ALPINE BUTTERFLIEs
Curious and Beautiful Forms in

From the London Standard.
In the new number of the Field Natural

writes pleasantly on butterfly hunting in
the Alps. The first day which the British
collector spends on the high mountains, or
even on their approaches. will. as the
author rightly observes. be hereafter mark

our Hlands are exceedingly rare. or mot

Even the common forms are more album

the smaller kinds moisture apparently ex-

muddy or, even foul the puddle may be,
there they are sucking II up SO greedffy
that they. will almost let themselves be
trodden upon. Certain small species Of the
familiar blues and coppers are the most
addicted to drink. and the males are ae-
cused Of being more. confirmed topers than
the females. But to any one who has a
slight knowledge of entomology. the varie-

Nero, q full-blooded st. Bernard dog
belonging to John oliver, q farmer Of
Gates, attracted the attention Of his
master yesterday morning by his pecu-
liar actions. The animal would rush
to the door. whine and paw the panels
until some n came out, and Their rush

After repeating this performance
some time he was followed to the dog
house. where al investigation revealed
q half-frosen infant. scantily dressed
and almost buried in the straw. The
baby was hastily carried into the house
and medical aid summoned, while Nero
showed his Joy at being understood by
uttering short banks and running
around his master.
Upon further investigation tracks in
the deep snow we're discovered show
ing that the dog. true to his early
training in the Alps. had half carried,
half dragged the baby across fields
from the woods nearly . mile distant,
where the infant either was lost or
had been abandoned. An old blanket

HOW CHEAP BAKING
POWDER is MADE.

The health department Of New York
has seized a quantity Of so-called cheap
baking powder, which it found in that
city. Attention was attracted to it by
the low price at which it was being
sold in the department stores. Samples
were taken and the chemist Of the
health department reported the stuff
to be IAN alum powder" which an
alysis showed to be composed chiefly
Of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan.
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock
and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called cheap" articles Of food.
They are sure to be made from alum,
rock, or other injurious matter. In
baking powders, the high class, cream
of tartar brands are the most economi.
cal, because they go farther in use and
are healthful beyond question.

addition of another big train a day
each way.

ed that any more service would be
The trio Of daily transcontinental
trains, in addition to all the local ones
were regarded as comprising the most
efficient service anywhere in the west.
The enormous increase of tourist
travel, however, which has come sud.
denly in the last few years with the
betterment of the financial condition
in this country, has necessitated a re-
vision of this opinion.
Last year so. 900 people went to Colo
RADIO alone. They were mostly from
the far east. Investigations by east
ern agents of the railroads during the
winter have shown that this will be
doubled this summer. 1t was hard
enough to handle them last year; now
it will be worse than ever without ad-
ditional trains.
E%nlarging the present trains was
considered but that appears impos-
sible. They are now carrying ten
to fifteen coaches each and are having
trouble keeping the schedule. AS a
matter of fact they r not keeping it,
and that Is n immediate reason for
the urging OF the new trains. Nos. 3
and 5, averaging twelve cars or so,
are simply unable to make up time
when late. because of their weight.
The new train will relieve them and
also provide for a heavy rush of traffic
this summer.
1t is planned to get this new service
on during May. IL at all, so as to be
ready for the opening of the summer
tourist rate on June 1. The scheme
is to have the train run in between Nos.
3 and s west and between Nos. 4 and
6. east. No. s leaves Chicago at 10 a.
M. No. 3 at 1880 p. m. The new one
will leave at 4 p. M. reaching Omaha
at 6 a. m. and Denver at 9 p. M. the
next day. The eastbound one will
leave Denver at Z a. m, reaching
Omaha at 10 p. m. the same day and
Chicago at ~ noon the following day.
Both will be fast through trains. not
local.

down on the branch will be carried on

words, the new trains will be Denver.
