TO PRESERVE THE BISON.
Proposed Plan of Placing Remain
ing Buffaloes on Extensive
Ranges.

At the meeting Of persons interest
ed in the preservation of the Ameri-
can bison, Ernest Harold Baynes, who
was elected secretary of the society
which was formed for the purpose,
enumerated the number Of uses to
which bison could be put if their mum.
bers were increased. One of these
was a suggestion that had little OF
the flavor of hitching Pegasus to a
plow. "They could be used as oxen
are used" he declared. He had with
him in support of his assertion a pho
tograph which showed himself riding
behind a pair of harnessed buffalo
calves.
Mr.. Baynes' homes is in Meriden, n,
H., where he has had an opportunity
to become acquainted with the men,
bers of the herd of $50 bison on the
37.00O-acre Corbin estate. This herd
is said to be the best in the country,
and, barring the one owned by West
ern Indians, who possess about $50,
the largest single group of the ami
mails. The tanned buffalo team is only
one of the manifestations of knack
which Mr.. Baynes has for getting in
side the hide of animals and persuad-
ing them to recognize in him friend
and master. He could write book on
wild Animals l Have Known Init
mately," for foxes and other animals
and birds have accepted him on init
mate terms.
The plan for preserving the buffaloes
is to divide them into herds and place
these on widely separated ranges, so
that the appearance Of a contagious
disease would not extinguish the race.
These ranges should be as large as
possible in order to restore to the ami
NAL his native habitat.

MEXIco's RURAL ESTATES.
Princely Incomes Are Enjoyed by
the Landed Proprietors Of
That Country.

The tenacity v ich the great
estates of Mexico are maintained intact
by the old families Of this country APP
pears all the more remarkable when II
Is considered how generally all lines
of industry, aside from that Of the
farmer, are in the hands Of foreigners
The dry goods trade Of Mexico is con-
.trolled by the French; the Spaniards
of Mexico are the country's grocers;
the Germans do the hardware business;
the railroads, aside from government
interests, are controlled by Americans
and English; the bank stock Of Mexico
is largely held in Europe, Whine large
percentage of the industrial concerns
Of the country belongs to foreigners
Not so, however, the agricultural re
sources of Mexico. During recent years
a great deal of American capital has
entered the republic for investment in
tropical plantations, particularly in
southern Mexico but the great bulk Of
Mexico's rural land is held in the form
of extensive haciendas or ranches, oft
en- hundreds Of thousands Of acres in
extent. Some Of these estates have
been handed down in the same families
for nearly 400 years, not q few titles
tracing their origin back to the first
grants from the king of Spain after
the conquest
The aristocracy of Mexico is counted
among these landed proprietors, many
of whom enjoy princely incomes from
their plantations, which often producs
a great variety of products and EN-.
brace several manufacturing plants. II
is largely due to the fact that the ta1
upon land of this character is compare,
lively light and that these estates have
so long remained undivided as, in mosi
instances, only a small percentage o.
their area is under cultivation. AS il
many states the levy is practically only
tax upon products, the unused acres
are no. great burden. Many who have
the country's interest at heart, wani
to see these tracts taxed, so that the
owners will be forced to sell at least 8
portion Of them, and the land of the
country divided among larger mum
Der of small proprietors. Such meas.
ure would be vigorously opposed by the
wealthy landed proprietors, and such
are the number and importance of this
class that no active measure of this
kind has ever been promulgated.

WAS TOO SICK TO KILL.
Indians Would Not Take the Life Of
a Man Who Had Con-
sumption.

A retired colonel of~the United States
army told this story between halves OF
a football game the other day, says the
Washington Post:
after the Fort Kearny fight with
the Indians l was sent out scouting
with my troop, rounding up q band Of
hostiles. The week before we left
consumptive Englishman showed al
the post. He was friend of the col
onel's and he was trying roughing it as
a last chance. He was In bad way
when my orders came he asked tc
go along. He was still strong enough
to ride, and we took him, although
rather against our judgment or course
such a thing wouldn't be allowed now
adays, but that was on the old from
tier, where rules were lax.
1--WE rode for a fortnight and never
found our hostiles. But one rainy
night they found us.
Il remember the Englishman was
huddled over a little covered camp fire
when firing started from all sides; ant
in ten seconds 300 Indians we're riding
over us. They had murdered the out
posts and sprung surprise. We go1
together, formed some kind Of hol
low square and drove them back. We
lost six killed.
when we had time to look abon
for dead and wounded thought of my
English friend. He was nowhere II
sight. l supposed, of course, that ne
had been killed. and / started scouts
to look for his body.
"They found him lying under a bush
The trooper who saw him first rolled
him over and found that he was alive
and unhurt, but crying as though his
heart would break.
What's the matter? said the
trooper.
I'm dead man, said the English
man.
HE wouldn't explain until had a
session alone with him. 1t appears
that he had been sitting by the fire
when a buck on horseback rode VI
over him with his gun raised club
fashion. The Englishman threw VI
his hands and faced the Indian, ready
to die like a man. The Indian caught
a full view of his face in the freight
Ugh!' said the Indian in English
mo use. Dead man, and he lowered
his gun and passed on.
There was no heartening the con-
sumptive after that Two days later
we made settlement and dropped him
off in charge of the keeper Of the stage
station, and in month he was dead.

