Midnight Murderers.
BY w. t. HoRNADAY.

The desire to murder for the sake
CT killing is born in some carnivorous
animals, and by others it is achieved.
Among the largest and finest Of the
felines, the lions and tigers, midnight
murders are very rare. Individual dis
like is shown boldly and openly, and
we are given fair chance to prevent
fatalities. Among the lions, tigers,
leopards, jaguars, and pumas OF the
New York Geological Park, twenty
eight in number. there has been but
one murder. That was the crime OF
Lopez, the big jaguar, who deserved
instant death as punishment. 1t was
one of the most cunning crimes l
have ever seen among wild animals,
and is now historic.
For year Lopez pretended osten-
tatiously to be good natured ami
NAL. Twenty times at least he acted
the part of playful pet, inviting me
to reach him and stroke him. At
last we decided to give him cage
mate, and fine adult female jaguar
was purchased. The animals actually
tried to caress each other through
the bars, and the big male completely
deceived us all.
At the end of two days it was con-
sidered safe to permit the female
jaguar to enter the cage of Lopez.
She was just as much deceived as we
were. An animal that is afraid always
leaves it's travelling cage slowly and
unwillingly, or not at all. When the
two sets of doors were opened, the
female joyously walked into the cage
OF her treacherous admirer. In an
instant, Lopez rushed upon her,
seized her whole neck in his powerful
jaws, and crushed her cervical verte-
brae by his awful bite. We beat him
over the head; we spiked him; we
even tried to brain him; but he held
her, as a bulldog would hold kitten,
until she was dead. He was deter
mined to murder her, but had cum
ningly concealed his purpose until his
victim was fully in his power.-From
McClure's Magazine.

How Old is Niagara?

This question, always interesting
for the light it throws on the past
history Of the earth, has had many
answers. The latest is that of DR.. j.
w. Spencer, who, from recent studies
on the spot, finds that the mean rate
of recession of the falls at present is
AZ feet per year, and that this has
been the rate for approximately 227
years. But owing to the fact that
originally the waters of Lake Erie
only were discharged over the falls,
giving but one-fifteenth of the pres
ent water supply, the rate of recess
sion was at first much lower. A sud-
den widening Of the gorge above
Fosters Flat indicates the position Of
the falls when the other great lakes
began to discharge into Lake Erie.
From his data, DR.. Spencer calcu-
lates the entire age of the falls at
$4,000 years. The cutting, with the
full power of the four lakes, is esti-
mated to have lasted $500 years.

but IL left alone will sit and make
good mothers.
The chicks are hardy and grow
fast. Some prefer them for early
broilers. They say they early get the
size of one and a half or two pounds,
and at that age are as good as the
chicks of the larger breeds. They
get their growth at the age of five
months, and are good fall and winter
layers. as l have said, if well handled.
In color the head, back and ex-
posed parts of the wings of the cock
are bright bay, while the breast,
flight feathers of the wing and tail
are black. The neck hackle and sad
die is bay laced with black. There

proportion and out Of reasonable
bounds. 1t is at this time that a
complete renewal becomes advisable.
This can be accomplished without the
loss of crop, providing the work be
done early in the spring Of a season
in which the fruit buds have been de-
stroyed by the rigors of winter, as
Is often the case in all sections Of
Ohio other than those bordering on
Lake Erie. Where annual crops are
the rule the fortunate orchardist may
cut back of few Of the branches
of each tree each season, thereby
keeping an adequate supply of new
fruiting wood coming on, low down
where pruning and spraying may be
easily done and where the crop may
be safely supported by the superior
strength Of the short, sturdy, we'll
knit branches. Thus gradually the
trees will become renewed, there will
be no material loss in fruit produc-
ton and the fruit will be of larger
size because of the decreased number
of specimens to be developed

DEAD SHOT FOR INSECTS.

When insects, mice or other Great
ures infest grain bins, burrow out of
sight or attempt to make their places
secure against ordinary methods of
attack, the best remedy is bisulphide
Of carbon, very volatile liquid,
which becomes rapidly converted into
gas, penetrating into every hole,
crack or other harboring place. AS
this gas is heavier than air it sinks
down to the lowest points, hence goes
wherever the creature can go. Poured
into a rat hole (about tablespoon
full and the hole covered with dirt,
the rat must come out or perish.
To destroy weevil in wheat it may
be used with advantage. Being very
volatile and also highly explosive. no
fame or light of any kind must be
brought near it. not even lighted
pipe or cigar. 1t has given excellent
satisfaction when used at the roots of
trees, after removing the earth for
that purpose, in destroying root lice
and other insects at work near tho
roots.-Tae Epitomist.
