STOCK GROWERS CONVENTION.
Committee Appointed to Draft Constitution
and BYLAWS Addresses by Promi-
nent Men.

Denver, Jan. 26.-Chairman Springer
called the National Stockgrowers' con-
venti0n to order at 10 o'clock this
morning. A committee was chosen,
draft constitution and bylaws. The
first address was on statistics as to
values of live stock and the prospective
conditions" by j. Fl. Neff, editor of the
Drover's Telegram, Kansas City. Fig
ures were given to show that prices
were now more than 200 per cent above
the lowest point few years ago. He
expressed fear that stocOing and feed
ing cattle are now bringing more money
than they will bring in the market when
fattened What is true of cattle, he as
serted, is also true of sheep, horses and
hogs. In comparing the stock industry
with that of mining, he said that if the
silver men had Teller, Jones and Stewart
at Washington, the stockgrowers had
Dingley, Grosvenor and Mckinley. He
spoke optimistically upon the probable
effect of the Dingley bill, espe cially on
the sheep industry, and closed with a
prediction of prosperity for the future.
Governor W. A. Richards, Of Wyom-
ing, next spoke on ''The cession Of arid
public lands to states.
Governor Richards on Arid Lands.
Governor Richards took the position
that not only the arid lands but all pub
lie lands should be given to the state.
They would then, he claimed, soon be
made to help pay government expenses,
and sooner be put in hands of actual
settlers. He favored the leasing of arid
lands for pasture, the proceeds to be
used in aiding their reclamation by ac-
tual settlers. He said the money re-
ceived from the sale of public lands had
been largely used in states other than
those in which the lands were situated,
to the advantage of the older at the ex-
pense OF the younger statss.
Would Lease All Public Lands.
Elwood Mead, state engineer of Wyo-
ming, spoke on 'How best to prevent
clashing between sheep and cattle men
on the ranges" He favored the leasing
of all public lands and the breaking up
Of free ranges.

Procuring Tortoise Shell.

The tortoise shell of commerce is not,
rs generally believed, the horny Gov
ering or shell proper of the turtle; 1t is
the scales which cover the shield.
These scales are thirteen in number,
eight of them being fiat and the other
five somewhat curved. -Four of those
that are fiat are quite large, some
times being as much as twelve inches
long and seven inches broad, nearly
transparent and beautifully yariegated
In color with red, yellow, white and
dark brown clouds, which give the eff
fects so fully brought out when the
shell is properly polished. A turtle of
average size will furnish about eight
pounds of these laminae or scales, each
piece being from an eighth to a quar-
ter Of an inch in thickness.-NewY York

BLOWN OUT TO SEA.
Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
by Fierce Gales.

Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
by Fierce Gales.
Birds driven before the wind are toss
ed about relentlessly, and they rarely
recover their balance after once being
caught by the gale. Shore birds are
either dashed upon the waves and made
to swim for their lives or they are hurl-
ed violently against trees or other OBJ
jects and killed. Shore birds, when fac
ing gale, will take every advantage OF
trees, houses and hills as defenses
against the wind. They will close their
wings and sink SO close to the ground
as to get the protecting shelter OF q
hedge fence, and then swoop up again
with renewed Roadway. They frequent
ly advance before tho gale by series
of side evolutions, flying at right angles
to the wind until they have attained con
siderable velocity, and then wheeling
about straight against the wind and
making some Roadway before it over
comes them. This operation is repeated
continually until the desired place is
reached.
During our fall and early winter
gales cartridges and quail are quite fire.
quently blown out to sea by strong
hurricane, where some of them have
been picked up by fishermen. In nearly
all such instances they are caught by
the gale when high in the air, and be-
fore they can recover themselves they
are hurried out beyond the shore and
dropped into the water. With their
plumage soaked with the spray they in
stantly become helpless and cannot
reach the shore in the face of the wind
On our inland lakes and rivers this is a
more common sight than along the
ocean shore.
When once blown out to sea, the
shore birds have little chance of escape
Unable to battle against the heavy
wind, they yield themselves to their
fate and drift about until the storm
subsidies. BY that time they are likely
to be SO far from shore that they cannot
reach it again, and they either fly or
swim until they starve to death or die
Of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along
with those of the hapless gulls, terms
and herons, are finally drifted upon
some shore, where the waves leave them
high and dry After every heavy storm
hundreds of such luckless victims can
be found ON the beaches of our Atlantic
coast.-Our Animal Friends.

