THE GOOSE-COW.
Novel Method of stalking the Birds In
the Platte Valley.

OF all the animals of the world which can
be used by man to assist in the hunt, ele-
plants. dogs, horses, falcons, and what not,
who would choose the poor, stupid old
COW as an animal suited TO such a pur-
pose? Nevertheless, out in Nebraska, along
the valley of the Platte, probably the one
river of it's kind in the world, nearly every
farmer has mis- goose-coW, which, il well
trained shows as much intelligence in the
hunt as Irish setter.
Early in spring--as early as the middle
of March, when the snow is still on the
ground---the first promise that the fat,
desOlate valley will soon be sea of wav-
ing blue-stem and bottom grass spotted
here and there with herds of cattle, the
timber claim will soon tell in the land
scape as a spot Of green rather than gray,
is the coming of the geese from the South,
from the valley of the Republican, that
here they may feast on the corn left in
the fields from the last falls husking.
The tirst day or two after their arrival
they spend on the river. Settling on some
sandbar. they begin to arrange their fea-
theirs, which in their long flight have been
sOiled and rufied. The black Canadian
leader may be seen walking around among
his white followers giving directions, no
doubt, 20 the young members of his flock
which are having their first experience in
migrating.
Between Z and 9 o'clock on the morning
OF about the third day. with loud quack-
ing and happing of wings, they rise en-
nasse to height OF eighty or a hundred
feet until they spot corn field. Then
each goose falls into his place in the V,
and IL is not long before they are roofing
shock and stubble for their breakfast
1t is at this time, while they are intent
upon their search for food, that the far
mer takes down his shotgun. slips in two
shells which he himself has loaded with
BIB shot and a charge OF powder that only
an oid-time goose gun will stand. and,
hurryinS TO the barn or cow shed. he turns
his goose cow into the field. If she be well
trained and an old hand at the business
she will need no prompting before she sees
what is expected OF her
Starting in almost an opposite direction
from the geese, she begins series OF cir
cles around them, each succeeding circle
bringing the hunter, who is all the while
crouchlng at her side nearer TO his game.
Il careful hunter with a welI-trained cow
can IN this way come within fifty or sixty
iset OF flock. whera, if he is also good
shot ne VIII drop at least two geese.
The geese are seldom eaten by the farmer
at the present day except when there is
a scarcity Of beef for they are no longer
necessary article Of food

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Every true American can but be amazed
at the character of the oath administered
&c the King OF England, which he was COM
PEELED to take before he could wear the
regal crown. Part of the obligation is a
harsh and very discordant note in the
triumphant song of progress and civiliza-
ton that ushered in the new century.
1t calls to mind the intolerance and per-
secution of the darker days in the worlds
history. 1t is a reassertion OF the right of
government to invade the sacred domain OF
the inalienable right of each individual
to formulate his own belief and worship
God IN accord with his own conscience and
judgment
The assumption of the infallibility OF a
Protestant Parliament is as monstrous as
that of the infallibility of the Pope of
Rome. 1t is positive and painful reminder
that English civilization is fettered and
manacled with creeds and dogmas, such
as the divine right of one man 10 rule an
other man. and the power of Parliament 70
prescribe a religion. 1t dscloses reve--
ence for and Is compliance with old
forms and ceremonies that smell OF the
smoke of the fires that consumed mar
tyrs. 1t has been so long since there has
been an occasion for the administration OF
had passed out OF the minds OF mankind
1t must be. indeed, revelation to our
Anglomaniacs - those who have asserted
that the Englishman had more rights than
an Americar-that the government of Great
Britain was superior 10 ours. Ii will
awaken an earnest consideration in the
minds OF all lovers OF human liberty, not
only In this. but in every republic. 1t will
cause Americans who have favored an
English alliance TO abandon the thought OF
connection with country whose ruler is
the sworn enemy of God-given rights. We
can have no partnership with any power
that in form or I'm substance would rob the
common man Of his rights as a man.
The oath taken by the King of Eng
land. IN part. Is as follows; The lord chan
cellor. with due soiernnity, puts this as
one Of the questions TO his Majesty: VIII
you. to the utmost OF your power, main

