WOLVES FEAR IRON,
a Piece of the Metal Will Keep the
Animals From Any Carcass.

Animals From Any Carcass.
In the early days wolves were com.
paratively unsuspicious, and it was
easy to trap or poison them. Then
new knowledge, a better comprehen-
sion of the modern dangers, seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn.
ed how to detect and defy the traps
ana Poison, and in some way the
knowledge was passed from one to an
other till all wolves were fully DOS
sessed of the information. How this
Is done is not easy to say. 1t is easier
to prove that 1t is done. Few wolves
ever get into trap, fewer still get Mto
a trap and out again, and thus they
learn that steel trap is thing to be
reared And yet all wolves have the
knowledge, as every trapper knows,
and since they could not get 1t at first
hand they must have got it second
hand-that is, the information was
communicated to them by others of
their kind.
1t Is we'll known among hunters that
q piece of iron is enough to protect any
carcass from the wolves. If a deer
or antelope has been shot and is to be
left out overnight, all that is needed
for its protection is an old horseshoe.
spur or even any part of the hunt
er's dress. No wolf will go near such
suspicious looking or human tainted
things. They will starve rather than
approach the carcass SO guarded.
With poison similar change has
come about. Strychnine was consid-
cred infallible when first it was intro
duced. 1t did vast destruction for
time; then the wolves seemed to dis
cover the danger Of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bait, as know from number
less experiences.
1t is thoroughly well known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
of poisoning wolves is in the late sum-
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mother.
She cannot watch over all Of them the
whole time, and there is a chance of
some of them finding the bait and TAX
ing 1t before they have been taught to
let that sort Of smell thing alone.
The result is that wolves are on the
increase. They have been, indeed,
since the late eighties. They have re-
turned to many of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu-
merous and more widely spread, thanks
to their mastery of the new problems
forced upon them by civilization

What Might Have Been.

Lord Rosebery in an address at Glas.
Cow university some years ago gave ut
terance to the following interesting
speculation:
Had the elder Pitt when he became
prime minister not left the house of
commons he could doubtless have in
duced George III. to listen to reason.
introduced American representation
into parliament and preserved the thir-
teen colonies to England. The new
blood of America would have burst the
old vessels of the constitution and pro-
vided self adjusting system of repre-
sentation. There would have been ND
war Of separation, no war Of 1912, and
finally, when the Americans became a
majority, the empire would perhaps
have moved solemnly across the At
lantic and Britain become a historic
shrine, the European outpost Of the
empire

"You see that curbstone," the first

never saw it when 1t was washed

new BALL RULE APPROVED
Regulation Prohibiting Pitchers soiins
New Ball Meets With Favor.

General satisfaction is heard from all
sides, fans and players alike, over the
construction put on section 4 of rule
IA of the playing rules, which prohibits
the player, the pitcher included, from
taking tina to discolor new ball. The
immediate result of this rule has been
to shorten the games anywhere from
five to ten or fifteen minutes, accord
ing to the number of new balls that
have had to be put in play by the um.
pire.
Any game that is run off in an hour
and half or an hour and forty min
utes is considered fast enough for the
general public.
Several years ago there appeared a
tendency to play long drawn out games
of two hours or more. Corrective meth
DDS We're instantly sought, and among
others adopted was the foul strike rule
The tendency has been increasing the
last season or two, however, and now
comes this rule prohibiting discolora
tion of the ball by any player, and the
effect is shown at once.
Some pitchers have objected to the
rule, saying it is impossible for the
slabmen to get the proper grip on 8
brand new smooth baseball to curve it
and predictions have been made from
time to time that the batting averages
of the players would shoot skyward.
Figures to date do not carry out thii
prediction, for the pitchers apparently
have about the same control they have
shown in the past, and the batsmeI
are finding it just as hard to get start
ed in their spring hitting as formerly.

GARRELS VERSUS SHERIDAN.
Will the Michigan Athletic Giant Wrest
First Honors From Champion?

