RABBIT-RIDDEN CALIFORNIA.
Partly Due to the Recent Craze for
Belgian Hare@ and the Conse-
quent Over-ImportRtion.

1t is reported that the importation of
Belgian hares in such vast numbers
threatens California with the same
danger which menaced Australia.
They are overrunning the whole coun-
try TO such an alarming extent that
bounty has been offered in some coun-
ties for their s,kins.
This is due partly, says the New
York Herald, to over-importation and
partly to their great fecundity-which,
by the way, reminds one of the small
boy who, frowning over his school
task, wished he was a Belgian hare,
cause he heard they multiplied rapid
~"
AT any rate, they have multiplied too
rapidly for the peace of mind of the
California racher whose crops suffer
from the constant depredations of the
miscbievous animals.
A way out of the difficulty might be
suggested in recent statistical report
10 the effect that millions of rabbits
are slaughtered every year in the Brit
ish islands and Australia for their fur.
which is used in making felt hats.
Tremendous numbers of these skins
are sent yearly to hat manufacturers
in the United States. after first being
sent TO continental Europe to be
plucked of the long hairs which are
useless in felt making. This is done
by cheap hand labor, competent ma
chinery to perform that work remain

which then goes to the felter. It sure
ly seems as if there must be some
economic method of bridging this gulf
between so obvious an oversuppIy and
an equally great demand for the home
product rabbit skins.

How the Earth chnnr..

How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are
not swept away in body to make
room for the children, but one by
one the old drop off and the young
come on, till a day is reached whe n
none of those remain that once were
here, says Harper's Magazine. How
does some form of human speech be-
come extinct? About hundred years
ago an old lady named Dolly Den
treath died in Cornwall. She conld
speak the Cornish language; after
her death there was nobody that
could. Thus quietly did the living
Cornish language become dead Ian
guage; and in a like unobstrusive
manner have been wrought most of
the new becomiDgs which have
changed and are changing the earth.

MARITIME SHEEP RANCHES.
Rocky Islands on the Coast of Maine
That Are U@ed for This
aisi Purpose. n

When an island off the Maine coast
IS good for nothing else it is turned
into maritir-e sheep ranch, and much
money is made in that way, men from
other states having invested large
sums in the purchase of islands and
stock. The sheep are turned loose,
and left to get living as best they
can. The islands appear barren, but
the sheep get along very well, and are
invariably fat when their owners come
with boats to take them off for slaugh-
ter in the fall. On some of the islands
there is no water whatever, but the
sheep get what moisture they need
from the heavy dews, and where grass
is scrubby and scarce the animals cul-
tivate a fondness for various kinds of
seaweeds, which diet is said to give an
excellent flavor to the mutton.
A few years ago much complaint was
made by well meaning but poorly in
formed persons of the supposed cruelty
of leaving sheep to take care of them
selves, without shelter, on these bar
rem, windswept isles, but it has been
demonstrated that the sheep suffer no
hardship whatever, or they would not
thrive as they do. 1t is related by
one man who had several hundreds of
sheep on Metinic island that he built,
at considerable expense, warm shell
ter for them, because his wife was con
stantly expressing the fear that the
poor sheep would freeze to death on
cold nights. The kindly sheep breeder
found that not single one of the ami
mails had taken advantage of the shell
ter provided, in one of the coolest
winters that ever blew on the coast
of Maine. Sheep will huddle together
where they like, and cannot be induced
to go into the sheds built for them on
several of the islands.
In the fall the island ranchers go
off in dories and bring some of the fat
test of the sheep ashore to market,
tying their legs together and tossing
them into the boats like so many bum
dies, and at the same time new stock
is carried to the islands. In the spring
trip is made to get lambs, and the
stock is again replenished The ex-
pense of sheep raising on the islands
is small, and the profits are cores
pondingly large.