the place for political or UNCONVENTIONAL
reasons. IL she lack professional training.
IL her tenure of Office be either uncertain or
able. is not the conclusion inevitable. that
the teacher. herself. is lacking in power?
IL the teacher lack in power, the school
which that teacher teaches will be what the
teacher is, and what no teacher should
be. Like teacher. like school, is even more
true than like father. like son. Such a
school will train neither the verities nor
the virtues, in neither the fundamentals OF
knowledge nor the graces of scholarship.
in neither the elements of personal char
acter nor forces that constitute the COM
monwealth. 1t will be school of and for
disorder and inefficiency.
There are two other subjects to which
the space allowed me permits me only to
refer. L mean the waste OF opportunity
in the country schools. in the substitution
of books for nature, and also the waste of
time in the early years of the student.
What lessons in geography and in the re-
lation of all the other sciences to geog-
raphy can be learned from every hilltop

teachers who themselves know these les
sonsl These mountains and these valleys
are infinitely better object lessons than re-
lief-maps and sand piles which the urban
school is obliged to use. Furthermore, the
years in the life of the scholar up to the
age of ten are not the most remunerative.
Unnecessary studies are introduced. I'M
wise methods are used in teaching. and
as result time is wasted. The boy or
girl enters college at eighteen or more
when he or she ought to be entering col
lege at sixteen.
These, then, as 1 understand, are some
of the more fundamental defects in the
American public school system. They are
not, however, so characteristic of the sys-
tenn as are it's excellences. But the editor
Is wise in asking for an article rather on
defects than on excellences, for excellences
take care of themselves, at least for a
time Institutions and monuments, like
moral character. are not in peril of being
destroyed by their virtues.

nized deformities. This is illustrated In
the Harvard laboratory by subjecting lay
ers of wax, of different colors, to show
qualification, to a powerful lateral thrust,
after weighing them above to represent the
pressure which is usually brought to bear
on such deformed beds by the everything
strata. The result is a gradual develop
ment in the wax model Of folds and
fractures initiating the results that one
finds i'm nature in the same dynamic con-
ditions.

Another problem taken up is the intrusion

the harder limestones, it makes final

lenticular, or lens-shaped, form, as Illus
trated in the rounded porphyry eminences
of such district as the Black hills coun-
try of Dakota. In he'Harvard models the
limestone beds are represented by plaster

these layers is forced melted beeswax,
which sometimes breaks out on the surface
In immature NOlCdDlC dCllOiis anu cOihc-

in the normal lenticuIar or "sheet in

Erosion is another phenomenon which it
has been found possible to study by this
series Of dynamic experiments. Here tiny
area of land is laid TO represent actual
structure of hard and soft rocks of the
earths surface. and the whole is watered
with fine spray in order to observe the
effect of a rain and the formation of
streams and river beds upon piece OF coun-
try of a definite structural character. The
difficulty in this experiment was to produce
fine enough spray; a drop Of water OF
natural size" so TO speak, was so big that
it produced havoc in this miniature land
scape. After many trials suitable show
er was finally obtained. however, by de-
fiecting a rapid jet Of water on a bit Of
roughened tin, with provision for protecting
the model against injury from the surplus
drops.
Still; another experiment concerns itself
with geysers, which are made to spout with
rhythmical regularity, and to show the eff
fects OF ''soaping''-a method often en-
ployed in the Yellowstone Park to hasten
the time Of eruption-by the increased ac-
tivity consequent on the boiling water be-

IMITATION GLACIERS.
A well-known ancient plan of this charac-
ter, dating from the glacial period, is in
Newtonville, Mass, a few miles from Cam
bridge. The glacial stream flowing from
beneath the ice is supposed to have carried
out and deposited successive layers of sand,
working its way back and forth in various
! radial directions over the low delta so
formed in the sea or lagoon that washed
the ice front. The deposit is leaf-shaped.
and when the ice of the glacier has melted
away, a serpentine stem or steep ridge
appears-known as the "esker' of the del
ta-which marks the sand-choked channel
of the original stream that meandered In
its caverns beneath the ice. The sand Of
the delta is in layers-as is clearly seen, for
instance. in many railway cuts in the old
sands of Massachusetts-eachs surface layer
or bed terminating in a steep slant to mark
the successive extensions of the front bank
of the delta

which is fed through funnel with alter

ment, to indicate distinctly the layers de-

these sand plains which had not previously
