most level with low. boggy land lying
en- route. Several different routes for q
canal have been preached but row that
Tarlet slough is to be opened the most
feasible route seems 10 lay along this
route. Tarlet slough almost connects
the two bays with a natural waterway
which could be made deep enough TO
pass small river steamers with little
cost. It runs from Jonsone (Black)
lake, Just quarter OF mile north Of
this city, to the head Of shoaawater
bay. Then cut across a small ridge
from this lake would let the canal
empty into Bakers bay with only a
distance Of half mile.
In an Interview with Chief Engineer
A. C. Murdock, who has just completed
the NorthernPaclfic survey from South
Bend TO the Columbia. about this canal,
he said:
II have often wondered why such a
canal has not been built and wondered
the more since have been over the
Bear river country thoroughly In maxi
ing this survey, II could be dug very
cheaply and when once water flows
through 1t would be widened by the
action Of the water itself. The current
once secured would. TO my judgment,
wash the sand out OF Bakers bay and
would also deepen the channels at the
head Of shoalwater bay
His opinion is. however, that the best
route for the canal would not be to
follow the old TarIet slough but cut
across the country east Of this slough.

HOW HOGS EAT HICKORY NUTS.
Remarkable Facility with Which the
Animals Reject the Shells.


People often wonder how it is that
hog can get all the kernel out of hickory
nut. or any other kind of nut for that mat
ter, without swallowing any of the shell.
said a man from the country, but as
matter of fact there is nothing mysterious
about the process. Mind you. hogs don't
swallow any of these harder substances.
They get rid of them, and then IL is just
easy for them to get rid of the shell of
nut as it is for man, or a squirrel You
might think that because hog brushes
the nut into small fragments he would
necessarily swallow good portion of the
hull. But he doesn't do any such thing.
1T is a conceded fact among men who
know anything about the subject that the
horse is the most perfectly constructed
animal in the world. considering the pur-
poses for which the horse is used, and its
methods and habits in life But / want to
put in a good word for the hog when 1t
nuts without getting any of the harder
substances into the stomach. The horse
has very fine teeth. The back teeth par
ticularly are finely constructed with a view
of enabling the horse TO crush its food we'll
before passing it into the stomach. These
heavy grinders, heavily set in the horse
jaw. are looked upon as marvels. So they
are.
But what's the matter with the teeth of
the hog? What's the matter with that
marvellous process by which they separate
the kernel of the nut from the hull? 1t
has occurred TO me that this is no small
achievement. and nature is al least entitled
TO some sort OF tribute for her skill in
making this result possible. In the first
place the hogs tongue is more sensitive
than would be supposed. and it can easily
detect the harder from the softer sub
stances. BY some sort of process the hog
is able to work the bits of hickory nut
hull over TO the side of its mouth, the
tongue being used for the purpose. and
here they are thrown out at the corners.
Probably you have noticed that the cor
ners of hogs mouth are somewhat differ
ent from the corners of the mouths of
other animals. The lines OF the mouth do
not end so pontedly. and hence 1t is a
much easier thing for the hog TO work the
harder substance which he does not care
to swallow out through these little OPEN
ings. Stories often told of men who
could eat fish in the same way, that is, by
working the bones out of the corners Of
the mouth, and without the use of the
hanls. Against which L must enter pro-
test This Is one of the habits of the hog
man has not yet been able to practice.
and the indications are that the hog will
have a monopoly on II for some time 10

When a Chicago clergyman last week
smelled smoke in the auditorium, and, fear
ing a panic, dismissed his congregation
with the remark that twinge of an old
infirmity prevented him from finishing the
service, il doubtless did not occur to him
that he was furnishing material for new
controversy about means and ends In
several places moraliStS have written TO
the newspapers raising two questions. one

appear and incapacitate him for duty just
a the moment when he thought the build
ing was on fire? If not, was he justified in
saying so. in order TO get his congrega-
ton out of doors as quickly and as quietly
as possible? There seems TO be a deal of
interest just now in problems of this sort,
like Mark Twains story OF the conscien-

from impending danger does it not suggest
a supernatural visitation? Some student of
