CAT AND COYOTE.
Meet and Fight 1t Out on the Open
Prairie. - -s-

From the Boise Statesman.
A Boise gentleman passing over the sage
brush plains near Meridian the other day
was treated to an exhibition that was as
strange as it was interesting. 1t was a
battle between a cat and a coyote. 1t was
early morning. and plainly the nights
prowlng over the prairie had netted the
coyote nothing in the way of good
square feed. When first seen he was
stealthily gliding about. his nose to the
ground, searching, as they always are, for
something to appease his Unsuitable appe-
tite He stopped and was surveying the
surroundings from g. slight Knoll, When
there appeared on the scene great tomcat,
a burly fellow, who also seemed on quest
for breakfast-some toothsome morse!, as
a cOttontafl or young grouse. When lom
hove in sight the coyote smiled satisfied
smile. Ali things come to the patient, he
must have thought, and he at once pre-
pared to take unto his inner self the boun-
ties that nature provided. Tom had not at
first seen the coyote; in fact, was not
aware that foe was near until the first
charge, when the coyote sprang at him.
But. quick as flash, he parried the first
thrust and then squared for action. With
back up and fur on end, the cat stood his
ground for the second onslaught. Ruffian
like, the coyote plunged into the battle, in
tent on bearing down his antagonist with
brute force alone, and this probably saved
left swinging blow on the coyotes jaw, let
ting first blood, then jabbed with the right,
bringing the coyote to a stand. The coyote
went to his corner under a ,sagebruSh
bleeding. In the second round the coyote
sprang into the fight much as in the first,
and with about the same result to him.
The cat uppercut him as he rushed in, then,
swinging. mauled him with left and right,
until the air was full of brown-gray hair.
The round was furious throughout, with
honors clearly for Tom. The coyote might
have been counted out if the gophers that
watched the bout had counted. He deIib-
Grated long before coming in for the third
round, but his belly ruled his mind and to
tne scratch he came, slowly this time.
Tom was ready, and rushed the fight He
crowded the coyote and backed him over
the knoll, planting left or right when
ever and wherever he pleased Finally,
after much sparring, Tom got in the deadly
Knockout blow. The fight was his but he
took no mean advantage. When the coy
ote was down he stood over him, giving
him more than the limit of time for him
to come up, but "canis latronis" had
enough. He skunk away to his sagebrush.
and "felis domestica,' his back still up.
with his head over his shoulder to see that
he was not made the victim Of treachery
sided off to continue his hunt for a nice

SHIPBUILDING AND IRON.
How the Metal First Came to BE Used
in Nautical Construction.


The story of the use of iron as ma
terial for the construction of ships is
full of interest. Iron was long ago used
sxperimentally for building boats; sew
sral references to these crude attempts will
be found in the annual register of last
century. Grantham quotes from a publi-
cation dated July %, 1877. The writer says:
"A few days ago a boat built of En- glish
iron by ]. Wilkison, esq, of Bradley Forge
came up our canal of this town. loaded
with % tons and 10 hundredweight of its
own metal, etc. 1t is nearly of equal di-
mensions with other boats employed upon
the canal, being 30 feet long and 6 feet S1s
inches wide; the thickness of the plates
with which 1t is made is about five-six-
teenths of an inch, and it is put together
with rivets. like copper or fire engine boil
ers; but the stem and stern posts are wood
and the gunwale lined with the same; the
beams are made of elm planks.
Her weight is about eight tons she
Will carry, in deep water, upward of 81
tons. and draws eight or nine inches of
water when light 1t is extraordinary
dead. Was there no shipbulder with an
eye swift to witness the enormous possi-
bilitieS latent in these little canal expert
ments? A small iron boat was launched
in August, 1915 She was fitted up in I.iv-
erpoOl as a pleasure boat. Hundreds view
ed her as curiosity. She was sunk ma
liciously in the Dukes dock, as though
some Daniel Quilp of q workman, foresee-
ing iron as an issue if this boat was suffer-
ed to go on limiting, had put an end to
her. Her owner raised her and sold her
for old iron; but the loss of this boat"
he says, turned my attention to the prac-
ticability of making an iron boat which
could not be sunk by any ordinary means. ;"

MARKS IN WATCHES.
How ReDairers Can Tell When and
Where Work Was Done.

