of his dismal call, repeated here and
there through the woods.
On the other hand, there is nothing
more exciting than bear or moose slow
ly approaching through the woods. One
is sometimes kept on the tiptoe of expec-
tation for half an hour or even longer.
The stiffness after sunset is so pro-
found that the slightest movement is
distinctly audible.
Sometimes the moose answers to the
call much more readily than at other
times. A young bull has been brought up
by the sound of tearing the birch bark
of tree to make a horn. He heard the
noise and came up, doubtless taking it
for the noise sometimes made by a
moose in tearing the bark from a tree
with his horns.
The most successful callers of moose
are Indians, and it is an education to
hear their low, half-suppressed call,
which is sometimes needed to bring a
very old bull within range. These low
calls, uttered when the moose is pausing,
uncertain whether to come or go close
to the caller, yet not within shot, re-
quire the greatest skill; false note and
all is lost.
The old bulls are very pugnacious at
this season and fight desperately and
sometimes to the death. Instances are on
record in which rival lovers, lured from
different direction by the call of COW
moose or the hunters counterfeit, have
charged so violently upon each other
that their horns have become interlocked
and they have died without getting free.
Much has been written by sportsmen
and others about the delicacy of a steak
from bull moose. Nothing can be more
deceptive. It's flesh at this season is no
more fit to eat than that of domestic
bull. The meat of the COW moose is
really delicious in the fall of the year,
and no beef is more juicy or tender than
the meat of dry COW moose at this sea-
son..
In view of the slaughtering of these
animals in the past in all parts of Can
ada, it is remarkable that they have not
all gone the way of the North American
bison. Nothing but their concealment in
the far north has saved them from ex-
tinction. Instances are not wanting of
fifty or more Of them being killed at one
time by the same party of Indians, merely
for their skins.
The cunning of the Indians in taking
this splendid game is illustrated by the
story of one of them who found three
moose swimming upon a lake and killed
them all single handed, though he had
no firearms of any description with him
He padded as fast as he could alongside
one of them and threw his blanket over
the animals head. Leaving this one tc
swim about, he gave chase to another
came upon him, threw his coat over his
head and left him to swim about, too
He then gave chase to the third, and
after killing it came back and dispatched
the other two.

HOLLENBERG IS ALIVE
Former Minneapolis Man, Who Was
Reported Drowned at Coney
Island, Returns Home.

Henry w. Hollenberg, formerly Of Min
neapolis, who was supposed to have been
drowned two weeks ago at Coney Island,
arrived at his home at New Rochelle, yes
terday, according to g. New York dispatch.
Hollenberg's story is that he was carried
out to sea in an undertow while bathing,
his cries for help attracting no attention.
He finally managed to get hold of piece
of driftwood and supported himself until
rescued by a Fishing smack.
A man named Gray was drowned at
Coney at the same time Hollenberg dis
appeared. 1t was supposed by the police
at the time that both men had left Coney
Island after leaving suits in the bathing
houses to create the impression that they
had been drowned.
The experiences reported through the
press recently, which have come to Henry
w. Hollenberg, have been intensely in
teresting to his many Minneapolis friends,
all of whom are rejoiced at his return to
his home after such a trying ordeal.
Mr.. Hollenberg came to Minneapolis
early in 1901, and lived for some months
with his mother at the San Angelo. For
the remainder of the season and the earl
Ter part Of the past season he associated
with a number Of old friends in a dancing
club, conducted by Mrs. Noble at the Uni
versity hall, and it was at these functions
he met Mrs. Clara F. Duncan, formerly
Miss Foster, who afterward became his
wife. Mr.. Hollenberg came to Minneapo-
lis from Little Rock, where he had been
engaged in business. and was associated
here with the Ntmball Piano company.
Last May he went to st. Paul, in connec-
ton with the same firm, and lived there
until he went east. His wedding took
place in Chicago in June.
Both Mr.. Hollenberg and his wife come
from wealthy families, he, having been a
member of one of the foremost families
of the south. He and his wife were un-
usually devoted to each other, and Mrs
Hollenberg's insistence after her hus-
bands disappearance, that he was not
willingly detained from her, has been
borne out by the sequel. It has ben sug-
gested, that both Mr.. Gray, who was
drowned, and Mr.. Eollenberg, were the
victims Of foul play, and that both had
been "doped' in some sway while at Coney
Island. Mr.. Hollenberg's condition upon
his arrival home would seem to give color
to this explanation.

