GROWING BUFFALO HERDS.
canadian Bison Promise to Become
Quite Numerous in the Next
Few Years.

The buffaloes are increasing in such
proportions in Canada that thew
promise in the course of few years
to become again fairly abundant.
Some time ago they threatened to
become extinct, says Quebec report.
The herd of woods buffaloes in
the Peace river district has trebled
in size under the protection afforded
it by the Northwest mounted police.
Five years ago it was estimated that
there were not more than 80 buffaloes
in the herd; how there are 400.
In appearance there is little differ
ence between the woods buffalo and
the plains buffalo. The former is
merely larger, richer-coated animal.
1t differs materially, however, in it's
habits from the subspecies which in
habited the plains, and which has I'M
doubtedly passed away, except for
the presence of a few animals in cap
tivity and in the Yellowstone Nation
al park.
This species preferred the plain and
travelled hundreds of miles in it's an
nual migrations, while the Canadian
buffalo shuns the prairie and migrates
but little.

THUMB-MARK AS A SEAL.
Has Been Used In China ana Else.
where In Attestation Of Legal
DOcuA nta

An army officer in Arizona used to
make his orders for payment on a
camp sutler, and use his own thumb
mark to serve the same purpose as the
elaborate markings on bank checks.
The thumb-mark has been used in
China and elsewhere in attestation of
deeds. Sir William Herschel intro
duced finger marks for practical pur-
poses in several ways in India He had
heard that Chinese criminals in early
times were made to give the impress
sions of their fingers just as the Grim
inals of this country are now photo
graphed- In Egypt the criminals were
made to seal their contest ons with
their thum bnails, as the country serv-
ant girls used to seal their letters. Ac-
cordingly Sir William adopted the reg
lstratlon of finger markings for pen
sioners. He suspected that others
personated these officials after the
pensioners were dead; he therefore
employed this means of dentificat ton.
This led to the scientific identified ton
of crimina ls-each prisoner signed a.
book with his finger. Comparing the
signatures Of persons made after an
interval of 20 years he proved that
time makes no such material differ
ence as to affect the utility of the plan.
There is marked difference between
the marks of males and females.

WAVES IN THE AIR.
Are Like Water Waves That Stir the
Whole Mass from the Surface
to the Bottom

Helmholtz showed that when cur
rent OF air warmer, and therefore
lighter, was flowing a bove another cur
rent colder and denser the cjrcum-
stances were the same as when the
wind is blowing on a level surface
OF liquid. In both cases regular waves
are produced in the delser medium,
and the waves have their crests perpen-
dlcular to the direction of the upper
current, says scientific exchange. A
wind that will produce water waves
one meter long will, in air currents
differing ten degrees C. in temperature.
produce waves from two to five kilome-
ters in length. To water waves from
hve to ten meters long correspond
air waves having length of IS to 20
hlometers. Such waves, whose height
above the surface of the earth is not
OFTEN greater than their length, are
like water waves that stir the whole
mass of water from the surface tn
the bottom. They are very frequent,
out are not visible unless the lower
layers of air are saturated with moist
use so that mists are formed. In such
case parallel bands of clouds are
produced, extending over large Dor
ton of the sky. In balloon ascension
herr Emcen, Of Munich, was able to
recognize such waves and to make such
measures as to show that the nathe
NAUTICAL theory of their formation was
completely verified.

WATCH THE SMALL CHANGE.
Pennies and Nickels Are Counter
fsited More Than Are the
{ 49, Larger Pieces.

@"Did you ever think how little atten-
ton you pay to the possibility of coun-
sterfeits in making change % asked an
old bank teller of friend, relates the
Chicago Tribune. "And did YOU ever
think that most of the attention that
is paid to it by the public is so much
waste of effort?"
: "But it is a fact. You never +bink
when the street car conductor puts
the change from a quarter in your
hand that both dimes may be counter
felt. You take one-dollar, two-dollar.
fve-do1lar and ten-dollar bills from
anybody in change without ever a
thought as to their genuineness. But
if stranger tries to pass $40 bill on
you you begin to get shaky, while $50
or $500 bill is almost impossible to be
rid of in a. street of small shops.
"Yet you could hardly hire counter
feiter to try to make and pass bills
above ten dollars in value. If a stran-
ger should come into your place of
business and ask change for $50 bill
it would scare you stiff for fear of a
counterfeit, whereas the chances
would be 9991a in 1000 that the bill was
good.
'You noticed the other day, on the
other hand, that the United States gov
eminent was much concerned over the
counterfeit one-cent pieces that are
now flooding Chicago. Yet I'll bet you
never looked at the g'enulneness of a
one~cent piece in your life.''
