BIG DEMAND FOR LAND.

old Pine Lands Now bringing Good
Prices.
One of the best indications of the pros
porous condition of this section of the
country is the fact that lands which were
not considered particularly desirable here
tofore are now being freely bought for
farming purposes.
There is a very good demand for land
in the country now" said the head of a
prominent naval stores house to Morn
ing News reporter yesterday. within the
last few weeks ii good many thousand
acres of land which have been denuded Of
their pine timber have been sold. The
naval stores houses are large holders of
this class of lands and until recently hey
We're in no demand whatever. Lands which
could hardly have been given away a year
or two ego are now in demand at $3.50 to
50 30 per acre. Some of these lands HAY e
scattered timber which can be used for
milling purposes, but the purchases are
generally being made for agricultural pur-
poses The fact that people in the country
are able and willing to buy such lands is
an indication of healthy state of affairs
in the pine belt"

There is much talk in England just
now of various people who propose to
cycle from the Cape of Good Hope.
South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt. The
matter has been discussed with several
authorities in the interior of Africa,
who give as their opinion that these
persons who talk lightly of such feat
can hardly know what an utterly i'm
possible one 1t is. A missionary who
has recently returned to London from
Uganda, laughed at the idea, indeed,
he declared it would be remarkable for
a man to do it on foot, even with a
large escort. The commissariat diff
culties would be the worst obstacle,
and there is a long stretch of country
where water is unobtaina BILE. Provis-
ions, medicine. ammunition, spare tires,
as well as calico and beads for trading
with the natives, would all have to be
carried SO that altogether. the pro-
posal is shown to be ridiculous in the
extreme. On the other hand, expert
travellers on the wheel point out that
the African paths leading from village
to village are said to be in very fair
condition for the wheel, and that the
cyclist would not need to be burdened
with as much baggage as the mission
airy seemed to think necessary, and,
moreover it is shown that bicyclists
have crossed Chinese deserts and pene-
trated into the interior of the empire
where no white traveller has yet VEN
tured on foot It is the belief among
the bicycle clubs of London that before
the end of the year some adventurous
wheelman will make the attempt to
journey from the Cape to Cairo on his
bicycle. OF course great fame and
probably fortune awaits the first sue
cesful tourist.

THE ANGLER

1t has generally been stated that the
camera will not lie and the suppose
ton has been that with a kodak the
veracious angler could substantiate his
tales of the big fishes he had taken on
his latest trip. But, things are not
what they seem," and the recent photo
graphic feat of three Kentucky fisher
men has upset all previous assumptions.
The three men exhibited, after a recent
fishing excursion, a picture of four 81
gantic fishes two-thirds as long as, the
men in the picture, weight unknown.
The actual length of the biggest fish
caught was three and one-fourth
inches! How did they get the lying
picture? They first had taken an ex-
posture on the men, two of them with
pole lying on their shoulders, the third
in the center behind the pole. They took
two pictures of the three fishes caught,
then cut out four of the fishes, gummed
them carefully upon the print from the
first picture of the men, and finally
from which were printed the pictures of
the men with their string of big fishes.
At the fish house of the A. Booth
Packing company, Denver, Col, on May
II, was exhibited a monster black sea
bass, labeled with sign claiming the
fish weighed 519 pounds. The monster
was shipped from San Pedro, Cal, to be
sold in the fish market of the company,
and crowds of Denverites gazed upon
the biggest fish ever seen in that city.
Il
The senate committee on fish and
game in the Michigan state legislature
has recommended a bill reducing the
number of deer which any one hunter
may lawfully kill in one season from
five to three. The bill also provides that
no one shall be allowed to ship any
deer except such as are killed by him
self, and that affidavits stating such
facts must be attached to every car
cass shipped, transportation agents
throughout the state being empowered
to administer oaths to those who pre-
sent deer for shipment.
