We have had many applications in the past
for scrip applicable to unsurveyed land, but
the prices OF scrip having that power were pro-
hibitive. We can now locate unsurveyed pub
lie land at reasonable cost, compared with
the prices generally, and with absolute assur-
ance as to title. Good as Valentine. Many
overlooked this opportunity when Forest Re-

WILD BABOONS.
An Incident Which Illustrates the
Caution of the Animals

One OF the farm boys drew our ut
tention 10 what seemed little more than
Il couple OF dark spccks on the slope
OF the hills to the right, but we could
soon see that they were moving, and
when they came within half n mile Of
us we could distinctly recognize them
AZ Il herd of bnboons.
The boy said that lie was quite sure
they were OH their way to the water;
but, to our surprise, they did not make
any advance. a quarter of mn hour
elapsed, half nh hour; still no sign Of
their approach. All at once, rs If they
had started from the earth by magic,
at the open end dS 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 Ind come
by cfrcuitous 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
mcnts 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. Roth balloons
SpranS toward the water, and, leaning
down. they drank till they were salts
fled. Then, having gravely stretched
themselves. they socmnly stalked
away on all tours In the direction OF
the herd. There was little doubt, there
fore, that they belonged to the herd
and Ind 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 baboon ut n
time came to tho WATERS edge and,
having taken its 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

origin of the Metric system.

Some very interesting facts have
been collected about the foot, the most
widely used measure OF length In mod
ern times. The measure is derived
from the length Of the human foot, but
apparently has varied moro than that
portion Of the skeleton can possibly
have done in historic times. Tho an
Client Welsh foot, for Instance, was
nile inches long, whereas tho Piedmont
foot was twenty inches. III modern
times 1t has varied from the Span
ish foot. Of less than eleven inches, to
the Venice foot, Of more than thirteen
inches. Almost every country has used
foot measure Of different length. It
was this confusion which led the
GEench to doyise the metric system.
