The Prairie Dog.

An old cherished superstition about
the prairie dog Is thus ruthlessly
brushed aside in the American Natural
History by William T. Hornaday:
1t is not true that the prairie dog
lives In peace and harmony In the same
burrow with the rattiSsnake and bur
rowing owl The snakes would make
short work of the young prairie dogs,
and the latter would quickly kill the
OWL 1t is safe to surnise that when
a deadly and quarreisome RATHER In
yades the home OF prairie dog fam
lily the latter speedily seeks a home
elsewhere. The burrowing owl is In
the habit of taking refuge in abandon
ed burrows and nesting in them to save
the labor Of digging burroW for il
self In the Philadelphia Geological
garden Mr. \. +. Brown once tried the
experiment of associating burrowing
owls and prairie dogs The owls Were
Immediately killed and torn te pieces

The knight errant stood with feet

To the strange things his investga-

The Name California.

The word California was first used
in work on Spanish chivalry pub
lished In 1910 This work was an al
legged history of the adventures Of
"Amadis of Gaul and his son Esplan-
diam" 1t was of great length and d.
yided into great number of short sto-
ries. one of which was the manner In
which "Califia, the queen of the island
of California, a country inhabited only
by women, who lived as amazons and
had gold without end" saved Constan-
tlnople from an attack by the Persians
This story as we'll as others was wide
ly read by the people of Spain and by
many regarded as fact. Among the
stanch believers were the members Of
the Cortes expedition who upon land
ing upon the peninsula of Lower Cali
fornia imagined that they We're on an
island. which owing to its apparent
riches they named after the fabled Isle,
and Cortes himself called the new
country California"
