. Market For Prairie Uoas.

a report from South Dakota says
that 1000 prairie dogs at So each have
been contracted for by English lords
who have exterminated the rabbits
and hares on their shooting preserves
in England and are languishing for
sport. Mrs. Nellie Madden of Wau-
kon, Wis, has withdrawn her farm
north Of Huron, s. D.. from the mar
ket, believing its value has enhanced
immeasurably by the demand for
prairie dogs with which it is overrun,
says the Kansas City Journal. 1t is
believed that the English noblemen
have encountered another Yankee game
and that the character Of the prairie
dogs has been nisrepresented to them.
The animals are the size of an over
grown rat live in communities, their
holes connected with outlets every rod
or two. They are spry enough to
arouse the sporting blood of the Brit
ish, but when wounded drop into their
holes or If dead their fellows quickly
drag them in. ss

The seiense Of Chemistry.

Chemistry did not become a science
Lin other words, chemistry proper did
not exist until the seventeenth cen
tury, and 1t was as late as the middle
of the eighteenth century before it be-
gan to amount to much. The old al
scherny undoubtedly contained the
germs, or at least the possibilities, Of
the present day chemistry. but beyond
this the relat ionship between the mod
3ern science and the ancient delusion is
slight indeed. Still, 1t cannot be de-
MED that 1T was In the foolish search
for the Philosop Stone" and the
"Elixir Of Life" that men first hit upon
the discoveries which were destined
to develop into the great science Of to-
day New York American.
