The Government returns of the grain
crop of 1897 are now complete. They
make almost startling showing of the
wealth of the country in soil produc-
ton. OF corn We produced 1902.
967, ,933 bushels, for which the farmers
received-for farm prices only are con,
sidered-no less than $501, ,072, ,952, or
about one-half the entire National
debt. OF wheat we produced 53O,-
149, 16S bushels, which poured into the
laps of the farmers the sum of 1928.
547,121. OF oats we produced 699,-
767, 500 bushels, yielding S147, 974, 719,
Thus on three grain crops alone our
tillers of the soil earned one billion
seventy-seTen million five hundred and
ninety four thousand seven hundred
and ninety-two dollars. This does not
include barley, hay, beef, mutton,
wool, pork, eggs, chickens, garden
vegetables, fruits, butter, milk, or any
other of hundred farm products that
together greatly exceed these three
recorded crops in value. 1t does not
include the seven million bales of cot.
ton, or the rice, or the tobacco, or any.
thing else than three grain products
What a country ours is, to be sure,
when one years crops yield to its cul-
tivators six or seven times our whole
National debt! What limit shall be
set to the power and glory of coun-
try so marvellously fruitful? asks the

In the Guarico country, at village
cahed Paraya, near the Merida trail,
| saw an Indian named Jose Lobado.
writes traveller, in the Philadelphia
Times, whose face and head were
deeply scared and whose body was q
network of similar scars from wounds
received through being carried away
by jaguar when an infant in arms.
OF course he could not remember the
occurance, but his mother, who had
rescued him, described it to me. She
had gone to mata, or wooded spot,
on the pampas for frewood, carrying
her child, after the fashion of Venez-
uelan women of humble station, in a
shawl looped from her shoulder. This
shawl with the small boy in it she
slung to low tree branch while she
gathered her bundle of sticks, and she
did not perceive the approach of a
jaguar until he had seized the child
and was carrying it away. The moth
er grasped her machete and ran after
the jaguar, shrieking. She managed
to keep the beast in sight, but he was
rapidly getting beyond her view when
suddenly the jaguar stopped, put the
child down and, bristling for fight,
stood with his fore paws resting
upon it.
Then the mother saw that a puma
was fronting the jaguar. She hurried
on toward where the two beasts faced
each other, growing and snarling.
Before she got to them the puma
sprang, and at once the two were
fighting tiercely above the child. In
the struggle the child was rolled to
one side, but before the mother could
get to it the jaguar broke away from
the puma, and, springing to the boy
again, crouched with his paws above
him as before. The puma leaped
again and the fight was renewed, but
again the jaguar got clear and jumped
to guard his prey before the mother
could get chance to snatch her
child. Once more the puma attacked
his foe, and as the beasts struggled
and tore each other an accidental kick
from one of them sent the boy twenty
feet away, almost to the mothers feet.
Catching him up, she ran for home
and got safe to the house. The boy,
though covered with claw wounds
from head to foot and bearing deep
marks of the jaguar's teeth in the
back, where the beast had seized him
to carry him: away, recovered com.
pletely from his injuries, although
bearing the scars for his lifetime.
The puma and the jaguar were found,
both dead, at the place where they
had foupht

Animals "Look" Questions,

Unlike children, animals do not ask
questions. They only 'look" them,
and though they constantly and
anxiously inquire what is to be done,
how it is to be done and the exact
wishes of their masters, and OCCASION
ally even of other animals, the inquiry
is made by the eye and attitude. A
terrier, for instance, can almost trans.
form his whole body into an animated
note of interrogation.
Of the two remaining forms OF
speech-statemen and request-the
animals make very large use, but en-
ploy the latter in far greater degree
than the former. They use sounds for
request, not only in particular cases in
which they desire something to be
done for them, but also in great
number of cases in which the request
is form of warning-"Come!" "Be
CAREFUL" 'Look out!" "Go aheadl"
"Help" The speech which indicates
danger is sufficiently differentiated.
Birds, for instance, have separate
notes of warning to indicate whether
the danger is in the form of hawk or
cat, or Of man. If hawk, cat, or
owl is on the move, the birds, espe-
cially blackbirds, always utter chat
tering note, constantly repeated, and
chickens have special sound to indi-
cate the presence of q hawk. But
when disturbed by man the blackbirds
have quite different sound of alarm
and the chickens also. Animals on
the march are usually silent; but the
hamadryad balloons use several words
of command; and the cries of cranes
and geese when flying in ordered
focks are very possibly signals or or

PhOtogrnphing the Arterles.

Several experiments with Roentgen
rays have obtained unsatisfactory
pictures of the various structures OF
the body before they have been dis
turbed by dissection. More crafty
ing results have just been reported by
,Drs. Fl. J. Stiles aud H. Rainy, who
have made the arteries of the dead
body Opaque by injecting mercury
into them, and have thus secured
skiagraphs showing the intricate ar-
terial system with remarkable clear
ness. The picture of the arteries OF
a child's head might suggest-were it
not for the varying width of the lines
a multiplied pendulum trace of an
earthquake. The great number of the
blood vessels, in fact, is a point
brought into prominence by the pict-
ures, causing one to wonder the deep
incisions of surgery do not inevitably
cause bleeding to death. The ten
dency of blood to coagulate is detail
in natures system of Notifications
whose Importance is little considered.
