A COLOMBIAN EXACTION.

A significant story of the conditions

traveller, whose wanderings are as
wide as the hemisphere, says the New

DUCK HUNTERS TANTALIZED.
Spot In Massachusetts where the
Fowl swarm, Yet May Not lie
MoIested by Gunners.

Spot Pond, in the MiddleseX Felis
district, which lies between the towns
of Melrose, Maiden, Stoneham, Med
ford and Winchester, has become the
Mecca of thousands of wild ducks,
most of them of the black variety.
For the past five or six years, since
the Metropolitan park commission has
taken possession of the pond, no gun
ming has been allowed, says the Bos-
ton journal. This the ducks quickly
learned, and every year since they
have been greatly augmented in num-
bers, until this year there is the largest
number of ducks ever seen on the pond
at one time.
They sit out in the middle of the pond
in several punches extending from
the Stoneham to the Medford shores.
There are two islands in the vicinity
on which they roost each evening.
1t is estimated there are over 5000
ducks at the present time in the pond,
and they are increasing daily, as the
migration to the south takes place.
There were a large number of we'll
known gunners on the shores of the
pond the other day with hungry eyes,
watching the ducks for hours. The
ducks seem to know they are safe
from all danger and come quite near
the shore and play with each other,
and seem to have no fear.

MOST VALUABLE GROUND.


The highest priced land in the
world is that bounded by Wall and
Broad streets and Broadway, in low
er New York city, says Success. A
square foot of ground on a corner
of Broadway and Wall street cannot
be had for less than $3.50. The most
expensive land in London sells for
$500 a square foot. The average price
of land in New York city's financial
district is about $175. Next in the
scale comes the woman's shopping
district from Fourteenth to Twenty
third streets, on Sixth avenue, and
from Thirty-fourth street to Forty
second street, on Broadway. Here
land ranges all the way from $50 to
$3.50 a square foot. On the north
west corner of Broadway and Thirty
fourth street the latter price was
obtained. The real estate man VIII
can tell the future movements of
population on Manhattan is in po-
sition to realize a fortune. The
growth of Brooklyn and Jersey City
has checked the movement of the
population north, and it is said the
most valuable land on Manhattan
Island will always remain south of
Central park. The lower half of the
island will soon have nothing on il
except Office buildings, factories and
tenement houses.

SOME BIRD MIGRATIONS.
Instances of Prairie Chickens ana
wild Turkeys Leaving Home
for strange Lands.

Game birds sometimes make extern
sive migrations, even though of spe-
cies not commonly migratory, states
the New York Sun.
Prairie chickens, some years ago.
flew northward from Illinois and the
adjacent country, and thousands
alighted in the limits of cities and
towns in their path notably in Detroit,
Mich. Other thousands were drowned
in Lake Superior while trying to fly
across that lake. Others got over
safely and took up their homes in the
Canadian burned ~~ ons beyond the
great lakes.
What induced these birds to mi
CRATE from a region where the race
had been native beyond all memory
of man has never been explained.
Wild turnkeys migrated in a similar
manner from Michigan in the days
when that game bird was abundant
there. They had been hunted per-
sistently for years, when suddenly
they all disappeared.
They travelled due west, and it is
on record that 1.-The flock was a quar-
ter of mile wide, and was several
hours in passing" Soon after that
strange exodus wild turkeys appeared
in great numbers in the far west in re-
gions where they had never been be-
fore, and where their progeny is still
abundant,

ALUMINUM-GOLD LATEST.
The Two skiIIfuIly Combined Pro-
duce u Beautifully Ruby-Coi-
Ored Metal.

New remarkable properties of
Aluminium are still being discovered.
Its lightness, ductility and strength
are well understood, but even these
qualities are being constantly devel-
opened and enlarged. Mixed with a
small quantity of gold beautiful
suby-tinted metal is produced that
can be used for decorative art. 1t is
said that comparatively thin sheet
of the metal with turn a bullet.
Wire has been drawn from it as
one as and not much heavier than a
hne silk fiber. In violins it produces
tone as fine as the most perfect
Stradivarius. The racing shells made
OF it are constructed of sheets of
enly one-nineteenth of an inch in
thickness that are as strong as an
inch board and less liable to break.
II does not tarnish and acids have
NO effect upon it, says Ores and
Metals. Race horses are shod with
IT. Wounds are sewn up with the
wire.

ATMOSPHERIC CONUNDRUM.
a Question Often Asked by Observant
Persons EIucidnted by
Weather Expert.

