designing artistic concert programmes for the other

suite, leaving his palace in Berlin. Under this the
Kaiser sketched numerous military trophies. and at
the bottom OF the programme he drew picture OF
the Great Electors cuirassiers attacking in battle.
Incidentally the Kaser's visit to Neubeck recalls
that when his majesty was theirs two years he
shot his thirty thOusandth head Of game. To COM

ANTLERs VERSUS HORNS.
How Elks Shed and Renew Their Wonderful
Weapons.

How many persons among the many thousands
that annually visit geological parks realize as they
pause to admire the noble bucks of the deer family
particularly the wapti American elk. that their
branching antlers cast off annually and re-
newed and well hardened within the short period
of seven months?
Before describing the manner in which elk shed
their antlers I should like to explain the difference
between 'antlers'' and horns" All the members
OF the deer famly-the moose. caribou, elk dn Eu-
rope the animal which call moose is known
elk) and smaller deer-possess antlers, while the
appendases the heads of goats sheep, cattle and
the like known horns, and, with one excep-
tion-the American antelope or pronghorn-are re-
tained by their owners throughout life.
Elk shed their antlerS about February !, though
much depends upon the locality and upon the age
and health OF he animal 1t often happens that
antler is carried several days after the other
has been dropped. The new antlers push off the
old ones and when they appear they resemble
scars the animals forehead, but soon take the
of silver dollars As they continue to grow they
gain in length only, and by July l they have at
tained their full size If you could examine them
now you would find them soft, rather flexible.
skin, covered with velvety fur. The antlerS are
lin the velvet" as the hunters term 1t, most
critical period for the owner who seems to realize
it. for he is careful avoid contact with anything
liable to injure them. Should an accident happen
and the skin get broken the antler disigured it
might result in the elk's bleeding 10 death in
his carrying deformed antler until the following
February. Through process of nature the blood
vessels that fed the antlers shut off about
the middle of July and then they begin TO harden.
A few weeks later the elk may be seen rubbing
them against trees or thrashing them about in the
brush while endeavoring TO rid them of the velvet.
