ACTIVE VOLCANO IN UTAH.
Small Crater Recently Discovered by
ProspectorS In Salt Lake
Region.

What appears to be partly active
volcano crater has just been discovered
by George McNeme and several other
prospectors, at a point about 20 miles
north of Moab and two miles east of
where Salt Wash crosses Salt valley,
and about six miles south of Richard
son post office, reports the Salt Lake
Tribune.
On high mesa the prospectors dis
covered steam or smoke rising some
distance from where they were and on
investigation found that it rose from
a hole in the solid sandstone formation.
The orifice is oblong. about three feet
in width and six feet long.
A strong current of warm air carry
ing some vapOr arises, but seems to
have little or no gaseous smell. The
sides of the hole are very black and
sooty. y rock thrown in apparently
falls long distance. The prospectors
working in that section Will make fur
ther investigation.
This section has been prospected
over for a number of years, and cattle
and sheepmen have ridden over it for
the past 25 years without discovering
the crater. The prospectors who Wis
tied it say they would not have found
it but for seeing the steam arise, as it
is a place that would be unlikely TO be
passed. 1t appears to be an old yolcan-
ic vent that has been lying dormant for
years and is just beginning to show
signs of activity.

PATCHING CRABS fUN aAltMD-
Ingenious Method by which Large
Numbers Are Procured from n
Maryland River.

Those who, crab for market on the
Choptank river, Maryland. have an in
genious method of catching crabs in
quantities, says Country Life in Amer
lea. a rope about the thickness of a
ylothesline, several hundred feet long,
Is kept coiled in keg. The closer
the cover the more pleasant the sail
with the fisherman to the grabbing
grounds, for at intervals of two feet
along the entire length of the rope he
has untwisted II and inserted between
the stands short pieces of salted cells.
The torsion of the stands holds them
tightly in place. Each end of the rope
has keg buoy attached. together with
a heavy stone. Arriving at the ia
vored place, usually on oyster beds,
he throws a key overheard and pays
out his highly scented rope as he sails.
When the other end is reached he an
chors it with another stone, and throws
out another buoy. After lowering his
sail he waits few minutes, then
takes his stand on the bow of his boat.
Alongside of him is his landing net,
with handle six feet long. He raises
the buoy and stone, and hand over
hand pulls his boat along the line
When a crab. clinging to its refresh
ment, comes in sight he sedzes his net,
dashes ii under the crab, and filings it
into the boat. The wary crab may
loosen his hold and dive for the bot
tom, but such is the fisherman's dex-
terity that his net is swifter than the
crab. One seldom gets away. Several
hundreds of crabs are often taken at
each overhauling of the rope. When he
has caught all he wants, he packs them
in barrels and sells them to local deal
ers, who ships them to market.

sTovER CRIB AND sELF-FEEDER.

slough grass or anything that will
turn the rain. As the material packs
very close of itself and is very imper-
vious to rain, it will keep we'll. An
other method described and illus
trated by the same writer combines
cheapness with the "self-feeder" idea.
The crib is made of the slat fencing or
cribbing as used by the farmers in the
west when their crops are larger than
their crib room. The Stating is made
usually in five and siX-foot widths and
two ties put Up, making the combined
height from ten to 12 feet. A floor Of
boards is put in and the bottom tier
of Stating fastened to the supporting
posts five or six inches from the floor
boards, which should project two or
three feet outside the Stating. The
cattle will pick up clean all the feed
they will pull out through the space
between the boards and Stating.
When no more can be reached by the
cattle, the space around the bottom
can be filed by the attendant of the
stock with an iron rod sharpened and
bent into hook at the end.

LITTLE BIT OF HOLLAND.
The Busy Eishermen and Thed dr
"Nrows" of VoIendam who Catch
GuiIders of Tourists

The inhabitants daily dress in
their Sunday best, to catch the
"guilders" OF unsuspecting tourists;
but along the dyke, in the single
street of Volendam, one sees the fish
ermen and their coed "vrows," not
in holiday attire, but dressed for
their vocation, precisely as Nolendam
fishermen have been clothed for CEN
turies past, says Four-Track News
The men wear tight-ftting jackets,
buttoned to short, fun breeches, wood
en- shoes, and a shock of straight, thick
hair, clipped by their good danes
around the edge of a bowl, in the good
oldfashioned way. The women are
busy as ants in heap of sand, wasting
not a moment Of time, knitting their
long woolen stockings as they clatter
along the busting street in their shoes
of wood, and short striped skirts with
padded hips, their heads surmounted
by clean white caps of characteristic
cut
The tiny houses, the narrow street,
everything is so compact that one cas-
lily imagines he is in q dolls village,
while the prodigious men and stalwart
women recall the childhood's wonder
ment, when our gaze first rested upon
the illustrations as we turned the
pages of "Gulliver's Travels"

CHANGE In MIXERS.
1t Should he Avoided, II Possible, ae
1t Affects the Cows Temper and
Milk Yield.