PROTECTING NEWLY WE'D.
Head Waiter in Hotel Has the Wrong
idea About Preventing
Staring.

A bride and groom had been much
troubled by the stares Of people at
hotels wherever they went. So when
they arrived at the next hotel the
groom called the colored head waiter.
Now, George" he said, I'VE have
been bothered to death by people star
ing at us because we are just married.
We want to be free from that sort of
thing here. Now, here is two dollars
and I trust you not to tell people we
are just married If they ask you. Do
you understand" Eyes, sah!" said
George, II un'stand."
All went we'll that day. But the fol-
lowing morning when the couple came
down to breakfast the staring was
worse than ever. Chambermaids in
the hall snickered, clerks behind the
desk nudged each other, everybody in
the dining-room room stared. When
the couple returned to their room 1t
was only to see head sticking out
Of nearly every room down the long
hall. This was too much. This was
the limit. Angered beyond control,
the groom went to the desk and called
for the head waiter.
Look here, you old fool, didn't l
give you two dollars to protect myself
and wife from this staring business"
said the groom.
Eyes, sab, you did," said George.
Pom my soul 1 didn't tell"
"Then how about this staring?"
asked the irate groom. "Its worse
here than anyhere. Did anyone ask
you If we were married."
Eyes, sah," replied George. Several
folks did"
well, what did you tell them?"
81 tole EN- sah," replied the honest
negro, you wuzn't married at ALL"

EARTH'S DECREASING YIELD
Resources of Nature at the Present
Time Will Eventually Be
Exhausted.

The danger Of exhausting the
earth's resources and the duty owing
to the generations yet to come are
pointed out by Prof. Nathaniel South
gate Shaler in a recent book, Man
and the Earth"
According to Prof. Shaler the use OF
iron four centuries ago was probably
not ten pounds per capita each year;
in the United States it is now over
500 pounds, and in century, unless
the progress is checked, it will be Q
ton, and the use Of other metals grows
in similar scale. The production OF
coal in the same period in Europe and
America has increased from a pound
to two tons per capita. At the present
rate the coal supply will be exhausted
before the twenty-third century.
The case is still more serious as re-
lates to food supplies. Tillage ex.
poses the soil to the destructive action
of rain and the crops take out soluble
minerals more rapidly than they are
restored. In Italy, Greece and Spain
the measure of this damage is dis
tressingly apparent, but it is going or
everywhere except in q few fat regions
like England and Belgium. Even in
the prairie lands of the Mississippi val
ley this impoverishment is already ap'
parent.
On the other hand, the human race
steadily grows, and Prof. ShaleI
agrees with Nautilus so far as to say
that in historic sense the world will
soon be near the food limit. But ne
holds that there will be a decrease in
the birth rate as in France, rather
than an abasement in the mode OF life
so that clearly President Roosevelt is
fighting against the current.
Taking the world over, there is still
room for the doubling of the popula-
ton. How much additional soil. may
be reclaimed from the sea or from
morasses cannot yet be accurately de-
termined. In Europe perhaps ten pei
cent. In the United States drainage
may add 100000 square miles, with
food-giving value four times that OF
Illinois, and irrigation may yield still
further gain. The world over drain
age and irrigation may yet provide
soil to feed the entire present popula-
ton.
In water power North America is
better off than any other continent
Next comes Africa, with the Nile,
Zambesi, the Congo and the Niger.
The eastern face of the Andes also has
great possibilities, and the southern
slope of the Himalayas. The rivers OF
the earth promise to supply more
power than is row derived from all
sources and will be rapidly developed
as coal fails.
Gold and silver are relatively unim-
portant and there seems to be all the
lead that the world is likely to need
for q long time-if wars can be abol'
isned Tin is likely to be substantial
ly exhausted by the end of the century
but zinc. which is more important, Is
also more abundant OF the minor
metals, mercury and platinum give the
most concern. Aside from the metals
sulphur is, perhaps, the most impor'
tant mineral, and the supply from vol
canic and other sources seems ade-
uuate. A continued supply Of nitrates
may be hoped for by drawing upon the
air.

Ancient Libraries.

So far as existing records how, the
Oldest approximation to liB aries was
brought to light by the Assyrian dis
coveries in the form of Babylonish
books inscribed on clay tablets. They
are supposed to have been prepared
for public instruction about $50 B. C..
Pisistratus is said to have founded a
library at Athens about 537 B. C., but
there is no clear evidence to that effect.
According to Strabo, Aristotle was the
first known collector Of library, and
bequeathed it to Theophrastus, B. C.
1922, the library finally going to Rome.
