WISCONsIN's DEER HARVEST.
Hunters Coming Out of the Woods
Make u Great Display of
CaPcaSses,

Any man spending the night in one
of the small towns along the line of
the Wisconsin Central railway in the
northern part of the state on any
evening between November Is and No
vember 30 would have seen enough
dead deer to last him a lifetime. Each
day they came in from the woods for
90 miles on either side of the road,
hauled in by wagons which brought
also the tents and chests of the anna
teur sportsmen who annually visit
that part of the country when the deer
season ia on, states the New York
Sun.
The law permits hunter to carry
two carcasses home with him, and
there were few men who did not
kill their quota.
The Wisconsin deer is larger than
the deer further south, as we'll as dark
err in color, and in November is apt to
be fat. Many of the bucks taken out
this season weighed between $50 and
100 pounds dressed, and one or two of
them touched the 200 mark. The ven
ison was all in the primest condition.
On one night at Fifield, little town
in Price county, 25 bucks were shipped
out, many of them with eight points,
some with ten, and some with IL. These
25 pairs of horns made a sight worth
seeing.
Without exception these deer were
killed with the rifle. The shotgun for
some reason seems to be discredited
as a deer weapon, though it will kill
clearly at rs yards when loaded with
buckshot, and the majority of shots
obtained in the woods are inside OF
that distance. Some of the bodies
showed the vitality of the Wisconsin
deer, being hit four and five times, the
bullets going through at places, and in
a way that ought to have been instant
! ly mortal.

Sixty of the GA tortoises have al
ready been sold for the sum of $780,
600. The rarest of the tortoises were
found in the craters of extinct vot-
canoes at a depth of 400 feet. They
weighed from 100 to 200 pounds
apiece and some of them as much as
600 and 1000 pounds. So there was
an immense amount of labor involved
in getting them out of the interior
and then down the outside of the
mountains to the coast.
The archaeological specimens found
were quite as valuable as the tor
toises. The most remarkable of the
10 new species was hitherto abso-
Iutely unknown species of cormorant.
1t has been named after Prof. Har-
ris "PhoIocrocoroX Harris" Its most
unique feature is a perfectly devei-
oped wing-which, however, is so
small as to be absolutely useless for
flight.
Another newly discovered subspe-
cies has been named the Webster
gaunet. 1t is as large as a Pekin
duck and flies 100 miles out in the
sea to feed, returning the same night.
A new variety of albatrOss, the Do
media Irrorata, was found, says the
Detroit ews-Tribune. 1t is of mag
nifcent proportions, very tame, and
it INDUCES in a curious pastime much
resembling fencing, two birds fenc-

KILLED BY "SLEEP DISEASE. "
Uganda Being DepopuIated by the
Sickness and Fears Are Felt
for Egypt.

The School of Tropical Medicine has
issued a report on the sleeping sick
ness which is now devastating Uganda.
Though it was discovered only few
wears ago, it is computed that the dis
ease has already killed from 10000 to
10000 people. and is spreading to new
areas with increasing virulence, says
a London account.
It's extension to the north will be
of the greatest menace to Egypt. Sci
entifc reports made on the spot de-
scribe the sleeping sickness as com
plant something like that group of
diseases known as meningitis or in
fiammation of the brain. 1t begins in
sidiousIy with changes in the mental
attitude of the patient. From that
time the disease progresses, and the
patient becomes stupid and restless.
and after other symptoms have passed
enters into a state of coma and dies.
The duration of the complaint varies
from month in acute cases to six
months or more in chronic cases. The
disease is practically invariably fatal,
and, although taking longer to cause
death than hydrophobia, may be
classed along with the latter as one
of the most fatal complaints known
to mankind. 1t is contagious and its
spread is assured by overcrowding of
many individuals in the same houses.
The depopulation of many large and
thickly populated areas is making
itself felt, and the outlook is very
gloomy. The only scheme yet devised
for the prevention of the spread of the
disease is the isolation OF new cases.

Raw Apples Promote Health.

Ripe, uncooked apples are among
the most valuable of our fruits. 1t
has been said that any man who can
and will eat two good-sized apples in
the course of every "a hours, will
never have govt, and if this destroyer
of comfort has already fastened its
fangs in his system, apples will van
quish even the most persistent form of
this legacy of luxurious living. Raw
apples are much to be preferred for
health reasons to those that are
cooked. Heat makes chemical changes
and destroys or devitalizes an acid
that seems to act directly on the lime,
salts and earthly matter created in the
system by equity and rheumatic condi-

EXPERIMENTAL STEEL ROAD.
Gives Great Satisfa CT ion to Teams te RS
In New York City During Snowy
and Slippery Weather.

Automobiles for some days past
have been watching the effect in time
of snow Of the experimental steel
road put down recently in Murray
street, between Broadway and Church
street, by the Automobile Club of
America. Their observation tends to
show that the steel rails are great
benefit to teams drawing heavy loads
up the grade, as the horses do not
slip so much as on the granite blocks
and go easier as soon as the truck
wheels strike the rails.
A number of drivers of heavy
trucks, when asked their opinion of
the new road, expressed themselves
strongly in favor of it and az want
ing more like it.
