In Manitoba The chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root, it
reiterates a loud, chirpy "Chuck-chuck
chuck" Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some
perch add their Chuck. chuck-chuck,"
to the spring salute. They are active
from this time of the year on, and
their sunny morning chorus is not by
any means confined to that original
outburst. On April 30, 1905, at Cos
Cob, heard a chipmunk in full song.
He kept it up for eleven minutes with
out ceasing, and uttered 100 chirps to
the minute. He got no reply, though
he worked very hard and seemed tired
toward the last. On May %, 1905, at
Cos Cob, l heard a chipmunk singing.
He kept it up for three minutes, utter
ing three chirps to the second.

Phenomenon Is Probably Bed of
Smouldering copperas.
James Livingstone, a rural mail car
rier, reports that smoke is rolling out
of the side Of a bluff just below
Wheeler on the opposite side of the
Missouri river, and that the ground in
the vicinity is so hot hat a tin can set
upon the earth and filled with water
will boil in a short time, and that an
egg can be fried on the ground in two
minutes.
The smoke is rolling from a crevasse
on the side of the hill in great vol
The vapor is Of a light color
and resembles steam more than it does
smoke.
A similar phenomenon was wit
messed on a bluff southwest of Geddes
in 1889. An investigation which was
made at that time developed the fact
that the vapor arose from a bed Of
copperas smouldering beneath the sur
face. 1t is deemed likely that the pres
ent phenomenon has the same origin.

GATHERS DIVORCE DATA.
Federal Statistician Investigates South
Dakota Statistics.

South Dakota divorces, Of world
wide fame, may be the subject of a
special investigation by the United
States government. For several days
past ]. Swinburn Of Washington, con-
nected with the bureau Of statistics,
has been working on the Lawrence
county records, securing statistics on
divorce.
Mr.. Swinburn volunteered the infor-
nation that he has been instructed
to obtain the number of divorces
granted in this county from 1887 to
date, twenty years, as we'll as the
cause named, the time the couple
were married, whether there was ali
mony granted, a contest made and
similar data. Thus far he had found
that up to 1905 there were $40
divorces granted in this county, a re-
markedly low figure.
After obtaining his information
here MI. Swinburn will work the 9TH
er prominent counties of the state
where divorce data will be of service
to the government. Further infor-
nation on his mission Mr.. Swinburn
will not divulge.

it's daily allotment of cream.

strained to call the attention of the
butcher to the fact.

that cat a pound of meat during the

Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs"
The butcher did as requested and
gently deposited the kitten in the bal.

one pound.

animal. there's the pound of meat all
