size of a buried rock in his field by
this method. If it moves when he
prizes he knows that it is of reasonable
size, and even if it just shakes enough
to dislodge a little of the adhering
sand and soil he at least knows that
it isn't the top of ledge extending to
China Cor whatever place lodges do
go to- and that it can be handled
somehow.
Well, to resume, this rock didn't
wink. So we attempted to knock the
top off with a stone hammer This
also failed, for whatever line of cleav-
age nature had originally planned
this boulder had by subsequent vol
canic fires been ''metamorphosed
into a fiinty rascal that struck a
spark at each blow, but refused to
scale or break. Then we tried to dig
around it, thinking we could pry it
out. But a days digging only uncov-
cred a big egg-shaped mass, roughly
ten feet by eight, that would require
train wrecking crew to handle.
Blasting was out Of the question, as
it was directly in front of the dining
room and porch windows (the latter
of loaded glass and cost too much to
smash). SO we just kept on digging
on one side and under the rock, mean
while bracing it with timbers. Final
ly without warning, and with crash
of sticks and grind of sand, it rolled
over into the newly made grave, and

Before the demonstration began Mr.
Bangerter explained that his inven-
ton does not require explosives OF
any kind and that compressed air has
nothing to do with the discharge of
the bullets. The mechanism, he eX-
planned, is simple-so simple, in fact,
that any one with bent for ma
chinery would understand it if once
permitted to examine the gun.
Power from a seven horsepower
electric motor supplied the propelling
force which discharged the bullets.
This power was transmitted by a belt
which ran from the fly wheel of the
motor through an opening in the
easement and over another wheel
which was connected with the guns
mechanism.
No sound except the whirr of the
wheel came from the gun enclosure
when the power was turned on. Mr.
Bangerter did not enter the little
room housing the weapon, for once

A Puzzle to the Athletic World.

Tom Longboat, Canada's long dis
lance runner, and probably the most
feared man in the Olympic Marathon,
is a puzzle to the athletic world. Two
years ago he was unknown On
Thanksgiving day, 1906, a long, gaunt
redskin. clad in a grotesquely barred
bathing suit, flashed first past the
post in a field of thirty of the best
distance runners on the American
continent. The betting was 100 to
against him, and the very fact that
an obscure Indian, with practically
no training, won the race, which was
a classic event, made the country sit
up and take notice. Since that day
the Indian has won race after race
with consummate ease, his most re-
markable feat being when last spring
he ran in the Boston Marathon race,
a twenty-five mile American road fix
ture. There he met lis United States
and Canadian runners, and won by
nearly a mile The most remarkable
fact concerning Longboat is that he
runs fat-footed, smokes continually
and trains only in spasmodic man.

AN ANNUAL WOLF HUNT.
Best Time of the Year to Get Rid OF
the Pest in Upper Michigan.

Best Time of the Year to Get Rid of
the Pest in Upper Michigan.
"The annual wolf drive or hunt of
the Houghton county trappers and
hunters will be the chief subject for
discussion in the extreme upper penin-
sula for the next three weeks" said j.
A. Wright of Houghton, Mich. "This
hunt will take place in about two
weeks and will start from little town
named Aston, station on the Min
eral Range railroad. Over seventy
dogs already been secured, and it is
expected that 125 hunters will take
part.
The hunters congregate at Aston,
while the men who handle the dogs
distribute themselves along the rail
road tracks in preparation for the
drive. At a signal given, which is
passed along the line by gunshots all
the dogs are taken into the woods
and started and the hunt is on Soon
a dog scares up a wolf and chaSes him
in toward the Sturgeon river where
he cannot run any further, and then
the sounds of barking all along the
line tell how first one and the another
animal is making for the river
The hunters are following the dogs
and the game is plentiful enough, so
that forty or fifty wolves are killed
annually At this time of the year the
wolf is tanner than at any other sea
son. and can be hunted with greater
ease. This ordinarily cunning animal
seems to lose a good share of his craft
in the late spring.
The profits of this hunt besides
the general good that it does the
farmer and cattle owner in the vicinity
are great, as the bounty on wolves in
Houghton county, including fees from
the state, is about $65.'

