European geological gardens owing n
its size and attractive appearance. Cap
tain Mullett has gone to Santa Barba-
"a, where he will take a gasoline
| schooner and embark on hunting
cruise around the Santa Barbara is
lands. He expects to capture thirty or
forty of the seals with little difficulty.
In discussing his sea lion trade Cap
tain Mullett said that he captured thir-
ty of the animals last spring on the IS
land of Santa Cruz. They were caught
while they were on land by the aid of
lassos and nets. The seals make des-
perate fight for their liberty, but after
being placed in crates they become
comparatively docile in two or three
days.
When sufficient number have been
captured they are taken to the east in
special car in charge of an attend
ant, who feeds them on fish and gives
them an occasional bath. In New York
they are fattened, and If they are to be
shipped to Europe they are given sew
eral weeks rest. The percentage of
those dying is small. In fact, Captain
Mullett says they thrive and grow
much larger in captivity than when
they are in their wild natural state.
The management of the geological
gardens at Antwerp purchased ten Cal
ifornia sea lions last spring. These are
all doing well and proved such an at

Plan of Swedish Authority to Grow
Grains Able to Resist Frost.
In view OF the scarcity of seed grain
Injured to the arctic climate of the norr-
land and of the fact that Canadian and
other foreign grains sOwn in the vicin-
ity Of Stockholm, Sweden. have not
produced seed, Paul Hellstrom, chief
of the government biological institution
at Lulea, has projected a method OF
hardening oats, barley and other plants
to frost, says the Chicago News. His
plan is to grow the plants in a green
house, where the temperature can be
regulated by means of refrigera ting
machine. The lowest temperature the
plants will stand without being frost
temperature will then be lowered
slightly below this point and the hardy
plants that survive left to mature seed
for next year.
Seed Obtained in this manner will be
sown and subjected to a temperature
slightly lower than that which the
parent plants survived. The seed pro-
duced by the survivors of the second
years freezing will be subjected to the
same treatment, and so on for five or
six years, when, it is supposed, plants
grown from these seeds will be able
to withstand the night frosts which so
frequently destroy the crops in the
norrland. The government has decid
ed TO bear the expense of the expert
ments, which, if they succeed, may
avert recurrence of famine in the
northern province.

The hiding craze.

The walking mania has given place to
the craze for hiding oneself or ones
possessions and challenging the world
to find either one or the other, says the
London Taller The mystery of the
missing lady has raised the question
whether it is possible to conceal oneself
in London effectually. There are at
least a score of criminals hiding in
London at the present instant whose
appearance, habits and usual haunts
are well known to the police, and yet
they remain undiscovered. tits for the
ordinary individual an easy task If he
be so minded to become lost to the
knowledge of a few dozen friends and
acquaintance among a crowd of 6,000,-
600 people. The chances against his
being found by one of the few dozen
are millions to one.

He purchased a dog and hunting suit, a

Loaded down with sportsman things,

But each man knew the danger that lies
in wait for man who closes his eyes
When he shoots, so they kept theirs

And then at last,
AS the morning passed,
A quail rose up and whirred away.
Each gun went up, and the guide dropped
down; the dogs stood still in their

The triggers were pulled. and the guns

Plan.
Football and the classics are being
combined In the course of Greek at
Yale, says a New Haven dispatch to
the Philadelphia Press. Nearly a hun
dred poems recently written in Homer
ic verse on the subject of the Yale
Harvard football game were presented
by members Of DR.. FL. B. Wrights
Greek classes.
The poems are closely modelled on
the "Iliad," and special attention to the
use Of Homeric epithet was required
of the students. Instead, however, of
references to swift footed Achilles"
and Ajax, who bore his shield like a
tower" 1t was "Roraback with his
back sloped like mountain" and long
headed, red headed Rockwell"
The poems were the result of a plan
of DR.. Ii. Il. Wright, instructor in
Greek, to arouse the interest of the
students and to familiarize them with
the construction of the epic verse. His
theory is that the game of football
arouses the same feeling of intense
enthusiasm in the modern youth that
the events described in the "Iliad" and
the Odyssey" inspired in the men of
former times. Accordingly he made an
offer of extra credit to members of his
classes who would present poems along
the lines laid down. The general and
enthusiastic response, he says. con-
firms him in his theory.
The offer was made after he had
tried vainly to interest his classes
Greek. The language and lofty senti-
ments of Homer had no effect on the
majority of the students, who seemed
unable to get the spirit of the poetry.
In trying to find contempOraneous eX-
ample of the feeling which inspired
part of the worlds greatest literature
he thought of the game of football.
Football is real and vivid to every
one Of these men," he said in explain
fng his idea. at arouses the same in
tense admiration that is manifest in
Homer Rafferty,, Hogan and Shevlin
occupy positions almost like demigods
Of old In the estimation of the under
graduates. They are not uniting sub
jects for heroic poetry; they have many
of the qualificatiOns-stren courage,
daring and brains. The battle is one
in which the strong Of body, the quiC
of eye and the swift of foot will tn
umph. The poetry which | have read
is very satisfactory and shows that the
men have caught the spirit l desired.
Many of the epithets are truly Homer
ic"
The following is a part of one of the
poems handed in:
This is the noble array which Rafferty,,
mighty in battle,
Led TO the glorious conflict, under the
bonny blue banner;
Farmer, the mighty line hitter, low
smashing, firm as a mountain,
Guarded the center back field; Metcalf. the
speedy, stood next him
Holding the line at his right hand, and
Mitchell stood hard by his left hand.
Shevlin, whom Hermes, they say. had
given his wonderful sandals
Guarded the far right wing, strong in
offense or defensive;
Rockwell, the crafty, was there. close
behind Roraback, center.
Whom Bloomer. the mighty line smasher.
and Batchelder. strong as a bullock.

