SHORTAGE OF CANARY SEED.
Crop Failure in Turkey Sends Prices VI
to Famine Rates

A canary seed famine is imminent. and
the importers predict that values will be
advanced beyond all former records The
principal supplies are obtained from Tur
key. and the crop there is reported to
have been ruined by drought and to be
about one-siXth of the average yield. The
estimated output for the year is placed
at between $4,000 and 10000 bags. while
the normal production is about 175,OOO
bags.
The importers have been looking over
the other producing countries of the
world in the hope that supplies might be
available elsewhere, but they nave failed
to find offerings. Morocco and Sicily,
which next to Turkey produce the largest
portion of the worlds canary seed sup
ply. have had only light yields, and it is
said will have very small supplies avail
able for export. In addition to this, the
stocks in hand in the principal markets
of the world are light, and ME conbina-
ton of circumstances presents situation
which this trade has never b&fore been
called upon to contend with, aud which
is believed will bring about eGorbitant
prices. The holders in Turkey have al
ready taken advantage Of the situation,
and are holding their stocks at figures
which are higher than the importers here
are willing to pay.-New York Times.

KILLING PRAIRIE WOLVES.
Indian Boy, Initiating Their Cry, Brings
Them in Range of Rifle.

We struck out acros sthe sandy bed oil
the lower end of Death Valley toward Il
low range of blue-gray hills, where BOD
said there We're lots of coyotes and foxes
1t was at least three miles over to the
hills and the shadows of night were 1all-
ing when we dropped down behind huge
lava covered boulder in the head of
little draw down which the wild hogs
were said to come.
Midway down the shallow canyon was
q patch of green grass, fed, L suppose, by
some thermal spring that rose almost to
the surface and then sank away again
into the myriad underground streams that
sap this whole section. Perhaps fifteen
minutes passed and there came, wind
borne and weak, from far across the val
ley, the call of wandering coyote-and
then happened one of the most utterly
novel things | have ever known. Put
ting his hands to his lips, Bob let go a
perfect imitation Of the coyotes cry; a
moment passed, and from some closer
point than the last one another little wolf
answered him. Again and again he
called. and again and again came the
answer; then another and yet another
Joined ". s!ntil perfect circle of the wild
dogs Were crying around us, and still they
did not discover the deception.
/ began 10 fear it was some trick to de-
coy me into the hands of a band of Pr
uteS. but just then shadow, only the
least bit less black than the surrounding
night, swung suddenly around a huge
stone some thirty feet beyond Bob, and,
neither seeing nor smelling us, the timd
little wolf stood for an instant rs if
carved in stone. Silent rs Il snake in the
desert grass, yet with deadly certainty
of his prey that made me shiver, the half
breed turned over SO as to get his right
arm free to act For a moments space
there was silence, then ever SO light q
sound, and, although / saw nothing, heard
next TO nothing, the coyote leaped into the
fell TO lie silent in his tracks.
Attracted by the cry, another of the
band trotted out into little patch of
light cast by the now rising moon, just in
time to stop the bullet from my rifle. Of
course, the report of the gun stopped the
sport for the night in that locality, and
so we moved over nearer to camp, where
Bob, with his bow. killed another coyote,
and l. with the rife, a fox.--Field and

Wisdom of the Cat

We may like cats or we may not like
cats, but we must all confess that the cat
IS our superior He uses us, in his eyes
we exist for his delectation, we provide
warmth and milk, we are a hearth rug to
be jumped on and sat own, curry comb
to titillate him. In this aspect the cat
is vastly superior to the dog, which is
faithful to those who maltreat him. while
cats fidelity takes the form of gra-
cious adherence to those who serve him.
He has proof of his philosophy. We
knew an old lady, lodging in the sub
urbs, who spread bread on the lawn
every morning for the sparrows. Every
morning as the sparrows ate, the kind
old lady's cat, ready behind the box
brush took his toll. How could he doubt
that his mistress, his servant, was at the
normal task of doing him a service? p

A Eure Galloway.

"A huge galloway, which when COM
lpleted will be the longest in the world,
is to be constructed on the Argentine
side Of the Andes mountains by the en-
gineering firm of Adolf Bleichert & Co.
of Leipsic, Germany. This galloway is
to extend from the Chilecito station Of
the Argentine Northern railroad for a
distance Of thirty-two miles. It's termin-
iation at this end will be 1888 feet
above sea level, and the engine station
that will be erected at this point of the
ca leway will be the highest in the
world. Ne less than eighty-seven miles
of rope VIII be required for the cable
way. The project will necessitate many
remarkable engineering difficulties being
surmounted, since at one or two points
the galloway will have to span gorges
$500 feet wide by $50 feet deep. The
galloway is to have a carrying capacity
of forty-four tons of ore an hour, and
cars each containing 100 pounds of ore
are to be dispatched at intervals of forty
five seccnds.-Scientifc American
