FARMERS FIGHT NEW ROAD
They Seek to EnJOin County from
Acting on Old Reso-
luton.

Frederick and Leopold Doll, farmers out
near the old fair grounds, have applied to
the district court for an injunction to re-
strain the county Of Douglas from opening
a road through their property. 1t seems
that the county board adopted a resolution
to open the road in question in January,
1887, but never, undertook the work until
November, 1900, when the grading machines
appeared on the DOH farm. Now the Dolls
presume that the county proposes to finish
the work and open the road and they seek
an injunction, taking the position that the
failure of the board to act on it's resolution
of 1887 until thirteen years had elapsed
was q virtual vacation of the road.

The Leg That Listens.

The common lobster furnishes one Of
the best possible illustrations Of a
curious principle that finds expression
in the organization Of animals whose
body, like its own, 10 composed of a
succession of segments with jointed ap-
pendages.
The principle in question is that the
paired appendages OF the different seq
ments though all constructed upon the
same plan, may become so modified in
form as to be adapted to the discharge
of the most diverse functions.
One Of the strangest and most unex-
pected Of the uses to which we could
imagine a leg as being put is that of an
organ Of hearing.
Yet such seems to be one at least of
the functions of the forelegs in the
cricket and some other allied insects.
On the outer side of the tibia a small
oval space may be seen in which the
strong armature which covers the rest
of the body is reduced to a thin and
membraneOus condition, making thus
sort Of window or drumhead.
Communicating with this, inside the
leg, are the ends of a nerve, and 1t
can hardly be doubted therefore that
the whole apparatus constitutes an
auditory organ, so that if these legs
were amputated the insect would be-
come deaf.
When one remembers that crickets
incessant chirrup being a most shrill
are among the noisiest Of insects, their
and penetrating sound, it cannot be
considered strange that distinct or
gans Of hearing should also be pres
ent; the sound producer implies the
sound receiver; the two functions are
complementary; but still 1t is remark
able that the foreleg should have been
selected as the most suitable site for
this important sense.

them of their feet, one OF the Hoyts
suggested that if they had a wagon
with sails they might make the trip

She answers her helm perfectly and
sails about as "close' to the wind as
the ordinary water craft of her size.
A fast ride on Desert Queen" amid
surroundings more desolate than the
lonely sea itself, is a thrilling and ex-
citing experience. You go lodging be-
tween the dots Of greasewood and cacti
as you leave the camp for the solitude
when the wind rises.
These are familiar scenes, and at
first you notice them. Then the wind
grows stronger and the pace madder.
You tie string to your hat and anchor
1t to your suspender; your handker-
chief is whipped away from your neck
and goes sailing and writhing up and
away-away out of sight almost before
you realize that it is gone. The wind
here is different from any that ever
blew in any other part Of the world.
The Queen is fairly flying now, and
but little sail is up. The air is filed
with sand and pebbles as large as

speed, and you hang on frantically

catch your breath. The man at the
helm and the man hauling in canvas
are too busy to see you gasp and
shiyer, but at last the sails are all
lowered, and the wonderful voyage
Is ended. But then 1t has not begun

The Trapping of Muskrats.

In many sections of the United
States, especially in Missouri and the
Chesapeake region, the taking Of
muskrats is very extensive and fur
nishes employment to many hunters,
some of whom depend almost entirely
upon this vocation as means of sup
port during the winter. Frequently
cabins or shanties are erected on OF
near the bottom lands or marshes, and,
during the trapping season. lasting
from January l to March 81. the hunt
ters spend nearly all of their time
there. Some of the most successful

A Huge Top.

