sights in the season when the wild
fowl begin to arrive there during their
southern flight. 1t is possible at times
to see thousands of birds. big and lit

ever one may look over the water.
Wild fowl of every kind, from the
great wild swan to the tiny buttcrban
duck, from herors to the most diminu-
tive of the snipe family, pitch into
those glorious water haunting grounds.
Bears are still found in many states
and furnish much sport to those who
like this kind of excitement. They are

Moose and elk have been reiutro-
duced into New York state. New
Hampshire, by protecting deer. moose
and caribou the whole year round. has
so fostered the increase of the deer that
it is uncommon to march u day through
the woods in some parts without see
ing at least one. Maine is gathering
more income each year from the big
game hunters. New Jersey, under the
influence of especially clear and espe-
cially well enforced game laws, is fast
becoming one great hunting preserve.
AS result of wise game laws the
south, too, is fast becoming Il magnifi-
cent game country. From Tennessee
east and from the Chesapeake south it
furnishes today every variety of wing
shooting from turkeys to snipe. and in
big game it offers deer and black bear.
Next to the moose the largest game
to be found in the east is the caribou.
a few OF these rare animals are found
in Maine. but the best shooting is in
the province of Newfoundland. Per-
haps one of the most satisfactory out
ings 4 sportsman can take is to this in

The Penguin's Bump of LOCAL.,

On shore the penguin is an awkward
creature. Water is its element. When
hunted on the ice foes, the birds gen
orally try to run away in an upright
position, but just as the hunter thinks
he has got one the bird lies down on its
white belly and paddles along over the
snow very quickly, the hard, smooth
quills slipping over the snow crystals
almost without friction. A remarkable
characteristic of the penguin is his
bump Of locality. Both ON shore and
in the water he never loses his way.

like another, but under that roof Of
similar ice foes have seen a penguin
Of the larger species find its mate on a

The business lots were appraised from
$500, the highest, to s25, the lowest.
Residence lots from $50 down to SO.
As a general thing the appraisement is
accepted with a degree of satisfaction
among the inhabitants of the town.
Some few, however. protested and
have asked that their lots be reap

It is thought that the appraisement,
with these few exceptions, has been

Lieutenant Perry says that the only
difficulty to be experienced in reach
ing the pole is in a proper supply of
food. Cold counts for nothing. The
hardships Of intense physical exertion
acts as no deterrent. Floe ice and
hummocks, storms that break up the
packs and darkness for half the year
are not disheartening episodes like a
waning larder The inference from
this is that the establishment of prop.
er depots Of ample supplies and their
constant maintenance will insure the
discovery Of the pole. This ought not
TO prove insuperable unless the stretch
Of foe between the northernmost land
and the pole should prove so great as
to prevent the establishment of perma.
nent caches along an agreed route.
