A popularity of that most beautiful
of South African antelopes the spring
box is that it always leaps over hui
man tracks. 1t IS at once exceedingly
shy and marvelously active, and the
reason for this strange antic is it's in
tense suspicion Of any possible enc
mics, among whom it has come to rec
ognize man as the most dangerous.
1t is not only with human tracks
that the springbok goes through this
performance, for 1t does the same with
the tracks of lions or even when it
gets wind Of lion. The leap is ex-
ceedingly graceful, and the animal COW
ers from twelve to fifteen feet at each
bound. 1t drops on all four feet at
once and Immediately rises again, maxi
ing clear spring without any run.
Its usual gait when not pursued is a
light springy trot. The springbok usual
ly travels with its nose to the ground,
as If constantly on the lookout for the
scent of enemies.

DanyiIIe's Agricultural neeting.

Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
The recent session of the state board of
agriculture at Danvie was opened by an
address of welcome by Harvey Burbank,
Esq. This was replete with matter OF
historical interest, reviewing the cream
cry movement and the growth Of the silo
and enslage business in town. Members
of the state board spoke in very compli-
mentary terms of the address of welcome
Hon. c. J. Bell of Walden then spoke on
the subject of tuberculosis.
The afternoon session was opened by
Ernest Hitchcock of Pittsford, who spoke
on corn ensilage and the building of silos.
Mr.. Hitchcock advocated fat land cult
walton, dwelling particularly on the nc
cessity Of frequent use Of the smoothing
harrow during the period from the plant
ing OF the corn until it show ed through
the ground, that the corn might get i'll
advance of the weeds. He is a firm
believer in the smaller kinds of corn,
because they were able to reach greater
maturity. He advocated round silos
The farmers of this section could hardly
tail to notice that in his remarks as to
the cultivation of corn he made no men.

it, Mr.. Covtny's reply came back so
quick, II thought not by the way you

member of the state board.
This brought on an informal discussion
of witch grass and how to subdue it,
which Mr.. Hitchcock said was best done
by shallow fall ploughing, followed by
continued early spring harro owing, sew
eral times repeated hefoe the crop was
put in.
State Road Commissioner 7. O. San

The evening session opened with an
address by John E. Gale OF Gulford who
spoke on business methods in farming,
laying emphasis on bookkeeping and
care of tools, care of stock aud care OF
buildings. He was followed by Prof. L.

We Grow Old In Pieces.

The general impression is that the
body grows old uniformly. From birth
till the age OF twenty-five it grows in
size and weight, from twenty-five to
fifty it remains stationary, and from
that period it decays. Observations Of
expert Psychologists show us that this
impression is not a correct one.
Each organ begins to age independ-
emily, each has its period for the
change, and these periods differ with
the various organs and do not take
place coincidently, as we may have
supposed. The body attains it's great
est size during the third decade and
remains in about the same condition
during the fourth and fifth decades,
that is true, but the brain reaches its
greatest size in the second decade, the
kidneys reach their maximum size dur
ing the third decade, the muscles, skel-
eton and intestines during the fifth, the
heart and lungs in the eighth decade.
Increase or decrease in the size or
weight of the body consequently is
not due to simultaneous increase or de-
crease In all its parts.

William M. Rumbaugh as graduate of
Norwich University and commandant of
that institution from 1880 to Sc, died in
New York January Is and the funeral
was held at Mortified January 10. The
cadets attended the funeral in a body.
Mr. Rumbaugh went to New York in

in the university, being a trustee at the

James E. Higgins has just completed
the school census Of the city of Barre and
finds that there has been a net increase
during the past II months of 1O7, the
present total being 2202 against 2O95

to the school census is that several OF
those listed as school children, that is
under IS, are married and in two or
three instances have children of their
own. The following are the figures for
each year since Barre became a city:
1902, 22O2; 1901, 2O95; 1900, 2O80;

One i'll service nature has done the
shark-namely, that of placing a TRAN
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware of this popularity, for had he
been so he would unquestionably aban-
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface Of the water and would in that
case be enabled to approach his victim
unobserved. The shark is a slow swim
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dol
phin from the shark" But Byron was
poet and does not appear to have
been a close observer of the habits of
inhabitants Of the water, or he would
have known that a shark would have
no more chance of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would of overhauling q
hare. A shark will keep up with a sail
ing ship, but it is as much as it can do
to follow in the wake of a fast steam
err and torpedo boat would be able to
give it points.

Among the Pueblo Indians six points
Of the compass are recognized, and
each has its color. North is yellow,
west is blue, south is red, east is
white, the upper regions are many col

All the prey gods are represented by
their images in these six divisions.
For example, there is the yellow
mountain lion Of the north, the blue
mountain lion Of the west, the red
mountain of the south, and so on.

A small stingless bee is found in the
state of Sinaloa and in Topic. The hon.
ey of these bees is not great in quanti-
ty, is dark colored, very liquid and is
said not to crystalline. Another pc
culiarity Of the honey is that it has a
decidedly sour or tart taste, and on
this account it is much sought after as
being a greater delicacy than the sweet
honey of the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that,
as they are stingless, they are constant
ly robbed by the larger varieties, the
tame bee being one of the robbers.

Industrious Old Clock.

At quaint old Castletown, the "me-
tropolis" of the Isle Of Man, there ex-
lists very interesting clock, which has
now performed Its functions of time
telling in five centuries. It was pre-
scented by Queen Elizabeth in the year
1897 to Castle Rushen, the fortress
which stands in the middle of Castle
town, from which the town takes its
name. The works are crude, being
driven by ropes and pulleys, but never
theless they keep fair time. The clock,
In fact, has run ever since 1t was built,
except for rare stoppages for repairs
To this day the single hand which
travels slowly round the dial outside
the tower Of Castle Rushen is the
principal source Of information as to
the hour to the inhabitants of Castle
town. A timepiece which has worked
continuously for more than 800 years
is something of real curiosity.-Jew-
elers' Circular.

The Water In Utah,s Great Lake.

Salt lake is by no means saturated
solution Of salt, yet it is five or six
times as rich in salts as the ocean and
nearly as strong as the Dead sea. In
summer it contains between 20 and %
per cent of salt, the saturation point
not being reached until the salt forms
a little over third of the liquid.
There are all through the great basin
numerous saline lakes and ponds, but
none Of the size and Importance of
this in Utah. Not infrequently they
are shallow and entirely disappear
during the dryness and heat of sum-
mer, leaving to mark their sites only
a stretch Of some acres-or it may be
miles-of clay or mud, entirely cover
ed with salt.

4 Singing Well.

A singing well is one Of the natural
curiosities of Texas. In fine weather a
sound like that of an @olian harp is
given out by the well. At times the
sound is clear; then it recedes, as if
far away, and then it reaches the ear
very family. These changes take place
every few minutes and with great reg
ularity. With an east wind blowing
the water in the well gets very low
and the mysterious musical sound Is
faint. A strong west wind causes the
water to rise and the sound to increase
in volume and clearness.

many bullets it required to kill man

shake his convictions, but it was no
use-he stuck to it. He showed no nerv-

it as a matter of course. l took the box

were badly hurt. The only reply was
a smile as he looked up into my face

livered as he requested"
