A Not Very PartIeuIar Thief Carries

out Leaving Any Trace.

Francis Vol, a MOntour county
farmer, would ike to know who stole
his skunks- Vol lately had IS fine
skunks. One night they were all tax
en- away in a bunch, and Vol has been
nOsing around the neighborhOOd ever

night, after a weary days hunt, "that

skunks, con IT'S equally sure it must
"a been 80 ebody what knows skunlzs
pretty wen, or the beasts would "a left

Vol established a skunk farm about
six weeks ago in a remote part Of Mon
tour county and stocked 1t with IS
slSunks and 300 bull frogs, from both
Of which he expected to realize con-
siderable revenue, especially from the
skunks, which are becoming scarcer
hereabouts every year, and conse-
quently more valuable for commercial
purposes.
The industry thrived from the start,
and Vol found that 50 long as the
skunks were well fed they would not
lose their temper unless roughly
handled. Just about the time Vol be-
gan to congratulate himself on his
business sagacity some thief carried
of his entire stock. The skunls were
confined in an incIosure fenced in with
woven wire. One morning last week
when Vol went to the farm to feed his
stock he found that the fence incIosing
the pound had been torn down and
every skunk was missing.

Scotland and Her thistle.

The OriginOf the thistle as the national
badge of Scotland is due, according to
tradition, to a circumstance of much the
same nature as the adoption of the cres-
cent by the Byzantians.
When the Danes invaded Scotland it
was deemed unwarlike to attack an
enemy at night instead of a pitched bat
tie by day. But on one occasion the in
vaders resolved to transgress this rule
Of fair play and to attack the Scots under
the cover of darkness, and in order to
prevent their tramp being heard they
marched barefooted.
They had thus neared the Scottish
camp uuobserved when a Dane happen
ed to step on a thistle and uttered a cry
Of pain, which gave warning to the Scots,
who ran to their arms and defeated the
Danish foe with great slaughter.
From that tine forth the thistle has
figured as the insignia Of Scotland.

WILL PUT "OLB Sol" TO WORK.
An Experiment With the Solar
Motor in Kansas.
The Ingenious Device Utilized in Arizona
and California to Be Tried on Farm
Near Great Bend-The SUMS
Rays For Fuel

On the farm of E. B. Cowgirl, near
Great Bend, Kan, viii be operated next
month a novel device for putting the
Kansas sunshine to work. This will be
a solar motor such as has been used in
experiments IN Arizona and California.
The motor consists Of a large radiator
or reflector, 80 feet in diameter at the
outer edge and Is feet at the inner, lined
with mirrors which focus on q boiler
that occupies the position of a handle to
the widespread umbrella Of the reflector.
The reflector is moved with the sun by
clOckwork, being suspended on a high
derrick. The heat IS so intense near the
boiler that wooden poles are quickly set
afre.
The operation Of the device is simple.
It is brought into focus by hand after
sunrise by the pushing Of lever. Indi-
Gators show when the true focus is OBJ
tanned and in an hour $50 pounds of
steam is generated. The engine is then
started by turning the throttle valve and
the plant may be left to itself. The
clOckwork makes the reflector follow the
sun all day, the oiling is automatic, the
boiler is filed in the same way. Being
attached to a pun such a motor can
irrigate over 100 acres. In the expert
ment the work viii be done at wells that
have never been pumped dry even by the
best gasoline engines. 1t is believed
that with power to harness the sunshine
of western Kansas and with a machine
that will work all day and cost nothing
for fuel great results can be obtained.
The winds have proved too variable for
dependence, but with the underaow as
the basis of the wells in the valley and
the steady work of the motor, equal to a
ten horse engine, water ought to be alb
undant.
The entire scheme of mounting has
been pronounced by competent mechan-
zeal engineers to be extremely clever and
such as to meet the demands both of
security and of easy operation. There
are no delicate parts anywhere, but, on
the other hand, the structure is a sub
stautial framework Of steel, its members
being of sufficient strength to outlast
the deterioration of rust for at least 20 !
years and to possess at all times a large
factor Of safety.
Many people examine photographs of
the motor, and even gaze at the device |
itself, then innOcently inquire for the |
boiler. It looks Insignificant in compar- |
ison with the rather stately proportions |
of the reflector. When the reflector is |
out of focus the boiler is seen to be per !
fectly black, but when it is swung into {
focus it is instantly transformed into a |
cylinder Of glittering silver, go brilliant /
as to be somewhat trying to the eyes.
It is probable that many leading far |
mers and representatives. of the agricul- |
tural college will be present to see the |
first experiment with the motor in Kan |

A PRoDIGAL PRINCE.
Eance of a Scion Of the Royal
House of Hawaii.

Prince David KawananakOa, who is a
nephew Of the late Queen Kapiolani Of
Hawaii, and who, with his brother
Cupid, inherited her fortune, is one Of
the most prOdigal of Hawaiians, says
a San Francisco correspondent of the
New York Tribune. When the Buffalo
expedition ended a quintette of Ha-
waiian musicians, who had been play
ing in the Midway plaisance there,
went to San Francisco to take a vessel
for Honolulu. Prince David was stay
ing at the Occidental hotel in San Fran
cisco, and when he met his country
men dissuaded them from sailing at
once for their homes. and engaged
them for month to play at his pleas
ure. The guests of the Occidental ho-
tel enjoyed exceedingly the music and
songs of the native musicians, who
were ordered by Prince David to play
two or three times a week during the
serving of dinner at the hotel. This
whim of the prince cost him a pretty
penny.
In Honolulu, where Prince David has
a magnificent home at Waikiki, he
often entertains hundred or more of
his friends for a day at a time. When
he was making the campaign for dele
gate to congress ~ years ago he at
one time gave a feast to I 200 Of his con-
stituents. This banquet was served in
the open air, as is the custom in Ha-
waii, and beginning at nine O'Clock in
the evening did not end until day

A DUcK-HUNTINe ENGINE.

toads. frogs and snakes almost every
mile that have been cut IN two by the
engine.
But these are not the only forms Of

hedgehogs and pretty nearly every
other sort OF small animal Once I saw
a rufied grouse sitting on the track,
Just as the birds VIII sOmet times sit In
front Of wagon on the highway. It
waited and did not seem at al afraid.
When at last the engine did get up the
engine was so close that Il struck the
bird, tossed II to one side, dead.
''But the strongest experiences 7 ever
had were in the south" continued the
engineer. according to the New York
Times Il was running an engine on
the Queen & Crescent road. which goes
through Lake Pontchartraiu on a long
trestle- Ducks and other water fowl
were numerous on the lake and the
sight Of a headlight seemed to attract
them, just as the light in a lighthouse
attracts many birds. One night we
struck flock Of ducks which smashed
into the engine and cab as though it
were raining them from the clouds.
They broke the forward windows Of
the cab. and ne gathered up enough
ducks for two good. big game dinners"