First Honors From Champion?
No figure in the world of athletics is
attracting more attention these days
than that of John G. Garrels. the great
all around athlete of the University OF
Michigan. Many times in days gone
by the athletic experts have racked
their brains trying to figure out wheth.
er or not Garrels is greater all
around man than Martin Sheridan
American all around champion and the
hero of Athens. Now, all agree that
in the individual events Garrels has
better marks than the New York po-
liceman, but to go through the ten
events in two hours and stand up un-
der the strain as Sheridan does-thats
another matter. If neither Garrels nor
Sheridan disappoints the populace of
Pittsburg on June 20. the long dis
cussed question will be decided when
they meet in a specially arranged all
around match.
One thing is certain-the American
! Olympic team for the London games
will not be complete without this same
John Garrels. He can place in the
shot put discus throw, high hurdles
and possibly in the 400 meter low
hurdles Garrels has never run the
400 meter low hurdles, but there is
every reason to believe he would make
champion at it. In the regula-
tion 220 hurdles the westerner is the
fastest man in the country. save pos
sibly Harry Hillman, and as he ran
some fine quarter miles as a schoolboy
Garrels ought to be able to run close
to the record in the long hurdle race.
In the other events the Wolverines s
records speak for themselves. He
broke the discus mark once, but lost it
on a technicality. At the intercollegiate
games last spring Garrels raced over
the high hurdles in Is is seconds,
tying the record Garrels Is in the
front rank of shot putters too. When
in tiptop condition the hurls the iron
ball out to the forty-six foot mark.
Performances of this grade are valua-
BILE assets to any team, and Garrels in
any kind of condition will be a tower
of strength in the Yankee attack at
London
Every true American is hoping that
Garrels will come out and train hard
for the Olympic team. With Garrels
and Sheridan shoulder to shoulder in
the London meet the stars and stripes
will futter in the breeze when the
victory bugle sounds even oftener than
they did at classic Athens two years
ago. Sheridan himself is more than
anxious to see the great western ath-
lete among the Olympian voyagers.
"He's the greatest all around athlete
in our country-that's what think Of
him." said modest Martin. "Some day
l hopa to meet him, and, win or lose,
that will be the greatest day of my
life"

CIRCUS RIDERS.

Ihey were NinqS OF the onoW IN tne

Riders at one time were the chief at

vided between the rider and the clown.
When the rider was not riding the
clown had the ring all to himself, even
the band ceasing to play until the
clown sang or got off his jokes, after
which the rider resumed the perform
ance. All riders in those days were
champions in the show printing, writes
Tody Hamilton in the Washington
Star.

DREAM FOOD.
Nasheesh, the Strange Drug That 10
Used In the Orient.

Hasheesh, that strange drug which
las given our language its word "as-
,assinn-a man so frenzied by the drug
that he accomplishes murder-is used
nv the Persians, Turks and Egyptians
In a manner akin to the use of opium
by the Chinese. 1t is the product of a
plant grown in large quantities In the
Peloponnesus (southern Greece in the
district about Tripolitza. The plant
grows to height Of about four feet,
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds.
The entire plant, stalk and branches,
is cut within a few inches of the root
and laid out in the sun to dry. The
branches are then rubbed to separate
the seeds. and these in turn are ground
Into a fine powder, which constitutes
rhe drug. The drug has the power of
inducing sleep and producing pleasant
and fantastic dreams Continued use of
basheesh renders its deyotees wild and
reckless and results in a complete
wreck of their mental and physical
constitution.
For. this reason the Egyptian govern
ment prohibited the importation of the
drug and entered into a convention
with Greece to prevent it's expectation
from there to Egypt, where the con.
sumers of hasheesh are very numerous.
The drug is practically never used in
Greece, but is now exported to the va
rious ports in England Austria, France
and Italy, and from there much, nc
doubt, ultimately finds it's way te
Egypt.