There is great difference in the ef-
feet that change of mixers will have
upon different cows. Some cows will
submit perfectly to milking by almost
every one who approaches them, but
no COW will milk equally well with all
persons. Some COWS will dislike, or
fear, or battle nervously with three
out of five persons who try to milk
them They will often refuse to yield
their milk to any other than the milk
er to whom they are accustomed.
Owners of dairies cannot well over
look this preference of the cows for
certain mixers. 1t is a preference
that is based on nerves, and neither
the cow nor the milker can control it.
The COW in perfect nerve accord with
the attendant will show her feelings
by her actions. She will lay her head
against the one whom she likes. When
one whom she does not like approaches
her. she shows her dislike by stand
ing perfectly still, or by turning away
her head, or by moving away.
The Hollanders and the Jersey ISL
anders, those masters of dairying, un-
derstand this characteristic of their
COWS, and they make much of their
knowledge. They accustom their mag
nifeent cows to personal touch. to the
human presence, to the voice, to pet
ting and coddling and caressing. The
results are seen in the perfect animals
they produce, the highest types Of
quality and capacity known in the
dairy world.
The dairyman should discover the
likes and dislikes of his COWS as early
in their careers as possible. The milk
and butter fat they will produce will
depend largely upon the mixers he
sends to draw their milk. The point
is that the COW is nerve machine.
She can do her best work only when
her nerves are in their normal condi-
tion. The milker, whose presence or
touch or voice throws her into agita-
ton, or fear, or anger, will never be
able TO induce her to produce milk in
the largest quantity or of the best
quality. Therefore the high-class COW
must have n mixer whom she likes, or
she win fall short Of her possibilities.

WHY THEY TATTOO.
Strange Belief of Women In the
Baurhlan Islands, Near
New Guinea.

In several islands of the Indo-Pacifc
region, says Prof. Thilenius, who
has been closely studying the subject
for some months, the belief prevails
that perS ons who are tattooed have n
much better chance of getting safely
into the next world than those who are
not tattooed, says the New York Her
aid.
As a typical example, he cites the
ease of the women in the Laughlan is
ands, a small group east Of the south
crn end of New Guinea. These women
tattoo the greater part of their bodies
with angled designs, but never fail to
tattoo concentric circles on their legs.
They believe that between the
Laughlan islands and the island of
Vatum, in the Trobriand group, to
which their souls should go, there is a
great snake over which they must pass.
The snake asks each soul for her tat
tooing, and the soul takes it off and
gives it to the snake, who covers itself
with it. The snake then becomes
broad and fiat, and the soul passes over
it as over bridge.
If, however, the soul is not tattooed,
the snake shrinks, and the soul falls
into the sea and cannot reach the bles-
sed sanctuary in Vatum. Moreover,
worse still, these wretched souls are
straightway changed into fish.
This strange belief has prevailed in
the Laughlan islands for long time,
and there is no evidence that it is dying

IMPORT WORMS FOR BIRDS.
A Chicago Dealer Receive" Large
Quantities from an old Ger
man in New Jersey.

Chicago is obliged to import its meal
worms from New Jersey.
The worm most valued from com
mercial standpoint is the small, inch
and a half long specimen known as the
meal worm, usually found in -four mills
and kindred places. 1t is sold at all
bird stores as dessert or piece de re-
sistancc for the family canary or par
rot The retail price for meal worms
is 25 cents per hundred, and large guam
titles are sold, says the Chicago Trib-
une. A man who sells large number
of meal worms at his bird store in State
street each year says that the supply
used to come from various mills around
the country, the mill boys being tempt
ed by liberal rewards to put in their
noon hours prying around behind the
loose boards of the mill eXhuming the
worms and sending them 60 Chicago.
But now the dealer receives all his
supply from an old German down in
New Jersey, who runs n sort Of meal
worm ranch This man breeds the
worms and ships them when they are
fully grown and of proper weight and
color. He has building fixed up to
resemble an old mill full of loose
boards and with -four and meal plenti-
fully sprinkled around. The unsus-
pecting worms are led to believe that
they are boarding in real mill until
