are asked to wedding before for

not prompted by cold calculation. but

Difficulty Of determination Is Exempll'
fled by the Case Of the Wolf
In Europe.

When man sets about Kidding him
self of entire species Of animals by
systematic persecution he usually
finds it difficult job Set price on
the head Of a wolf or woodchuck,
and the animal seems at once to real
tag the Importance of prolonging its
life.
The case OF the wolf in Europe is
a historic one. A price has been set
on the creatures head for centuries,
and yet there is only small portion
Of the continent from which the ami
NAL has been extermianted. The
Netherlands is free Of wolves, owing
to the character of the country. The
whole land furnishes not single
rocky den suitable for VOLTS lair;
neither is there a forest for the ami
mails shelter.
1t is true the wolf has been ex-
terminated from Great Britain and
Ireland. This result has been reached,
however, by indirect means rather
than by direct attack. The clearing
off of the forest left the wolf no place
in which to hide from pursuit. The
islands were too far from the conti-
nent for their thinned ranks to be re-
cruited from the mainland. In Spain
and France the wolf has at no time
been unknown, although price has
been set on its head for hundreds Of
years. The animal has developed
cunning in proportion as the pursuit
has become closer. Like the crow, 1t
has learned to take care of ITSELF

To Raise Perrxs Eraashlp.


Columbus. - Commodore Perry's
flagship in the battle of Putin-Bay,
the old wooden man-o-war brig, Ma.
CARA, that has lain on the bottom OF
the lake in Erie harbor for more than
century, is to be raised, rebuilt,
made seaworthy and taken on a tour
of the lakes during the early summer
of 1913 and later shown during the
summer at the Perry centennial at
Put-in-Bay.
This was one Of the important sub.
Jects determined at the meLIng OF
the executive committee of the inter.
state board in charge of the Perry
centennial. The work of raising the
old wooden ship and rebuilding her
was delegated to the members of the
board from Pennsylvania, who al
once announced they had funds on
hand to complete the work.
The location of the wreck is known
The wreck has been investigated by
expert engineers who have said they
would be able to float the vessel with
out special trouble and would guar
antee to do so. The members of the
committee were of the opinion this
would be one of the most interesting
exhibits that could be secured. Penn
sylvania representatives at the meet
ing said that state would be delight
ed to assume the burden of providing
this exhibit.
In the tour of the lake cities that
will be made by the old wooden war
ship, it will be conveyed by all the
war vessels on the lakes belonging
to the naval militia and also by any
that are brought to the lakes for the
summer during the exposition.

Should the supreme court decide
fayorably for the state by reversing

associations of the state will be
forced to allow the amount of their
surpluses to be placed on the respec
tive county duplicates. Since these
funds amount to many millions Of
dollars, the revenues accrUing in con
sequence to the public would be in
creased many thousands of dollars.

Hard to Destroy Species

very little help toward their contin-
uance from the well-meant efforts of
man to that end. In proof of this we
are told that there is an ancient act
OF parliament still in force in England
and Wales prohibiting the taking Of
eggs of certain birds. of which six
kinds are expressly named. In spite
Of this protecting law, four of the six
species have ceased to breed in those
countries. The indirect ways in which
such results are brought about are
shown in the destruction of the quail
in New Zealand. The birds once were
numerous; no one wished to destroy
them. But the land was burned over
for other purposes at seasons when
the eggs and young of the quail we're
exposed to destruction. and few
years brought the species to an end.