INVENTION OF scHOONERS.
Interesting History of New England
Fishing Boats

The schooner was invented at Glou-
cester by builder of tishlng-yessels.
History records that Captain Robin
son built and rugged a ketch, as they
were then called, masted and rugged it
In peculiar manner: when launched
the peculiar motion she made as she
glided into the water from the stocks
caused one of the bystanders to ex-
claim: oh, how she scoons' Robin
son instantly dashed a bottle OF rum
against her bow and exclaimed, a
schooner let her be- And thus the
schooner originated" This event hap
pened In 1713. and three years later
mention is made of the employment OF
a schooner in the fisheries off Cape
Sable, Nova Scotia.
The invention of the schooner was
an important event In the New Eng
land fisheries, for It's rig has been
found. after nearly two centuries OF
trial, well adapted to fishing-vessels
employed In the Western Atlantic. 1t
has been materially improved, how
ever, since its adoption, and the lofty,
yachtlike fshingcllpper of to-day
bears little resem blance to its ancient
prototype, even though the rig remains
the same In principle.
Immediately after the revolutionary
war the adoption Of the "Chebocca
boat" became quite general. especially
along the north shore of Massachu-
sets. These diminutive craft, at first
ranging from about five to ten tons,
derived their specific name from Che
bacco. now a part of the town Of Es-
sex, Mass where they originated. Cat
rugged, with two masts, they were
handy" boats, and became so popular
that they could be met with on almost
all of the inshore grounds. In later
years, when some were so large as
from fifteen to twenty tons, they grew
more venturesome, and their cruises
extended to the offshore islands.
Indeed, tradition tells of some going
as far as the West Indies during the
embargo period, carrying out cargoes
of fish and returning with rum, sugar
or molasses. The difficulty of inter-
course at that time often made these
ventures profitable, and apparently less
risk was taken in these diminutiye
vessels than in larger craft.
AS early as 1920 the pinky began to
supersede the Chebacco boat. This
was similar in form to the latter, being
a sharp-sterned craft, but it was larger,
and carried a bowsprit and jib, thus
having a full schooner rig. 1t was
most generally In use north of Cape
Cod until about 1910. Meantime,
sQuare-stern schooners, usually with
low quarter-decks thus distinguished
from the old-fashioned headquarters
deck craft of the Marblehead type,
were built, and for some years after
the last mentioned date they were gen.
orally preferred to all others. Pros
perity led to continued improvement,
and about the middle of the century
material change was made In the intro
duction of the modern clipper schoon-
ers.-Harper's.

Designs In Currency.

Secretary Gage has presented the
question of the ACCESSIBILITY of reform
In the designs of United States paper
money. There are at present Ia cur
rent use three classes Of Government
paper money-silver certificates, treas
ury notes of 1890, and United States
notes, or greenbacks. In each OF these
classes there are nine denominations,
making twenty-seven in all, each be-
ing represented by special design en-
tlrely dissimilar from the others.
Secretary Cages plan Is to have prac-
tically one design for the three 81 notes,
another for the twos, and so on up to
81 900 the highest. The reading neces-
sarily would be different on each de-
nomination. In order that the three
classes of paper money may be readily
distinguished the seals and numbers in
each class will be printed in distinctive
colors. The numerals on each note will
be made very prominent. The Secre-
tary argued that the new designs would
In great measure prevent the raising
of notes, as the design would at once
identify the denomination Independent
of the numerals.
The Secretary had with him at the
last cabinet meeting samples of the
new designs, and all of the members
present expressed themselves as high
ly pleased with the scheme. Unless
something unforeseen occurs to prevent
this plan 1t will be carried out as soon
as the plates can be prepared.-Wash-
