THE ability of a beaver to remain
under water for a long time is really
not so tough problem as it looks.
When the lake or pond is frozen over
a beaver will come to the under sur
face of the ice and expel his breath,
so that it will form a wide, fiat bub-

Old Names for Guns.

AS the use of artillery became more
common and the advantages of porta-
bility and a greater rapidity of fire
were recognized, guns, except among
the Orientals, became smaller, but of
better workmanship and construction.
Inventors began to try their hands
at all sorts of improvements or at
tempts at improvement, and in the
course of hundred years or so the
number of different pieces of cannon,
large and small, muZzle or breech load
ing, was simply legion. There were
cannon, cannon royal, and demi can
non, three or four classes of culverins,
bombards, mortars, perriers, serpen-
lines, carthouns, curtails, passevo-
lants or zebratanas, basilisks, orgues,
sakers, minions, mojanes, falcons and
falconets, robinets, fowlers, bases,
slings, port-pieces, murderers, brakes,
aspics, double dogs and lagtors, to say
nothing of ribad 7 Tins, flying dragons

Civilization of the Crows.

The Crow Indians, once the terror
of the plains, are now scheduled as
among the most industrious and pros
porous Indians in the country. There
are about two thousand of them on
the Crow reservation in Montana, and
they have been reported at Washing
ton as "self-sustaining." There are
gradations of worthlessness even
among the savages, and the Crows
were more energetic in their wild life
than were many of the other tribes,
and especially those of the Coast.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
they are more energetic in semi-civil-
lied life than the others and are ready
sooner to dispense with government
rations.

A Little Girls story.

Little GIFTS story.
To take her nap, put my doll
In grandpa's garden chair.
The robins fouuc her right away,
And tried to steal her hair.
They pulled so hard she sat right up,
And opened wide her eyes.
Those foolish things supposed twas me,
And hoped off in surprise.
And then it was / found their nest:
They were so droll, you see,
as up they flew. and down they flew,
Glancing sideways at me.
But now they know me very well,
And eat the food bring.
"Cheer up. Cheer up! Cheer up! Chez,
chee!"
Is what they say and sing.

Those curious animals the elephant
seals, also known as sea elephants,
have been recently studied by Profess
sor G. Chun, German scientist, as
we'll as by Robert Hail. well known
naturalist and as a result many new
facts have been gathered in regard to
their life and habits.
These seals are only to be found in
the southern seas, and mainly in the
vicinity of the Kergueles islands.
where they go in Augusc for the pur-
pose of pairing. They remain there
until February or March. During the
winter they are very dull and apathet-
ic, but as spring approaches they be-
come more lively. Mr.. Hall says that
he went several times through herd
of 40 or SO animals while they were
dozing, and only few were disturbed
by him.
These seals live in communities, and
In a single bay may often be seen from
to 10 colonies. Hitherto it has been
supposed that there is never more than
one male in 4 single herd, but there
now seems to be abundant proof that
each herd contains seals of only one
sex. Thus, in one bay there will re
five or six herds of males, and in an
other five or six herds of females
Professor Chun, who has studied the
seals thoroughly in their native haunts,
says that for long time after the
animals return to the Kergueles in
the autumn they do not take any food
but remain torpid in beds which they
form until they have shed their old
hair and put on new coat. During
the winter he saw several seals killed.
and not a particle of food was found
in their stomachs.
Mr.. Hall, on the other hand says
that the seals during this period feed
once a day, going down to the water
to obtain supply of fish. In any case,
1t is certain that these animals can live
without food for long time, since they
have under their skin a layer of fat
which is 15 centimetres in thickness.
How the Beaver Breathes in Winter.
"The beaver is really sort of port
able pulp mill, grinding up most any
kind of wood that comes his way l
once measured a white birch tree, %
inches through, cut down by beav-
er. A single beaver, generally, il not
always, amputates the tree, and when
1t comes down the whole family fall
TO and have a regular frolic with the
bark and branches. A big beaver will
bring down fair sized sapling-say
three inches through-in about two
minutes, and large tree in about an
hour.
Zone of the queerest facts about the
beaver is the rapidity with which his
long, chisel shaped teeth recover from
an injury. l have known beavers to
break their teeth in biting trap.
and when l caught them again 10 days
afterward you couldn't see a sign OF
the break-the teeth had grown out to
their former perfection in that short
period.
GAS compared with the otter or mink
the beaver is a very slow swimmer His
front legs hang by his sides, and he
uses only his webbed hind feet for
purposes of swimming. 1t is easy
to capture one in canoe If you can
find him in shoal water. He is most
determined fighter, but clumsy and

various divisions.

100000 made in the General Deficiency
Act

made to stockholders or for any claim
secured by mortgage The claims to be
pro-rated aggregate about So4o,ooo.
They are to be audited at the Treasury
Department and the warrants drawn in
favor of the individual claimants. These
warrants are to be delivered through

way the necessity for Mr.. Milburn Civ
ing bond will be avoided. Mr. Mil
burn is anxious that every cent OF the
100000 shall go to the creditors OF the
Exposition.
