ELKS IN CIRCLE DANCE

The grand curious amusement or
the elk, one which many hunters
have witnessed, may be called their
circle dance. H. w. Skinner of Chi
cago sends me his observations in
this performance, says Ernest Thomp-
son Seton in Scribner's:
About o'clock one afternoon late
in August, 1890, l was riding north
east up small stream flowing into
one of the tributaries of the Green
river, near it's source in northwestern
Wyoming. The intense heat was only
relieved by an occasional faint breath
of breeze from the north. My atten-
ton was attracted by a column of
fine, dark brown dust rising ahead of
me and on the opposite side of the
creek U was on the south side).
THE column of dust looked almost
as if caused by a whirlwind. On
reaching point as close to it as l
could get without crossing the creek
i was perhaps 100 yards from i'll
found that it was caused by band
of elk numbering from twelve to
twenty, who seemed to be trotting
quite rapidly, with occasionally awk-

Sakhalin is Chinese word mean
ing black, and is the first word in the
Chinese description of the northern
half Of the island, as cliffs or rocks
at the mouth of the black river" The
island has by no means such damp,
foggy and miserable climate as is
generally supposed. A writer says
Not only does the visitor to the is
land in summer experience some of
the finest weather he could wish for,
but the official meteorological records
show the same for past years. In
August and September the days are
often very hot, though at night the
temperature falls to nearly freezing
point; but it is not till October that
the first snow appears on the hill
tops and the winter begins with it's
dry, healthy cold, like that of Canada,
lasting till the following April or May
The island is about 900 miles long
and sixteen to 100 miles wide, CIV
ing an area approximately equal to
that of Greece. A mountainous ridge
runs along the island for the whole
OF its length, fianked by low sand
stone hills to the east and west, but
OF greater extent on the east.

the same writer continues, "the forest
stretches down to the sea, but on
the eastern, as one approaches the
Okhotsk sea, whence comes cold,
piercing winds, the 'taiga" (Siberian
virgin forest) gives place to hills COW
cred with white reindeer moss and
but few trees, or to broad stretches of
tundra near the river mouths. Both
hills and valleys in the interior are,
for the most part, clad with dense
pine forest, three-quarters of the
island being so covered. The flora
shows a strange admixture of polar
and subtropical species, the latter be-
ing more especially in evidence in
the southwest of the island, where
the vegetation and scenery resemble
that of northern Japan.
ITO the north the forests are COM
posed chiefly of larch, pine, birch and
other north temperate or polar spe-
cies, with wild raspberry, bog-myrtle
and other underground. On the
coasts, on the broad stretches of ST.
berian tundra, occur various small
polar plants To the south are maple,
oak, ash, bamboo, cork tree and other
subtropical trees or shrubs. The
fauna shows similar variety"

TALES or THE HONEYMOON

Zone of the strangest vocations, to
my mind" said Union square pub
Usher, according to the New York
Press, sis that of purveyor of honey
moon diaries. A woman has all the
business in this town. She is
former society leader, and, on the
quiet, a sort of money lender. In her
salad days she had many girl friends.
She told her story and how she
worked these friends for a good liv-
ing when her husband died, leaving
her a silver door plate and pile of
unpaid bills.
ut seems that all the girls of
senior class in a certain fashionable
seminary decided to keep honeymoon
diaries, if they ever had the chance
to- The society leader remembered
the oath through the years, and when
poverty came knocking at her door
she laughed at him and went forth to
hunt up the diaries. She gained in
formation little by little. Then she
published her own honeymoon diary
anonymously in gilt and red. 1t had

and themselves circulated them

the vast emDire-as big as Europe.
When Chinese men in their tens of
thousands assembled for their annual

each competitor to take back to his

An experiment proved that they
had hit on a grand discovery. No
matter how great the conclusion and
recoil of the guns, the crossed hairs
forming the sights did not break. Yet
a new problem confronted the young
men, which for a few days promised
to be serious. There was a scarcity
of long hair. The navy was ran
sacked. Any man who had friend
with hair or chin whiskers long
enough for suspenders implored him
to part with it. Whole consignments
would be taken at any price Every
long-haired man available was
plucked of his locks. Next a search
was made for suitable hair growing
On animals. Horse hairs were too

serve. Again genius came to the
rescue. A young lieutenant engaged

Then invitations were sent out ask
ing numerous young women, all beau
tiful and long-haired, to inspect the
ship. The affair was success, but
it was mystery to the girls when
they compared notes after the dance
that evening why so much interest in
their hair had so suddenly grown
unanimous. Every girl confessed
that her hair had not only been ad-
mired, but that she had given a strand
OF it to her sweetheart, who said it
would keep his heart warm and en-
able him to make a bull'e-eye shot

young officers, with patriotism burn

telescopes with the precious hair of

The little gossamers not only did
not break, but the magnetism or

near, gave the young officers inspired

The record of that first trial sur
passed all previous records. Away
out on the misty horizon the little
thing no larger than a speck, but in
reality a great battleship, could be hit
in the vitals ninety-nine times out of

tresses properly adjusted inside the
telescope. Any reader who has ever
