White Moose.

The white moose of Minnesota Is at
II again. Like the dappled tiger in
Kipling's inimitable story, this beast
makes his spectral appearance at I'M
expected times and at irregular inter-
walls. and when reported there is bound
To be a commotion. Unlike the tiger.
the advent of the white moose is not a
sign of trouble, but 1t is the sign OF
much unrest and activity. For every
rifle owner in Minnesota has heard the
story since his babyhood. and would
swap a finger for that moose without
stopping to think.
This white moose Is said to be a
monster. There never was moose OF
any color since the world began so big.
1t is a bull, of course. and is credited
with the speed OF a hurricane.
And now the question arises, asst has
often arisen before. is there any white
moose? 1t is safer to ask the question
here in New York than out in the Min
nesota woods. where thousands OF ma
tives know people who have seen it.
Still, 1t will strike you as singular that
search as you may you will never find
a man who saw the white moose with
his own eyes. So far as evidence is
concerned he is a creature of rumor.
Nevertheless, there are hundreds now
starting into the woods for the win
ter shooting who openly express the
hope OF a shot at the white moose

From his airy height be heard:
Ever. ever. for that ground
Only gentle sound.
Let the singing winds. which be

Singing softly, by her lie.
Softly singing. die.
Let the bee which sucked the bloom
Homeward journey by her tomb.
And his 1.-THE OF sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.

You with whom she went away.

EIephant Stories.


Talking of elephant fables, the ami
NAL trainer said:
flake, for instance, the story of the
man who stuck pin in the elephants
trunk and years afterward was del
uged with dirty water by the remem-
bering elephant. / am surprised that
any one should take this yarn serious
ly. Why, the average thickness Of the
elephants hide runs from half an inch
to two inches deep. Now, imagine a
pin going through that thickness on an
errand Of pain. 1t would swallow q
pin and break needle.
1.-THE old fashioned elephant story
that has any real basis of truth is the
one that makes the big brute afraid of
a mouse. Experience in the winter
quarters Of a show, where mice and
rats thrive, convinces one of this fact.
A mouse will make an entire herd
noisy with fright, and rat will put
them in condition of desperate fear.
An elephant may defend itself against
a lion, tiger or any other natural enc
my, but the insignificant size Of a
mouse battles his conception Of often
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk, and it
can scamper over his rough hide with
impunity. The elephant realizes his
helplessness against such diminutive
foe and learns to fear it as he fears no
other animal. Buffalo Express.

THE FARSEElNG CAMERA.
| 1t VIII Play . Clreat Part In Future
Astronomical Work.

1t VIII Play q 1reat Part In Future
Astronomical Work.
"The great astronomical discoveries
of the future" said one of the Tulane
faculty, Twill undoubtedly be made by
an artificial eye infinitely more sensi-
tive and powerful than human vision.
l refer, of course, to the camera. The
natural eye has it's distinct limitations
and has gone about as far as 1t can,
and now the Photographic plate Is TAX
ing up the work at the point where ma
ture leaves off. 1t requires a certain
definite amount of light, you know, to
affect the optic nerve so as to produce
vision, and many Of the stars are so far
away that less than that required
quantity reaches the earth. The con-
sequence is that an astronomer might
look for year in the right direction
without seeing anything at all, and no
telescope, however powerful, would be
of the slightest assistance.
''But with the camera the conditions
are exactly reversed. The longer a
camera looks at anything the clearer
the object becomes. A faint ray OF
light from an invisible star falls for
hour after hour on the sensitive plate,
and each moment increases the clear
ness of the picture. just like dropping
water wears a hole in stone. l have
star photographs the making of which
occupied four whole nights, and the
planets which they depict have never
been and never will be seen by man.
''Within the last few years hundreds
of invisible stars have been definitely
located and catalogued. We can't see
them, but we know they are there, be-
cause whenever the camera is directed
to that part of the heavens their hid
den image appears on the plate. Dur
ing the eclipse l secured fairly good
photograph of the phase Of totality,
and the picture shows all the surround
ing sky dotted with little points of
white. They are stars which did not
give out enough light to excite the
nerves Of vision, but which were seen
plainly enough by the faithful artificial
eye in the box Of my camera.
Another great advantage of the pho
tograph in astronomy is that it consti-
tutes definite record and does away
with disputes. 1t is rare thing for
two astronomers to agree as to what
they saw when taking simultaneous
observation. and the chances are that
both are honest but received different
impressions owing to their different
physical organization. All the old OBJ
servers vary in their descriptions of
the so called canals on Mars. The
photograph does away at once with
any chance of error, fraud or Illusion.
$50 repeat that the natural eye will
play only secondary part in the great
discoveries of the future. 1t is the arti-
fetal eye which will penetrate space
yet unfathomed. New Orleans Times

Love Birds,

It's the proper thing now for the
amorous swain to send pair Of love
birds to his inamorata, says Phila-
delphia dealer, who has them for sale
at $40 pair, including the cage. Love
birds are charming little things. They
come from China and Java, where they
are as plentiful as the English sparrow
is here. In fact they resemble the
sparrow in build, although they are
pure white and have quite large beaks
Of delicate pink. They are very af.
fectionate and will sit for hours press.
ed closely against each other on their
perch, billing and cooling in fine style.
The dealer, who is florist, says In
confidence that he has them on sale
because flowers are too common in
summer for the young men to send the
girls. and he thought the love birds
would just about fill the bill.

THROUGH RUSSIAN SOURCES.

Great Activity of Boxers and Imperial
Troops Reported.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. GA dispatch
from Shanghai, dated Thursday, Aug.
2, says that after Ii Hung Chang left
Canton the imperial troops joined the
Boxers.
The dispatch adds that the provincial
troops along the Yangtse river remain
quiet, owing to the promise of the vice
roy of Nankin to the foreign consuls.
Boxers, it is further stated in this
dispatch, are numbering missionaries
in South China, but are not disturbing
treaty ports. Troops are being Sc.
cretly brought to treaty ports.
Batteries of the Yangtse river, the
dispatch says, are being repaired and
new ones are being erected at WI
Sung. Despite the declaration Of the
viceroy that the work would be stopped,
five guns have been mounted. The
dispatch accuses the British Of q secret
understanding with the viceroy in ac-
counting for the indifference of the
British fleet to the strengthening Of the
Chinese Notifications at WI Sung.
