THE INDIAN RUNNER DUCK.
some OF the Strong Points of the
LeGhOrn of the Duck Family.

The Indian runner duck Is what
might be called an all around practical
duck. The general makeup Of these
ducks seems to be unlike many others,
inasmuch as they have SO many points
in their favor.
First, the color and plumage are very
attractive, being of fawn color mixed
with white, the brakes having steel
blue cap, with distinct white line run
ming from the eye around the back OF
the head to the eye opposite, the pure
white neck, the fawn colored breast
and back. tapering off with white in
wing flights and tail. They are strong
and erect. alert in every motion and
very hardy.
Second, their laying qualities are such
that they have been called and are
known today as the Leghorn OF the
duck family. One breeder claims for
one individual duck record OF 49,
eggs per year
1t is very fascinating for one TO col
lect eggs from these ducks after once
starting to lay, and they generally start

mon occurrence to bring in just az

Third. as a market duck they grow
very rapidly, and while they consume
much less food in proportion than the
pekin at ten weeks old will dress ten

the pair | find the runner smailer

WILD MEN OF BoRNEo.
Traces Of the Original side-shew
Fakes Have Beea Found by
scfentisfs.

Two men of science are exploring
the island of Celebes, adjacent to Bor-
neo. bent on proving the existence of
that creation of the county fair and
the "side show" the wild man of Bor-
neo. DIR. Paul and DIR. Fritz Sarasin
are the explorers who are hunting the
wild man on his native heath, says
the Chicago Tribune.
When the two scientists landed at
Macassar they heard stories of the
existence of the wild men, and these
they thought to be merely myths. 1t
was said that type of primitive mem
was extant and to be found in the un-
explored wilds.
Their informants said the wild men
were so shy and untamable that 1t was
almost impossible to get near them.
even to catch glimpse of them. The
stories were not generally believed in
Macassar, and the explorers thought
at first that escaped criminals had
taken to the mountains and had
frightened the natives into believing
them to be wild.
Upon further inquiry they learned
that the wild men, or wood men,"
were confined to a certain district,
and were subject to a rajah. They
proceeded to this district, bearing
gifts to the potentate. Under the in
fiuence of wise distribution of pres
ents the explorers so worked on the
rajah that he agreed to show them GER
tain types of the wood men, who were
held in captivity.
He had a man, two women and
a child brought before the scientists,
who decided at glance that they
belonged to a primitive race of man.
These specimens, However, were half
tanned and had been in captivity so
long that they had lost many of the
characteristics of their race. The
rajah added that the real wild men
lived in the mountains.
Protected by nature to large ex-
tent, they lived in the fashion of men
of the stone age, without many OF
the accomplishments of gentlemen
of that period. They defended them.
selves with stones, not even having
learned the art of making the stone
hatchet, which indicates that they
are considerably behind the state OF
civilization in which our ancestors OF
the stone age lived.
They are cave dwellers, not having
learned to build shelters, and prob
ably not caring to. They are
homogeneous. Culture is at such
low ebb with them that they cannot
even count, and they do not know how
to tell lie. They are in such prim'
tive state that they have to tell the
truth. Possibly their vocabulary II
not sufficiently developed.
These stories of the rajah have in