vertical vibration between one-fifth and
one-sixth Of that amount. In this case
the longitudinal vibration was small,
amounting to not more than about one
twentieth of the transverse. The periods
of these vibrations ran from about four
tenths to siX-tenths Of second for the
transverse, and eight one-hundredths of a
second for the longitudinal. Another one
hundred-foCt span gave a maximum de-
hection Of nearly half an inch, the vertical
vibrations ranging from about oneeighth
to twelfth of the vertical defections.
In this case the transverse vibrations ran
generally from one-third to about four
tenths of the vertical detection. The
longitudinal vibrations were very small in
two instances and about third Of the
transverse vibra tions in the other two in
stances. 1t is a little curious that the
plate girders appear to have given much
greater deflections and vibrations in rela-
tion to their lengths than the trusses. One
seventy-foot plate girder, for instance,
gave vertical defecthons and vibrations as
well as transverse vibrations not very diff
ferent from the one hundred-foot trusses.
The longitudinal vibrations of the sew
enty foot plate girder ran a little higher,
in some instances at least, than did those
of the nehundred-foot truss; Indeed, the
same general observations may be made
with almost the same force in reference
to f1fty-foot plate girder span. The two
hundred-foot truss appeared" relatively to
be the stiffest structure of the twelve sub
jected- to investigation. The, relatively
greater f1exibility OF the plate girder spans
may be due to their comparatively small
depths; this would be an adequate ex-
PLANTATION.
Taking the summary OF all the results
it appears that the vertical vibrations ran
from about one-quarter to one-tcnth- Of
the vertical reflections in magnitude, and
that the transverse vibrations ranged in
magnitude from about the same or little
greater to- perhaps four times the concur
rent vertical vibration. The longitudinal
vibrations seldom exceeded the vertical in
amount, and then only to a slight extent,
but were usually considerably less, oc-
casionally not being more than one-fifth
or one-sixth Of the vertical.
Nothing io stated in the account Of these
Investigations as to the condition Of track
On the structures, but judging from some
illustrations given 1t was probably rather
Indifferent. Be that as it may, however,
the greatest vertical vibrations indicate,
as similar Investigations in this country
have indicated, that the additional stresses
produced in the trusses by shock and rap
idly moving loads are rather small in COM
parison with those produced by the ac-
tual train loads considered~as static, prob
ably seldom or never exceeding fourth
CT the latter with the track in first class
condition. On the whole the results of
the investigation are highly interesting
considered as seismographic in character
and OF considerable value from an engi-
neering point of view.

DYED FLOWERS,
How Science Has, Succeeded in Vary
ing Their Hues.


French scientists have recently taken
up the artificial coloring of flowers and a
series of lectures has been given by a
French chemist at the Sarbonne on this
particular subject. According to this
professor the problem of artifcially color
ing flowers has for several centuries in-
terested chemists. .r. ''--
In 1909 scientist named Ma gnat caused
sensation by producing tu'beroses of a
most exquisite pink, ordinary tuberoses
being colored by plunging them into the
juice Of phylotagne.t Some twenty five
years later, Comparetti, a scholar of
Padua, made himself famous and added
distinctions to the last days of his town
by furnishing for the decoration Of the
churches and cemeteries wonderful
wreaths of black convolvulus. Having
made fortune he at last agreed to tell
his secret. and declared that he had col
ored the flowers by putting their stems in
common ink. The scheme did not work
when tried by the towns folk.
cinths and lilies colored by chemical
means and since then both practical flor
lists and chemists have made use Of arti-
ticial colorings for flowers. Camellias
grown in earth mixed with rosin are said
to show veins of fine coral red on their
white petals. Earth mixed with iron fill
ings will also color some flowers blue.
Pansies may be colored by dipping their
stems in analine dyes. Some Of these
unnaturally tinted flowers are dangerous

"COIN" HARVEY 0. K.
He Is Said to Be Really Doing Well
With a Cooperative
=. ... Colony. :.
How He "Won Out" a Fortune With
His Forgotten Financial
School.

