Deer in the Arctic Regions.

From the Manchester Guardian.
The deer which Commander Peary
found in large numbers on his last ex-
petition were reindeer. or. as they are
usually called in Canada. caribou. 1t IL
the only kind OF deer that inhabits Green
land and the land to the north. 1t was
formerly very plentiful in southern Green
land; as many as twenty-five thousand of
it's hides were exported annually to Dem
mark in the middle of the nineteenth
century. Constant hunting. however, has
thinned it's numbers. and now in the dis
tricts anywhere near civilization. though
not exterminatcI, 1T is no longer COM
mon.
The reindeer is found near and within
the arctic circle. both in the old world
and new and though more or less well
marked differences are found in the deer
mia biting different countries. naturalists
seem to agree in regarding all the
geographical races as varieties of one
species. There are half a dozen of these
in all, three OF which are found in Brit
'sh America and fourth in Greenland.
As may be expected in animals living in
such a cold climate, the peage is en-
tremely dense and compact, qualities
which make the skins invaluable for
only for clothes and bed covering. but
also as lining and carpets in the winter
houses. No real attempt seems to have
been made to domestica'e any variety of
re'ndeer except the European. These
latter have been introduced into Alaska
and for some years have been used as
draft animals.

The reason why he is not more frequently

as that shuns him. He seldom bites any

Wild Flowers of the Tropics.
mboa Correspondence Mexican Herald.

damboa Correspondence Mexican Herald
Between Tonala and the Guatemala
border exists one of the greatest floral
bowers In the republic. This is the time
Of year when all of the morning glories
and many other wild flowers Of the
tropics are beginning to bloom, and rail-
road men who are familiar with all the
roads of the republic say that the grand
EFT sight of all is to be seen here. The
massive trees in the forest which line for
miles the railroad are covered to the tops
with vines and blossoms, and the tee-
graph poles and wires present a similarly
beautiful sight.
Along the lines are hundreds of corn
fields. and it seems that each stalk of
corn forms pole upon which is growing
morning glory vine. This does not in
the least hinder the crop, for the corn
of the particular season has been topped
ready for harvest.
Near Mepastepec, below here, there is a
lane some six kilometers in length where
the tops of the trees on either side of
the track almost meet, forming a most
strikingly beautiful floral arch. These
trees are all covered with vines with the
millions of blossoms, and the sight is one
rarely, If ever, seen in other parts OF

generally two of these tubes which run
the whole length of the insects body.
Many flies, as larvae, live In the water.

each of which runs series of blood ves-

means of these the larva causes currents
Of water to flow over the gills and thus
their efficiency is increased. The gnat
also lives in the water as larva. But 1t

air. This is done by means OF spicade
situated at the tip of its tail. Indeed, the
tail is prolonged into little tube 1xie

water with this tube just above the sur
face to enable it to breathe. After some
time 1t is provided with two little tubes
which act in the same manner.

From the Boston Transcript.
The destruction of the French dirigible
La Republique. with the loss of all its
crew, four in number. Is followed by
chorus of questions as to the utility Of
the cruisers of the air either for war or
commerce. That question followed the
first disasters of steam navigation. Peo-

did not blow up they would probably be
of great value. The pioneers of aviation
like those Of steam navigation, take their
lives in their hands but as experience
comes both in construction and manage

the speed with which he gets out

what do we hear? Alfred says,
that he is goldummed glad to

thing he could possibly think of,
to everlastinqly kowtoW to
bunch of bosses and such like,
not exactly in these words, but

An Editorial Ramble in

Things have been moving in
good old Lennon town, aye
these two years and better, and
furthermore, things have been
moving throughout the Golden
Eldorado Of the Dakotas, in such
a manner, that actually for the
better than two years that this
jubilant rag-of- freedom has been
blessing the state line with it's
effervescences, the editor has
practically never been at a loss
for news, spicy more or less,
wherewith to fill the original
columns of The State-Line Her
aid.
But, alas, not so this week.
This week there is a most despair
ing dearth of news, and the ed

OF the stuff usually rated as ''hot
air. might cause a revolt among
his readers.
Of course, like Monte Cristo
the editor might shout the

write learnedly abont a million
themes that do not concern our
limited sphere, but there is no
satisfaction in such a course for
we know nought but Gods coun-

Williston Office, where the plats
