into the water several feet, He never

rushes by. Suddenly he leans the fore
part fhis body and one paw farover the
log and then, with tremendous force,
strikes into the water with his paw,
clinging to the log with the other three
feet and the rest of his body. Seldom
does he fail to hit the big fish with the
stroke and, if the blow does not kill the
fish outright, a crunch of his terrible
jaws completes the work. The blow
usually lands the stunned or killed fish
back over the log into quiet pool, from
which II cannot easily escape. In the
course of 20 minutes he frequently
catches from Is to 25 salmon, ranging
from five to twenty pounds each. These
salmon are usually a trifie weak and

EXTRAORDINARY FIGHT.
Three Hundred spnrrows Attack and
XIII skunk.

Incidents of animals being attacked
and destroyed by birds are familiar 10
all readers of natural history. Hens
have often been known TO attack snakes
with great fierceness and kill them in
short order and the attacks of larger
birds, such as eagles and hawks, are
we'll known. Last spring fox which
had been robblng hen roosts, killing the
chickens and eating them and the eggs,
was caught by three game cocks and SO
badly worsted that he was glad to beat
an ignomnious retreat.
The pugnacity of the sparrow is pro-
verbal and residents of cities often see
evidences of II. One of the latest stories
is that told by +. Abel, of Freeport, l.,
|. He says:
"While hunting in the northern part
Of Merrick, i. l., ] saw one OF the
most peculiar fights that ever had the

fence, when my attention was suddenly
attracted by an immense swarm OF
sparrows which were flying from one
side of the fence to the other, twittering
with all their might. They were some

I tried to find the cause Of the trouble,
1t showed itself in the shape of large
skunk, which was darting from one side
OF the fence TO the other, the sparrows
following, pecking at him savagely
when they got the chance.
"They did not seem to mind my pres
ence at all, and this lodging and attack
ing was kept up for about five minutes,
when suddenly the skunk crossed to my
side of the fence and started across
big lot with the evident intention OF
getting to thick wood that lay on the
other side. He had made perhaps hall
way, when the entire flock of sparrows,
numbering at least 300, pounced on
him. The skunk fought well, but to no
purpose, for in less than a minute he
was torn to hreds."-Chicago Chron'

In Rossmore mine, in Pennsylvania,
there is a celebrated mining mule, Old
Duke by name. Old Duke has been
there for 80 years and has saved many
lives. He has an instinct for fire damp
the deadliest of all dangers that
threaten miners-which is marvellous
Nothing else makes him uneasy. But
once he shifts the fire damp he bolts for
the lift. This gives the alarm and the
men follow in his path. They are not
born in pits and caves, these mules
whose lives are passed beneath the
earth. But they are used in mining,
and from the day when they frstSnter

ground quarters until accident, old
age or lameness renders them unfit fol-

LEGEND OF ARAFAT,
Said to he inaccessible on Account
of Divine Gunrdinnship,

of Divine Gunrdinnship.
Ararat must now be reckoned among
the mountains which have exacted a
toll of life from explorers. Some of
the geologists who attended the con.
gress at st. Petersburg last summer
appear to have extended their trip tu
the Caucasus as far as Ararat, and TO
have attempted the ascent, but, accord.
ing to telegram, one of the party,
Prof. Stoeber, of Vladikavas, has been
frozen to death. This misfortune will
add TO the awe with which the noun
tain is generally regarded in its i'm.
mediate neighborhood. For centuries
1t was considered inaccessible; not be.
cause it presented any special difficult
ties, but because it was deemed to be
sacred place. From very early time
II has been firmly believed that portions
Of the Ark still remained on the sum-
NIT. This is affirmed by, at least, one
Greek father of early date. Adventur.
ous climbers are said to have been
overpowered by an irresistible inclina-
ticn to slumber, which has frustrated
their hopes of reaching the summit,
This was considered clear proof OF
some supernatural guardianship. But
there was yet a legend in reserve TO
confute the doubters. A monk in the
monastery at its foot desired so ar
IDENTIFY to gaze on the sacred relics that
he returned again and again TO the
attack, always to fall asleep. But, at
last, an angelic form stood by him ms
he slumbered, and told him that man
might not tread on such holy ground,
but that his faith should be rewarded
with fragment from the timbers OF
the Ark. When he awoke It lay by
his side, and is still preserved, so the
story runs, in the monastery.
So strong is this belief that not many
years ago an eminent Armenian eccle,
siastic, when told by an Englishman
that he had just returned from the
summit of Ararat, beamed upon him
with a benevolent smile of superior
knowledge, and gravely replied: THAT
is impossible; no one can ascend
Ararat." But of late years-notwith'
standing this simple way of settling
the questionable summit has been sew
eral times reached. The first to make
the ascent was Parrot, professor al
Dorpat, in 1929. AS he relates in hI
well-known book, "A Journey to Ara
rat" he twice failed, but was success
full at his third attempt. He was fol
LEVIED at rather long intervals by othel
explorers, among whom was the emf
nent geologist Abich, in 1845, and in
that year the first Englishman, Mr.
Digby Seymour, arrived on the sum
nit. An ascent was made in 1876 by
Prof. Bryce. This was certainly mo-
the least memorable, for his compan
ions became exhausted, and wer,
obliged to halt, while he made his way
up for rather more than four hours
quite alone. Fortunately of the two
routes by which the summit general
| ly has been reached-the northwest
ern and the southeastern-he had Sc

ODDS AND ENDS.

A cycling firm in Cologne has patent
ed a new bicycle bell, in which Is con
cealed a kind of revolver, which is to
serve the double purpose of frighten-
ing away vicious dogs and cheeky
tramps. BY merely pressing a button
attached to the side OF the bell ten
cartridges can be fired off in succession,
these giving such loud report that
obnoxious persons and animals would
not think twice of beating a hasty re-
treat.
Machines for treating coffee, used
in Brazil are made in the United
States, but require improvements in
view of local conditions. Thus the
coffee driers are very unsatisfactory,
and the inventor Of thoroughly ef-
fective drier would reap fortune In
Brazil. Driers as now made use too
high temperature, and the product
Is not uniform. II seems the solution
of the problem would lie in the use
of comparatively low temperatures and
of an exhaustlng pump.
A student of Spanish annals has add

an able seaman was only, 1t seems. 10
francs a month, while captain drew

Of 1000 francs. or $500, per annum.
