WITH OLD SOL" AT KINGS LAKE

In the spring. from April to June, most
! of the sportsmen devote their time to fish
| ing.
Then in the fall comes the combined fish
ing and hunting season.
| HUNTERS TRAVEL ON
EARLY-MORNING TRAINS.
Almost any day If one could peep into the
baggage cars on the earIy-morning trains
he would see from a dozen to fifty hunting
dogs being transported to Kings Lake for
the duck, quail and rabbit shooting, which
is very good
Cameras are also much in evidence on
these trains. as some fine scenes may be
had along the borders of Kings Lake.
Among the most picturesque of the cabins
and rural buildings is the old Buckhorn
Hotel. formerly a resort for Nimrods.
Several years ago it was vacated and was
leased for a three-year term by Architect
John l. Wees of st. Louis.
1t was his intention to remodel 1t into a
summer residence, but for some reason this
was not done.
1t is still vacant and has been photo
graphed and sketched by innumerable
artists.
Uncle Sol Vance's cabins stand a few hum
dred feet below the Buckhorn, and a ia
rorite fishing 'hole" Of the old mans is
near by.
Fred W. Sultan Of No. 4521 Forest Park
boulevard, formerly president of the Kings
Lake Club. is one of Uncle Sol's best friends.
He has fished with him often.
Mr.. Sultan is fond Of hearing the old
darby recite his toast. which is extensively
quoted among the members of the clubs.

She was then employed in Mrs. Chilton's
restaurant. directly opposite the Illinois
Central Depot CT this town.
Kuntz frequently came there. Other
Mattresses were also in Mrs. Clinton's en-

On the morning Of September Is the couple
quarreled. kuntz left his sweetheart angri-

in her room.
At noon that day she performed her usual
duties in the restaurant, waiting on Gus
toners, but in an unusually slow manner.
Before her usual tasks were finished, she
complained to Mrs. Chiffon of being very
sleepy. The latter allowed her to go to her
room until time for the evening meal.
When she should have appeared, she was
still slumbering, and Mrs. Chiffon went to
wake her.
CASE IS SIMILAR
TO THAT OF MOLLIE FANCHER.
Mrs. Chiffon used every means she could
think of to no effect. Then a doctor was
called. Doctor Munselle. He was unable to
overcome her drowsiness.
The physicians of Centralia tried their
remedies, but were finally compelled to ad-
nit that she was beyond their experience.
The usual diagnosis was "a form OF hys-

might cause the d-isarrangement of the

Her absence was noted an hour later and
her parents became anxious about her.

Washington. Nov. 3.-The scientists Of
the Smithsonian Institution nave made a
study Of what IL believed to have been the
largest flying creature-the "Pterodactyl
Ornithostroma.'
It was an enormous flying lizard. whose
wings had q spread OF twenty feet from
tip to tip.
His habitat, ages upon ages ago. en-.

that then extended from the Gulf Of Mex

markable creature in q paper included In
the latest report OF the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
incidentally, he compares the Pterodaetyl
with the flying power OF our better-known
modern birds.

ton. compares it with the novel fying m
chine.
By means Of this machine he has been
able to prove man. ability to construct q
mechanism that viii carry about the same

This is inferred not only from the size

reaching its maximum in the humming
birds. in which the wings are vibrated SO
rapidly as to be invisible.
'.Birds which sail have the breast mus
cles much reduced.
T h extreme of reduction is found In the
frigate bird. which, with a spread of wing
six feet four inches, has a muscular area OF
only $50 square inches"
Naturally a comparative study OF the
birds and other flying creatures with which
we are all more or less familiar brings up
interesting points not usually touched upon
in popular courses of nature study.
No one animal, Professor Lucas tells US.

Thu buzzard is like a racing yacht with

Among modern flying animals that sug-
gest comparison with the Pterodactyl the
largest are the albatross, with wings ten
feet and more in stretch, the condor, with
a stretch Of wing of about ten feet, and
the turkey buzzard, whose wings extend
about six feet.
The wings of the condor and buzzard.
however, are not SO narrow in proportion
to their length and are used in soaring.
The P~terodactyl. like the modern alba
tross, which takes q longer sustained fight
than any other bird now in existence. prob
ably never went high In the air.
The position in which its bones have been
shown Indicate that it went far out to sea
in search Of such unlucky fishes as might
be swimming within half a dozen feet of
the surface.
And the albatross is credited with a
greater stretch of wing than any other
creature now living.
