WAYS OF WILD ANIMALS.
Actions Of the Skunk, Coon and ottar
Are at Times Very In
terestinR.

own cousin In foolishness to the
rabbit Is the skunk. Confident of his
awful weapon Of defense, q skunk is
only equaled In reckless bravery by the
porcupine, and both are too stupid to
Jake any warning, says a Washington
Star writer. Around army camps,
where the cooks cut open canned food
with q Ratchet, it is not an uncommon
thing to catch skunks near by. The
top OF the can being cut in quarters
by two blows from the Ratchet, 1t is
emptied Of its contents and thrown
on the waste pile. II that can hap
pened to have held salmon, it is ire
sistible to any skunk or coon that
passes to leeward of it. A little in
Vestigation locates it, a paw is tried
and then a nose. The yielding top al
lows an entrance, but forbids an exit,
and so, with the can as a hood, the
prowler falls a victim to those in the
camp.
II is interesting to note the actions
OF an otter when he finds the tracks
Of man near his home. He stops and
his hair bristles up and he casts q
furtive look around as IL he had been
caught in the act Of stealing chickens.
Little by little he edges away, and il
he has a wife and children, sneaks on
to them and hustles them out and
away from the place. He knows the
dangers OF civilization.
The wildcat and mountain lion,
after one experience with a trap, be-
come very wise and hence correspond
ingly hard to trap, but a strange thing
about most animals that are wise in
avoiding steel traps is that they seem
to know that when a trap is sprung 1t
is no longer dangerous and will 60
right up to 1t and eat the bait
So it is with all wild animals have
seen on the plains The horse and the
dog of civilization may be mighty in
telligent and smart, but those animals
that are compelled to live by their wits
are not very far behind II at all.

Secret Of Violin Varnish.

It has long been suspected that tho
master makers Of violins in Italy In the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
knew Of some remarkable gum which
they employed in making the varnish
for their instruments. Mr.. George Fly.
of the Chemical society, London, who
has carefully investigated the subject.
concludes, after showing that the var
nish exercises q decided influence over
the tone Of q violin, that Stradiyarius
and other famous makers probably
used only linseed oil and resin rather
than some mystical gum The resin
was oxidized with nitric acid. 1t u

age Is advantageous rather than detri-
mental to a violin is well founded

stoppage in his speech. This does not
prevent him, however, extracting a max
imum Of enjoyment out of his
vacation, which he annually takes
In southern France and north
ern Spain, historical and pleasant re-
gions which he explores on a bicycle.
This is a rather inadequate description
Of Hon. Alvey A. Adee, whose Official
designation is the second assistant Sec
rotary Of state, but it will suffice to pic
ture him to the hundreds Of people who
have had to do business at the state de-
partment.
Secretary Adee's whole life has been
devoted to diplomacy, and If the truth
were known, the majority Of the able
state papers that have appeared over tho
names Of much more famous men than
he during the last 20 years have been Of
his composition. He is an expert in the
use Of diplomatic language, and in the
construction Of correspondence that
will carry harsh truths in the softest
terms.
Not long ago Mr.. Adee presided at the
meeting Of the directors Of the bureau
Of American republics. AS he could not
hear any motion made or speeches de-
livered, he worked out q programme
which he had typewriter and given to
each member. In this programme the
order of business was indicated and the
time to be allotted to zach subject. The
number of minutes each member was to
be allowed to speak was also indicated.
Mr.. Adee called the meeting to order
exactly on time and then with a split
second watch before him proceeded to
carry out the programme. Some Of the
grandiloquent South and Central Ameri-
can ministers were much astounded to
be cut on in the midst of their speeches
by the sharp pounding Of Mr.. Adee's
gavel. The latter never let on for a mo-
ment that he knew he was interfering
with speeches, but Immediately an
nounced the next order Of business, and
in this way the meeting was conducted
on schedule time and according to the
Adee programme.

medium height, has his headquarters.
There is nothing unusual about his ap-
pearance, but his name is known
throughout the length and breadth of
this land, and for that matter through
out the world, wherever disease and in
lection exist. This is Surgeon-General
Walter Wyman, the conservator Of the
nations health. He is at the head of the
public health and marine hospital sery-
ice, and his name is associated with
every important movement looking to
the control Of epidemics and the preyen-
ton Of diseases and plaques entering
the borders Of the United States.
DR.. Wyman is q modest gentleman,
who never intrudes himself on public
notice, but his position at the head of
the health department of the govern
ment brings him into prominence. and
the work Of his bureau has been so i'm
portant and at times almost sensational
that it necessarily has made him one Of
the best-known Of public officials. DR..
Wyman has worked, during the IA
years he has occupied his present place,
in favor Of national health laws and
regulations and quarantine. He has
successfully opposed the old regimes
Of shotgun quarantine that obtained in
the south. The United States health Of
hcers are now recognized everywhere,
and no longer opposed in the discharge
Of their duties. DR.. Wyman has been
able during his administration to so DO
lice the frontiers with inspectors Of his
bureau as to reduce to the minimum the
danger Of the Introduction Of yellow
fever and cholera.
Surgeon-General Wyman was in the
marine hospital service before he was
called to his present position. He was
four years at the head Of the marine hos
pital in Baltimore, and in addition to
looking after the health Of American
seamen, he found time to take up the
fight against the cruelty practiced on
crews of oyster vessels. He was also in
the marine hospital in New York.

What will humanity do for struc-

idle question. and there are men who

the Chicago News.
Humanity will then resort to the
use of papier mache as a substitute for
wood in building" they say, and then
they point to the rapid advancement
made in the papier mache industry
within the last ten years. Scores Of
Chicago homes, hotels, stores and 9TH

concerned. decorated throughout with
paper work. Where formerly one
would find heavy wood carving, rich
wood panels. columns, capitals, carya-

to be seen such creations apparently
Of wood, but in reality made Of papier
