and ingenious sounds In unison with every
action of the scene. The spectator sees
actual life itself-life of worldwide travel

Spanish sheepskins.

- ARcBLoNA is an important market

nee OF Catalonia. Not only are they

more carefully nayed and stocked thah

i,y ana are, generally speaking, larger
tnah the others. Next In order OF merit
aiter the Catalonian sheepskins may pc
elassed those collected In the district OF
La Mancha, in New CASTLE, and lastly
those shipped from Murcia, which are
hayed.
Owing to the political situation in Rus
sra which, along with Spain and italy
supplies very large quantities of sheep
skins, exports from that country nave
been greatly interfered with, and foreign
buyers have turned their attention more
to Spain than they have hitherto, with the
natural result that prices have been forced
up. German dealers have recently been
through Spain buying up all available sup
plies.
Barcelona alone produces from 100000 to
5OOO00 skins annually. Dealers and eN-
porters purchase the skins from the meat
contractors, the contracts being made
either for whole year or only six months,
IN which latter case the skins command
higher price II the purchase be made for
six months with the wool on.
The annual contracts are now being
made for 1905, the following being the
prices that 1t is thought will be realized -

built among the powders and consists of a
few straws Of dried grass and pine needles
loosely thrown together. Here the bird
lays nine deep brown eggs. which are

When the bird IL of the nest 1t would take
an expert to locate the eggs, for they are
SO nearly the color Of the surroundings.
When she Is on the nest Il IL still more
difficult to find her, for she will remain
quietly sitting there tn one almost steps
upon her. 1t Is no wonder that there are
few collections of her eggs in museums.
The sportsman In question was hunting
In the rough foothills Of the Rocky Noun
tains, where the country is cut UP with
canyons and deep gorges, down which the
spring floods carry great powders and pile
them up at the foot. As he was walking
along a ptarmigan rose from her nest, Just
beneath his feet, and sailed away, vainly
trying to attract his attention from her
eggs. Even though he knew that the nest
was beneath his feet, 1t took him several
moments to distinguish II. II was In de-
preston between the powders, and so har-
monized with the color of the rocks that 1t
was almost invisible. stepping back a
short distance, he awaited the return OF
the bird. Within few minutes she came
back and settled down on the nest In PLAIN
sight. The sportsman fixed the location
Of the nest in his mind, but failed to mark
the spot in any other way. The next day
he returned, with friend and camera, but
the nest could not be found. though he
knew that they were near it, After beat
ing the ground for several acres In extent
they were about to return In despair when
the bird flew up NOT five feet from them,
and from a place which had Just been

reasons. First the extent Of our ter
rltory. and second, advance in this direc-
ton being unnecessary because OF our
rapid transit. But in the growing OF roses
volets, carnations and certain vegetables
we are ahead OF any other country In the
world.
This industry has made rapid strides dur
ug the last thirty years, due 10 the IN
crease In wealth and population and the
demand for greater variety In fruits ana
vegetables. AS the demand increased spe-
cialzation became necessary, and horu-
culturlsts no longer exist who grow various
kinds Of plants in large quantities. Ihey
are divided into three classes. the growing
of cut flowers. ornamental plants ana Vsse-
tables.

Before this impetus to flower culture
came violets were raised almost entirely
under outdoor frames of cheap construc-
ton. But as the demand Increased these
became Irnpracticable and were supplanted
by cheap greenhouses. There are about
Ave hundred thousand square feet OF glass
devoted TO the culture of this flower in the
vicinity of Poughkeepsle and Rhinebeek
alone.
The value of the crop of vegetables Is
much less than that Of flowers but still

voted to this industry. Under favorable
conditions this will bring to the owner an
