II Is well-known fact that bird
and wild animals know what othc,
animals they have TO fear.
The birds that fly from a man or {
dog will hop around a cow, even walk
ing right under her.
Man has now taken advantage Of thiI
fact to facilitate the slaughter of birds
and other game.
ANeoraska man has invented patent
COW for hunters, and the specification.
have been received al the patent Office
Tho invention presents tho perfect
outward semblanee Of . most psose-
able and amiable COW, but the foresAea
and hindlegs are, in fact. the TIVE pairs
Of legs of two men. Thoy are armed
with guns and have q plentiful supply
of ammunition.
The patent cow mov0s along Like an
ordinary, harmless animal until il il
in the midst of lot Of birds, when it
comes open and the two men inside
blaze away.
The specifications state that the in
vention consists OF q hollow decoy ami
nal adapted to be supported and held
in an upright position and operated by
an inclossd hunter, for whom the decoy
forms a concealing shell or blind.
The device, in its makeup, comprises
as essential elements flexible outer
shell Of canvas or other suitable ma
tarial, decorated exteriorly to repre-
sent tho animal in imitation of which
the decoy is constructed, and said shell
is adapted to be supported or held in its
distended position through the medium
of a collapsible metal framework, which
allows the covering and framework OF
the decoy to be folded into small space
for transportation.
Depending from the framework are
hollow portions representing legs, into
which are inserted the legs of the con-
eealed sportsmen. fE whom there are
accommodations for two, one at each
end Of the decoy.
Formed in the sides Of the frame, at
suitable points, are windows or open.
ings protected by outward swinging
flap blinds, and through these windows
the sportsman in the rear may dis-
charge his towing piece when the game
has been successfully stalked: For the
firing of the hunter in front of the do
coy there is provided downward
swinging portion, which includes the
head and neck of the animal, so that,
by simply releasing o small catch from
tho inside of the framework this re-
leases the swinging front portion. which
Immediately drops by gravity, and thua
leaves the sportsman free-N. Y. Jour-

COST OF SABLES.
How the Price Advances After the
Skin Leaves Siberia.

How the Price Advances After the
skin Leaves Siberia.
1t is to be wondered whether the
elegant lady wrapped so snugly in her
winter furs gives thought, even a
passing one, to the subject as to where
the magnificent sable skin which she
wears around her neck originally came
from.
Up in the great watershed dividing
Siberia and Mongolia lives peculiar
race of people, half Chinese, half Thi-
betans. Few Europeans have ever seen
them; in fact, with the exception of
one or two enterprising explorers or
geographical enthusiasts who have
crossed the Altai range, European eyes
have never gazed upon the aboriginal
Syots of northern Mongolia.
Sable hunting in the Siberian noun
tains of northern Mongolia is con-
fined almost exclusively to the Syots
and other native races, and it would
surprise a good many fur dealers in
England to know the prices which are
paid by the Siberian traders to these
poor aborigines for the skins they col
lect.
The Siberian trader, knowing his
market, makes periodical journeys into
Mongolia. 1t is safe to say he does not
take a kopek of money with him, but
he drags behind him a well-stuffed
caravan loaded with tea, tobacco, gum
powder and shot, strings of beads for
the women and roughly made mecca
sins for the men. In due course he will
come across a Syot encampment
The trader sits on his wagon and
barriers cheerfully. With the eye Of a
connoisseur and with fingers rendered
deft by long practice, he sees and feels
the smooth, warm skin of the little an
imal.
The small black one-well, two
ounce packet of tobacco is enough for
that. That large black one--a handful
of shot and an equal quantity of gun
powder. A packet OF tea for lovely
skin with a long black stripe down the
center. This one, fine skin, but
little bit hurt by the shot entering the
blackwell, only q string of beans for
that.
In their original undressed state it is
safe to say that the skins do not cost
the Siberian trader more than a few
pence each on the average. AS the poor
sable travels further westward, how
ever, he gets dearer and dearer In
Tomsk one can get very good sables
for something like five or six rubles-
about 10 shillings. In Omsk few are |
sold under ten rubles-G1 / shilling. |
In Moscow 100 per cent, goes on. In
St. Petersburg no one except the mid
lie class or functionary would wear
\ sable under Is. In Paris and Lon
Ion real Siberian sable skin will fetch
up to eco, but the. imitation
ables OF the pres0t day have done
much to depreoiate khis wonderful
