Candle Power.

from the Boston Herald. ,
In the German cities candle power Ia nd
longer a measure. They laugh at it, and
in Berlin the ordinary fishtail burners with
which candle power is measured are as
scarce as hens teeth. For use with tho
mantle, for the stove and the gas engine,
heating power is what Is needed rather
than candle power. In London two Of the
companies are now supplying gas Of less
than fifteen-candle power. while here In
Boston one of the tests made last year
showed as high as twenty four-candle pow.
er, and on the sixty-six tests made the
average figure was 1926. High candle
power gas is not only wasted to burn under
modern methods, but it is actually not %
good for fuel and power purposes as that
with less carbon, for the carbon closes holes
and vents and makes more frequent cleans
ing necessary. The only plants in the
United Kingdom still sticking to high cans
die power are those located near the cam
mel coal fields-the city OF Edinburgh be-
ing an example. Many of the English gas
engineers told our correspondent last sum-
mer that they hoped and believed parlia.

standard in the near future. Such a move
would permit of a reduction in the price
charged for gas and an increased consump.

Where Game Can't Be Sold.


Another blow aimed at the pot-hunter
has been the ''non-sale" law. Such acts
have now been passed by forty-two states
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Mime
sofa, Missouri Kansas, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Michigan prohibit the selling Of
all game. wheresoever shot, If protected by
the state laws. Colorado, New Mexico and
Texas prohibit the sale of protected game
taken in the state Laws which prohibit
the placing on sale of certain kinds of
game have been passed by all Of the other
states except the Virgnias. North Caro-
lima, Tennessee Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana
and Indian Territory.
Thwarting the pot-hunter still further
are the nonresident licenses" now re-

to $50 in Wyoming, the latter figure being

the residents must now pay a fee, ranging
from Is cents to IS, before being allowed
to hunt. A new kind of hunting license
has recently been adopted by several states
to restrict hunting by persons who are not
citizens Of the country. Thus Pennsyl-

vide that all hunters who are unnatural

cataloe hybrids. like the Jacks Of the mule
species, are sterile. as are also the quarter
blood cataloe bulls: but the "eighths' are
fertile, according to Mr.. Jones.
The final Knockout blow to the pot
hunter so far as legislation could put him
down and out was given this year, when
Mississippi passed statute completing a
chair. OF non-export laws which now sur
rounds every state in the Union In other
J words, now that Mississippi has at last
fallen in line every state now prohibits
the export of game of one kind or an.
other outside of the boundaries. Develop
ment OF cold storage and extension or
early seventies allowed an apparently In
exhaustible supply of game to pour into
the eastern markets. So rapidly did this
commerce increase that some OF the west
ern states. devastated by pot-hunters.
sought self-defense in steps to restrict
shipments Of game beyond their borders.
In 1896 a decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States established the right
of the states to do this. Then they con-
time to fall in line one after the other;
but in spite of these non-export laws tna
pot-hunters continued to thrive: Enor-
nous quantities of deer. other big game
and birds were poured into the big cities.
and the states not endowed by nature
with deer forests or natural refugees TOT
other big game. The state authorities
found l., Impossible to detect forbidden
shipments of game to points outside their
borders until Congress came to the res :
cue 10y prohibiting all Interstate COM
merce in big game and certain game
birds shipped in violation of the state
laws. This bill also required the proper
marking of game under heavy penalty
for violation.
Spoilers Examine Packages.
Government spoilers have since
watched the consignments to the express
companies, and many convictions have
been thus secured Fines of 500 or more
have been imposed in nearly half of these
cases. Venison and other game has since
been illegally shipped in greatly dimin-
ished quantities. Concerns employing pot
hunters are now afraid to express their
game and have been driven to adopt other
means of transportation so unsatisfactory
and expensive that the Illicit business in
export game is about on it's last legs. Nom
export laws are now in force also in prac-
tically every province of Canada The re-.
suit Is that in the two countries there re-

the epicureS of some distant city, and with
the result of cheating the true native
sportsman out of the birthright with which
nature endowed him. All of the states and
territories west of the Mississippi. except
Wyoming and Iowa, prohibit the carrying
away across the state line of any game,
and New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Virginia, Mississippi and Tennessee have

Re-Establishing the Bison.
The extent to which the deer. elk, ante
lope mountain goat and mountain sheep
have been ruthlessly slaughtered, as have
the moose and caribou also, can be judged
by this brief summary Of prohibitory laws,
enacted by the states wherein these ami
mails once roamed in thousands. The game
preserve would seem to offer some pros
pect Of their reganing their foothold. What
has been thus accomplished with the bison
offers this CLEAN Of hope That noble ami
NAL was practically extinct twenty years
ago. A herd Of Geo remaining in the No
Mans Land strip was soon killed out,
through the Indifference of Congress. The
300 surviving in the Yellowstone Park were
almost. exterminated by poachers. A larger
herd survived in Canada, but it has been
sadly reduced In numbers by the wolves,
and today 1t is reported that calf tracks
are no longer seen by those who occasion
ally come upon the trail of the herd. The
wolves attack the calves only. and If they
succeed in thus killing them off from year
to year the herd Is, Of course doomed. To-
day the only herds, outside of the govern
ment preserves, which remain intact are

A vast game preserve of more than a
half million acres has been lately provided
by Wyoming, which thus takes the lead
among the states in the movement to pre-
serve our native game. A number of other
states have game preserves, but none have
gone this far. This year the Canadian
government has set aside game preserve

The Greedy Poacher.
The collection of valuable big game in
preserves, such as those of our national
parks or forest reserves naturally attracts
the greedy poacher, for whom Uncle Sam 9
game wardens and forest rangers are for
ever on the lookout These skilled and ex-
perienced vandals, who live in the vicin-

elements. The best specimens of elk, deer
or other big game raised by the care of
Uncle Sam are too often selected by these
despoilers. The typical poacher of this
stripe when put at bay is as desperate a
character as he is a dead shot. and a lone
warden, ranger or soldier, If cautious
would hesitate to challenge a group of
such offenders.

In Oklahoma $1,000 acres has been set aside
as the Wichita game preserve, wherein deer,
elk, antelope and bison, also many game
birds. will be protected from the ruthless
exterminator. For the erection Of q buff
falo Enclosure here $4,000 is to be imme-
diately expended. The Bronx Geological
Association of New York have promised
the goyernment some eighteen or twenty
bison for this preserve. A herd of the
small San Joaquin valley elk has been es-
tablished in preserve within the Sequoia
National Park. California. Lately It was
discovered that of this once abundant
native species. which up to some years ago
ranged over the southern San Joaquin val
ley, less than $50 individuals were left by
the game vandals. An attempt to capture
these by driving them into a corral was
made last fall. but only twenty were safely
caught and placed in the preserve.
The Yellowstone National Park Is our
greatest federal preserve. 1t now contains
1900 antelope, 100 mountain sheep, about
100 bison and numerous deer, elk, black
bears, beaver and smaller game. For
new bison refuge In the park Congress ap-
prepriated $4,000 and the necessary in.
closures have now been built. A herd of
twenty-one of these animals purchased
few years ago for this Enclosure has al
ready increased to ffty-six, and beside
these there are some forty or more wild
bison ranging in the park at will. There
are more elk than any other species of big
game In the great preserve. Formerly the
greater number OF these animals left the
park In winter to feed In the lower ranges
of neighboring states. but now they are
fed in the preserve during the cold months
and are becoming remarkably tame. In
fact several different species venture close
TO the buildings of the park and even upon
the parade ground of Fort Yellowstone.
