Different Working OF Animal Instincts IN de Presence Of

Their Whole Idea SecIusion and Solitude.

To every man death c. meth soon

dumb hour. II may be in the mo.
ments Of dawn or when the vltallzlng
energy is at noon, though sometimes
It comes not TN the chill and dark

more pathetic and yet irresistlbly at
tractive subject for the serious stu.
dent OF medicine than the investiga-
ton OF the mysteries OF that process
of physical dissolution which men
speak Of as dying.
And yet there is so personal an in.

ems peacefully. The animal feels the
oncoming OF the shadow and creeps
into the deepest coverts. The unnum-
bered multitudes choose their own
place and close their eyes for the
last time as peacefully as ever they
lay down to sleep" The vast major
ity of animals go away quietly when
that time comes; and their death is
not recorded because man has eyes
only for exceptions. Something calls
the creature from his daily round;
age or natural disease touches him
gently in a way that he has not felt
before. He steals away, obeying the
old warning instinct of his kind, and
picks out spot where they shall not
find him till he is well again. and
there he dies.
Man thinks himself a little lower
than the angels, and ii may be 80.

GLEN B1uLAH PARK.
Large Game Preserve In Garfield
County, Colorado.

@AtNN AANNA FFe~NlNN W &afNNtN
County, Colorado.
Glen Beulah park, IN Garfield coun-
~, near Grand Jupction, now almost
rivals Yellowstone In natural scenery.
This park is private property. An as
ISOLATION has charge OF the $4,000
acres II comprises, and little hunting
Is being done within its borders.
George Newton, superintendent Of
the park, called at the office Of the
state game commissioner yesterday TO
renew the license that permits the as
ISOLATION to hold in captivity several
kinds Of game animals. Mr.. Newton
told OF the conditions In the park.
Members Of the association are fol-
lowing the example OF many great
hunters In abandoning the rife for tho
camera. Mr.. Newton brought with
him a number OF fine photographs as
illustrations Of the proves In the new
field Of sport. These were presented
to the game warden.
More than 800 deer now have their
homes in the park, said Mr.. Newton.
Some Of the animals are very tame,
showing the same characteristics as
those In Yellowstone, evidently real.
izing that they will not be killed. 9th.
er animals have shown the same dis
position to make friends with man.

Asia's Pendulum Lake.

Among the many interesting dis
coyeries Of Dr. Sven Hedin in Central
Asia is a singular oscillation in the
position Of the lake Of Kara'koshum,
or Lop.nor. This lake seems as rest
less as some rivers that change their
beds. but the cause OF its movements
is a secular change In the level of
the desert, in the midst Of which 1t
lies, bordered by vegetation. AT pres
ent this lake is retreating northward
from the place where Prievalsky
found It, and creeping toward its
ancient bed, where II is known to
have lain in the third century Of the
christian era; and as 1t slowly
moves, the vegetation, the animals
ard the fishermen with their reed
huts follow its shores northward DR..
Hedin believes that after reaching
the northern part Of the desert the
lake returns southwark, the period Of
oscillation being 1000 years or more.