From the New York Tribune.
There was a crowd around the counter of
jewelry store where watches are received
for repairs. A woman who was evidently
in hurry made her way to the place where
the man with the magnifying glass stood,
and handed little watch to him.
will you please tell me what ails this
watch?" she asked.
The watch doctor opened the case delib-
erately. peered into the works, and said
1T needs cleaning"
My! that seems strange" said the wo-
man. you cleaned it only a few months
ago"
rs that SOP asked the man, and opened
the case once more and made another ex-
animation with the aid of miniature mi
croscope. Then he handed the watch back
and said: We cleaned this watch in De-
cember, 1896, and it has not been in our
hands since that time
rs that so? / must be mistaken, but
how do you know when it was cleaned
last?'
The man explained that it was no trick
of memory, but simply the result of a sys-
tenn whenever a watch is brought to
us he said. 'to be cleaned, regulated re-
paired or fixed up we put a tag on it
which is numbered to correspond with a
number in our work book. In the book we
record the styles and make of the watch
the owner. what repairs are to be made
and the amount charged for the work, and
when the workman finishes the job he puts
the same number in microscopic figures On
the edge of the inner case. A letter or
sign also shows what has been done to the
watch. So. you see, when watch comes
here, We look for mark of that kind and
when we find it we refer to the book, and
there you are"
The woman left the watch with the man
of system, and when she had gone he said ::
That happens many times day We
have the most fun with the people who say
You guaranteed this watch fer a year
when you repaired it. and here it is out of
order again The glass usually reveals
the fact that the watch was due to break
months, and sometimes years ago."
All watchmakers keep records and mark
the watches which are placed with them
for repairs, but no two have the same sys-
TEN. Some makers mark the watch with
the name of the workman, and a record
number after it; some mark the date and
the workman's initial on the case and
others have signs in conjunction with these
designations to show just what work has
been done on the timepiece.
This system of marking and recording
watches is of much service to the police
also, and lost and stolen watches are iden-
titled daily by means of the watchmaker's s
private marks.

ON THEIR BACKS.
Songsters Helped Across the Medfter,

| ouestcTs ucipeu Across the Medifer.
ranean by Larger Birds.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
| How ever the little birds contrive to pot
] across such vast eXpanses of the sea in
| their annual migrations Is a puzzling cues
| ton.
That they do 1t is unquestionable; it is
| admhtted by the most competent observers
| that they sometimes get over stretches of
| billowy brine that for thousand miles
| afford no perch for their weary little claws
| to clutch on. That such an extended flight
| Is too much for them Is not only evident In
| itself, but Is proved by the fact that these
| TOO Venturesome songsters sometimes alight
/ On the rigging of ships in such a state of
| exhaustion that when disturbed they are
unable to fly the length of the vessel and
| occasionally even fall helpless upon the
| deck. ~
An English traveller who was cons,dsra-
| piy interested in the birds happened to be
passing the autumn tn the Island of Crete
IN the Mediterranean, and he often noticed
| sound ike the twittering of small birds
at times when the sand cranes We're pass
Ing overhead on their way southward AS
| the only fowl'in sight were the cranes, this
| aroused his curiosity, and he mentioned the
matter to a friend who was a native of the
island, suggesting that possibly the noise
was caused by the whirring of the feathers
of these great birds. His friend however.
| said no; the noise, he declared, was made
by song birds that were riding on the backs
of the cranes. and he further asserted that
| the saucy little fellows had come all the
way from the coast of Europe with their
| good-natured companions, who lent, IL not
| helping hand, helping back, which was
much more serviceable, as often as needed.
few days later the Engiishman got pref
ty conclusive proof of the truth of these
statements. He was cruising about in a
boat about fifteen miles from shore when
another flock Of cranes passed overbeaJ
and he heard the same twittering notes. He.
| therefore. discharged his gun to see what
would come OF 1t, and forthwith he saw
three small birds rise up from the flock in
fright. After short time they disappeared
among the. cranes.
The next day he was visiting Cairo, in
Egypt, and observed a great number of
wagtails in the palm gardens there. After
watching them for some time as they hop