Budding. Wasi.snoto,s- .. i
Washington, Aug. 26.-Reports from the
southwest are to the effect that W. H.
Harvey, the author of Coins Financial
School," is doing we'll with a cooperative
colony and land improvement scheme
which ne started some time ago as a test
Of the practicability Of one of his hobbies.
His success would not occasion much sur
prise for, however men may agree or
disagree about his theories, no one who
knows him fails to give him credit Tor
indomitable pluck and, endurance In the
face Of tremendous obstacles. Itwas long
time after he had entered upon his ca
reer as q currency tinker that he first OBJ
tanned public notice. He started little
periodical called "Coin" to promulgate
his ideas on the silver question, but
scarcely anyone bought 1t, and the num-
Der who knew OF it's existence was not
much larger. At the Columbian eXposi-
ton he decided to adopt a novel way or
pushing this publications; so he obtained
a concession for several small booths. In
which he Installed a bevy Of pretty girls
to act as saleswomen. or course the
scheme was foredoomed to failure; as no
body was looking out for the paper, no
body sought the booths. and about the
only copies sold went to occasional curl
osity- seekers who had strOlled up to price
the candy, or peanuts, or flowers Which
they supposed the rosy ma1denS must
have for sale.
In ALL Mr.. Harvey sank. by his own es-
timates not less than 100000 in fruitless
efforts to make his Coin go. Then came
the political revival Of the silver question
in the west. He grouped in a book the
ideas he had been setting forth in his
paper, adopting the ingenious device of
pretending to report the discussions at a
school in which certain eminent financiers
and economists were pupils To friends
who protested that he was only throwing
good money after bad in keeping up the
struggle, he used to respond, tapping his
forehead with his finger: mo, I have
something here which is bound to come
out and which the public will welcome"
The exhaustion Of his ready cash was fol-
lowed by a mortgage on the furniture In
his office in Chicago, for he was forced
to bring out his book himself and the ex-
penses were heavy. 1t IS a fact that on
the morning of the day when the first
copy Of ''Coins Financial School, came
from the press he had not enough money
In his pocket to be sure of being able to
buy his dinner.
Then fate took turn. The compusion
manager and f1nancier proved a blessing
in disguise. He sold two million copies
printed from his own plates-a fortune
In net profts-to say nothing Of the roy
alties he commanded from a score Of other
sources during the year or two which fol-
lowed. Every American who recalls the
presidential campaign Of 1896 will admit
that no publication on the same side had
half the circulation one-tenth the in
fluence of Harvey's little pamphlet.

OJIBWAYS IN ST. PAUL
Two Chiefs Confer With Senator
Clam.

Two chiefs representing the Ojibway
Indians Of the Mile Laos reservation ar
rived at ST. Paul yesterday to confer with
Senator Clapp in regard to the transfer Of
their tribe from Mile Lacs to the White
Earth reservation. Although their Co.'S
tunes are modern, these chiefs still call
themselves, respectively, Wah-we-yea-
con1ig and Ain-dus- o-keshig. The two
are sufficiently up-to-date to argue
through an attorney-D. B. Henderson of
Kansas City.
Mr.. Henderson will request Senator
Clapp to see that due economy is observed
in expending the $4,000 appropriated,
through the senator's efforts last year, to
expedite the transfer Of the Ojibways
from Mile Laos to White Earth
The tribe numbers 160 families and 915
individuals. THE yare willing to take
up allotments on the new reservation, -
says Attorney Henderson, but they wish
to be paid for the improvements that they
are going to abandon"

