Wolf Hunters Profits.
tFrom the St. Paul Dispatch.)

L. D. Tainter brought to Ladysmith,
Wis, six wolves and five wildcats, for
which he received $150-s20 each for
the wolves and Sc each for the Wild
cats. Mr. Tainter is the only man in
this County who has succeeded in trap
ping many of the larger or timber
wolves. His methods he keeps to him.
self. The increase in the bounty made
by the last Legislature has stimulated
the destruction of wolves and wildcats.
1t is believed that the killing off of the
wolves will save many deer.
Marion Smith, a farmer living near
Sisseton, S. D., is the champion wolf
hunter of that part of the State In ad+
dition to the sport he also finds wolf
killing quite profitable. This Is Illus
trated by recent experience of his.
While out with his rife in the vicinity
of Cottonwood Lake he was fortunate
to run upon five wolves, one female and
four males, which he succeeded In
shooting and killing. The bounty on
female wolves is SIS and on males SO;
therefore, Mr.. Smith cleared sos from
his days hunt. Aside from this, the
pelts of the wolves are worth IS or Sc.

Dead Colonel's Rank Restored.

Ebenezer Gould went out from Owos-
so, Mich. in 1861, as Lieutenant-C Colo
mel Of the 5th Mich. Cav, of which R
A. Alger was Colonel. Alger was pro-
NOTED to Brigadier-General,a and Sept
21, 1864, Lieut.-COl Gould was COM
missioned Colonel. but owing to the
sad depletion of the ranks of the regi-
ment, could not be mustered as SUCH
and was discharged two months later
as a Lieutenant-COlonel. He felt bit
terly the injustice of not being allowed
his full rank, and died in 1878. His
two daughters sympathized with their
fathers feelings, and have been urging
the War Department to adjust the mat
ter by paying the difference between a
Lieutenant-ColonePs and a Coloneps
pay in recognition. They did not want
the money, but they wanted the War
Department to officially recognize their
father as Colonel. and this has been
done at last by the Department direct
ing that there be paid to Col. Gould's
heirs the difference to which he was
entitled.

A Veteran Blue Jacket.

George w. Durgin, who is living in
good health at Lisbon, Me-, and per-
forming his daily work on his snug lit
tie farm, has a most exceptional record.
He was born in Saco, Aug. 26, 1917,
and began life as a common sailor. His
first service for the United States was
in 1899, when he was one of the crew
of the schooner Flirt, employed in fight
ing the Seminoles. He liked this SER
vice so we'll that he stayed in 1t after
the rest of his comrades returned, and
was on the schooner Wave. The YES
sci buried three crews in Florida, and
out of the so men with whom he had
enlisted only eight lived thru He next
entered the Regular Navy, and was on
the F'rigate Macedonian, which was on
duty off the coast of Africa in suppress
ing the slave trade. He was one of a
party under Commodore Perry, who
went ashore to punish tribe of canni-
balls which had captured and eaten the
crew of a Baltimore schooner. In 1876
he gave up seafaring, returned home,
married a widow and became the faith
er of several children. He re-enlisted
in the Navy at the outbreak of the war;
and was Captain of the Forecastle of
the Frigate Mississippi in the passage
of the forts below New Orleans. After
his discharge from the Navy he enlist
ed in the 4th, Mass. H. A, and did duty
around Washington. He says that he is
good for 20 years yet, and intends to
spend his Tooth birthday in Boston.

A Curious Rebel Love Letter.

From Comrade Paul Schneider,
5th U. S. Art, Memphis. Tenn, we have
received the following letter, taken
from the Memphis Argus of 1864,
which he wishes US to publish for the
benefit of the comrades:

cusses will let me alone 1 will write
you a letter. Gen. U. S. Grant is bull
dog, and Meade is match for the devil.
ourselves in the woods, the Yankees
are sure to find us out. They charge
our works again and again, and very
often take them from us. They fight
more fiercely than anything I ever saw.
AS for digging, Grant beats Mcclellan
all hollow. The Yankees build strong
rif1e-pits. and then our brave officers
ask us to charge them. We have done
so and they have given US hell every
time. My sainted love, you will excuse
me for using this language, but if you
were with us you would say they gave
us hell, too.
"My patriotic fair one, I am almost
tired of this! So long as there ap-
peared chance of our achieving our
National independence, I fought with
will; but that hope seems dashed to
the earth. I have no heart to strive
any longer to keep jeff Davis from
going to the devil sooner than he other
wise would.
DO not blush. my sainted love, but
really I wish I were out of this army
wedlock.
'I must close hurriedly. We are or.
dered to charge the Yankees, and, If
possible, surprise them.

ruRERcuLos1s IN MILK.