A DESERTED CITY.
Bridgewater, Ont, is without an In.
habitant TO Admire Its SpIendOr.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
In the county of North Hastings, Ont, in
| deserted town called Bridgewater which
| is built entirely of marble. About twenty
| five years ago farmers wife was search
ing in the woods for a pig that had streyed
| away. In a particularly dense part of the
forest she found a cold spring of crystal
water, and stopped to drink from it. AS
she did so, she slipped on round stone and
fell INTO the water. Attracted by the
peculiar color of the stone, she fshed il out
and took 1t home. Investigation showed it
to be a twenty-pound nugget of almost
pure gold.
Within six months the wilderness had
| blossomed into the thriving town of Bridge
water. with five Thousand inhabitants
There We're old Forty-niners from the Pa
cine slope, amateurs from Great Britain
and the United States prospActors from
every field. Shafts and tunnels were driven
by the hundreds. In the sinking of a shaft
a mile south of the town, on a claim Of B.
f1int OF Beileyille, who is now a mamber
of the Canadian senate, a vein of white
marble was discovered. At the suggestion
OF Flint, who wanted little or nothing for
the material, the town of Bridge water V as
oultt OF solid marble. 1t has even TO this
day court house, school, church. hotel,
stores and private dwellings constructed
wholly Of this material
While the town was booming the entire
Nouiitiy iouuu was pfOSpscteQ- Some of the
shsafts and tunnels We're driven more than
a hundred feet in depth, but, remarkable as
1t may seem, there was never enough gold
found to pay the cost of a single mine in
the district.
The place where the original nugget was
found was christened "Aladdin's cave"
and the land in its vicinity sold al fabulous
prices. one farmer whose farm adjoined
the cave sold five acres to an English syn
dicate for 100000 cash. The syndicate
spent another 100000 in developing the
claim, but never obtained an ounce of free
gold. An aged Irishman at Bridgewater
Patrick Keough, received an offer of sI-a.-
Ooo for his farm which consisted of a hum
dred acres of rock-piled, barren land. He
refused the offer, holding out for $780, 600
Wfich he never got. Today any one could
buy the property for 81 an acre
WITHIN couple of years It became ap-
parent TO all that mining in Bridgegatar
would never pay, and the pr1spectors and
citizens departed, leaving the marble town
TO settle down to a futureless deso!ation.

in the afternoon, and going out In the
evening.
But perhaps the most conclusive example
is that of Queensland, the climate Of which
is completely tropical; yet white men work
in every part of it. Whether as gold min
ers, sheep shearers, sugar workers or rail-
way builders, there has never been any
complaint that white men cannot WORK.
while almost all the heavy mechanical
work of the country, engineering of every
kind, carpentering and all the various build
ing trades and the scores of varied INDUS
tries of a civilized community are carried
on by white workmen without any diffl-
Guilty and with no special effect on their
general health. This case really settles the
question.
The True Explanation.
The fact is that white men can live and
work anywhere in the tropics, if they are
obliged, and unless they are obliged they
will not, rule, work even in the most
temperate regions. Hence. wherever there
are inferior races, the white men get these
to work for them. and the kinds of work
performed by these interiors become infra
dig. for the white man. This is the real
reason why the myth. as to white men not
being able to work in the tropics, has been
spread abroad. 1t applies in most cases to
agricultural work only, because natives can
usually be got to do this kind of work
while that of the skilled mechanics has
usually to be done by white men. And an
other reason is that II Is only by getting
cheap labor in quantity that fortunes can
be made in most tropical countries. But
when people come to recognize that the
fortune-makers, whether by gold-mining
speculating or any of the various forms of
thinly yelled slavery, are not by any means
the happiest, the healthiest or the wisest
men, whereas those who really work, under
the best conditions, so to receive the
whole produce of their labor, may be both
healthy and happy, will usually live longer
and enjoy life more, and by working in as
sociation may obtain all the necessares and
comforts of eXistence-then the enormous
advantage of living in the best parts of the
tropics Will become evident. For not only
is nature much more productive that
equal amounts of produce may be obtained
with half. or perhaps a quarter, of the
labor required in northern lands, but the
essentials of happy and an easy life are
so much fewer in number. Houses may lie
slighter and far less costly: clothing may
be reduced to less than half what is re-
quired here; fuel is only wanted for cock
ing; while the enjoyablity of the early
morning hours is great that everybody
rises before the sun, and thus comparative
ly little artificial light is required When
all this is fully realized We may hope TO see
cooperative colonies established in many
tropical lands, where families of the same
grade of education and refinement may so
live as really to enjoy the best that life can
give them. Thus only, in my opinion, can
the best use be made of the tropics.
