CoURAGE oF 10 sTALKrR.
An Even Chance Between the Eua.eI
ami the hunted

ami the hunted
1t must be quite primeyel to stalk
the quarry, whether in WOOD orwater
says the London Mail. Our ancestors
must have been very skilled in thi.
art Of stalking, to creep and crouch
and crawl near enough to secure their
game with such weapons as they had
at their command. In secret places,
and particularly as night draws on,
the fascination Of these wilder field
sports is distinctly enhanced. 1t j;
then we feel freer of the trammels Of
civilization; nearer, more akin to ma
ture-though more awed by her
than at any other time.
The dc,ractors of our English field
sports, hunting, shooting, and fishing
alke-hshing j, usually let off more
lightly than the other two. though il
IS a little puzzlmg.to know ON what
grounds--sometimes affect TO despise
these on the ground that there is no
danger Of reprisal; they urge that
true sport should imply danger to the
hunter as well as the hunted. There
seems no ground for this assertion
AT the same time, the excitement Of
the stalk would obviously be more
tremendous were there this eyer-pres-
emit danger, which the transporting
man would wish to see.
Imagine, for instance, going single
handed afoot after the tiger into the
jungle! Some Enclishmen have done
that, and commonly it has been their
last stalk. And then one has read
stories Of how some Of the South
American Indian hulters pittel
themselves against ,he most terrible
beast-the jaguar, was it not?-of
their forests. Only in that case, in
stead Of stalking the game, they let
the game stalk them, standing naked,
still as stone, With short, uplifted
spear, till the jaguar crept so near as
20 snuff the very feet of the hunter.
and then, at the psychological mo-
ment, the statue came to life and
drove the spear home-or missed, and
was DESTROYED.

The biggest beaver dam ever seen
IN Maine is now attracting hundreds
OF people to Caribou, on the Aroo-
stock river Two miles from the Wiz
lage the beavers have built a dam Of
logs and mud ESQ feet long, turning
the river back upon the lowlands for
distance Of three miles and thus
creating a great lake Trees a foot in
diameter have been cut down by the
beavers, the branches trimmed off and
the trunks in some mysterious man
ner brought to the dam and sub
merged The dam Dis better than
many on the river that have been
built by men, and the Caribou people
are rather proud Of it. Over 1000
beavers have worked hard on this job
for several months, and they will be al
lowed to remain in possession all win

mistake was discovered very soon,
and builders and owners agreed on
the construction of practically ocean
going carriers for use on the tenn
pestuous inland seas. Mr.. Walsh re-
ports that 90 per cent. of the vessels
being built in the Lake Superior ship
yards in the spring of 1898 were prac-
tically ocean-going craft; and adds
that insurance men and ship owners
are constantly figuring on the con-
struction of vessels and steamers
than those recently built.
Mr.. Walsh calls to mind the mot
ley procession that has passed over
these lakes. The Indian padding his
fragile canoe along shore; the sloop
and schooner of later years; then the
large wooden briggs; to-day the steel
freighters and the passenger steam
ers, great floating hotels. But to-day.
as in the day of the Indian and tho
canoe, the skipper must be man of
courage and experience, must bear,
on his shoulders heavy responsible
ity.
If all the mysteries of the lakes
could be disclosed, what tale they
might tell! Vessels have left lake
ports and no vestige of them ever re-
turned, ever been discovered. They
have been swallowed up utterly by
the waters that perhaps not long
after the tragedies showed most
innocent, inviting surface. Every se-
we're storm on the lakes is attended
with great disaster to the shipping,
and the weather mans signals mean
not little to those employed i'll
service on these waters. In the last
decade there have been fewer acci-
dents in proportion to the number of
vessels in use, but there are still too
many.
The extensive lake navigation is
practically closed in winter, but con-
siderable late fall traffic is continued
often at great risk; for the sake of
filthy lucre the risk being assumed in
the face of well-recognized danger.
Greed also accounts for the over
loading of the freighters, mere OF
whic!, IS noted in the lake than in the
ocea.' '.drriers; although TIC biz
cards that sweep over the northwest
raise tumult in the lake waters
that the stormy Atlantic cannot
easily outrival. Another danger en-
countered on the lakes is the shall
lowness natural to certain localities,
and many good lake vessel has nop
only had hole stove in her because
of unknown rocks, but also many a
one has come to grief on account Of
the shoals.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-12-23

is surprised at the comparatively
small loss of life. When one thinks
of the fierce storms, the treacherous'
waters, the army of ships constantly
passing and repassing, steaming
along in the black night as well as
the broad daylight, the reported
loss of life seems small. l have be-
fore me list of notable wrecks on
the great lakes between the years
1888 and 1898, which tells of the de-
struction of "a vessels and the loss
of 1912 lives. Fire was responsible
for the destruction of almost half of
these vessels and more than half the
lives, ten vessels being burned and
over 900 people killed in the confia-
grations. In this list only one boil
er explosion is given, three collisio
are reported, one wreck noted, six
vessels are entered as having floun-
dered, one as going ashore, and one
as breaking in two out on the lake.
We quote in full from the report:
Steamboat Washington takes fire on
Lake Erie, near Silver Creek; 40 to so lives
lost, June 16, 1888.
Steamboat Erie, burned on Lake Erie
about 3S miles from Buffalo; about ITO hives
lost, August 8, 1S41
Steamer Phoenix burned on Lake Mich
igan, 10 miles off Sheboygan; about 240
lives lost, mostly emigrants from Holland,
November 81, 1S47.
Steamer Anthony Wayne, from Sandusky
to Buffalo, on Lake Erie explodes her boil
er and sinks; IS killed or missing April q,
1850.
Steamer Griffith, from Erie to Cleveland
burned; only 90 or 40 out of $50 lives saved
June II, 1850.
Steamer Atlantic collides with propeller
Ogdensburg on Lake Erie and sinks in half
All hour; $50 lives lost. August 90, 1852
Steamer e. K. Collins, from Sault Ste
Marie to Cleveland, takes fire on the lake
| and is burned; % lives lost October s, 1854
| Steamer Northern Indiana, burned or
