with us who is as big as all outdoors
and with his eyes peeled looks like
an oldfashioned picture OF the Infer

name ought to make him know better.
The keeper feeds the hippopotamus
with bran balls Punch is fond OF
these. They are rolled up and tossed
far into his Internal economy before he
can close his Jaws.
"A short time ago this keeper got
funny and leased Punch by holding a
ball OF the coveted morsel close to
his nose. where he could get the sweet
SAVIOR OF it. and then jerking 1t out OF
| his reach This was not a pleasing
performance for Punch. and in many
ways peculiar to his kind he showed
| IL. He lay down In his tank and
| held his nose low. and when the keep
er held out the bran ball he pretended
to he Indifferent or asleep. Seeing
this the keeper became careless ana
began rubbing the bran ball about
Punch's nose. Here is where Punch
| she ~ed the cunning OF ancestry. and.
| Whiting his chance. grabbed the keep
er.s hand between his teeth.
Wow wow-wow yelled the
keeper
'Whu-u-owa-a-a-h'' snorted Punch
In great delight
After enjoying the situation for a
minute or more and winking his eye
knowingly. he eased up on Spencer
hand. SO that the latter could get II
back TO Its original ownership. Punch
then slid back into his tank of water
and the noise that rniiied the surface
Indicated that he was having a jolly
good laugh underneath at the expense
OF Spencer.

Ernst Andrce, brother Of the ex-
plorer. s. A. Andree. believes that his
brother is alive. and that he will be
heard from by the latter part OF the
coming summer. Ernst Andree il
thoroughly acquainted with HIS broth
er's plans and is better able to discuss
the notable fate OF the polar expedition
than any other living scientist. He
hss made study OF the movements OF
the northern Ice pack, OF aerial cur
rents In that latitude. and OF the
known bodies Of land in proximity to
the pole. He assisted the explorer in
designing, eQuipping and testing the
balloon In which 8. A. Andree and two
companions started from Norway, for
the north pole July II, 1897 A note
dated July Is, 1897 Was brought back
BY . carrier pigeon four days after the
start was made. Mo word has been re-
celved since from the party.
Rrnat Andree advances the theory
that the balloon was blown about BY
eonnlcting currents Of air and finally

would take the party three arctic sum.

Cora for Fodder.

Corn that Is to be grown for fooder
should not be planted too close. Inc
old idea used to be to. SOW 1t very
close under the Impression that the
closer it was planted the more would
be produced on an acre. The opposite
Is the fact to a certain limit. II
should be planted far enough apart to
permit each stalk to get a good
growth. This we'll developed stalk
will be able to make strong roots and
draw nourishment from soil further
down. When the corn is sown close
each stalk makes a very meager
growth and the roots are small The
feeding depth Is eurtaiied at the ex-
pense IF the total yield. The thick
ness of planting cannot be fixed by
an arbitrary rule. but must depend
on the strength of the soil and the
tariety OF corn grown. But the fact
should not be lost sight OF that the
stalks should be permitted to gel
about their full development to be goot
fodder.
