sUPERsTITIoUs HUNTER.
California Tnxidsrmist shoots q
white Quail. and Then sprains
His Ankle.

Not twice in a decade does II fall to
the lot Of man to behold white
California quail. So far as is known
not more than half dozen have ever
been discovered in this section of the
state, and until this week none has
been captured or killed. As sacred
as the albatross TO the sailor has been
the white quail to the hunter. 1t is
the popular belief that i'll luck will be-
fall the person who molests one of
these birds.
George c. Morris, an amateur tax
idermist and collector of birds. did
not share in this superstition with the
other sportsmen, and when, in little
canyon near Tropico, he discovered
pair of them he fired and brought down
one of the birds. IL was strange
coincidence and one calculated to
strengthen the superstition attached
I o the birds, but in running to capture
the bird he had shot and which was
not totally disabled he turned his
ankle and sustained a severe sprain.
He secured his bird and, using his gun
for a staff, he managed to get into
the house of a rancher at the mouth
of the canyon and was by him taken to
the station at Tropico.
The plumage of the bird. which he
has since mounted, is SOFT and silken
The form and points Of the bird, other
than color, are Identical with the ordi-
nary quail

TO EDUCATE THE FEET
Yale University Professors to Give
instruction IN Dances.
Irish JigH, Clog Dances, Reels, TiltS
and Stage Dancing to BE Includ-
ed In the Work of the
1 Gymnasium. IN

Irish jigs, clog dances, reels, tits
and stage dancing will be taught TO
students of Yale who elect such in
struction as part of the work required
of freshmen in the gymnasium of the
university. DR., William G. Anderson,
director of the gymnasium. will be in
structor in the unique curriculum. He
will be assisted by w. Hand and /. II.
Warner, also instructors in the gym
nasium.
The purpose of the dancing exercises
is to give physical poise, grace, agil-
ity and suppleness. DIR. Anderson
said to-day: dancing was an impor-
tant part of the training given to the
boys of ancient Greece. They were
The most graceful men of ancient ma
lions, largely because OF that train
ing. In fact, the Greeks so much APP
preciated that fact that they made the
dance an integral part of the young
boys education. No less wise man
than Socrates took instruction in
dancing 10 reduce his stomach, and in
mis- later years commended dancing.
"We shall begin our course of in
struction with the Irish jigs This will
enable the students to acquire balance
on the feet and the shifting Of weight.
After that we shall try the Irish tilt
The tilt is leaping dance and is used
for its practice in sparring. These
two dances are all which will be given
this year We plan TO put on another
school year the clog and the soft-shoe
dances, the buck and wing varieties.
OF course, these lead logically to the
acrobatic dance with the handsprings
and the shoulder rolls, but we have
made no specific plans for trying them
here yet"

NEW FACTS ABOUT MOON.
Assistant Professor OF Astronomy M
Harvard Figures Out the Altitude
of Craters ON the Satellite.

William Henry Pickering, assistant
professor of astronomy at Harvard,
has made discovery interesting to
astronomers. DR.. Franz, the German
astronomer, published two years ago
an exhaustive treatise on "The Noun
tains and Craters of the Moon" in
which the latitude and longitude of
each mountain and crater were care
rully worked out,
Prof. Pickering has been at work
recently on new atlas of the moon.
and he has discovered that no account
has been taken heretofore of the alti.
tude of the craters. He has discovered
that the latitudinal and longitudinal
measure of each are greatly affected
by the height.
