CoNEY ISLAND, NEW YORK.

Of all the millions who visit giddy
Coney Island during the season scarce
ly one out of FIVE thousand has heard
of the pathetic origin of the name of
the place.
To begin with, Coney Island is not
an island at all, but is merely separ-
ated from the main body of Long Is
land by Coney Island creek, which is
a creek only when the tide comes in.
About two hundred years ago. so
the story goes, poor fisherman and
a hunter by the name of Coney, NOV
ed with his family down to the ex-
treme southwest end of the island
and built modest little hut in which
they set up their humble home.
Coney fished and hunted and made
occasional trips over to the north
shore for trading purposes.
One day, while Coney was away on
one of those trading expeditions, a
terrific storm swept that part of the
island where his home was situated.
EVCLy tGStlSC vi LuC huI was dCoalOJ
ed, and it has always been supposed
that the entire family was washed
into the sea, with the home, by the
high waves.
For years poor Coney searched for
some trace of his missing family, 60
ing into all parts of Long Island, but
always returning to the site of his for
mer home vainly cherishing the hope
that some one of them might return,
but they never did. His mind final
ly gave way and the lonely man lived
the life of recluse fisherman until
one day he told his friends he was 60
ing to meet his lost ones. He left
and was never afterward heard Of.
The place gradually became known
as Coney's Island, the name since
merging into that of Coney Island,
the far-famed pleasure resort to
which all New York focks during the
summer months.

ODD FACTS ABOUT DEER.

"Deer are wonderful jumpers, as
may be imagined, says writer. Il
have seen a hind clear fifteen feet o.
so and buck as high as tall man
merely to avoid small drain, and
also, at a drive, I have seen a stag jump
clean over one of the beaters, taking
a fence at the same time. There is
still extant the record of famous
leap made by a stag down on the
borders of Ettick during hunt by
one of the old Scottish Kings. The
place is known as the Hart's Leap,
and is commemorated by two stones,
which the monarch had erected to
mark the spot. They measure twen-
ty-eight feet apart.
"Deer have a marvellous sense OF
smell. With a strong wind blowing
they will scent man mile off. Yet,
though their powers of scent are mar
velous, 1 confess to having had one
illusion quickly dispelled. Fron
reading various old books on the sub
iect / had come to regard their sight
as something quite abnormal and fond
ly imagined that, on spying deer, say,
a mile or SO away, cautious advance
was necessitated, after the manner OF
our ancient enemy, the serpent.
"Now, though deer do have good
sight, they are certainly inferior in
this respect to the roe, and SO long as
you keep perfectly still. will have
great difficulty in detecting you. l
proved this again and again one July
when trying to obtain photographs,
though plenty of experience, but I
was often lying within fifteen yards
of deer without their being conscious
of nv presence."
