the uniform tendency toward demo-
cracy has political significance that
cannot be explained merely by local
issues. In Madison county the demo-
Gratis elect five supervisors where they
had one last year. In OnondaSa coun-
ty the democrats gain seven supervis-
ors. In Herkimer county the demo-
Gratis gain three supervisors, with one
town to hear from. In Montgomery

vote. Gains are similarly reported
from every county in which elections

Observing Sportsman Astonished by the
Beaver, Otter and Muskrat.

From Sports Afield.
1t is generally understood that the
beaver, otter, mink and muskrat are
semi acquatic in their habits, but it is
doubtful whether anyone can say to
what extent they are able to dispense
with the regular respiration, so essen
tial to life in all warm blooded ami
mails, and, of course. impossible for
them while beneath the surface of the
water. bit of information upon this
point would be of great interest to me.
and, | presume, to many of your read
ers as Well In my hunting expeditions

have talked with many experienced
hunters on the subject and have found
that there is a common belief that the
animals mentioned share with the
fishes an ability to draw supply of
oxygen from the water, but the fallacy
of this idea is apparent at a glance.
The respiratory organs of the otter
and mink differ in no way from those
of the raccoon and rabbit. So far as
| can seen their lung capacity is COM
parative1y no greater. How. then can
the otter stay so long beneath the sur
face when the rabbit can hardly sur
viye momentary submersion?
While camping on Reelfoot lake in
Western Tennessee some years ago I
was afforded an excellent opportunity
of observing the habits of mink which
resorted for fishing to shallow pond
near at hand. The pool was probably
100 feet wide and double that length,
hardly two feet deep in the center and
quite clear. It was full of small fish,
principally perch and jack and the
mink undoubtedly found it a very ac-
ceptable larder. At all events, | found
him there three evenings in succession
and on each occasion he took hurriedly
to the water, dived beneath the sur
face and evinced a strong determine
ton to stay thar" The first evening
of his disappearance puzzled me some

l. 1t was carried from Dawson city
to the nearest outpost of civilization by
Jimmy jackson, an Indian, who has a
record for going where no otner man
can go.
The letter announces the establish

and says that there is food enough to

visions reach the miners by April l the

Mr.. Young writes that he and his
companion are the only missionaries
who reached Klondike City, two miles
from Dawson city, their destination, be-
fore the winter set III since then, of
course, nobody has arrived there.
They started at once to provide
place of worship for the miners. On
this point Mr.. Young says:
