LAPP WOLF HUNTERS.
Swift Runners on Snowshoes Make

Swift Runners on SnOwshoes Make
Short Work of the Brutes.
The Swedish Lapps live entirely
with, by and upon their reindeer. A
Lapp who owns thousand deer is a
very rich man; but, as taxes are as
sessed upon the number of deer, he is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy to the herd
is tie wo,f. who, if so disposed ban
Kill thirty deer in a night A band of
wolves can make a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow is deep and soft and
it is announced that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
deer the swiftest runners on snow
shoes prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of mile
or two, but the track it leaves in the
deep, soft snow is so prominent that
the hunters can follow it at their best
speed. Il ss,ses =
The wolf, though he may run fast,
has but slight chance of escaping the
short men who on snowshoes rush
through the wood, dart down steep
hills and jump from lodges several
yards in height Each hunter does his
best to outrun the others, for the wolf
belongs to the Lapp who strikes the
first blow. AS soon as the leading
hunter is close enough to the wolf he
gives it a heavy blow across the leins
with his strong spiked snowshoe staff
| If there are other wolves to be pur-
sued. he kills it outright; if not, he
disables it and waits till all the hunt
ers arrive before giving the death

Marine Plant That Grows q Stem

Three Hundred Feet Long.
The largest marine plant and proba-
bly, one of the highest plants known on
this globe is a gigantic seaweed, the
nereocystis, the stem Of which has
been found to grow as much as 300
feet long. 1t was first discovered not
far from the Alaskan coast, but has
since been found floating in various
parts Of the Pacific ocean along the
American and Asiatic shores. This
seaweed grows in a very curious man.
ner. Large quantities of it are found
at little distance from shore and at
depths not exceeding 800 feet On
ioamy bottoms large thickets of this
plant take root and a stem OF the
thickness of ordinary cord grows up
ward. AT its top there is pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stem,
and when it reaches the surface of the
water it often measures six feet and
more in length, with a diameter of four
feet six inches. This balloon has, Of
course, an upward tendency and keeps
the stem growing until it floats on the
surface of the water. From the top of
this balloon d large tuft of strong,
thick, spadelile leaves grow out, which
originally are not more than two feet
long and which grow and split until
from the balloon d roselike growth of
from fifty to siXty-fiye feet in diane
ter covers the water. This gigantic
weed grows in such quantities that
near the shore large meadowlike is
lands are formed. which impede navi-

islands make manifold usage of this
| plant From their strong dried stems
| they make ropes 250 feet and more
| long, while balloons of this weed fur
| nish them with large vessels after they
are dried, the smaller ones being used
in their boats to bail out water. The
long leaves, after being dried, are cut
into narrow strips and used for wicker
work, the making of baskets and SINH
lar furniture.

The Gibson supplement in The Times
today is a good illustration OF side
of the artists work which has had not
a little to do with his great popularity
1t shows him drawing an idea.
II is a picture that sets one thinking.
Any man can draw face or figure,
but it takes an artist TO synthetic a
social problem in q few lines.
The Weaker Sex il is called. -Four
charming young women are about a
table upon which is perch-1 man, his
form no bigger than that o. fly. They
look at him through a masuifying glass,
and one, with her hatpin. is about to
spike him as she would a moth.
Is not this a clever satire on modern
American life7 1t makes man ask
himself the question; Which is tae
weaker sex? 1t raises the whole prob
lem OF woman's rights, woTan's sphere,
woman's influence, in a way that is
more thought compelling than all the
essays of the economists.
The modern American woman is no
shrinking flower to be picked and worn
by the man who fancies her. She has
won such an exalted position for herself
that men are her slaves and she can
have almost any one of them she may
select Socially the wife or the daugh-
ter is the head of the house-at any
rate among the Weather classes-and
mere man is an insignificant creature.
This is what Gibson suggests TO US in
this picture.
Look at the expressions upon the
faces Of the girls; there is no tender
ness, no coquetry, merely critical in
terest- She of the hatpin wears the
look of the surgeon welding his
scaIpeI over a cadaver fOr the benefit
of a class in anatomy. An1 it is worth
the art students while - study the
few lines that make up this face, for
so he may learn how expression is
produced. This is a thing that cannot
be taught; 1t is not matter suscepti-
BILE of description, but each for him
self can by examining the works of
many artists learn how such effects
are attained-and such effects are the
highest form of art.
This is a pretty face. fragile in it's
grace, with a tip-tilted nose, a mouth
that is very kissable ari eyes that
were the lids suddenly 10 be lifted,
would fash d merry glance with tears
and smiles equally near the surface.
