There are, all told, not more than
1900 buffalo remaining in the United
States and Canada" said MIR. G. !.
Jones, OF Grand Canyon, Ariz. Mr..
Jones has for years borne the sobri-
mot OF Buffalo Jones'" because OF
his efforts to perpetuate the bison
breed. lie is also distinguished for
his successful experiments in crossing
the buffalo with the domestic cattle,
producing hish bred animal, to
which he has given the name OF
"catalo."
The largest single herd OF buffalo
remaining" said he, is owned by the
Flath2ad Indians, OF Montana--about
400. The second largest is on the
Austin Corbin estate, in New Hamp-
shire. Next comes the herd of Scotty
Phillips, in North Dakota, and there
is also fair herd on the big ranch OF
Mr.. Goodnight, in the Texas pan
handle. The catalo, a cross between
the bison and common cattle, Is an
animal that has the traits of both pro-
p.nitors; not SO wild and hard to
manage as the buffalo, and yet a good
bit sayer than its dam. Washing

The Euchc Indians. 500 in number,
who live in a remote part Of the
Creek nation, cling to their own lam
guage and marry principally among
their own tribe, after being conquered
and absorbed by the Greek Indians
more than 200 years ago. In some
cases Euche may marry a Creek,
and the chiidren will speak 10 the
father in the Euche language and to
the mother in Creek.
Noah Gregory, well known Euche
Indian, i'm recalling some of these cir
cumstances, says he can remember
when his father used 10 punish him
for talking Creek at home. The
Creeks conquered the Euches in Ala
bama SO many years ago that the
story is only tradition, the latter be-
ing given the full rights and privi-
leges Of the Creek citizens. Most OF
the tribe are full bloods, owing to the
fact that they marry principally
among themselves. The district in
which they live is in the mountainous
region OF the Creek nation, which lies

Device Which Catches Engineers At.
tention When Approaching Signals.

Germany recently has been hayin (
its share of the same epidemic OF rail-
road disasters which aroused the
American public a year ago, and the
largp number of accidents which were
traced 10 the failure OF engine drivers
10 see signals has caused the Prussian
Railway Administration 10 adopt d
new signal apparatus. The feature
Of the new system lies in the warning
given the engineer that he Is ap-
proarhlng a signal about 10 yards
before the signal Itself is actually
reac' T. This b. a.cumDlisnrd Oy the
use o.. an electric cab signal system.
which rOuscs the drivers attention
by ringing a bell and exposing a
white slide directly before his eyes in
the cab. with his attention thus
stimulated the driver will have no eX-
cuso for running by signal in fog.
This combination OF outside and in
side apparatus does away with the OBJ
lection railroad men have made 10
signal devices before the engineers
eyes i'm the cab, which they believed
would tend TO make him pay less at
tentlon TO the line or road stretching
before him. Watching from the loco
motive is absolutely necessary for the
safety OF the train. and would grad
ually he left unperformed If attention
was distracted entirely TO phe little
signal apparatus in the cab.
The apparatus now used in Prussia
on several railroads Is as follows: At
a fixed distance from the signal post
two parallel iron bars with small
space between them are mounted
along the track for several yards.
There is attached to the locomotive
an arm which carries a bristly broom
made OF Dliable copper wires. The
passage Of this broom between the
iron bars produces a contact which is
intense and free from -Concussion. An
electrical action follows upon the
mechanism in the cab, a bell sounds.
and white slide replaces a red. The
sign remains plainly visible to the eye
until the engineer presses a button.
He knows definitely that a signal is 10
be expected, and If he cannot clearly
make CT the order intended will stop
the train.-Ncw York Times.
