JAPANESE KITE FLIGHTS

In Japan there Is an annual feast
day for boys, when each house having
male children hangs out strings Of pa
per carp, which inflated by the breeze
become ufelike monster fish.
1T was on this feast day." says q
writer in the Wide World, that We
left Yokohama for Kamakura, once
the eastern capital of Japan, now
merely q quiet little seaside village.
AS it was such an important occa-
sion the whole world made holiday,
some families hurried to the seashore
to fly their enormous humming kites,
from which the parents appeared to
derive quite as much enjoyment as
the children. The loud hum emitted
by the soaring kite as caused by a
piece Of thin bamboo, which is
stretched tightly across from shoulder
to shoulder.
"This taut bamboo flament not
only acts as aeolian harp but bends
the whole kite, SO that its surface is
concave instead of being, as in our
kites, plane. The noise when some
threescore or SO Of these monsters are
In the air at the same time is deafen-
ing.
1.-THE Japanese kite has no tail, but
is furnished with numerous long
steamers. Great competitions are
held by the owners of the kites. and
occasionally a mimic battle will be
fought in the air, the rival factions en-
deavoring by means Of powdered
glass. which has been previously
worked into a definite length of the
kite strings, to saw through a rivals
string. and so bring the vanquished
kite tumbling ANONYMOUSLY to the

The story of duel to the death
between a mule and bear comes
from Chambersburg. Pa. The mule
came out victorious. Aroused by q
commotion in his barn. Dan Shawley,
lumberman and farmer, found the
bear in combat with his pet mule.
Contrary to the established custom
the mule was using his front feet In

lar tatto over the head. One savage
slap by the mule broke one of the
bears front legs and the bulky animal
fell PROSTATE. Then the mule re-
versed himself and let loose the death
dealing assault from his hind quar-.
tiers. The bear died shortly after
Shawley reached the scene. It weighed
262 pounds and showed the marks OF
eight bullet punctures.

Torchy the Goat" :?

In Showing Teedy the Ditch" Robert
Ellins, Torchy's immediate boss, tried to
make the red-haired Office boy goat"
by thrusting him against Teedy at a
swell afternoon reception. Teedy was
the favorite droll spirit of the occasion.
and he looked upon the gazing Torchy
as particularly fine subject to furnish
amusement for his tittering audience.
How sheepishly the redoubtable Office
boy submitted to Teedy's jibes can be
imagined by our readers. And, inciden-
tally. Torchy's exploit brought about the
settlement of romance in which Rob-
ert was indirectly interested. This Torchy
story gives just the needed balance to

SQUIRRELS A PROBLEM
FOR FOREST SERVICE
Eat Up Seeds and Make the
Task of RefOrestatiOn
Difficult.

Whether we will have squirrels or for
ests in the United States is a question
that is now presenting itself urgently to
the Department of Agriculture. Dr. II.
w. Henshaw, chief of the biological sur
vey, has just returned to Washington
after a tour Of the west, where the forest
service is worried over this problem.
The squirrels that are forcing them
selves into the balance against the trees
are the gray squirrels of the west and
the Pacific coast. There has been an
immense amount of trouble wherever the
forest service has tried to reforest either
cut-Over or burned areas, from the small
rodents that ate the seeds before they
sprouted. The gophers, field mice and
ground squirrels have been the worst Of
tenders, and it has been found necessary
to eXterminate these little pests over
large areas before reforesting was at all
successful

Misses Marguerite and Esther Murdoch,

vived the flood, is still in Austin awaiting
the arrival of her husband from the west,
he having been in Nevada on business
when the flood occurred. AS he has not
heard anything from his family, they be-
lieve he may think that all of them are
dead.
When seen at Mrs. Morgans home Miss
Marguerite made numerous apologies for
the appearance of the clothing she and
her sister wore.

Hopes to Save Squirrels.

The biological survey does not want to
eXterminate the squirrels, and does not
intend to poison them at first, at any
rate, but will send out hunters to kill
them off by shooting in the worst infest
ed regions to see whether they can be
held in check till the new trees get
start.
DR.. Henshaw said he made a visit to
the national bison range, where 10000
acres have been fenced on the Flathead
Indian reservation, and found the herd
of bison installed there were doing well
and taking kindly to their new surround
ings The Flathead Indians have several
thousand acres of land they want to ir-
rigate, and they cannot readily get water
to it without running an irrigation ditch
across the bison park. They are willing
to do the work of ditch digging them
selves or pay the Department of Agri-
culture for having it done, but the de-
partment does not want to risk this in
vasion of the bison territory, and the
method by which the question shall be
settled has not yet been worked out.

Kill Ground Squirrels.

This has been done in some cases with
the aid of the biological survey, and in
cases where from 10 to so per cent of the
seed were formerly eaten within thirty
six hours after planting it has been
found possible to kill off the small ground
animals and get d good stand of new
timber. In fact, in the COchapaW forest
of Colorado it is probable that the stand
of young trees will have to be thlnnea
out to give room the trees ought to have.
But now comes the gray squirrel and
presents a new problem to the forester.
In most of the reforesting areas the seed
of the yellow pine is the most desirable
seed to be planted. The gray squirrels,
it is found, not only eat the seed that
are planted, but if the seed crop is at all
light they eat the seed before the for
esters can collect them for planting. The
rangers have tried the experiment of
watching the squirrels, and find they fire.
auentiy can locate the boards of the lit
tie red squirrel, getting as much a
bushel of seed sometimes from single
granary. But the gray squirrel does not
hoard the seed He either eats as he
goes or else buries scattered seed, SO it is
useless to look for them.

telephoned to the police, but the visitor
left no card and he has not been caught

Pushed Houses Before It.

The water did not wash into the
houses and then pass on, as persons had
always thought it would do if the dam
ever broke, but it pushed them before it
and crashed into others in its path
Harry Davis, whose home is near the
dam, was standing on his front porch
when he saw the dam break. He ran to
a telephone in his house and called up
the operators in Austin and also persons
in several of the mills lower down the
valley. He thus succeeded in warning
the operators. who had some time in
which to telephone to persons whose
homes were down the valley, and they
were able to reach places of safety on
the hills
The principal bank of the town. which
was located on the corner of Turner
street and the valley, was directly in the
path of the food. To the heroism of
Clyde Kaufman, she declares, is due the
fact that none of the money in the vaults
was lost.
LAS soon as Mr. Kaufman received a
message that the dam had broken he ran
to the Commercial Hotel and notified peo-
pie there" she said He then ran back
to the bank and shut the vault door
He had hardly gotten out of the building
when the water swept by carrying
houses and everything before it.
Many of my dear friends lost their
lives in the flood. Two people residing di-
rectly across the street from us were I'M
able to get out of their home in time and
were drowned
