Trial. Of an animal Artist"

Trials Of an "Animal Artist"
Meredith Nugent contributes to st.
Nicholas Leaves From the. Sketohbook
of an Animal Artist" Mr.. Nugent
says:
When one commences to sketch a
COW, that animal invariably takes her
departure. The sleeping lions at Central
park always wake up after a few strokes
of the pencil, and even the sluggish
snail becomes imbued with alp amazing
degree of swiftness if an attempt ia
made to sketch him. At least this is the
way it seems to the "animal artist" A
Baltimore oriole acquaintance Of mine
used repeatedly to come to the edge Of
the cardboard on which I was drawing
and eye the rapidly moving pen with
the greatest interest, but if Iattempted
to sketch him he would fly away imme-
diately. True, I was once fortunate
enough to catch the bright bird at his
bath when he was, so thoroughly en-.
gagged in scattering water over every
thing as to be totally unaware Of my
presence. Some aniimalsare comparative
~ easy to sketch and some very difficult.
The great elephant belongs to this lat
ter class. He always appears to be in q
state Of perpetual motion.

CAPE HORN CRACK SHOTS.

The Wonderful Workmanship Displayed
by the Yaheans and Onas.
It may be as we'll to refer to some
other tribes about Cape Horn which
attracted the attention of Professor
Hatcher. For example may be men,
toned the Yahgans, who live nearer
to the south pole than any other
known people. They occupy certain
small islands lying south of TERRA
del Fuego and are found also on the
south beach of that great island it.
self. The territory they occupy is a
maze of mountain peaks, and the
conditions under which they exist
are almost beyond realization by a
civilized person.
The typical weapon of the Yah
game is the rawhide sling, with
which they r able to kill water
fowl atioat at 200 yards. To hit any
bird at that distance would be called
right good shooting. They can knock
down and stun a guanaco with a
heavy round pebble up to 100 yards.
The reason for the sling as a tool Of
destruction is found in the<fact that
the Yahgans live on, the Beaches
where plenty Of round pebbles are
always at hand. These islanders try
out oil from whale blubberandstore
it for future use il the bladderlike

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.

Advantages of Their Use For the Rapid
Concentration of Naval Forces.
The twenty-third volume of pro-
ceedings of the United States Naval
institute has among its contents sew
eral ably written papers on subjects
interesting to the navy, Lieutenant
E. w. Eberle contributes a paper on
"Homing Pigeons as Messengers of
the Fleet" in which he refers to the
advantages and, practical workings
of a messenger pigeon service and
points out conditions under which it
may be used with advantage to the
fleet. In his paper Lieutenant Eberle
says:
From its geographical surround
ings Key West will become most
important pigeon station on the At
lantic, and Port Townshend, which
controls the strait of Fuca and en-
trance to Puget sound, will be the
most important on the Pacific. Port
Townshend station can control
the entire entrance to the west
ern possessions of Great Britain,
and this would prove of great value
in the event of hostilities with that
country.
"The rapid concentration of naval
forces at the point of attack or the
movement of forces to intercept the
enemy is only made possible when
we have a system by which we can
communicate rapidly with the shore
station from long distances at sea,
and the messenger pigeon service is
the only system by which we can
obtain such communication. This
service might be called, very appro-
priately, a sea telegraph system,
and although it's messages cannot be
dispatched with the speed and abso-
lutte certainty of the telegraph yet
the system has the advantage of
forwarding its messages from any
position within definite limits, and
therefore it is not necessary to seek
the telegraph station in order to.
send a message.
I'm the event of hostilities many
more messages than those given in
the above illustrations would be
sent in order to insure the receipt Of
important information, and if only
one of the many little messengers
should arrive in time to enable
fleet to maneuver SO as to engage
the enemy before he could infict
appalling destruction of life and
property upon some one of our sea-
ports, then this service would prove
itself most valuable to the govern
ment and we'll worth the small an
nual sum required to maintain its
efficiency.
st requires but one practical il
lustration to strike home and to
open our eyes to the merits of this
service. Let a single human life be
saved from %shipwreck in a time Of
peace or let one maneuver of the en-
emy's feet be frustrated in the
midst of war by the timely arrival
of one Of these swift winged, trusty
little carriers with it's urgent mes.
