There are some lakes and ponds down on

such small game. and his little 50 gun does

OF these ponds that am sure one could have

is that it is long way from civilization. and
the heat is great. There is no ice. and game
will not keep longer than twelve hours. so
one has to limit his bag. as there are no towns
or inhabitants near enough to use the game.

TWO NOVEL HOMEMADE TOYS.

One of the easiest things in the
world to make is toy elevator They
can be made as high as a table, so
that toys may be lifted from the floor
to table or only few inches high.
One thing only it is necessary to
secure, and that is pair of smooth
sticks on which the elevator may
slide. These sticks may be purchased
at any hardware store. They are
called bowels, are three feet long, and
are of different thicknesses. One
fourth inch thick is the best size to
use.
The elevator may be any small
wooden box whose bottom is removed.
One may be made of wood half an
inch thick. The right size to make
such a box would be four inches high
and two inches wide Screw flour
screw eyes into the sides through
which the bowels will slide. Double
pointed tacks may be used il screw
eyes are not available.

GAIT BIRDS

There is reason to believe that, up
to point, certain animals have some
slight notion of numbers. Even fishes,
which are not thought to be gifted
with much brain power, are not with
out this sense. Birds have 1t to a
very small degree, for it is doubtful
whether they can go beyond two. II
two men go into a hut in the pres
ence of carrion crow and one man
comes out and goes away, the Cow
will not stir until the other man also
departs. On the other hand, II three
men hide and two retire, the crow
will soon appear, ignorant of the fact
that third man-probably with
guns still concealed. The wood
pigeon is duller. Two men will scare
it away, but should only one OF the
men depart, the bird will speedily re-
sumo feeding.

Surprises in Blowing.

Here is little experiment that will
amuse you Take a piece of wood
thick enough to rest on table in an
upright position. Bore several holes
of different sizes in it. leaving some
of them straight-that Is, of the same
diameter all the way through. Others
you must make of conical shape by
cutting away some of the wood on one
SIDE Now stand the piece Of wood
on table, supported, if necessary,
and suspend before it at little dis
lance on the side of the large end OF
the conical openings piece OF paper.
This may be hung from the chande-
iier, but it must be low enough to be
opposite to the holes in the wood.
If you now blow through the
straight holes toward the paper it will
naturally be blown away from you;
but blow through the small end of the
conical opening and the paper will
remain stationary, or may even be
drawn toward you. Try it. with
