WOLF HUNTING IN ENGLAND.

In the wild fell country to the wect of Northum-
berand hundreds OF the inhabitants continue TO
follow the track OF the wolf which during the
last few days has laid the iocKs of the farmers
under heavy tribute by Staying their sheep.
Two months ago wolf escaped from q private
collection AT Shotey Bridge, twelve miles from
Newcastle. and all OF it was lost Until about
three weeks ago when sheep worrying began in
the Allendale district
Raids have been organized. and the wclf has
been chased over miles OF the snow covered felIs
by men armed with guns and various weapons but
without result. Some Of the pursuers are said 10
have got within range Of the animal with their
guns, vet the disturber OF rural peace has man
aged 10 escape In many lonely homestead t is
q of dread to the inmates whose imacina-
tons run riot the wolf as they listen TO or
retail the latest news concerning its whereabouts
On Saturday a supreme effort made To bring
him down. but he never allowed himself TO get
within range OF his pursuers' rifles He was finally
chased by hOrsemen over the snow covered moors
By way of West Burnhope, and when night fen
he had reached Bakersfield dense. wild wood
covering OF not less than seven hundred
i acres, within the solitude of which he doubtless
spent the night.

baen overcome in one way or another. and

eating and engine room stations.
The stations are the bridge the after

room chief electricians room, central
electric lighting station and the dynamo
shelf.
The talking and listening parts are con-
nected so that all the officer or sailor has
to do is TO put the receiver TO his ear.
A great deal OF ingenuity has been exer-
cised in the construction Of the instru-
rnents in such manner as to exclude the
