against n, however, by Swarthmore.
Both Yale and Princeton have been
defeated. the former by West Point,
while the Tigers succumbed to the
Nissshiumen. Both the New Haven
and Princeton teams were scored on
in other games. Harvard has been
unfortunate and az the close of its
season lost both TO Pennsylvania and

cIRAFFEs HARD TO HANDLE.
Several Reasons Why Few Of Them
Are Ever on Exhibition.


There is one order that never like
10 I'LL" said the animal collector.
THAT order is one for live giraffe.
Lions and gorillas and tigers and
pythons are easy to catch as compared
with a giraffe. The long-legged, long
necked beast can see. smell and hear
a hunter miles away And when q
herd smells danger. of It viii dash.
You can't catch a giraffe in pit
fall. IL would be certain TO break its
legs or neck If il tumbled into pit.
There is not trap that would do. A trap
powerful enough TO hold the strong
beast would crush its delicate legs like
pipe stems.
so there is only one way to catch
girades alive, and a mighty hard way
II is.
They must be surrounded by driy.
ers and chased until they bring up.
weary and helpless. in an enclosure
made of netting and bamboo. That
means a drive of many miles. lasting
many days; for il would never do TO
drive them into the enclosure in the
first rush of their terror. They would
dash headlong into it and kill them
selves
This hunting is terrible piece OF
business in itself, But after the Cir
affes are safely penned in the hardest
work has only begun. That is to trans
port the beast; through 500 or more
miles of primeval wilderness to the
nearest seaport.
Men have tried all kinds of ways
TO do this, even to driving the great
brutes. But that doesn't pay The
risk Of accident is too great.
Il prefer the oldfashioned plan, to
pen the animals in a bamboo cage
open at the top SO that their shoulders
and neck can stick out. Then the cage
is dashed TO great bamboo poles. from
twenty to thirty feet long AS many
natives as possible lift the four ends
to their shoulders and of goes Mr..
Giraffe on a free ride TO the ocean.
THE giraffe's Leg break very easily.
This is the ever present danger all
the way to the coast But when port
is reached. it becomes still more
grave, for II is in bringing the animal
aboard a ship and during the storms
of voyage that the collector may ex-
pect every moment that his precious
property win slip.
And If it slips and goes down in its
narrow quarters. it's good-by giraffe,
for its legs haven't room enough in an
ordinary stall on a ship and are almost
sure to double under it If II falls.
Bringing the animal aboard is an
undertaking in itself. When the steam
winch begins TO hoist the deep pen
out like mast, the collectors heart
is in his mouth. for the CRATES head
may get tangled among the tackle of
the ship or strike a spar. mast or
shroud and then there will be wild
times.
"And it isn't only broken limbs and
similar accidents that bother the cir
affe collector during the voyage. A
giraffe T. one of the animals which
will break their hearts in captivity.
The poor brute viii actually cry with
homesickness-at least. | have always
figured that it's inconsistencies.
$50 catching giraffes isn't a bust.
ness that a man really bankers for.
The reward is great. however, if you
can succeed in carrying one home
alive. for the giraffe is today the most
costly animal. and a collector can get
almost any price within reason for
good specimen"

A Famous Industry pwindIinq.

Two and a quarter tons Of whale
bone have been sold IN Dundee for
$4,000 ton, and only four tons are
left outstanding in the worlds sup
ply. There is no corner" in this pic
turesque commodity. The demand
has outrun the supply so rapidly that
in seventy years the price OF whale
bone has risen from thirteen cents to
nearly seven dollars a pound.
Yet never in the greatest years Of
the whale fishery did any vessel
make so many captures as were re-
ported by the Newfoundland whalers
in the past season. An average catch
OF somewhat more than two hundred
whales apiece was certainly a re-
markable achievement for four vessels,
