THE climate Of northern California

for the growth of crops than for
star gazing; but the early stages of
Halley's comet are of such interest that

past, burt Nknowledge of its fainter

As shown in the diagram. Beta in the

LONDON HONORS PEARY.
Britishers Present Explorer with Medal
and Cheer Picture Of American
Flag at NORTH Pole.

LONDON. May 5.-Before a vast au-
dience in Albert hall, the Royal Geo
graphical society Wednesday night pre-
scented Robert f. Peary with the special
gold medal Of the society, and welcomed
the American explorer as the first and
only human being who ever led a party
of his fellow creatures TO pole of the
earth"
A silver replica of the medal was pre-
sented to Capt Robert a. Bartlett, who
commanded the steamer Roosevelt and
who accompanied Peary to the last camp
before the dash to the pole.
When the two explorers entered the
hall, accompanied by Maj. Leonard Oar
win. president Of the society, the audi
ence arose and accorded them a reception
BETTING national heroes.
President Darwin, who occupied the
chair with Peary and Bartlett on either
side introduced Peary and declared,
amid cheers, that as the representative
of the Royal Geographical society, he
welcomed the explorer Is the only man
who had led a party to the pole.
Peary prefaced his lecture with a
tribute to the British Arctic explorers,
who. for centuries, had made efforts to
reach the pole, and who had paved the
way for those coming after. The lecture
was enthusiastically received, the audi
ence rising to cheer when picture show
ing the Stars and Stripes flying AT the
pole was thrown upon screen.

THE RAZORBACK HOG.
Menace to Hunters-Destroys Eggs and
Young of Game Birds.


A North Carolina correspondent says.
that through the enforcing Of the stock
laws in the mountains of that state the,
ravages Of the razorback hog are being
curtailed
"In number of the southern and
middle western states hogs are permitted
to roam at will through the woods ami
river bottoms of sparsely settled regions.
An attempt is made to mark them by
means Of notching, Sitting or clipping
the ears, an unsatisfactory method at
best, and one which has caused many "A
neighborhood feud and the spiling of
human blood.
There is always a certain percentage
of these hogs that cannot be claimed or
taken up by any person, because proof
Of ownership is lacking, and as the prac-
tice has been in vogue for u great many
years there are plenty Of genuine wild
hogs.
Whether or not the progentors Of the
razorback hog were fat, slow going
beasts, such as prosperous farmers own,
we do not know. The fact is that the
present woods rangers are long Of leg,
swift Of foot and so lean that the term
"razorback" is fairly appropriate. Ac-
customed to encounters with other woods
providers in defence of their young, they
have developed courage Of a sort, and
while they will not attack men they oft
en- set upon hunting dogs, invade camps
and despoil everything within their
reach.
In the regions infested by these scav-
engers the loss in eggs and the young of
game birds is very large. Where there are
no fences the raZOrbacks scour the woods
so carefully that nothing they viii! eat
escapes They travel fast and far and
rake the country as with fine tooth
comb; their sense Of smell is highly de-
veloped, and the eggs and young Of
ground nesting birds are never safe when
they are abroad.-Forest and Stream.
