ODD FACTS ABOUT DEER.
Wonderful Jumpers, With Marvel.
Gus Sense of Smell.

wonderful Jumpers, With a Marvel
Sense of Smell.
Deer are wonderful jumpers, as may
be imagined" says a writer. Il have
seen hind clear fifteen feet or so and
buck as high as tall man merely to
avoid small drain, and also, at a
drive, l have seen stag jump cleap
over one of the heaters, taking a fence
at the same time. There is still ex-
tant the record Of a famous leap made
by stag down on the borders of Eft
tick during hunt by one Of the old
Scottish kings. The place is known
as the Harris Leap and Is commence
rated by two stones, which the mon
arch had erected to mark the spot
They measure twenty-eight feet apart
Deer have a marvellous sense Of
smell. With strong wind blowing
they will scent man a mile off. Yet,
though their powers Of scent are mar
velous, confess to having had one
illusion quickly dispelled. From read
ing various old books on the subject I
had come to regard their sight as
something quite abnormal and fondly
Imagined that, on spying deer, say, a
mile or so away, cautious advance
was necessitated, after the manner of
our ancient enemy, the serpent.
"Now, though deer do have good
sight, they are certainly inferior in this
respect to the roe, and so long as you
keep perfectly still. will have great
difficulty in detecting you. 1 proved
this again and again one July when
trying to obtain photographs of wild
deer. I did not get any photographs,
though plenty of experience, but was
often lying within fifteen yards Of
deer without their being conscious Of
my presence"

Perpetual Noon.

One Of the oddities of our system Of
reckoning time is exemplifed in the
question as to what time the north
pole keeps In theory all places on one
meridian of longitude keep the same
time; therefore the north pole, being
the central point Of all meridians, must
necessarily have all times. Should the
pole ever become habitable the resi-
dent would be able to have day or
night at any hour Qn theory by elect
ing to take his time from a meridian
to correspond. Should such an unex-
pected event ever occur there would
have to be made some readjustment Of
our present system Of reckoning time
to suit the arctic regions.

Oldest of Crop Pests.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country and that it's
name was given it as a result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the i'm
pediments of the Hessian troops sent
over against the American revolu-
tionists by George III in ITO. It
was first noticed on Long Island
about 125 years ago, and has since
spread coextensively with the progress
OF civilization and wheat growing
west, north and south. Sometimes it
completely destroys the growing
wheat in certain sections, and the aver
age loss it causes is about 40, 600, 900
bushels annually, or about 6 or 7 per
cent of the total crop. The entomo-
logical bureau has studied it long
and closely, and the recommendations
made to wheat-growers have undoubt-
eddy kept the damage far below what
it would otherwise have been: and
yet, in spite of the best efforts of the
scientists and the farmers who act on
their advice the fly got beyond con-
troll during the season of four years
ago and destroyed fully so per cent of
the crop in the infested region, the re-
sultant loss being in the neighbor-
hood of s35, 100000 or $40, 600, 900.
This extraordinary and unfortunate
development was due to weather con-
d1tlons favorable to the pest and to
an unusual scarcity of it's parasitic
enemy. This parasite, which forms
inside the body of the fly, has been
secured in large numbers by the en-
tomologists and liberated in several
wheat-growing states, and much good
has resulted.

Boys, Stay on the Farm.

There is a lesson in the telegraph
ers' strike for boys raised on farms
VINO might in many cases remain on
the parental homestead and inherit a
good start in life if they we're but con-
tented to become farmers, says an ex-
change. Hundreds of farms in every
state in the union are sold by the aged
people who can no longer care for
them into alien hands, while the sons,
with whom they would gladly share
their income, enter railroad or other
employment in some of the great CEN
tiers where they command only small
salaries, but have visions of future
promotions which in many thousands
of instances are never realized.
If young men could only be made to
see that independence and compe-
tency can surely be gained by giving
as much brains to farm as is re-
CURED to hold minor and unprofit-
able railroad position the ranks of
operators might become so thinned
that railroad companies would be
compelled to pay better wages in or
der to keep their business running.
1t is amazing to think of the number
OF young men who are constantly
leaving the farm, where is independ-
ence and health and all the best things
of life, for the crowded and more ex-
acting occupations in town and city
where compensation for services rem
dered is to the many always unsatis-
factory.

WILD BABooNS.
An Incident Which illustrates th
r. Caution Of the Animals.


Caution Of the Animals.
a7 One Of the farm boys drew our at
tention to what seemed little more than
a couple of dark specks on the slope
at the hills to the right, but we could
soon see that they were moving, and
when they came within half a mile Of
us we could distinctly recognize them
as herd Of balloons.
The boy said that he was quite sure
they were on their way to the water;
but, to our surprise, they did not make
any advance. A quarter of an hour
elapsed, half an hour; still no sign Of
their approach. All at once, as if they
had started from the earth By magic,
at the open end of the pond, not sixty
yards from our place Of ambush, stood
two huge males
When or how they got there no one
could tell. Probably they had come
by circuitous way through the val
ley, or it might be that they had crept
straight down through the grass. They
had certainly eluded our observation.
Being anxious to watch the move
ments of the animals and to ascertain
whether they belonged to the herd
playing under the mimosas, refrained
from firing and determined to see
what would follow next. Both balloons
sprang toward the water, and, leaning
down. they drank till they were salts
fed. Then, having gravely stretched
themselves, they solemnly stalked
away on all tours in the direction Of
the herd. There was little doubt, there
fore, that they belonged to the herd
and had been sent forward to recon
hotter, for as soon as they got back
the entire herd put itself in motion
toward the pond
There were mothers taking care of
their little ones; there were half grown
animals, the boys and girls of the COM
pany. At first only one balloon at a
time came to the waters edge and,
having taken it's draft, retired to the
rest, but when about ten had thus ven
tured separately they began to come
in small groups, leaving the others roll
Ing and jumping on the sand.-Youth's
