Which Have Done the Most for the
Advancement of Mankind?


Ernest Seton-Thompson, author Of
''Wild Animals l Have Known" "The
Biography of Grizzly" etc, in writ
ing in the March Century of "The
National Zoo at Washington" raises
an interesting question as to the rela-
tive value of domestic animals and
human inventions.
At the beginning Of this century
the continent of North America was
one vast and teeming game range.
Not only were the buffalo in millions
across the Mississippi, but other large
game were fully as abundant, though
less conspicuous. Herds of elk, num-
bering ten Or fifteen thousand, were
commonly seen along the upper Mis-
souri,. The antelope ranged the high
plains in herds of thousands; white
tail deer, though less gregarious. were
seen in bands of hundreds; while big
horn sheep, though still less disposed
to gather in large locks, were rarely
out of sight in the lower parts of the
eastern Rockies. and it was quite
usual to see several hundred blacktail
in the course of a single days travel.
But a change set in when the pion-
eer Americans, with their horses,
their deadly rifles, their energy and
their taste for murder, began to in
wade the newly found west The set
tiers increased in npmber5 and t1e
rifles became more docdiT

An American on Joubert.

The London correspondent of the
Matin has wired some extracts from
the letter Of an American volunteer
with the Beers The writer describes
General Joubert as an old fox, who
knows his business well and who will
not move unless he is sure of success.
He says that he leaves the attack to
the English, the result being that
while they lose five men he loses only
one. The English artillery is good,
though the guns are inferior in range
to those of the Beers. but the English
cavalry is far less useful than theirs.

Lollinq Tongue.

Some one frequently asks how to pre-
vent horse from carrying his tongue
out of his mouth. The most simple and
effectual method that can be devised is
a stiff, crooked bit, put in the mouth
upside down" This brings the bow
of the bit so far up in the mouth that
the horse can not get his tongue over
it. 1t is complete success. Such bits
may be bought of any harness dealer.
The bit can be bent so as to project
as far into the mouth as desired.

A LOST DESERT MINE.


From the Denver Republlcan.I
That particularly barren and dreary

~ In connection with che plentiful leg

have been located and lost again by pio-

who has spent much time in Ransburg
or the territory adjacent to it has been
tempted by some wild-eyed prospector
out of the desert beyond to go in quest
of one Of these lost mines" Usually
the John the Baptist of promised wealth
is treated cavalierly by the tender
foot who has had experience in other
mining territories.
It happened once, however, that two
prominent Colorado mining men, so
journing in Randsburg, took a hermit

that he had found a mysterious bonan-

Nuu very long ago James J. Brown,

Of a flyer" He was accompanied bv
few experts in his employ and James

EMERGENCY ITEMS.
Brought Before House Committee on
River and Harbors.


Washington, April 10-The river and
harbor committee determined on sew
eraI questions of general policy today
regarding emergency work that requires
early attention. It was decided to rec
ommend an emergency appropriation
not exceeding 100000 to be expended
by the chief of engineers, General Will
son for the channels of navigable
streams which have been choked with
rock proving a menace to river traffic,
as in the case of the Shrewsbury river
near Long Branch.
The committee also considered the
adVisability of recommending amounts
for not exceeding three places where the
needs are exceptional and even critical
viz, the south pass of the Mississippi
the connecting waters between Lakes
river, Oregon The south pass emery
ency work could he carried on for
about $150,000 and would not involve the
whole project. The work on the lakes
contemplates a new channel by way of
Lake St. George, to relieve the conges-
tion on the present Sault Ste Marie
channels.
Senator Mcbride. of Oregon, who was
before the committee with a number
of kilograms, stated that the level of
the Columbia had been lowered from
30 feet to "a feet, and urged an emery
ency appropriation.
The committee is considering these
latter items and probably viii allow
them because of the pressing needs ia
volved. The committee does not pro-
pose, however, that this shall open the
door TO any work outside these three
emergency items.
