WILD BOAR.

The Wild Boar, in common with
other swine, has small bone in his
snout. The tusks of the male are
largely developed, and are terrible
weapons of offence, boar being able
to rip up dog or d mans leg with
a single blow of his tusks. When
striking with these weapons the
Boar seems TO put forth little effort

STUDY
The MARKET
Naval Stores Operators Are
Advised to Make a Close
Study of It.

The Jacksonville Industrial Record,
of recent date, contained the follow
ing, which will be read with interest
by those interested in the advance of
the naval stores market:
The lesson of the past few years
appears to have been well impressed
upon naval stores operators through
out the naval stores belt
The best indication of this is found
in the general feeling OF suspicion
which has marked the effort to account
for the sudden and sensational rise
in the price of spirits within the past
few days.
Operators have studied the situa-
ton since the downward trend of
prices began. 1t is during periods of
adversely that the greatest care is al

fronted the producers.
Now that there has been a marked
advance the operator. should stop and
think a burned child breads the fire.
The operators fingers have been
scorched in the past and they are now
inclined to keep as far away from the
flame as can be.
There are many reasons being as
signed for the sudden advance in the
price of turpentine. Taking all condi-
tons into consideration, it is plain to
see that it is only following the adopt
ed policy of maniDu alton by the eX-
port company which has had and
which has exercised a monopolistic
claim on the trade from the start of
the producing season up to now.
Readers of the Record will bear in
mind that a few weeks ago this paper
inaueurated a strenuous fight for the
generator as against the combination
which was beating down the price of
spirits at viii. Now that an advance
has occurred operators are inclined tn
take a more optimistic view of the
situation. But there should be care

SPRING-BOK.

The Spring-Bok gets it's name from
the big leaps II employs when
alarmed. As soon as it is frightened
it leaps seven or Ell feet into the
air with a curiously easy movement.
1t has been known on occasions to
leap TO a height OF twelve or thirteen
feet. When leaping, the back is
greatly curved.