Which is heavier, dry air or moist
All This is a question which occa-
sionally agitates the minds of per-
sons who get to thinking about the
weather, and when such folks have
considered it for time and discussed
it with their neighbors, they write
to the newspapers for information,
states the New York Tribune.
Before consulting any authority,
Q man is apt to reason in this fash
ion: The air absorbs the vapor very
much as water dissolves sugar, and
consequently there must be gain in
weight for the same volume. If he
should write to Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the United States weather
bureau in Washington, though, he
would find that his own independent
@gic was fallacious. Prof. Moore
says: "A cubic foot of dry air
weighs more than a cubic foot Of
moist air at the same temperature
and pressure. The addition of vapor
10 a cubic foot of dry air enlarges
the volume of the mixture if the air
i free to expand, as in the atmos-
Phere; and as the vapor has only
ebout two-thirds the density Of dry
air at the same temperature and
pressure, the density of the mixture
D less Shan that of dry air."

West Branch Gan Be Made Navigable.
II Congress Will See Its Way Clear TO Give
the Necessary Aid.

A recent decision of the United
States supreme court. not yet pub
lished IN the reports contains this
paragraph:
"Those rivers must be regarded as
public navigable rivers in law which
are navigable In fact, and they are
navigable in fact when they are used,
or are susceptible of being used, in
their ordinary condition, as highways
for commerce, over which trade and
travel are or may be conducted in
the customary modes of trade and
travel on water. The transportation
of logs IN booms or RATS, and even
the running of logs, is recognized
method Of navigation, and If the
stream is susceptible OF being used in
the ordinary condition for commerce
of this character, it would fail within
the purview of the definition as quoted
above"

LONG TROLLEY RIDES.
Trip of n New York Man from His City
to Chicago Almost Altogether
by the Electric Lines.

glimpse of trolley car travel of
the future is given in the recent ex-
perience of New Yorker. He jour
neyed from New York to Chicago by
trolley routes wherever it was avail
able, and that means nearly the whole
distance. He sums up delightful ex-
perience by saying: "Steam for
speed; trolley for good time" The
cost of his jourrey was considerably
greater, and much more time was
required than would have been in
volved in q trip by steam railway. He
was bent on pleasure, however, and
he found the novelty most enjoyable.
The journey alluded to is of general
interest as an Indication of the amaz-
ing rate of expansion of trolley car
service in the east. From New York
to Buffalo the traveller found the troll
ley is available most of the distance,
with gaps in process of rapid filling
by lines under construction. He went
clear across the state of Ohio, with
the exception of one break of few
miles, by his favorite conveyance.
The breaks in Michigan and north
western Indiana were also few and
short, and he notes that, generally
speaking, the farther west he wens
the better service. The best stretch
of electric railway in the whole dis
tance, according to his report, was
the 76 miles from Detroit to Jackson

THE CHANGED GRIZZLY.
Formerly Dreaded Animals Are No
Longer as Fierce and Com
bative az They Once Were.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having at
tackled men, but nowadays says the
"Grizzly Bear Lore" in Outing, the
grizzly does not seek out his human
victims, as there are credible state
ments that his forefathers used to
do. Neither does he lie in wait, and,
pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into
bloody shreds in delighted fiendish-
ness, as the old-time stories used to
tell The change in the grizzly's dis
position is likened by veteran hunters
to the change in the character of the
white cousin of the grizzly, the polar
hear of the arctics. When the sta
tions for the Hudson Bay company
were established the diaries of the
men there often referred to the
fright of attacks by polar bears.
MANY a navigator in the arctic seas
has been clawed and chewed to death
nv polar bears. But for nearly a
century the polar bear has not been
regarded as so very fierce, and nova
days it is looked upon as a cowardly
beast. Association with armed men
has modified the polar bears DISPOSE

BEATS HEALTH FOODS.
Ozone In the Rocky Mountain Air
Enables One to Go Long Time
without Eating.

Edgar Wallace Conable, of Colo
rado Springs, has discovered that the
ozone in the air of the Rocky noun
iains makes food practically un-
necessary, and that a 15-day fast is
beneficial to the body in every way,
says the st. Louis obe-Democrat.
II this is true, it need but be short
time until Colorado may ship all her
irrigated products to other markets
and subsist upon Colorado ozone, of
which there is an inexhaustible sup
ply. One meal once in Is days would
be such slight interruption in ones
fle work that it would scarcely be
noted at all, and would produce no
more apparent effect than the usual
frugal lunch counter collation. in St.
Louis. Many are somewhat accus-
toned to the ozone diet here already;
and when in midsummer one may
lave observed busy man regaling
himself on a slice of watermelon and
glass of milk, it is apparent the
ozone regimen was near. At first it
may be necessary to take only few
crackers with your ozone; after that
you can taper off on fooGine, des-
sicated bran and other health foods,
and then take up ozone altogether,
1t has often been said that in many
eases nerve alone will keep a man
alive. Ozone and nerve amount to the
tame thing.

