Invented Good Thing.

Prof. w. w. Williams, OF the
Vancouver high school, and well
known in St. Johns, is the inventor
OF an appliance that bids fair to be-
come a great aid in the teaching OF
penmanship, and, incidentally, TO
be a great source of revenue. II

or tube OIL which the arm may rest

received many letters OF inquiry
from Eastern colleges in regard to

OF exalted dignitaries have to perform the

AFRICAN GAME FOR SOUTHWEST
Plan to Bring to America Thirty
Species of Rare Beasts
from the Los Angeles Times.

With the persogaI Endorsement of the
President of the United States and the
hearty approval Of the Los Angeles cham
Der of commerce, one of the most interest
ing moves ever made by public-spirited men
IN the southwest is soon to be started.
1t is for the transplanting OF thirty spe-
cies of African game anIma To our pre-
serves. Congress viii be asked to set apart
portions Of the forest reserves as a per-
petual United States sanctuary. and when
this Is done the importation will imme-
etely commence
Money is not wanting for the complete
contamination of the scheme At present
$4,000 awaits the word OF the projectors
and all or any part of # may be used n
bringing the game to this country and es-
tablishing 1t upon a healthy footing.
Not more than third of the proposed
thirty species will be introduced at the
start other rarer varieties being brought
in later, as fast conditions warrant
For the high mountains Is proposed the
tropical chamois, a beautiful creature,
somewhat different from the Swiss cham
OILS, but better adapted to this climate.
Then will come the bush-bok an African
animal the size of the black-taled deer.
The flesh of this creature is good to eat
and it's hide makes leather of extraordinary
toughness, worth probably five times as
much as ordinary leather. The Beers use
it for the extreme ends, or crackers. Of
their great fifty-foot whips.
For the open plains country the SPRING
box will be bought. There will be different
varieties for different attitudes, and as the
species is very hardy 1t is expected that
there will be no trouble in preserving the
species. This Is the species for which Con-
gress has appropriated the money 20 the
Wichita reserve. and the first experiment
will be tried there. The local promoters,
however. will procure their animals direct
from South Africa, working in conjunction
with Gardner Williams.
The mountain reedbok will be imported
for the foothills. II will stand consider
able amount of heat, and is about the size
of deer.
Another foothin creature Will be the
greater koodoo, a magnificent animal the
size OF the elk. weighing 400 10 800 pounds,
with great spiral horns Yet another Is the
great sable antelope. the size of the koodoo,
black In color, with dainty white markings.
On the desert will go the gemsbok and
also the grantai. The latter is an animal
weighing about 80 pounds, and Is capable
of going great distances from water
In addition, several varieties OF the small
gazelle win be brought over.
