MICHIGAN LEADS IN DEER.
Several Eastern States Have Sur
prI,ingIy Large Supply.

Several Eastern States Have "a Sur
prI.ingIy Large supply.
According to reports received by the
Agricultural Department, about $1,000
deer were killed or captured in Mich
igan last year, says the Kansas City
Star. Pennsylvania Is not usually
counted among the big game States,
yet nearly 700 deer were killed in the
mountains there in the same period.
L. S. Palmer, of the Agricultural De
partment has embodied the reports from
the game wardens Of the various States
in which there is big game in an article
printed in the Agricultural Depart
ment Year Book.
Michigan led in the number Of deer
killed or captured. In Minnesota, Wis
consin and Texas deer were reported
plentiful. In the Adirondack noun
tains In New York about 200 deer were
killed. Hundreds Of deer were killed
or captured in Wyoming, Vermont and
Maine In Wyoming more than 600
elk and 200 antelope were killed.
An invasion of Wyoming by Indians
resulted in serious consequences to the
game. Two bands of Utes, each about
500 In number, entered the State the
latter part Of July and the first week
In August and penetrated northward in
Converse, Weston and Cook counties.
The Indians stripped the country of
game wherever they travelled They
killed hundreds of sage hens and many
antelope and deer The game wardens
and State authorities were powerleSs
to prevent these depredations, and it
was only by the aid of federal troops
that the Indians were finally returned
to their reservations.
The demand for elk teeth was re-
sponsible, as in former years. for the
killing of many elk. In Washington a
few Indians from the Qufnalt reserya-
ton were engaged in killing elk for
tuSks in the Olympic mountains. but
through the efforts of the Indian agent
the practice was promptly stopped. Nov.
20 a carload Of trophies, composed of
heads skins, scalps and horns of MANY
elk killed in Wyoming and on the bor-
der of the Yellowstone national park
and shipped from Idaho to taxider-
mist in Los Angeles, We're seized in the
latter city. Two of the shippers were
arrested while unloading the ear. At
the preliminary hearing it was shown
that they belonged to four teeth hunt
ers who had been operating in Western
Wyoming, north of Jackson Hole and
along the southern border of the park.
The teeth are used largely for watch
fobs for member of the order of Elks.

which 1t is to be used and the charac-
ter of the music to be played, are ord-
narily as follows: Thickness, 1854 OF
an inch; length, q of an inch; width.
o-l6 of an inch. or slightly less. The
hypOthenrse of the prop is curved to
tit smoothly on the bridge Of the VIC
lin, and notch for the G string is also
made. To erect the device on the violin
IS an easy matter, it being only neces-
sary to turn down the G string about
a tone, to insert the prop underneath
and then to tune up the string with
care. In effect it becomes a component
part Of the bridge itself, but It can al
ways be easily removed
This method of elevating the G. lust
enough to be sounded simultaneously
with the D and A strings takes away
the mechanical obstacle that Ole Bull
managed to overcome by means of a fiat
bridge and his remarkable tours de
force, but which no other violinist has
attempted to cope with.
That this method of playing is en-
drely novel is evidenced by the fact
that all works on orchestration have
stated that sustained chords on the VIC
lin are restricted to two notes and that
three and four voiced chords must be
played as arpeggios. But a new and
beautiful effect is now placed at the
command of the violinist, although it is
trua that there are few rnmnoSitious i'm
which use has been made of the posi-
bilities of writing beautiful chords on
the three lower strings of the violin
De BeriOt has a notable passage in his
fifth concerto. But it remains chiefly
for future composers of music for the
violin to enlarge the present excellent
repertory Of the violin with compost
tons containing violin harmony.
The inventor has refrained from pat
enting his device in order to make it
more obtainable by violinists.

The pawnshop of Norris Feingold. at

She heard u noise in the storeroom and

King Edward summoned him home to

promise to marry, and the captain must

The Name of Norway's King.

AS to the uncertainty of the spell
ing Of the King of Norway's name, a
Norwegian authority writes: ''The
genuine form of the name is HakOn.
Such variations as Hakun, Hakdnn,
Hakvin, Latin Haguinus, 1 leave out Of
consideration. The name is made up
Of two elements-ha, the root Of har,
high; and kon, for konr (like son, for
sonr). The older form of kOnr was
kunr, he Of the llyn (kuni), Of the
family, the noble race. According to
the Elder Edda poem, Rigsmal
konr was the youngest son Of Jarl
(EarD, who himself was the son of the
god Heimdall (Illuminator mundr) &.
Konr ungr, the young kon, swung him
self, by deeds of arms into the posi-
ton Of a konungr, king, which, though
the old poet knew it not, simply meant
the kon-ing, he of the kin'-ungr be
ing a suffix indicative of descent.
Accordingly, the name Hakon meant
originally the high one of the kim and
must have been a title for a prince,
a king, before it assumed the exclusive
character of a proper personal name.
The old Norwegian pronunciation of
the "a in ha seems to have come close
to the sound of the English 'ow' in
know; but in the course of time 1t has
broadened into g sound as nearly as
possible identical with the English 'aw'
in hawk. The 20 in kon is very near
ly equal to the English % in on. The
accent falls on the first syllable In
modern Norwegian the spelling OF the
name Is Haakon Caa' equals 'awD."

Crash in Fog.
All those killed or injured were pas

due in the Camden station ut S:Sl, the
Atlantic City express having precedence.
The fog was SO thick that the engineers
of the two trains were running eau

Atlantic City train was signaled to stop.
Jam Brakes in Vain.
The engineer of the Pemberton train
failed to see the Atlantic City train in

damned mis- brakes down hard when il
doomed up through the fog. The sud
den jolt forced the tender of the Pember-

badly and either killing or injuriug
everybody in the coach. The train, how
ever, did not come to a full stop, but slid
into the rear of the Atlantic City ex-

telescope the first car. The force of the
collision was slight and no one was in
jured on the forward train.

NEW ELECTRIC LAMP.
Bulb Which 1t Contains Said to

Bulb Which 1t Contains Said to
Burn $500 Hours.
Consul E. T. Liefeld forwards from
Freiburg an abstract from a Paris
newspaper concerning a new electric
lamp which it is said will revolution
ize the present system Of lighting. The
article was wired from Vienna and
reads:
can Austrian chemist, DR.. Hans
Kuzel, has, after many years hard
work, succeeded in constructing a new
electric lamp which he calls the Syrius
lamp. AS is well known, incandescent
gaslight is cheaper than electric light.
because the filament wires of the light
are very expensive and the glass bulbs
soon wear out, DR.. KuzeI has now in
vented a new substitute for the glow
thread by forming out of common and
cheap metals and metalloids cOllOids
in plastic mass which can be handled
like clay and which when dry be-
comes hard as stone Out of this mass
very thin wire threads are then sharp
ened, which are Of uniform thickness
and Of great homOgeneity. These two
characteristics are Of great value in
the technics of incandescent lamps.
The KuZel or Syrius lamp hardly
needs One-Quarter of the electric cur
rent which the ordinary electric lamp
with flament wire requires Expert
ments, it is asserted. have shown that
the lamp can burn for $500 hours at
stretch. Another advantage is that
tie intensity of the light of the new
lamp always remains the same, the
lamp bulbs never become deadened, as
is now the case. The new lamp, it is
said, will be put on the market soon.