Science has it's battles as bitter and
waged with as much pertinacity as
those by soldiers. There has been go
ing on for years in Germany an acri-
monious dispute between the eminent
Prof. Robert Koch, of Berlin, and other
scientists. u developed IN 1900 upon
Prof. Koch asserting that bovine and
human tuberculosis were quite distinct
diseases. and, therefore. tuberculosis
was not communicable by man to ami,
mails or animals to men. This asser-
tion met with the distinct approval of
the agricultural, butchering and dairy
interests, which have been seriously
affected by the declaration that tuber.
culosis was readily communicated by
meat and milk. Now, we have another
turn Of the cards and the Royal Com
mission on tuberculosis has issued a
long report IN which 1t sets forth very
positively that cows milk Infected with
tuberculosis germs Is responsible for a
large proportion Of the cases Of con-
sumption. 1t supports its conclusions
by the results of long list OF exhaust
i've experiments and researches, and de-
clarss that Prof. Koch's theory was
based upon insufficient and misinter-
preted observations.

ending with 1905. the death rate for
both sexes showed an increase of eight
per cent, which was about half as great
as the increase for the five years end
ing with 1890. The deaths in 1904 were
TAI per 100000 among males Of all
ages. and 1,008 among females. In
nearly all comparable cases the rate Is
greater among females. A remarkable
exception is cancer of the mouth, for in
the four years ending with 1904 this
caused the death Of 7.246 males and
only 1867 females. Whether this is an

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.
Work of the Worlds Busy Brains in Discovering lnvenng and
Creating.
A NEW METAL.

Interest is rapidly rising in the new
metal, tantalum, which seems to prom
Use a world of possibilities to electrl-
clans, machinists. naval architects and
others. 1t is being successfully used as
the filament for electric lamps, Ioi
which purpose it serves much better
than carbon. 1t is hoped that it can be
made to take the place of platinum for
many purposes. The supply of plati-
mum in the world is exceedingly limited,
and no new sources are being discov-
cred, so that the price has now reached
s35 an ounce, which is approximating
very dangerously to double that oi sold
It has gone up in the most astonishing
way in the last few years, owing to the
great advances made in electricity. A
few years ago platinum sold at about
the same price as gold, or even dollar
or so an ounce less. Tantalum is much
like iron in some ways, especially in its
ductility. 1t is heavier than iron, but
can be worked quite as readily. Its
leading characteristic is its extreme
hardness. This makes many believe
that it will take the place of diamonds
for use in drills. 1t is also thought of
as a point for armor- piercing shells,
and many are sanguine that tantalum-
pointed shell will penetrate any armor
now carried by vessels of war. On the
other hand, metallurgists are consider
ing it for making armor more resistant.
Experiments at the Krupp Works, in
Essen, seem to indicate that an alloy
of steel with tantalum will increase the
hardness % per cent. At present the
price of tantalum is quite high, owing
to the limited quantities upon the mar
ket, but this is bringing about quite an
active investigation as to sources of
supply. It may be that great quantities
of it will be discovered. 1t is now
found in connection with such rare
minerals as columbite and yttro-tanta-
lum and usually occurs in granite and
felspath in the form of crystalline gran
ules. The present supply is mostly
brought from Finland, Bavaria, Italy
and western South America. Consider
able quantities have been found in the
Allegheny Mountains and in Colorado
and the Black Hills. There it is COM
bined with manganese, making what is
called mangano-tantalite.

The additions on the northwest along

1874, 900 acres. The area includes
body of excellent yellow pine which
was rapidly passing into the hands of
timber companies thru the operation of
the Timber and Stone act. This pine is
very important, on account of it's being
the only accessible timber for large
and important district in western Col

nearby settlements is to continue, this
timber must be logged conservatively,
and protected from fire.

The boundaries of the Park Range
National Forest, as they were originally
proclaimed, excluded large bodies of
timberland and woodland. Lands
amounting to approximately 43S.000
acres have been recently added. The
local interests dependent upon the
mountain lands for timber and range
are strongly in favor of this addition,
since it will protect their water supply,

timber, and the protection of their

The recent addition of 544s, ,2eo acres

and which has been withdrawn from
settlement since 1903, when the district

timbered region, and certain portions
of the SiSkiyou contain splendid stands
of pine, fir, hemleck and Port Oxford
cedar Considerable areas, however, lie
within old burns and contain only
young timber. Some of these latter
areas have great prospective value.
Less than two per cent, of this National
forest consists of agricultural land, for
the lines were drawn with view to

There was considerable opposition to

Stains for Oak.

There are many ways in which oak
may be stained, and any of the follow
ing will give fine results:
I. Apply ammonia with a sponge or
brush. When dry give it a coat of tur-
pentine, then fill with varnish. Or you
may omit the filler and give a coat of
shellac, then wax and rub to a polish;
or simply shellac it, or omit the shellac
and use wax only, according to the style
of finish desired.
II. Use bichromate of potash dis
solved in hot water instead of ammo
mia, as given in No. I, and you will get
still richer effect
III. Apply coat Of freshly slaked
lime; let this dry on; then brush off
clean and apply a coat Of boiled oil.
". A strong solution of sal soda will
darken oak, but it will be necessary to
apply two coats. Sandpaper lightly,
then finish with oil rubbing.
