RED DEER AND CARIBOU.
Unexplained Antipathy of the Latter
for the Former.

From the New York Sun.
The disappearance OF caribou before the
invading herds of red or Virginia deer Is
one OF the puZzllng facts Of natural history.
The red deer are not half the size of the
caribou, yet it is beyond dispute that even
where the latter exist in largest numbers
they VIII rapidly disappear before the adj
vance OF the former. Years ago caribou
abounded In the woods of northern Maine
and in the province Of Quebec. Then the
graceful little red deer, driven north and
west by the wolves, gradually spread nto
the home OF the caribou. and within sea-
son or two the latter had become as scarce
In their old home as the red deer previously
had been.
On the other hand, the north country of
Canada, in the neighborhood Of Lake St.
John and st. Maurice, which formerly sup
ported vast herds Of deer, has been COM
pletely deserted by them for many years
past, though moose and caribou are plenti-
ful. Equally far north, in the Ottawa and
Gatineau country, red deer and moose are
found in very large numbers, but no carl
bou. Owing largely. 1t is supposed, to the
increase In the number of wolves. the range
OF the red deer Ii rapidly extending to the
south and east and specimens have been
seen and killed in parts OF the country
north OF Quebec, where they had not been
seen before for more than generation.
The Indian and other old hunters are al
ready foretelIlng the disappearance OF the
caribou from this part of the country,
where they are at present very abundant

THE PUBLIC GROUNDS.
Report on Conditions by Col. Bingham,
Officer in Charge.

Owing to the scarcity of COAL Col. Bing-
ham, the officer in charge of public build
ings and grounds, says that the elevator at
the Washington monument is run and the
electric lights are in operation only on two
days in the week, Fridays and Saturdays.
On other days visitors make the ascent to
the top Of the shaft by the stairways and
illumination is provided by kerosene lamps
at the various landings. Col Bingham says
that by reducing the steam pressure on the
boilers and decreasing the speed of the
engine, together with the use Of hot feed
water. the consumption OF coal for operat-
ing purposes has been reduced from LOO
to 800 pounds day, and the engine is
doing all the work required of 1t. During
the month of November 1920 persons visit
ed the top of the monument, OF which num-
Der 1851 used the elevator and 1860 the
stairways, making total OF 2, 19S, 423 per-
sons who have visited the top since the
shaft was opened to the public October .,
1888.
Col. Bingham says that he has been in
correspondence with the chairman OF the
executive committee of the G.. A. r. en-
campment in regard to the repair Of the
damage done to the parks on that occasion.
He suggested that the park laborers per-
form the work necessary to restore the
grounds occupied for G. A. r. purposes to
their former condition and that the cost be
betrayed by the G. A. r. committee. In
reply he was informed that the committee
not only had no funds on hand to meet the
expense in question but was actually be-
hind in cash with which to pay other bills.
Col. Bingham says that his office was
therefore obliged to clean the portions of
the grounds at it's own expense.
Arrangements are being made by Col.
Bingham to raise the height of the stone
wall on the north and east sides Of the
tidal reservoir in Potomac Park from three
to six feet above mean high tide. Bids for
the work being regarded as excessive, 1t is
being done by hired labor.

delicately diaphanous. But then, in the
front, the outer material was different

widening at the skirts hem. This was
handsewed with effects of satin flowers

tucking was done in a width of two

LATEST FAD TO TELL
FORTUNES BY FEET
Call 1t Pedestry at Summer Resorts,
and Give Prizes to Best
Guessers of Identity.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 1O.-In
search OF a new diversion, some of the
visitors here have put their wits to
work, and as a combined result have
evolved what for a lack of better
name have been christened "Pedistry
parties" The game is a close relative
10 the old palmistry parties, inasmuch
DIS the INES on the foot are read in
stead of those on the PALM
The first pedistry party will be held
surreptitiously, and the names of those
taking part are being closely guarded.
Like everything else in which women
play an active part, the secret has been
told, and the rumored party is gener-
ally discussed. In method Of action the
pedistry parties are similar to the Tril-
by parties, in favor some few seasons
ago. The party, composed equally of
men and women, will assure seclusion
by renting private parlor at one Of
the hotels. Across the room will be
placed a screen, dividing equally and
screening the room into halves. The
men will occupy one side and the
women the other. Of course a nee
eSSary adjunct of the proceedings is
palmist who is making a specially of
foot reading.
suppose the women are to be the
nrst to have their lines read. Then
one OF the fair sex appointed for the
purpose assigns numbers by drawing
and the game is ready to proceed. The
foot reader takes a place on the
mems side, and in rotation the women
place their feet through an opening in
the screen. The reading is done aloud
and the men are supposed to take
notes. Of course, the listeners do not
know whose foot is being inspected,
and it is on this ignorance that the
game is hung.
Under numbers each man takes
notes on the characteristics of the wo-
men as Sketched by the reader" and
when it is all over try and properly Sc
lect the owners of the numbers. The
same method is pursued for the men,
except that the reader shifts his po-
sition to the other side of the screen.
After the scores have been cast the
men and women who come nearest in
the total number of correct guesses re-
ceive handsome prizes. Each person
taking part subscribes an amount suf-
hcient, when added together, to cover
all expenses and buy prizes.
Jupiter P1uvius, the old gentleman
who supplies all the rain, has certainly
been having fun at the expense of
this resort. 1t is locally believed that
he and st. Swithin have entered into
compact to make things generally I'M
pleasant. AT any rate, the weather
conditions have kept everyone guessing
for the last two weeks. Behind SEEM
ingly fair skies constantly lurked show
ers, while on days that seemed to
threaten rain not drop fell After
some hundreds of visitors had their
clothing ruined on the bright days ev-
eryone took to carrying umbrellas,
which is not a pleasant thing on the
crowded boardwalk.

Five hundred prim schoolma' ans

when these words were spoken by Prof.
G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark
university, in an open lecture to the
summer school of the University of

foremost educators in America. Nearly
all the summer students are teachers.
They stopped taking notes and waited
for the speaker to explain himself. Lac
continued:
Slang aids the young man or young
woman of fourteen to nineteen years
old, to acquire fiuency. When the
emotional side of a boy or girl is being
developed during adolescence, midway
between the period when speech comes
slowly, and they lack power Of express
sion, and the time when they begin
again to express themselves more free
ly and easily, the use of slang is essen
tial and ought to be allowed free play.
