of buffalo. The cost of maintaining
such an animal is much less than that
of range cattle and Buffalo Jones be-
lieves that catalo raising will prove
profitable. The animal is as hardy as
the buffalo and is well able to with
stand the wintry blasts. The catalo
will live for weeks without food and
Will find a comfortable existence on a
range considered worthless for graz
ing purposes.
Several experiments in raising cat
alo have been conducted in the Dooly
herd on Antelope island. A cross be-
tween Hereford cattle and the buffalo
has been obtained that is large and
hardy. In every instance save one the
catalo has been the calf of a buffalo
COW, sired by a domestic bull In only
one instance has catalo been the calf
of 4 domestic helfer
This instance was the result of an
experiment conducted on Antelope is
land A Hereford cow with consider
able difficulty raised q monstrous hy-
brid, half buffalo and half Hereford.
This hybrid was born on March 4, 1904
the date of the Inauguration of Presl
dent Roosevelt, and was promptly
christcned ''Tcddy.'' Recently his
name, for some reason, was changed
to " Boaz.' Perhaps his nature was
not fierce enough to Justify the name
of "Teddy.'
"Teddy" remained with his mother
all of the time, refusing to run with
the buffalo. He was large and in color
rcsembled the Hereford. His coat was
black, with an immense shaggy name
hanging low from his shoulders and
extending over his head His forehead
was blazed and his horns short and
blunt like the buffalo. He was con-
structed much after the buffalo with
an enormous head and large hump
on lus shoulders. He was much larger
than the average buffalo and he was
almost as large as the largest buffalo
known, He was much larger than the
other catalo heretofore produced and
his disposition was even more ferociouS
than that Of the buffalo.
Keeps Close to Mother.
When undisturbed this mammoth
catalo would Craze quietly with the
rest of the Hereford herd, always keep
ing close to his mother, who appeared
tiny in comparison to her huge off
spring who in three years' time had
become full grown, but who still pre-
| ferred to Craze near his mother, "Ted
dy'' resented the approach of man and
was always ready to fly to the defense
of his mother whenever he thought she
was in danger.
Teddy became quite an attraction
at Antelope island, especially for nat

In one year 100000 buffalo skins were
gathered and it Is estimated that each
skin represented the death Of four ami
mails. Young buffalo were killed for
meat Some people considered buffalo
tongue great delicaey and many ami.
mails were killed merely for their
tongues.
In Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. buf.
falo bunting became quite an industry
and the millions slaughtered annually
quickly cxterminated the great south
eru herd. Although it was realized that
the entire buffalo race was quickly be-
ing exterminated, no provision for the
protection Of the animals WIS made.

The northern herd shared the fate Of
the southern herd. The animals were
pushed farther to the north by the
hunters, where the blIzzards and the
wolves aided in the determination.
Another factor In the great decrease
of The animals was race suicide. Dur
ing the last fifty years the percentage
Of increase of buffalo has been very
small in comparison with other ami,
mails, seldom more than 5 per cent. OF
the calves born large percentage was

mails is that the majority of the ami
mails are females,

invasion of the white race would not
have become extinct in time through

shown that the common tumbler or
other receptacle used for such pur.
poses is frequent and dangerous
source of infection. To employ such
q vessel on train. at street fountain
or elsewhere is to take serious risk.
A drinking cup which had been used
for several months without washing
in a high school was lined with a
brownish deposit which when viewed
under the microscope was seen to be
composed largely of particles of mud,
with thousands of bits Of dead skin
and millions Of bacteria. When a
small quantity Of this sediment was
injected under the skin of q healthy
guinea pig the animal died in As
hours, the post-mortem examination
showing that death was due to blood
poisoning. A second guinea pig, UNI
der similar circumstances, developed
tuberculosis; and inquiry proved that
several of the pupils in the high
school were afflicted with the dread
malady.
The rim of another drinking cup
used In school bore no fewer than
/, 900, 900 germs, while vastly greater
number fingered deeper In the vessel
where saliva had dripped down.
The conclusions drawn from all OBJ
servations are to the effect that the
common drinking vessel is one of the
most fruitful sources Of the spread Of
infectious diseases. Such mouth-to-
mouth infection, furthermore. is espe-
cialIy dangerous because of the moist
state III which the germ cultures pass
from person to person. Peril fingers

ica of tbo Scotch sailors remains The resolution
called for an appropriation of $4,000 to pay the
EXPENSES Then the fun began The Knockers IN

the Rue des Ecluses Saint Martin or on several
other rues which they could not pronounce
Congress in its humor had the aid and jocose
correspo dents who the rare jest In the bones
search and made the most Of It, And here~recoi-
lection brings blush of contrition to the cheeks
of one who followed in the train. Members said
and correspondents wrote that the French doubtless
grady would allow their business palaces to be I'M
dermined and toppled to ruin on the payment OF
$4,000 of Yankee cash.
If Yankee cheek, the representatives said, aided
by French politeness could accomplish the purpose
of building demolition there would be small chance
of separating Jones bones with any certainty OF
identity from those of the French sleepers In the
old cemetery One scoffer suggested with fine irony
that there might be bit Of the original Scotch
skull left, and that Sidney Smiths rule might be
applied to make positive the identification.
Mr. Rainey was undsturbed He was not even
moved to surrender when suggestion was made that
IL the $4,000 were sent over to some French grave
digger he would find the old sea dogs bones and
prove their genuineness If he had to tattoo the
sailors autograph In the tibia OF the left leg to
do 1t.
1t was two years the way but the last laugh
came and 1t was Mr. Rainey who had 1t. His
colleagues made amend for their scof1ng and their
scorning and another Jester Of the past writes
belated word Of contrition.