A WORD WANTED.
One That Will Express the Ever-In-
creasing Glass of Words Named
After Individ uals.

A writer in the Spectator Is hunt
ing for a word and asks the readers
of the Spectator to assist him. The
word desired is one that will express
the ever-increasing class of words
that are named after some individual,
e. g., boycott" ''macadamize,
dolly" "mackintosh," "gamp," peel
err" Robert" Bobby" Whitehead"
(for torpedo), etc.
Such words should be classified un-
der a name by themselves. What
should this word be? "Cognominals"
has been suggested. A cognomen,
however, is surname, and such
words are not always taken from
the persons surname-"Bobby," for
example, to indicate policeman.
"Onomataneric" and "aneronomat-
ic" have also been suggested; but
that would not include CAMP or
"Mrs. Grundy."
No exception can be taken to the
term "anthroponomatic," so far as
accuracy of description is concerned;
hut it is terribly long word, and an
ant short word is desideratum.

Why Country Editors Het Rich.

The man who penned this current
piece of history knows what he is talk
ing about. The Monoa Mde1, says,
truthfully: CATER a great deal of
study and worry we have at last fig
ured out why many country editors
get rich. Here is secret OF their
success. A child is born in the neigh.
borhood; the attending physician gets
$40, and the editor gives the loud
lunged youngster and the happy
parents sendoft and gets So. 1t is
chrlstened and the minister gets S.
and the editor pets 500. 1t grows up
and marres; the editor publishes
another long-wlnded howery article
and tells dozen lies about the
beautiful and accomplished bride
The minister gets $40 and piece Of
cake, and the editor gets 5000. In
the course of time it dies and the
doctor gets from SIS to $Ioo, the
minister gets another five, the under
taker gets from $50 to $Ioo, the
editor publishes notice of the death
and an obituary two columns long,
lodge and society resolutions, a lot of
poetry and free card of thanks, and
gets So, 900. No wonder so many
country editors get rich."

AROUND THE CITY BY SMELL.
sder, PECULIAR to Certain Sections
would Guide One Acquainted
with New York.

"Tf you were to set me down in New
York blindfolded could give a pretty
close guess as to my whereabouts by
the smell of that particular locality"
said salesman in The Swamp, re-
,ates the New York Times. IF my
nose seemed stuffed with hides and
,allow l should know that | was in
the immediate vicinity of Gold, Cliir
or Frankfort street. A pronounced
pdor of spices would indicate Fulton
street, in the neighborhood of the
East river; but IL tea and coffee pre-
dominated the chances would be
strongly in favor of Front, Pearl or
Water street. A saccharine quality in
the air would suggest the sugar and
molasses neighborhood Of William,
Wall or Front streets. Perfumes
would place me at once on Leonard
or Chambers, or possibly Grand
street, while n strong odor of soap
would LETT me know that Pearl or Muir
ray street, or, perhaps, Greenwich or
Hudson was not far off. If the atmos-
phere was fairly reeking with the
scent of drugs, could figure out that
had wound up somewhere near Full
ton, William or Cliff street. Tobacco
would give me wide range, but
should probably be near Pearl, Pine
or Broad street. The smell of hops
would be a sure indication of White
hall street. West and South streets
have their distinctive odors of ship
ping and seamen's supplies"

THE COWBOY TAUGHT HER.
Dashing Women Riders in the West
who Are at Home on the
Bucking BrOnchOA.

1t is from the cowboy that the
western equestrienne has learned her
most valuable lesson in riding. The
cross-saddle and divided skirt have
given her equal privileges, and she
has not failed to take advantage of
them. There has arisen in the west
to-day a school of riders that prob
ably cannot be equaled in the world,
observes the Detroit Free Press.
This school is made up of women who
are to be found in every part of the
great western cattle country. They
are dashing, natural riders, who are
as much at home in the saddle as the
cowboy who ever donned a pair of
Snaps" Many of them take part in
the cattle round-ups, and some have
even acquired fame as steer ropers
and branders. To such women a
bucking bronco has no terror. In
deed, they regard "tussle" with one
of these vicious animals as nothing
short of good sport. They are seldom
thrown, but if they are hurled from
the back of quicker" they return
to the saddle and never cease plying
the quirt and spurs until they have
reduced the "outlaw" to submission.