deeply serious There is one person
who knows our secret, but only one.
What would you say should be done
with that persona
Anatovitch's moustache seemed to
bristle fiercely, and his eyes were like
live Goals. His whole aspect showed
a primitive and savage access of pas
sion and hate.
Il should say he said, with some
thing of snarl, that it was a case of
killing, no MURDER as you English
phrase is"
You would say that the person
should be done away WITH"
YES, Should. answered Anato-
witch. But how came the secret to
be known to this person? Who be-
trayed it,"
''You can scarcely say that it was
betrayed said Sir Maxwell, still
watching his man intently. 1T was
through Sir John"
"Sir joint" cried the Russian. "But
how"
my father revealed it in his deliri-
um,' explained Sir Maxwell. "The &C
cident affected his brain in the strang-
est manner. Sometimes he was as
clear in his mind as you or I, Anato-
witch. At other times he was quite
unconscious. And then again, there
were times when he spoke without
knowing in the least what he said-he
was delirious And his delirious fits
came on nearly always about the
same time in the evening; never in
the morning nor during the day, but
always in the evenings, and generally
between s and 10 o'clock. 1t was while
in that state of delirium that he gave
the secret away"
81 understand" said AnatOvitch,
who was beginning to understand
something else, as Sir Maxwell, no
doubt, meant him to understand. Il
see how it was" he went on. And
who was it that heard him?' he ask
ed; but already he knew, and his face
took on the strangest expression.
''It was his nurse, the young lady
you have seen, the young lady who is
to accompany my sister to Sulja-

Small stones can usually be pried
out with crowbars and loaded on a
stone drag, and larger ones can be
blasted. Almost every community has
it's blaster-a man with a drill like a
pointed cold chisel, giant powder and
fuses Blasting rock is simple and
interesting work, but hardly safe
pastime for children. All you need to
do is to drill hole in the rock ten to
fourteen inches deep, and in what
seems to be the most advantageous
direction. This requires two men, one
to hold and turn the drill and the 9th
er to swing the sledge. If you are the
"One" be sure the other can hit
what he aims at, and is not looking
around at the scenery when he
swings a fourteen pound hammer in
the direction of your hands. If you
hold the drill do not finch when you
see the hammer coming, or it will
miss the drill anyway, and you will be
nursing a bruised hand or a broken
arm for time. Water should be
poured into the hole in drilling, and
a piece of leather fixed washer fash
ion On the drill will keep it from
splashing out.
When the hole is complete dry it
out with a rag on q stick, put in a
fuse and fill it with giant powder,
which is coarse gunpowder. Split the

now low, now shrill, and always with
much laughter. Mary was silent and
perhaps it was that she
was tired. But Katia had evidently
impaired one special piece of news to
her, for she said to Dmitri after they
had shaken hands, "Katia has told me
of your betrothal to Anna Melikoff
and | congratulate YOU"
Dmitri bowed, smiled and thanked
her. but his manner was hardly that
of a happy lover.
Il regret that I was unable to meet
you at the steamer to-day, as I should
like to have DONE he said.
Katia told me there was some
trouble at the works which prevented
you from coming said Mary, but
hope it is not serious, though l fear it
is, perhaps. Katia has way of laugh
ing at everything. She is always so
gay. But as you did not come | was
afraid it might be something worse
than she said"
Il dare say that it will blow over,
but there was some talk of strike,
and l wished to nip it in the bud
that was ALL
Mary understood from his way of
speaking that he thought he had
nipped the strike in the bud
"And now everything is all right"
she asked
Yes he said with decision. "You
see," he went on, Eve are SO near
Odessa, and that has always been a
center of disaffection. Men come and
talk to our workmen and fill their
heads with all sorts of nonsense. But
| think the trouble is practically over,
and you need not feel disturbed in the
least Welcome again to Sulja!"
This brief conversation took place
on the platform of the station at Sui
ia: thereafter the party drove to the
residence of the Anatovitches, which
was about a mile away.
