ferrets Are SquirreI-KiIIers..

Under Colfax date the following in
teresting item has appeared in several
Of our exchanges:
Last spring William A. Davis, of
Steptoe sent to Iowa for a number OF
fenets, which he used to kill squirrels.
Several ferets were taken into field,
and when a squirrel was run into hole
a ferret was sent in after it. A fight
would ensue, in which the squirrel was
vanquished and sought safety in fight.
Mr.. Davis, with Two dogs, stood guard
at the entrance of the hole and as the
squirrel emerged the feuets and dogs
would kill it. With three ferrets and
two dogs l killed 81 squirrels in less
than an hour, and we never went out
but we got a number OF squirrels.
There is no escape from the ferets
and the dogs if the squirrel is seen and
run into a hole" said Mr.. Davis.
The experiment station of the United
States government has taken up the
matter, and Stanley Piper, Of Washing
ton, D. c., who has been here this
summer securing information for the
department. of agriculture, has written
Mr.. Davis for full particulars concern
ing the ferrrets, and his success in ex'
terminating squirrels. Mr.. Piper said
i shall probably send number o
ierets out here next summer, anc
make thorough test Of their ability az
squirrel exterminators. !"

Lewis and Clark Notes.

When the Igorrotes arrived at their
village near the trail, on the exposition
grounds, they got out their tomtoms
and enjoyed dance in celebration Of
their safe arrival. Then the big chiefs
began to look for a dog. Alter some
difficulty small cur was captured and
turned over to the Igonotes, who
slaughtered the animal, and in the
presence Of large crowd, cut the car
cass up and boiled it in a big pot.
Near by another pot containing rice,
was sizzling over the fire, and when
the meal was ready large hunks Of dog,
and bountiful punches of rice were
served to each Igonote man, The
seven women Of the band were not pei
mitted to eat of the dog, as the Igo:-
rotes do not consider their women suf-
ficiently brave to partake of that favor
ite morsal. The men eat dog because
they like it and also because they be-
lieve it makes them brave.

Magnesite Hills.

In the neighborhood of Malelane
and Kaapmuiden, 10 miles from Lour.
enco Marquis, in South Africa, large
deposits of magnesite, said to be
equal to the best Grecian article,
have been found. The veins are OF
varied width, in many places being
more than 10 feet in thickness, but
the central hill near what is known
as Salt Creek appears to be one vast
deposit about 1000 feet long by 200
feet wide, and upwards of 300 feet
high. According to the estimate made
by the consulting engineer, the depos.
its of magnesite at this particular
point exceed a million tons. The top
ographical position of the magnesite
hills is such that the deposits can be
quarried at very low cost.

Come, sweet night. Day, take thy flight;

Where the Ark Rested.

Contrary to the general idea, local
tradition places the site of the set
thing of the Ark of Noah not on the
summit of the greater Ararat, but in
the hollow of the saddle between it
and the lesser mountain bearing
the same name. Seen from the north
the view of the two mountains, with
their symmetrical forms, the lesser to
the east, 10000 feet in height, the
other 1000 feet higher, with a grace
full dip between, in which the Ark is
said to have reposed, is singularly
impressive, both in it's natural aspect
and because of it's association.

to put our foot upon the soil that

facts in the case referred to in
south Georgia are these: The
cotton was raised on the land of
Mr.. d. 2. Cugle of Oglethrope.

contained nine acres instead of

Barrett was accompanied by
