HOME OF THE MALLARD.
No Migratory Bird Covers a Wider
 Range of Territory.

No Migratory Bird Covers a Wider Range of Territory.
 No one of the ducks has wider range than the mallard, which, as has been said, is the progenitor of the common domestic duck. It is found over the entire northern portion of the world, and in America as far south as Mexi- co, while in Europe it breeds in south ern Spain and Greece. It is believed to be common throughout Asia, except in tropical India, and it is more or less abundant in northern Africa. Although migratory bird, the mallard may usu- ally be found throughout it's range in winter, provided there is open water, and so place where it may feed
 In many places in the northern Rocky Mountains, where the temperature of- ten goes to thirty and forty degrees be- low zero, malards may be foudn throughout the winter living in warm springs or along swift streams where the current is so rapid that the water never freezes. Thus it is seen that the winters cold has little to do with the migration of the malard-or, in fact,
 
 that if food is plentiful the birds can bear almost any degree of cold. It is the freezing of the waters and thus shutting off the food supply, that forces these island birds to move southward
 In the New England states the mal- lard is not a common bird, but in the southern states, the interior and Cali fornia it is extremely abundant.
 In the northern interior the mallard is shot from early October until the wa ters close in November and all through the winter it feeds in the marshes along the salt water, in the rice fields and along the sloughs and streams through out the interior, and becomes fat and well-f1avored and is eagerly pursued. It comes readily to decoys, and if one or more live ducks are tethered with the decoys to call down the wild birds they are quite certain to respond and to offer easy shooting to the gunner For r1erlv the mallard bred in considerable numbers within the limits of the United States, though it has never been a com mon bird at any season on the Atlantic coast north of New York. It formerly bred, however, in great numbers in H. linois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, as well as in the praisies of the farther west and about alkali lakes and pools on the high central pla- teau. Now most of the birds proceed farther north to breed, and Canada, the Hudson Bay country and the shores of the Arctic sea are all occupied by it during the nesting season. Dr. Brews- ter states that 'sit has been known in rare instances to nest in a tree, in such cases occupying a deserted nest of a

hawk, crow or other large bird.'' The mallard is one of our typical fresh-water ducks. It is rarely or nev- CT found on salt water, but, on the oth- CT hand, is common on the lagoone along the southern Atlantic coast, which are brackish Here it associates with many other fresh- water ducks, and is frequently seen flying in com pany with black ducks, springtails, widgeons and other species.
 Perhaps no one of our North Ameri- can ducks is so we'll known as the mal- lard, and yet it has comparatively few common names. It is called green head, wild drake, wild duck, English duck, French duck and gray duck or sometimes gray mallard for the female In Canada the same stock duck was formerly progenitor of the domestic duck. The French Canadians call it canard Francais or French duck. Mir Trumbull calls attention to the old but now obsolete duckinmallard a word supposed to be & corruption of duck and mallard, duck being the female and mallard the male. The word is thus the equivalent of duck and drake, it having been the custom seemingly to speak of the species by this double name.-For- est and Stream

THE MOUND BUILDERS.
Were They Identical With the Sioux
 Indians?

Were They Identical With the Sioux Indians?
 In paper read before the Minnesota Historical society recently, J. V. Brow CT, of St. Paul, presented evidence tned- ing to show that the mound builders of Minnesota were none other than the old full blooded Sioux Indians. He
 traced these aborignes back to their
 ancient habltations and villages and in
 the course of his researches arrived ar some surprising conclusions. After de-
 scribing every tribe of Indians known
 to have been permanent residents of the
 region explored, MT. Brewer gave his
 attention to the geological age of the
 lakes the surface of the ground. and
 to the rivers, creeks and other streams
 It was shown distinctly, he says that
 the mounds were built on the top of the
 black soil and of that material, indica- ting that hundreds of them are of more recent origin than many suppose. From the numerous village sites there save been collected stone, copper. flint and earthen objects and artifacts which are exactly which are exactly similar to the same kind of material taken from the mounds adjoining the village sites That fact shows that the people who built the mounds also occupied the ancient villages.
 Each of the village sites discovered has been explored and charted By the side of the chart of 1900 the Faquelin oh npt # ,1oo l | distinctly demonstrated by the two charts that the Sioux villagers residing in Mills Lacs in 16S8 were resident at identical places where village sites were observed in 1900.
 The next proposition submitted was proof from the records left by Radisson, Hennepln, Duluth, Le Sueur and Carver that the Sioux made and used stone clay pots, copper crescents, flint knives, quartz arrow points, and various stone and copper objects fol- lowing which it was demonstrated be- yond dispute that the Sioux removed the flesh from the remains of their dead and deposited the bones, in bundled condition, with the skull. Catlin's works were here produced to show that as late as 1885 the Sioux were building over their dead. A chart was shown delineatlng the bundled bones of Indians at the surface of the ground at Mile Lacs, with mounds of earth built over them.
 James w. Lynd, historian of the Sioux nation was quoted showing that the Dakota people were at Mile Lacs at very ancient period; in fact, so long go that no tradition remained to show

SIR ARTHURs DOG MELODY.
A Canine With an Educated Taste fin
 Music

A Canine With an Educated Taste in Music.
 It is not generally known that the late Sir Arthur Sullivan was not only pas sionately fond of dogs, but had made a special study of them in every way. The brilliant composer. whose loss is indeed a blow to the world at large,
 declared frequently to the writer of this
 article that in the dog is embodied all
 the necessary conditions for the appre-
 ciation of music of all kinds, and that
 the organ of hearing in a dog is of mar
 velous delicacy Sir Arthur bore out
 the truth of this statement by relating
 the following fascinating anecdotes of
 incidents which came directly under his
 notice Some ten or fifteen years ago,
 when Sir Arthur was accustomed to go
 down to the theater very regularly in
 order to conduct the rehearsals of his
 own operas, he was followed every
 morning by dog, which entered the
 theater the same time az he did, placed
 Itself between the legs of the musicians
 and listened delightedly, eagerly, to the
 music. This occurred day after day
 pntl the constant appearance of the
 dog at the rehearsals excited the curi-
 osity and admiration, not only of Sir Arthur himself, but of all the musi- clans, who, not knowing its name, gave
 him that of Melody. Very soon he was
 petted by all, and each one in turn in- vited the dog to dinner: Melody, will you dine with me to-day?" These q, n,nsa f.J
 lowed his host ate heartily. and as soon as dinner was over rushed off again to the theater, found it's way to the orchestra, placed itself in corner, and never left until the evening per formance was finished. Nothing could be more amusing, more curious, than the attitude of Melody during the per formance. If new work was being performed he found it out before the overture had been played many sec onds He listened with the greatest at- tention. If the piece abounded in rich and original melodies he testified his pleasure by his delighted barks and by his feet rapidly on the ground. On the other hand. if the piece was only ordinary-insi alphabetically invariably gaped or yawned, turned his back upon the orchestra, gazed around the boxes, and at last slunk away in a decidedly bad humor. This expressive pantomime
 was the most piquant criticism of the new opera. When the work of some great master was played Melody always knew the precise moment when an ar tst was going to sing some striking song or play some special part of the work, and then his movements, his ges- lures, were such as to almost plead for silence among the spectators. "I do not know" said Sir Arthur, not many weeks before his death, what became of this dog later on, but his name and his reputation are still fresh in the of several musicians who have frequently seen his singular an- .ics.