GENTLEMAN OF REPTILES
RattIesnake Always Issues Il Chal-
lenge Before He Fights.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The rattlesnake, probably the most
deadly American snake, is really a gen.
tleman as snakes go. He never. eats his
own friends. as most other snakes do,
and he always plays fair and gives warn
ing before he strikes. In the early pio
neer days west Of the Rockies rattlers
were frequently eaten by hard pressed
travellers and their flesh is said to be as
good as chicken. Great skill must be
exercised in catching this snake If he is
to be eaten, as he has a trick Of biting
himself when cornered and SO commit
ting suicide, and in this case his flesh is
as deadly as the bite.
The maligned pig, who Is known by
those who properly understand him to be
really brave and Intelligent little beast,
regards rattlesnakes as the greatest lux
ury and attacks and kills them with abso-
lutte fearlessness. On a California ranch
certain field was so overrun with rat
tiers that 1t was practically useless. It
was fenced in and pair of young pigs
turned into it. The pigs grew fat and
sleek and in a short time they had COB
bled up every last rattler. Piggiwig has
been known to attack the largest and
most deadly snakes and come off victor
in the fight.
Apropos Of the we'll known fact that a
rattler will bite himself and commit sui
eide rather than fall into the hands of his
enemies, the tale Is told by hundreds in
the far west that little bird, native of
the Rockies, is extremely interested in
the determination of the rattler. So far
as Is known this bird does not feed upon
the snake, but is actuated solely by mo-
tives of benevolence in Kidding the world
of these dangerous reptiles. Seeing a
rattler asleep or summing himself on a
stone, this thoughtful and energetic little
body flies off and returns with bits of very
prickly cactus, which the bird places in
a little circle around him. When the cir
Gle is quite complete the enterprsing
bird, eager to see the results of it's toll,
swoops down and runs his bill into the
= sleeping snake, which st arts to move away
only to encounter the cactus, over which
he cannot crawl. He turns about and
strikes the cactus again. Finding him
self unable to escape he bites himself and
dies by his own deadly weapon.
A rattlesnake never goes out of his way
for a fight, but when he is attacked he
fights desperately. A lad who was trout
fishing in country where rattlers abound
slipped and fell.
N falling he saw to his horror that he
was coming down on the cold body of a
large snake. He heard the rattle, which
Is the snakes war cry.
He had the presence of mind in falling
to grasp the snake close to the head an6
hold on like grim death. Like a flash the
snakes body coiled around his arm anG
frightened in an effort to make him relax
his hold. It moved it's body SO vigorously
that in spite of holding with both hands
he feared 1t would escape. IL Fortunately
his companions came to his assistance ant
cut the snake from his arm before he wa!
quite exhausted with the struggle:

GAMBLING PLACE CLOSED

rants Against the Den. .

The gambling den at Columbia Heights
has been closed again and it is said that
1t has been closed for good this time.
Warrants were served yesterday upon six
of the operators, who will appear in police
court at Anoka tomorrow morning to
plead to the charge of maintaining a pub
lie gaming-house.
When Sheriff Tierney appeared at Co.
lumbia Heights at this morning with
warrants for the gamblers and a search
warrant for the paraphernalia, he found
the place in utter darkness. The
gambling tables were all gone and tho
men had disappeared. He succeeded,
however, in finding two Of the men and
the others agreed to appear in court
Matters were brought to a crisis by E.
H. Alderman. a travelling man for a
manufacturing concern Of one Of Mime
apolis' suburbs. He went to the place and
lost $21O. 1t was reported that he also
lost valuable papers and notes belonging
to his employers, but this he says is un-
true. He did not like his treatment at
the place and called upon an attorney,
and took steps to close the place up by
swearing out warrants against the
operators.

announce the first successful expert
ments of this character which were made
by ]. H. Freeze of the Harvard observa-
tory last summer. The apparatus used
consists of an S-inch or 11-inch telescope
which is arranged with prism to sepa-
rate the bands of color at one end and
camera at the other. In this way the pic
ture will show the arran cement of colors
by alternating bands of light and dark.
The scientific value of the spectra arises
from the fact that the various elements
of the atmosphere, as well as the at
mOsphere of solid bodies under the influ-
ence of intense heat, give off colOrs by
which they can be distinguished.
The element hydrogen, present in al
most all stars, produces series of WELL
marked lines quite different from those
Of the element of iron. Hence the photo
graph of star is not so much of the star
itself as Of the luminous atmosphere sur
rounding a star, from which it is posi-
BILE, however, to deduce the constitution
Of the star itself.
The hydrogen lines of the lightning
spectra obtained show almost like -thosa
of new stars, with the absence, of
course, of the solid body. The lines Of
a big flash on the sky were almost exactly
those of small artificial flash one-fourth
of an inch in length. J.