One Of the greatest novelties to at
tract the wonder-lovlng visitors to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition will
be huge top 400 feet high. 1t Will
resemble in appearance the old-fash-
ioned peg top" familiar to every
boy. The entire top will be built
Of steel. In the centre there will be
stationary shaft up and down which
the elevators will run. Each floor will
reyolve around the shaft, alternately in
opposite directions. All the sides will
be open to the air, so that a view Of
the entire exposition grounds will be
possible. The total floor space, accord
ing to the figures, will be 100000
square feet, Of which 100000 will go
to sub-concessions. II is expected that
this novelty will prove a greater at
traction than the Ferris wheel at Chi

A Chapter of Lies Little Oddities

amorG the dying cotton, the birds fill
ing the air with chirps of battle. wheu
a fly arose there was a glitter Of white
feathers, followed by a chirp Of tri.
umph as the bird seized and ground
the mother of a million of boil worms
between its sharp mandibles.
Mr.. Boswell and his wife walked
about through the cotton patch, each
carrying n large pan containing a
liquid of rich fragrance, which is one
of the secrets of their business. The
public has not been made acquainted
with the ingredients of this sweet.
smelling mixture. The birds are fond
Of it, and they few to the pans every
few minutes.
After the birds had worked for lit.
tie more than an hour Mrs. Boswell
returned to camp and turned the re-
mainder Of the flock loose upon the
plantation. 1t took nearly three hours
for the flock of birds TO accomplish
their work, and they seemed to know
when their task was finished. After
hopping about on the fence for few
moments they began to fly back to the
camp, where they held high carnival
in the trees. Many of them went into
great cage, where they composed
themselves, as if seeking rest. Others,
apparently the younger birds, sought
either to ease or win favOrs from their
mistress. A flock followed her from
place to place, as she moved about
the camp, often perching upon her
head and shoulders.

Trained Birds Save Cotton.

Gated Western rancher, assisted by his
wife, to make a discovery worth mil
lions to the people of the Southern
States, where scientists have failed
after years Of study and many costly
experiments. This Texas farmer has
come to the rescue of the cotton planter
with an effectual remedy against boil
worms. Boil means "sharpshooters'
and all other insects that prey upon
and destroy growing cotton.
G. b. Boswell has just demonstrated
to the distressed ranchers in the vi
Cinity Of Fairland, Texas, that he has
found a way TO protect their cotton
from the pests that have been destroy
ing the crops for several years. He
does not call his method discovery,
since, he says, he has only used and
trained and directed Natures own
forces against one of the most insatiate
and destructive enemies that the South
ern farmer has ever encountered.
Boswell and his young wife own a
small ranch near Preside, on the Rio
Grande. Mr.. Boswell and his wife are
accompanied by nearly 20OO small
birds OF two varieties. About 1900 are
white-wlnged spaTows, natives Of
Western Texas and New Mexico. The
remainder Of the flock is composed of
Mexican canaries. About 500 or 1000
Of the birds were turned loose upon

STRANGE STORIES cARNERED FROM
DIVERSE SOURCES.
A Boat on wheels.


HH HE queerest ship that ever
sailed is a yacht on wheels, a
graceful land-going clipper,
that glides over the pathless
stretches of sun-blistered plain, and
carries her plucky navigators to and
from their gold mine in the desert.
Solitary gold hunters who have seen
her white sails silnouetted against the
bleak brown background in their aim
less wanderings, have brought to the
outer world strange and ludicrous tales
of q phantom ship that sped by them
like bird on the wing. The spectacle
at a tTim-built craft such as ordinarily
belongs to the sea, skimming over that
barren expanse where not drop OF
water ever falls might well alarm less
superstitious persons.
This vehicle was built by Charles
S. and Carl II. Hoyt, brothers, of
Cleveland, Ohio eight months ago, and
has been constantly in use since, run
ming thousands of miles. Her owners
have a gold mine in the buttes near
the station Of Rosamond, on the west
ern border of the desert, and owing to
the lack of a suitable site they estab-
lished their camp nine miles away. Be-
tween this place and the mine is re-
markable dry lake, Its surface is as
hard as concrete, and swept as smooth
as a tennis court by the sands forever
driven over it by the fierce winds rush
ing down through the Tehachepi Pass.
While trudging wearily over this level
tract, before q gale that almost blew
