An antelope is as curious as wom-
an. If the hunter will lie down in the
grass and wave red handkerchief, a
band of antelope will keep circling
around until within reasonable distance
for safe shot. After completing a
circle the antelope halt suddenly and
bring down one fore foot with vigor-
GUS stamp on the ground. and at the
same instant they make sort Of snort
that sounds like half whistle. That
Is the propitious moment for peppering
them with rifle balls.
learned this trick when a frontiers
man came along and found me crawl
ing for miles on the level prairie en-
deavoring to get shot at one of the
timid creatures. The man asked me If
l thought could get him. answered:
"Get him! I've got to get him. I'm
out of meat" He then posted me
about lying still and flirting with the
handkerchief, and found they liked
that better than chasing, and l made
an entry right there that an antelope
possessed some of the characteristics
of a woman.-Exchange.

Insects and X Rays.

A writer in The American x Ray
Journal tells Of some unusual expert
ments upon insects with Roentgen rays.
A box was made, half of wood and
half of sheet lead. In the wooden half
n number Of larvae Of flies, bees, bee
ties and other insects were placed. and
the box was then put in the field of the
X rays. The insect colony at once be-
came greatly excited, and after crawl
ing to and fro finally emigrated TO a
worm to the leaden half of the box,
w..ore the rays could not penetrate.
The experiment was repeated many
times and always with the same result
A similar experiment was tried with
tie blind larvae of a certain species of
beetle. A number of them were placed
in an open cigar box, which also con-
tanned a metal box with an opening.
No sooner were the rays turned on
than the insects showed signs Of dis
tress. Their uneasiness increased. and
in little while they all sought refuge
in the metal box. AS the Larvae In the
second experiment were entirely sight
less their perception of the rays must
take place through the nerves Of the
skin.

The women held hasty consulta-

Her wish was evidently gratitied, for
the next day when she called at the

told that shortly after she had left on

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters OF amusement and was a sort
of combination of our Monte Carlo and

The gentleness of bloodhound disposi-
tion is probably accounted for by their
not having been used to hunt and kill
prey. One of the most ancient anec-
dotes of these dogs attributes the cap
ture of fugitive to the use Of his own
bloodhound. The name itself is prob
ably modern one, based on vulgar
error that the dogs only followed persons
who were ''red handed from homicide
or who had about them the smell of re-
Gently killed sheep. The ancient nqme
was lyme deg or talbot. which latter

and We're imported into Jamaica, We're
not bloodhounds at all, but cross be-
tween the mostiff and bulldog or per-

where it was the duty of the church
wardens to keep them at the expense of
the community.
So.le of these dogs We're kept in Lon
don during the early days of the 20

feroc ty are probably not exaggerated,
though Lord Balcarres, who imported
900 of them into Jamaica to aid in sub
DUNG the maroons, never used them.
He frightened the negroes into submis-
sion by circulating the stories current
about the dogs. -London Spectator.
