A college professor in Maine tells how
he convinced a friend who did not be
lieve that beavers could build dams. He
bought a baby beaver of hunter and
sent il to his skeptical friend.
The creature became great pet in the
house, but showed no signs of wanting to
build a dam until one Monday morning
a leaky pail full of water was put on
the floor OF the back kitchen. The beaver
was there. lie was only a baby, to be
sure, but the moment he sa~ the water
oozing out of a crack in the pail he
scampered into the yard, brought in q
chip and began his work.
His owner was called and watched the
little fellow, very much astonished al
what he saw. He gave orders to have
the pail left where il was, and the indus
trious beaver kept at his work fouI
weeks, when he had built solid dam all
around the pail.-Animal World.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, May 24.-The House prac-
ticallv devoted eight hours today TO the
consideration OF the Alaskan civil gov
eminent bill, but progress was slow. The
amendments of importance were adopted.
One of them authorized the secretary
OF war to issue permits TO excavate or
dredge for gold below low water mark
on the beach ut Cape Nome. The secre-
tary has heretofore issued permits, but
the bill as it passed the Senate cancelled
them. The House also struck out the
chapter relating to arrest and bail which
permitted arrests in certain civil actions.
The conference report ON the Indian ap-
paopriation bill was adopted.
