BUFFALO" JONES "CATALOEs. !"
 It looks as though the buffalo of the Western plains, which is really bison, and came so near becoming extinct a few years ago, were going to come back to his own in a way. Of course, most people have never heard of c. J. Jones, better known as ''Buffalo" Jones and know in a general way that he has been working, as have several other people in this country, to save the American bison from becoming utterly extinct. The "cataloe," which Jones has produced by crossing bulls with Galloway cows, promises to become commercially profitable. The thing that always stood in the way of the buffalo surviving in the sharp struggle for existence in America was that he was of no particular use. He was big in the withers and small in the flank, just the reverse of a good beef steer, so that he was far outclassed by domestic cattle as meat producer. His meat was tough, too, and while buffalo robes were a standard article of trade in this country at one time they almost passed out of recollection with the slaughter of the great herds that furnished them in the West.
 However, furs are always in demand and the ''cataloe" furnishes a pelt if anything, is better than the straight buffalo robe. A letter recently receiv- ed from Jones by friend in Wash ington says that the Galloway cows that have been tried have furnished splendid robes, and the breeding, which for years was in an experimental stage, has been put on a business basis, and is now more than paying for itself.
 Of course, Jones is an enthusiast on the subject of the buffalo, but if his "cataloes' are producing good . high grade pelts there is no question but that the buffalo will be carefully nursed along and saved from extinc- ton for his commercial value which is a good deal better safeguard than any conderation. The acFcass of the ''cataloe" may not rank with the best beef for a steady diet, but it is said to be fairly good eating and to have the meat better distributed for purposes than it was on the original buffalo.-W ashington Star.

ly would not pay any one to make ex- tensive preparations for going in search of any of them, for, though the Aino, that extremely hairy aboriginal of Japan, hunts them all most assidous- ly, he will render no assistance to a stranger to do likewise, and as for the Japanese hunter, he is the most pitt full of shikaris.
 And then again, the slightest deYia- tion by foreigner off the beaten tracks of foreign travel in Japan ig more like ly than not to lead to unpleasantness for him, for suspicion of foreigners and their motives is one of the leading and worst traits in the Japanese char acter. Not being sportsmen or travel CTS in the same sense and from the same motives as the English speaking people are, they cannot understand why one should spend his time in pursuit of objects which-t0 them, at ieast-bring no tangle results. To travel they have no objection, but do so to see places of interest and with some very definate object in view such as for the spying out of ofreign land or for the gaining of knowledge upon a special subject. but never for sport. To revert, however, to the wold game of Japan it is pity indeed that mat ters are as described, for the bears of the land are unique, as we'll from the point of view of the enormous size, strength and fierceness of one species as from the diminutiveness of another. The first is a great carnivorous brute, a sort of grizzly, who makes nothing Of killing and carrying off fourteen hand pony. Next to him comes a black beast very much like the sloth bear of India, and last of all dininu- tive little brute scarce larger than good sized spaniel, exceedingly shy and seldom seen.
 ,aThe wolves of Japan are scarce, cowardly and of little account, and found now only in the extreme north ern parts of the empire. The stag is about the size of and in make and shape and habits, too, like the fallow deer of England and Scotland. The little Japanese antelope must be a very near relative indeed of the jungle bakri of India, possessing, as he does, the same general appearance and shy ha- bits,

cnlI for T Pence Conference.

To Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
 An apology! How adequate! We would suggest that King Leopold be requested 10 offer his kind offices to try and bring about a peaceful settle ment between Yale spirit and the citl- zcns of New Haven and to that end he be requested to call a conference to meet at Brussels at the earliest pos sible moment; that the Board of Alder men of New Haven elect one of its members to represent the city and that the Yale Corporation hold spe- cial meeting and select one of its mem bers to present it's side of the ques- ton. If this is done it will sufficiently befuddle the issue so that if like vio- lations of our laws are committed by humble taxpayers inclined to be play- ful, there'lI be no precedent established that the city authorities have one. law for the boys imbued with Yale spirit and another for humble citizens. We further suggest that the services be opened with the usual diplomatic for malities preceded by the elevation of the Yale Mace and the singing of Everybody works but father" In order that the conference may be aided by words of wisdom it might be well that the Yale sociologists abandon their autumn trip to New York to study stray types and devote all their psychological energies to the study of young gentlemen of Yale

 .AEOTHER EXPLANATION.

All the explanations aren't made yet. A French naval authority thus ex- plains the collapse of the Russian line of battleships of Rojestvensky squad ron in the fight of the Sea of Japan. He says that from the first the ships possessed only a moderate degree of stability They were topheavy, and rolled so much in the Bay of Biscay on the way out that at Vigo there was serious question of turning back. Then at the Saddle Islands they ship ped as much coal as they could carry, as they had done previously on the coast of Amman. The additional weight of coal in each vessel has been esti- mated at 1,5O0 tons, which would bring the water more than two feet above the ordinary waterline, and cover the armor belt to the extent of several inches, even in smooth water, and much more than that when the sea was rough. The top of the six inch armor above the armor-belt would not be more than seven feet above the level of the water in a smooth sea, and a hole in the thin protection above the six-inch armor would bring the water onto the armor deck when the ship rolled heavily and into the vessel when the arnor deck was pierced. There is no doubt that the armor deck in. several of the ships was pierced forward, Togo's fire being naturally directed forward when he headed the Russian ships off. The re- suit was that the water entered for ward and sank the ship down by the head. In the meanwhile, they became more topheavy, owing to the con- sumption of the coal below in the bunkers, not from the load on deck, and this would cause the vessel to turn turtle According to all the ac- counts received from eye~witnesses of the battle, all the Russian battle ships which were lost sank in that way. They first dipped forward and then turned over.

