CHANGES IN POST OFGGOAT DND ON DOLLARS At MIDNIGHT Of JUNE B
HOW CAPTAIN BLANCHARD LOST
TWELVE DOLLARS.
one of His Pets Enjoys an Expensive
Midday Meal on the Forecastle of the
BengalOre.

Captain Blanchard of the ship
Bengalore is the proud possessor of a
goat which has just established a record
that is the talk of the water front. All
shippers have heard of goats that go
alOft and look wise in the rigging, but
Captain Blanchard's goat has just eat
en- twelve dollars worth of gold
and hereafter it will introduce all the
mixtures 1t mastiCates into a gilt-lined
stomach.
When he arrived here Captain Blan-
chaTd decided to have his billet-head
painted, and a cOlored gem'man Of
Honolulu was engaged to do the job.
When the painter went to lunch yes
terday he left box of gold leaf on
deck in a basket The gold leaf had
just cost his $l2. All hands disappeared
for the midday meal and the goat was
left in solitude on deck. What happened
while he was alone was not witnessed,
but when the mate bobbed up serenely
from below he was startled by the ap-
partition of a goat whose face glistened
a brilliant yellow in the sun, and whose
venerable whiskers We're full of the
precious metal. The goat was slowly
chewing a paint brush. An alarm was
sounded and an investigation made.
Various parts of the forecastle were
found to be decorated with gold and
| bits of basket were lying around. When
the painter returned to his task he rec
ognized the bits of basket as having
been a part of the receptacle that once
held his gold leaf. There was leaf stick
ing to the goats mouth and tongue,
and leaf is on his face yet
This morning the painter hunted up
| Captain Blanchard and told his tale of
woe. The goat had eaten all the gold
| leaf said the painter, it would cost 81
| to get another box, and he couldn't dc
| any more work without it, He had nc
I idea that there was goat around and
| hadn't thought goats would eat gold
| anyhow The captain took pity on him
and forked out $12 for another box OF
! gold leaf, and the painter went away
! happy, but with an exaggerated idea OF
! the goats appetite. The mate showed
him a coat with a big piece eaten out
of it, and the bosn told him Of a jump
| er that had gone the way of the gold.
Captain Blanchard's goat is quite a
| character, according to those on board
| When not eating things he drags a cart
| around the deck with the captains lit
| tie boy. There is also a pig on the
| Bengalore, and there are chickens, q
| cat and seven kittens.

Like Their Kin of the states They Seem
Destined to Extinction. q
The wood bison, as the buffalo OF
British North America is known. ap-
pears to be doomed to extinction. ].
A. Allen of the American Museum Of
Natural History in his notes on the
wood bison summarizes the number of
these buffalo estimated to exist during
the last ten years as follows: Estimate
In 1889 of Professor Hornaday. now
director of the New York Geological
society, $50; Russell, 1894. few hun
dred; Jarvis, 1897, about 300; Moberly,
1897, $50 to 300, and Stone. 1899, 6O.
The home of the wood bison has been
in the neighborhood of the Great Slave
lake in the northwest territory Within
the last six years these bison seem to
have worked northward, and Mr.. Allen
they have been exterminated entirely
from their former range south of the
Peace river. and that few years more
will suffice for their complete exterm-
nation Frank Russell, who hunted
the wood bison in 1894, wrote of them
in 1898, saying: THE herd at present
consists of few hundred only. They
are so wary that only one effective shot
can be fired, when they betake them
selves to instant fight, and. as with
the moose, pursuit is altogether futile.
They cannot be hunted in summer. as
the country which they inhabit is mos
quito infested and wooded swamp at
this season. They can only be killed
by stalking in midwinter, when their
pelage is at its best. The Indians
along the Peace and Slave rivers make
occasional trips into the buffalo coun-
try with dog teams to establish lines
of marten traps. When they discover
a band of buffaloes, they, of course,
kill as many as they can, but they
have not made systematic efforts to
hunt them for their robes, as they have
the musk OK. Fortunately the officers
OF the company have exerted their in
fuence toward the preservation OF the
buffalo, not trading for the robes until
the recent advent of rival traders. Dur
Ing the winter of 1928 forty buffa-
loes were killed, the largest number
that had been secured for several years.
! saw most of these robes. which were
very dark, the hair thick and curled,
making a robe superior to that OF eth
er musk or or plains buffalo. They
were SO large that the Indians had to
cut many of them in half for conve-
nience in hauling on the sleds From
SO to $50 is paid for the robes"

RIVERS ARE TREAcHERoUs.
In Times of Freshet They Frequently
Change Their Course.

Change Their Course.
The rivers OF China, like the people,
are extremely treacherous. They have
no fixed channels, but move in the i'm
petuous floods that come pouring
down from the mountains in the rainy
season, sometimes as much as 100
miles from their old beds, leaving the
intervening tracts buried deep under
the sand, destroying life, making a
desert OF cultivated fields over an area
Of many hundreds Of miles. and plum
ging the farming population into terri
BILE poverty and famine. The enor-
nous canals, constructed by the gov
ernment to correct the evil, have been
Of no avail in this direction, although
they have formed in the past great
waterways crowded with craft, along
which supplies of food and merchan-
disc can be carried to the markets at
trining cost. Modern engineering,
when the breakup of China comes.
will find the subsection Of Chinese
rivers a problem that will challenge
all its genius and perseverance, and 1T
may accomplish here what it has
failed to do with other great streams
whore the alluvial soil is carried down
by the current to block the mouth and
place tantalizing obstacle in the way
Of navigation. The Pei Tho is az crook
ed as a pennon flying in the wind.
and the present lowness Of the water
is due to the long drought that has
prevailed in the high lands to the
north, where 1t rises. Two years ago
steamers that now anchor at Taku,
twenty miles or more down stream,
ran to Tientsin, where they could take
their cargo and where passengers
could go on board comfortably and
conveniently. The change, under the
present circumstances, constitutes the
chief difficulty in reaching the capital.
For at Tientsin the passenger landing
at Taku must change cars, continuing
the journey to Pekin from the former
point.
