Scenes Showing Winter, Rain and
 Birds in Flight Cleverly shown.
 But 1t is not until extraordinary set tings are to be presented-winter scenes, rain scenes, or birds in flight. for instance-that the artist displays his best ingenuity and inyestiyeness. A group of musk oxen, for example, re- Quires a foot of snow. The beasts are shown, males, females and their calves, knee deep In snow. which Is nothing cooler than granulated paraffin- The animals are startled and stop to gaze, but, as seen by their tracks, they have been roofing for the sparse grass be- meath the heavy fall, and their shouts and faces show frozen dust-melted paraffin spattered with a stif brush. If a scene with opaque Ice is required. paraffin In sheets strikingly lends itself to the illusion. And as boar frost is made, so Is snow dust initiated
 A rain scene Is artistically initiated by means of glycerin. Leaves of trees and twigs and shrubs are coated with this liquid. which, when thinly spat- tered over the fur of a mounted animal. looks exactly like fallen mist or con- densed fog or like early morning dew.
 Birds In flight, like the laEger anil mals, are mounted after instantaneous photographs. With wings and tall feathers spread and with legs lying close, they appear to soar In a general direction, no two birds, however, being posed anywhere near alike, and even the angle of flight varying with the in- dividual, as is made possible by their suspension with invisible platinum wires.
 Not only are such birds shown dart ing skyward from a thicket, but the ascent takes place from their matching ground. The sand is thickly strewn with various nests-actual nests, stolen bodily-and here and there are broken shells showing where -broods have been matched. Here the tiny birds, still de pendent upon their mothers, sit in nests, bills open, awaiting a welcome contribution. Other young birds have managed to quit the paternal home and are striking out for themselves among the shells on the sands-Pearson Mag. aZine.

A Fountain of Ants.

The house I was occupying In India was a bungalow, and, as is the case with many bungalows, the Inner walls were constructed of merely sun dried bricks, and in the recesses of one wall a colony of white ants had established a nest. It was evening. I heard be hind me a buMang sound. turned, and from a hole near the bottom of the wall beheld a fountain of young white ants ascending. The reached the ceiling, and then the descent com- menced. They aligheed by thousands on the table and there shook of their wings. In few minutes the cloth, the plates, the glasses, even the lamp shades, were covered with the little white, feeble, crawling creatures The fountain of ants continued to play for at least ten minutes. When, next morning, the floor was swept the wings that the ants had shaken off filled a large basket What became of the ants themselves I cannot say.-"Haunts and Hobbies of an Indian Official"

Enthusiastic Over
Wellington OIL Wells

A mining man named Redding, who
discovered the oil fields near Wellington,
which are now attracting much attention,
and causing a great deal of excitement,
arrived in Reno last night to confer with
Attorney J. B. Jones, who represents
Gufey, the Pennsylvania, who tried to
stampede the Democratic convention
and prevent the nomination of Bryan.
Mr.. Redding has been in communica-
ton with Attorney Jones for some time
and it is now stated that Jones will, in
behalf of Guffey, who is an oil magnate,
visit the new oil fields and invest in
them for Duffey.
Redding brought to Reno with him
several bottles full of the natural gas
found in the new oil fields and at the
Reno Commercial club last night gave a
demonstration with this gas.
1t is stated that there are more than
10000 acres of oil land in the vicinity of
Wellington and that with proper devel-
opment that land will produce some of
the largest oil wells in the West. Reno
