
One popularity Of the buffalo, now
almost extinct, was its habit when
stampeded, of dashing blindly forward
against, over or through anything that
might be in the way. When running,
a herd of buffalo followed it's leaders,
and yet these leaders lost the power Of
stopping or even Of turning aside, be-
cause they were constantly crowded
upon and pushed forward by those be-
hind. This explains why herds would
dash into mire or quicksands, as they
often did, and thus perish by the thou
sands. Those in front could not stop,
while those behind could not see the
danger toward which they were rush
ing. So, too, they ran into rivers, OF
into traps made for them by the In
dams, or against railroad cars, or even
dashed into the rivers and swan blind.
ly against the sides of steamboats,.
The buffalo We're fond of rolling in
the dirt. and to this habit, practiced
when the ground was wet, are due the
buffalo wallows which so frequently
occur in the old ranges, and which
often contain water after all othJ
moisture, except that of the streams, is
dried lip. These wallows were formed
by the rolling Of succession OF buffalo
in the same moist place, and were often
quite deep. They have often been de-
scribed Less we'll known was the hab
it of scratching themselves against
trees and rocks. Sometimes solitary,
cratic bowider, FIVE or six feet high,
may be seen on the bare prairie, the
ground Immediately around it being
worn down two or three feet below the
level of the surrounding earth. This is
where the buffalo have walked about
the stone, rubbing against it, and where
they trod loosening the soil, which has
been blown away by the wind, so that
in course of time deep trench was
worn about the rock. Often single
trees along streams were worn quite
| smooth by the shoulders and sides of
the buffalo
When the first telegraph line was
built across the continent, the poles
used were light and small, for trans
portation over the plains was slow and
expenive, and it was not thought Sec
essary to raise the wires high above
the ground. These poles were RI IuiCn re-
sorted to by the buffalo to scratch
against, and before long great many
Of them were pushed over. A story is
told Of an ingenious employe of the tel
egraph company, who devised a plan
for preventing the buffalo from dis.
turblng the poles. This he expected to
accomplish by driving into them spikes
which should prick the animals when
they rubbed against them. The result
somewhat astonished the inventor, for
it was discovered that, where formerly
one buffalo rubbed against the smooth
telegraph poles, ten now struggled and
| fought for the chance to scratch them.
selves against the spiked poles, the
iron furnishing just the irritation which
| their tough hides needed.
