A Curious Case Of Science Perpetuating
an Interesting Legend.

A Curious Case Of Science Perpetuating
an Interesting Legend
Science, as everyone knows, is very
often the interpreter of legend, al
most as it is the destroyer of myth
and superstition. A notable in
stance Of this happy fate, says the
London Globe, has just been discov-
cred by the Garden in relation to that
humble and familiar wildAower, the
stonecrop (sedum tectorum), flower
which is known in the lake district as
the thunder flower, in Belgium as
dunderbloom, and at Arras as heur
de tonnerre. In the pages of the
pharmaceutical journal our con-
temporary has discovered the follow
ing interesting explanation of this
extraordinary name. Two pharma.
cists, it is related, were once walking
together when they stopped to ad-
mire a fine profusion Of the stone
crop on the roof and outbuildings of
primitive farmhouse. The tenant,
an aged but hale and hearty lady, in
formed the men of science that a
building was protected from thun-
derstorms by the stonecrop, and told
how that very house was saved by its
intervention. '1n my grandfather's
time," she said, "the lightning struck
the roof and burned the thunder
flower all to jelly; but the house was
saved and that is why it is called
thunder flower" In defense of this
pleasing theory, which sounds so
very like legend, the Garden points
out that the stonecrop is very prob
ably natural lightning conductor,
seeing that it is succulent and full of
water. And another authority adds:
"There is no reason in life why the
explanation should not be correct"
The ubiquity of the name certainly
adds weight to the theory, and justi-
fes a decisive scientific opinion on
the matter.

Killed for Their Skins on the weste rn
PraiEiss in the Early Days.
In the forties, says Outing, when
the American Fur company was In
the heydey of its power, there were
sent from ST. Louis alone in single
year 100, 900 robes; and the company
bought only the perfect ones. The
hunter usually kept an ample supply
for his own needs, so that for every
robe bought by the company three
times as many we're taken from the
plains. st, Louis was only one port
Of shipment. Equal quantities Of
robes were being sent from Mack
NAV, Detroit, Montreal and Hudson
bay. A million would not cover the
number of robes sent east each year
in the forties. In 1868 Inman, Sher-
idan and Custer rode continuously
for three days through one herd in
the Arkansas' region; and in 1869
trains on The Kansas Pacific were
held from nine in the morning until
six at night to permit the passage Of
one herd across the tracks. Army
officers relate that in 1862 a herd
that covered an area of7O by 80 miles
moved north from the Arkansas to
the Yellowstone. Catlin and Inman
and army men and employees Of the
fur companies considered a drove Of
100000 butfaloes a common sight
along the line of the Santa Fe trail.
Inman computes that from St. Louis
alone the bones of 100000 buff
faloes were shipped between 1868
and 1881.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT
As to the Establishment of the San Fran
 cisco Mountains Forest Reserve

| IalnS 1OTeSI reserves, m the IeTTl- tory of Arizona, were established
 by proclamation dated August 17,
 1898, under and by virtue of Sec
 ton 24 of the act of congress, ap-
 proved March Sd, 1891, entitled, "An act to repeal timber culture
 laws, and for other purposes" which
 provides That the president
 of the United States may, from
 time to time, set apart and reserve. in any state or territory having public lands bearing forests, in any
 part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with timber or un- dergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public reservations, and the president shall, by public proclamation, declare the establish | ment of such reservations and the limits thereof"
 And, whereas, it is further pro vided by the act of congress, ap- proved June 4, 1897, entitled "An act making appropriations for sun dry civil expenses of the govern ment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, and for other pur- poses" that "The President is here by authorized at any time to modi- fy any executive order that has been or may hereafter be made es- tablishing any forest reserve, and i by such modification may reduce the area or change the boundary lines of such reserve, or may vacate altogether any order creating such reserve;;"
 And, whereas, the public lands in the territory of Arizona, within the limits hereinafter described, are in part covered with timber, and it appears that the public good would be promoted by setting apart and reserving said lands as a public reservation.
 Now, therefore, 1, Theodore Roose- welt, president of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the aforesaid acts of congress, do hereby make known and pro- claim, that, for the purpose of con- solidating into one reserve the lands heretofore embraced in the said San Francisco mountains for est reserves and of Including there in the other adjacent lands within the description herein given, there is hereby reserved and set apart as public forest reservation all the lands embraced within the follow ing described boundaries and lying and being situate in the territory of Arizona, to-wit:
