HERD OF BuFFALo IN CANADA.
Thirty-Three Of the Rare Animals
Are Carefully Preserved ut
Winnipeg.

There are 80 buffaloes in the dominion
herd at the Banff National park in Win.
nipeg. All are in splendid condition
says the Bangor Commercial There
are IA full-grown bulls and the old
patriarch is 30 years of age. He was
the first animal to be owned by Lord
Strathcona at Silver Heights, where all
the animals now in confinement in the
west came from.
This animal is of historic Importance.
Very soon he will be shot and then he
will be mounted. He has been might
fighter and has retained the leadership
of the herd throughout many years
until two years ago when he met his
waterloo. Old as he was his immense
bulk and strength enabled him to kill
one antagonist and to nearly dispose
of another. Had it not been that be
broke his horn on a rock the issue
would probably have been different
The bull which now rules the herd
is one imported from Silver Heights
and which defeated all the other bulls
one by one. A herd of such dimensions
as that is a sight which, since the time
when the buffalo roamed in countless
herds over the prairies, has rarely
greeted the eyes of white man. The
enterprise of the officials who have had
the buffalo in charge for their efforts
to preserve this tangible link of those
days before the great west felt the
tanning hand of he white settler upon
his name is to be commended by all who
feel an interest in the life which oc-
cupied our great solitudes before his
tory began for us.

An effort is being made to establish
a new kind of scientific farm at Woods
Hole. 1t is to be known as "bioIog-
ical farm" and the purpose is for ex-
perimental investigation of heredity,
variation and evolution among living
organisms, as well as for study of the
life histories, habits, instincts and in
telligence of animals. The advocates
of the scheme point to the fact that
many of the problems involved in such
studies and Investigations cannot be
settled in laboratory. 1t is necessary
that the living forms be observed amid
natural conditions, and without inter-
ruption from year to year. The pro-
posed "farm" would consist not only
of fields and woods, but also of ponds,
of reach of the sea, and of islands.
Many leading evolutionists have long
urged the foundation of such an estab-
lishment, but hitherto nothing of the
kind has been done except by individ-
ual effort on small scale.-Youth's

An interesting demonstration or the
intelligence Of the ant was made by a
student I'm the biological department OF
the University OF Pennsylvania. The
young man constructed roadway two
feet in length OF metal and divided II
into two parallel paths, separated by a
high partition. One OF the paths he
painted red and the other blue, and at
their end. I'm plain view, he put a NOR
sci OF rich cake. says the Philadelphia
Record. Then he set an ant at the be-
ginning OF the roadway. The ant at
once made for the cake over the red
path, whereupon the student turned on
O lamp under his mechanism and heat
ed the path TO Az uncomfortable dc
gree. The ant kept on and finally Sc
cured the cake, but on its return 1t
must have told itself that 1t had had o
mighty uncom Portable journey. Several
hours later the student brought II out
again, another morsel of cake being SCI
at the end Of the roadway. The ant
thought q moment and then started for
the cake over the blue path. 1t re-
membered that the red one had been
hot. To prove still more conclusively
that II remembered. the student next
blocked up the blue path. whereupor
the ant did without the cake rather
than venture after it by the red one.

sought to be admitted to the bar. Mr..
Reed and a young southerner were be-

knowledge OF the law. Turning first to
the southerner the judge asked abrupt

A Feminine Mystery.

Among the minor mysteries u life
Is the bewildering fact that, as rule.
the tall woman is Of melancholy dis
position, while her smaller sister Is OF
q bright, brisk and cheerful tempera-
ment. Science, so far as we know, has
never addressed itself to the solution OF
this puzzle. and the amateur philoso-
pher is therefore left to cudgel his brain
and marvel. Why length Of limb should
make for solemnity and melancholy,
says writer on this subject, Is hard to
determine. Length Of limb seems to
suggest to the mind the need for q
stateliness of department, which never
troubles the consciousness OF "the smau
and tubby." We are left to conclude
that the feminine side Of our nation.
which is rapidly becoming famous for
Its extreme height. will some day be-
come as serious and gloomy as Quakers,
and then we shall take our pleasures
more sadly than ever.-Lond0n Globe.

Rousseau was a type Of the melaL'
cholic temperament, assuming some
times the symptoms Of veritable pa.
thetic insanity. He sought to realize
his phantoms in the least susceptible
circumstances. He saw everywhere en-
emies and conspirators, frequent In the
first stages OF insanity. Once, coming
to his sailing vessel In England, he in
terpreted the unfavorable winds as
conspiracy against him. then mounted
an elevation and began to harangue ttf
people, although they did not under
stand word he said. In addition to his
fixed ideas and deliriant convictions
Rousseau suffered from attacks OK
acute delirium, a sort Of maniacal excl
tation. He died from apoplectic attack.

"the counts hedge or "the counts

was built In the grove. Presently a
village sprang up around the palace

Venice owes the accumulation OF
great wealth from a new industry 10
one Of her natives named JOquin. IL
was in the year 1856 that he observed
that the scales Of a fish called the
bleakfish possessed the property Of Civ
ing a milky hue to water. After exper-
imenting with ii he discovered that
when beads were dipped into 1t and
then dried they assumed the appear
ance OF pearls. This covering, however,
was easily worn away, and successive
experiments led TO the manufacture of
hollow glass beads, all blown separate
ly, then polished in revolving cylinders
and finally coated inside with the
pearly liquid. the latter being protected
with wax. This branch Of industry Is
carried on In Venice to this day.

Ammonia.

Few people realize the possibilities of
ammonia. The preparation known as
common spirits of ammonia Is valuable
In many ailments. For example ten or
twenty drops in large wineglass of
water will revive fainting person. 1t
Is an excellent stimulant in case OF
nervous depression and headache. as II
restores circulation. Again. few drops
Of ammonia poured into hard water
make the water soft. and 1t takes the
dirt off Of paint more quickly than
anything else. takes the stains out OF
carpets. cleans combs and hairbrushes
and makes gold and silver look as good
as new