4. CIGARETTE CASE.

They have a servant-girl problem in England too. It showed itself the oth- CT day in London police court. A maid servant was in the habit of smok- ing cigarettes while she was on duty. She began early in the morning, and was often so sick in consequence that she could not dc her work. A char woman testified that the maid used her stocking for a cigarette case. The smokers mistress finally was tired of cigarette ashes in beds, on parlor or naments and in soups and entrees. She gave her a months notice. The maid struck her mistress at the time, and hinted to the magistrate that the latter gave her cigarettes and smoked with her, but the magistrate ruled against her, and she failed to recover her months wages in lieu of notice.
 Of course if the mistress did smoke a few cigarettes that was no reason why the ma:d should smoke enough U make herself and the mistress sick.

Once there lived a Polar Bear.

 In the coldest fashion. Serenades in vain he played,

 Half the PenguinS frantic; Climbed the Pole that coyly shuns

 From Dretended feeders. Up she turped her nose in pride.

A retired physician rightly writes: Having practiced medicine for many years, it has been my experience to have many young ladies consult me about their studying to be a trainer or professional nurse. When a girl de- cides that she will become a trained nurse she must put out of her mind every thought of romance. There is nothing romantic in a work which is full to repletion of drudgery and taxes every power of mind and body. Only an intelligent woman, quick to compre- bend her duties and willing to obey lit- orally the orders of physician just as soldier on the battlefield obeys the orders of the commander, is fit to be 8 nurse Only woman of very strong physique, able to endure much loss of sleep, to bear patiently with the ca- prices and unreason of the sick, and to go through whatever the situation may demand, without breaking down from strain, is fit to be a nurse. The incl dental needs of the sick room include much that is distasteful to fastidious woman, and unless one can conquer all repulsion and enter heartily into the fight between life and death that goes on in the chamber of illness, one should not undertake this particular profess sion" All of this is true.

IS HARVARD ATHLETIC ENoUGHe

HA Il A.
 President Eliot of Harvard cannot tell why there is a decrease in enroll ment this year at his institution Of learning, though he feels free to deny that the decrease is because of liar yards reputation of being a rich mans college" Most of the decrease in the enrolment is among eastern men. The strangest fact is that every department shows the decrease except the graduate school. President Eliot says: Of course, in the medical school this is easily accounted for in the in- crease of the entrance requirements, but in the other departments there is no accounting for the decrease. The number of high school men is greater than ever, with an accompanying de- crease in the number of graduates of private preparatory schools. This dis poses of the theory that Harvard is rich mans. college. No one can ac- count for the decrease this year.. which amounts to about 1SO in the whole university.
 Perhaps President Eliot hasn't thought calmly and deeply enough about this important matter. Peraaps the decrease is due to the fact that his young gentlemen are not athletic enough to give their school the right reputation.

Secretary Wilson, of the Agriculture department, has scheme for uplifting many of the negroes of the South. It is to give them a knowledge of general agriculture, and thus enable them to do something else besides raising cot ton. It is said that as result of conference with William Polk, prom inent planter of Alexandria, Virginia, an expert will be sent to Alexandria to conduct a government experimental farm, where knowledge of the soil will be carefully taught to negroes. Mir. Polk believes that it will be better to teach the negroes to farm intelligently than to teach them trades.

THE BIRDS FRIENDS
WHAT AUDUBON SOCIETIES ARE
DOING FOR FEATHERED TRIBE
Well Organized and Exert Wide In.
6uence Special Work Being
Done with the Children
Of To-Day.

Literally without fuss or feathers,
the women and men who compose the
Audubon societies are working togeth-
er quietly. steadily, thoughfully for the
protection of birds, and hence for the
good of all mankind.
/ AS We saw last week. all the states
and territories in the country, with the
exception of about dozen. now have
Audubon societies, and as soon as these
few come into the field, the problem OF
bird protection will he easier for every
body.
The existing societies regard as their
most important line of action at the
present time, the awakening of public
sentiment regarding the protection of
birds. Compared with the population
of the country. the entire membership
of all the Audubon societies is but a
handful. and, work as they may, they
can accomplish little in the fight
against the innumerable enemies o.
the birds. unless the rest OF the peo-
pie, or at least considerable part of
them, are in sympathy with the great
Audubon movement. One of the first
things an Audubon society does after
becoming organized itself, is to urge
the organization of numerous branch
societies in different parts of the state.
OF at least of appointing local secre-
taries at widely-scattering points. and
thus securing little centers of interest
from which to spread the gospel of
bird protection. Wisconsin has nearly
800 such branch societies, with a very
large membership. including both
grown people and children. These To-
cal branches can in their turn spread the
good work in many ways. They can en-
courage the organization of school So
cieties and of bird clubs; they can urge
the purchase of bird literature for the
local libraries, arrange for lectures on
birds, get up exhibits of hats, decorated
without the use of the plumage of wild
birds, and they can. arrange for bird
walks" to he taken in the woods and
fields, with view to studying the
birds.
In number of instances, Audubon
societies have, by their influence
and contributions, succeeded in hav-
ing established in some library Sec
ton devoted to bird literature. Such
plan is very useful in large towns
and cities, but in order to cover the
rural districts, 1t ia found better to
institute travelling libraries, each
consisting Of a small collection Of
good bird books, which is sent from
point to point Throughout the state,
and allowed to remain at each point
for stated time.
The Audubon societies also do much
good by arranging for lectures on birds.
