THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to TabuIate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then. some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind Of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but 1t must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species. and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues

known In 1880 were only $40 in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-

Curious westmoreland Custom.

A strange custom Is observed year
ly in the small hamlet OF Week, In
Westmoreland. in commemoration OF
an incident that happened in the year
IS41.
That year there was a plague Of
wasps and many persons throughout
the county succumbed to the poison
our sting. The little hamlet holds
the record for its number OF victims,
and In memory of the occurrence a
memorial tablet was erected on the
moor there, Now each year there
Is q procession, Most of the In
-habitants turn out, carrying insect
powder and other devices for killing
wasps, and march to the memorial
stone, where q short service Is held
by the minister of the parish.
When the service is over gen.
erai crusade is made In search Of
wasps' nests, which are Immediately
destroyed. Some carry guns, some
rags saturated with turpentine. while
others carry parafiin. which Is poured
into the nest and q match applied.
The anniversary is considered the
most important event Of the year,

Excellent progress in the process of
converting the crop into marketable COM
modify has been made. The days have
been fairly warm considering the sea-
son of the year and while the amount OF
sunshine per day is less than in an ordl-
nary harvest the grain has matured well.
The reports from far and near show that
the aggregate yield for the whole grain

and there are those who assert that tho
quantity will be equal to about IS per
cent Of that secured last season The
quality Will be the important cousidera-
ton especially In view of the steadily r1s-
ing markets. Cash wheat In Winnipeg
closed yesterday at $1.11h per bushel,
Fort William delivery. The cost OF freight
and handling for wheat strikes an aver
age of lie per bushel for the whole west.
This means that the average price to the
farmer for contract wheat all over tine
prairie country Is exactly 81 per bushel.
The farmers have been looking for the
day when dollar wheat would rule and
they have 1t now. Some old wheat is still
coming forward from the elevators and 9
little of last years crop remains In the
hands Of the farmers. This nearly all
grades UP to the contract. and 1t means
a great gain for those who held 1t. The
new wheat Is still grading very high,
when one considers the conditions under
which 1t was produced. Out of 459 cars.

would answer for delivery on contracts.
In other words over 100000 bushels OF

average of about 81 per bushel, reached
Winnipeg in two days. The significance

Of an admittedly unfavorable season
should. not be allowed to sink out of
sight at time when returns from agri-
cultural activity In the west are being
anxiously awaited. These figures do not
take account of the lower grades, of
which there were 13l cars More than one
third OF these contained milling wheat,
which would remunerate the farmer at
the. rate Of s3c per bushel on the basis
OF to-day's closing figures. The balance
consisted of low grade stun which would
show great "spreads' in prices.
''The approximate value of the two
days receipts of wheat, however would
be more than $500. 900 calculating the ca
pacity OF car at 1000 bushels and elm
mating the cost OF freight and handling
Az many Of the modern cars contain
more than 1000 bushels and as the freight
rate to Fort William is less than 15c
per cwt. on most of the wheat which is
now coming forward. the estimate of
s400. 900 is low. The circulation of $780,
900 per day among the farmers will not
continue for the whole year. OF course,
but that figure is likely to be exceeded
before the present rush of wheat to the
market abates. The conversion of the
crop into money may be said to be pro-
ceeding In q most satisfactory way and
there In no doubt that millions OF dollars
will have gone into the pockets of the
farmers by the time navigation on the
lakes closes. Even then only q small
proportion OF the wheat will have come
out. Experience has shown that the rail-
ways do not carry very much of the
wheat to the Lake Superior ports before
the freeze-up comes. and the proper
ton will probably be smaller than usual
this yedf on account of the lateness of
the thrashing season.
ION the whole the prospect Is most
cheerful one. the likelihood being that
the satisfactory returns for the past few
days wili be greatly exceeded in the COM
fng ak or seven weeks The fact that
wheat Of any kind Is bound to bring re-
munerative price this season is the COM
forting feature Of the situation and there
IL no occasion for. concern over the pos
sibiiity of the general quality OF the
grain being below that Of previous years.
The high standard of the wheat raised
In the west In l9O5-1S06 was undoubtedly
a great advertisement for the country

tanneries of America is now 100000
alligator hides annually, worth at the
tanneries $45O,O0O. The streams and
bayous of the south no longer supply
the bulk of these hides. Fifty per
cent of them come from Mexico, Gen.
trial America, and South America.
Florida, however, still supplies %
per cent and Louisiana 20 per cent
But alligators have grown so scarce
in Florida, the Georgia sounds and the
Gulf States that it will soon be i'm
possible to obtain the hides at price
that will warrant their employment
in the manufacture of leather.
1t is a pity, for though the alligator
is not beautiful creature himself he
makes beautiful leather, and he is
most surprising and interesting beast
in his native lair. and really harmless.
1t is matter of superstition and ira.
dition that he will seize and devour
negro children but scorns white. AS
matter of fact, instances in which
he attacked human beings of any age
or color are of doubtful authenticity.
The slaughter of the giant lizard
has ben awful. Although the creature
breeds most prolifically, the female
laying as many as from 100 to 200
eggs ina season, the species is not we'll
nigh exterminated in this country. 1t
is estimated that 100000 alligators
were killed in Florida alone in the
years between 1890 and 1900, large
proportion of them for mere sport"
Yet 1t is as easy to incubate the eggs
in warm sand Their is no reason why
alligators should not be extensively
propagated as matter of business