The Use of sweat Pads.

The use of sweat pads under some
circumstances may be justified. espe-
cially when horses have started work
In the spring in good form and are re-
duced in flesh during the summer. One
of the principal objections to the sweat
pad is that it tends TO become soggy
and consequently increases the friction
between the surface of the pad and the
shoulder. 1t sometimes happens that
by the use of the pad one can fit a col
lar that could otherwise not be worn.
In this instance the price of a collar
may be saved BY the use OF the pad
the draft Is often thrown on the outer
edge of the shoulders, while it should
be as close in as possible. When an
animal gets a sore spot on some part
of his shoulder it Is sometimes possible
to cut a hole in the pad and thus re
lieve the pressure on this place until it
becomes healed The main thing is to
have 4 collar fit the shoulder well
Where this is the case there is seldom
any danger Of irritation. providing the
names are properly fitted TO the collar
and pulled up tightly each time they
are put on. 1t never pays to work
away with collar that does not fit,
because an animal that constantly ex-
periences pain through ill-ftting har-
ness cannot do the same amount of
work, nor do it as willingly, as would
be the case If all parts of the harness
are adjusted to its form.-Iowa Home.

Gle Sam, shown in the cut, indicate
that 1t fills the bill. So large are the
yields of this variety under ordinary
culture. expert growers claim that 1t

in size. with comparatively few very
small specimens, and the quality Is of
the very best. In season the variety
is medium TO late. Unfortunately, re-
suits are not all that can be desired
on heavy soils or clay, but on sandy
or loamy soils it has no equal. In
form the Uncle Sam is oval, pure
white. with russell skin and shallow
eyes near the surface. Continued
tests may prove that the variety will
do better on heavy soils after the first
season. which is frequently the case
with sorts that have been grown from
the beginning In lighter soils. At all
events, the variety has too many good
points to throw it aside for culture on
heavy soils after a single season Of
testing.

and the ease with which a simply made
one can be cleansed will make it posi-
bic to keep it in good trim by sending
1t to the cleaners whenever it best can
be spared. Never try to wear such wrap
or suit when it is the least bit soiled.
Many white wraps are merely stitched
and strapped, a simple and inexpensive
manner of decorating, yet one that is
very effective, for if the material is pref
~ it will stand being simply made. An
cthcr pretty mode of decorating is to
trim with cord ornaments or tiny bit of
lace or passementerie, but the later mod
els are the palmer ones, and if only
bit of originality can be shown In the
trimming it matters not how simple it is
1t the pure white seems too light. very
delieate shades just off white may be
used, but white and cream white are the
more sensible, for if the wrap is to be
worn more than the skirt il will require
the more cleansing and it often happens
that the color of tans and light shades
changes a bit with each cleansing, SO
soon wrap and skirt would not match
and the economical scheme fail or be-
come unpleasantly apparent These
wraps can be made more dressy if they
are plain by adding a stole or collar of
lace to them. Their appearance can be
changed very materially in this manner
so that they hardly will be known as
the same wrap if ingenuity is displayed
IN different neck arrangements.

Sowing Clover in Corn.

Many who have attempted to get a
stand of crimson clover have failed
and have given Up attempting the
work. This is a mistake, for If one
can get a crop Of crimson clover to
turn under, the cost of farm fertil-
izers may be materially reduced. A
good plan is to sow crimson and red
clover mixed, at the rate of six to
eight quarts per acre. doing the work
just before the last cultivation OF
the corn and seeing that the cultiva-
ton is very shallow. In many cases
the stand of clover will be good and
it will go through the winter in fair
shape and, when plowed under the
following spring. will add greatly to
the fertility of the soil. 1t might pay,
in sections where poor results have
come from crimson clover, to sow
rye In place of clover and then try the
clover another year. Or cow-peas may
be used in place of rye or clover, and
then the clover tried the following
year. 1t pays to keep on experiment.
