NEW SPORT ON PRAIRlEs
Motor Car Is Used In Chasing Fleet
Jack Rabbits and the Willy
Coyote.

Topeka. Kan.-The faithful horse is
going into the discard in Kansas as a
necessary adjunct of hunting party
or the chase of horse thief Motor
cars are becoming so plentiful In the
state and they have been found SO
much better In chasing the feet Jack
rabbit or driving the common coyote
to its lair or catching those who take
horses and mules from stables with
out the owners permission that the
horses are being relegated to the rear
Rabbit and wolf hunts have long
been common sport in Kansas. Men
would go out with horses and dogs
and have rabbit or wolf drive Now
a party Of dozen men in three or
four motor cars goes out and makes
more successful drives than a hundred
men with horses.
A wolf hunt with a motor car is
about as exciting sport as any one
would care to indulge In. In middle
and western Kansas are thousands of
acres of wheat and corn lands with
out fence. Often one can drive five
or ten miles across the country and
encounter few fences except those
around a small pasture on each farm.
Motorists can drive miles and miles
across the prairie lands OF the west
ern half of this state without running
into fence or creek or gully.
1t is not much trouble to stir up a
coyote or prairie wolf In western Kan
sas. and when the motor party sees
one the race begins. The coyote runs
in large circle. He does not dodge
back and forth or zigzag much, SO 1t
is a comparatively easy matter for the
driver to keep right behind Mr..
Coyote. But that motor car must be
moving along at lively gait. The
coyote can. hump along across the
prairie at about 80 miles an hour, and
he can also do some tall squirting
when necessity demands.
In the days of coyote hunting with
horses and dogs the wolves were never
driven to their dens. But about an
hours driving with motor car gives
the coyote about all the running he
cares for and he makes for his den
But his rect is not long. because the
hunters pour some gasoline into the
hole. the animal pops out, and the
chase Is resumed across the country
until a good shot ends the life of the
pest Of the prairie.

New York.-Outside OF having 30

The Hague.-Until recently none of
the many exploring expeditions sent
out by England. Germany and Holland
had ever succeeded in penetrating into
the heart of New Guiana, the great
island which is partitioned among the
three nations. Swamps. forests and
many other difficulties stood in the
way, to say nothing of the natives,
who were reputed to be savages de.
voted to head-hunting and cannibal-
ism.
Some progress, however, was made.
The courses of several rivers were de-
termined and the existence of lofty
range of mountains was verified. The
goal Of several Dutch expeditions had
been the Orange range. the highest
peak Of which had been named VIII
helmiDa. and considerable information
about 1t had been obtained. Several
Of the explorers claimed to have seen
snow-covered SUBMITS, but about this
there was a difference of opinion,
some saying that the whiteness might
be due TO chalky formations OF rock
Last year Professor Lorentz and a
bmdii party OF Netnerianuers set out 10
reach these mountains which had
seemed SO elusive. The professor was
familiar with the coast regions and
the language of the natives. and he
also had the assistance OF the govern
ment Following river into the in
terror. the party succeeded in reach
ing high table land never before
visited by white men. but the snowy
range of mountains could not be seen
on account Of the proximity of the
foothills
Feeling sure that they were pro
ceeding in the right direction. the
party pushed on in spite of innumer
able difficulties and at last saw the
glittering goal of their journey in the
far distance. One of the peaks they
discovered was christened Juliana.
Though most Of the members of the
expedition were suffering from fever
contracted In the jungles. they con-
tinued on. leaving all unnecessary
articles behind and establishing sup
