ways OF THE MINK.
a Study of the Clever LittIo Animal In
Its Own HauEita.


Its Own Haunts.
"One summer morning when ]
was in the Adirondacks," writes a
correspondent, ''I rose early to go
bass fishing.
"The day before we had caught
three bass and three sunfeh, which
we put in little pond out on the
edge of the point in order to keep
them fresh until needed. AS / was
preparing my rod my attention was
attracted to splashing noise in the
direction of my pond of fish.
"Suspecting that something un-
usual was taking place, I approach
ed the spot cautiously and saw the
long, brown body of mink gliding
away with one of my fish in his
mouth.
Il was greatly interested in Tie
sight of live mink operating in his
own haunts and decided that I
would rather see him work than
eat the fish myself. While he was
concealing the fish in some nearby
but unseen nook [ walked still
closer, until l was within twenty
feet Of my pond, where l remained
motionless, awaiting developments.
"In moment the energetic little
animal reappeared at the pond, gave
a quick dive into the water, like q
seal, and came up with another fish.
Glancing about him with his little,
black, beady eyes, he hurried off
without even noticing my presence.
81 stood motiorless and fascinat-
ed and watched him transport every
one of my fish 70 his secret store
house. After all my fish were safe
ly slowed away the little worker
tripped in nervous haste back to-
ward the woods to tell his family Of
the find and invite them all down
to dinner.
"Late in the afternoon of that
same day this successful little fisher
man led colony of four other
minks out of the woods and down
to Rocky point. The dinner party
had to pass close to our hotel in or
der to reach the point where the
fish were stored. To do SO unobscrv-
ed they must travel under a long
board walk. In doing this one little
innocent mink, not knowing the
ways Of man, came, up through
hole in the walk. A city boy saw
him, and before we could stop him
he seized club and battered him to
DEATH.
"While this tragedy was being en-
acted all the other minks under the
board walk set up a chattering wall,
which sounded like dozen rats
caught i'll a trap. An Adirondack
guide and old trapper who happen
ed near called to us to stand by and
watch the Survivors carry off their
dead. After we had scolded severely
the murder..- of the little mink we
did as the guide. suggested.
In q few minutes out popped
three little brown heads from vari-
Gus points near their dead, and then
one brave little fellow ran out and,
seizing the dead mink III his mouth,
carried him back under the walk.
''The little dead mink doubtless
had decent burial, with all the
pomp and ceremony known to these
intelligent little creatures of the
great woods. 1t was my intention to
try to make pets of the minks which
/ had seen from time to time around
the shores of our premises, but the
slaughter of one of their number
resulted in driving all of them away
during the remainder Of the sea-
son. ."-Y outh's Companion.

ANCIENT SIGNALLING.
The Method Invented by the Grecinn
General HIneas.

The ancient Greeks and Romans
practiced telegraphy with the help OF
pots filled with straw and twigs satu-
rated In oil, which, being placed in
rows, expressed certain letters accord
ing to the order in which they were
lighted. But the only one Of their con-
trlvances that merits detailed de-
scription was that Invented by a Gre
clan general named Hineas, who -four
ished in the time of Aristotle, intended
for communication between the gen
erals Of an army.
1t consisted Of two exactly similar
earthen vessels filled with water, each
provided with a cock that would dis
charge Gil equal quantity Of water In
given time. SO that the whole or any
part of the contents would escape In
precisely the same period from both
vessels.
On the surface Of each floated piece
Of cork supporting III uprighc marked
into divisions, each division having q
certain sentence inscribed upon 1t.
One of the vessels was placed ut each
station, and when either party desired
to communicate he lighted q torch,

which, If everything had been executed
with exactness. corresponded with that
of the sender and conveyed the desired
information.-Spare Moments.
