Drainage of the zuyder Zee.

A great project is again before the
people Of Holland-the draining of the
Zuyder Zee. The sea, which, as every
one knows, is at the north of Holland
and covers an area of $4,000 hectares,
a hectare being practically two acres
and a half.
Just half a century ago a scheme to
drain the southern portion Of the sea
was first mooted and although it re-
ceived considerable support, the oppo-
sition was greater. but now an asso-
citation has been formed and a bill viii
be introduced into the chamber The
promoters see that with an increased
population means must be taken to
enlarge the country and this reclama-
ton of the sea is suggested as capable
of accomplishment. If the sea is con-
quered there are several lakes which
can be dealt with later

TO SAVE THE WILD LIFE
Movements to Stop Slaughter of Birds
for Frlpperles for Mllady's
Headwear.

An organization formed in New
York to propagate and to protect wild
life IN America is worthy of all sup
port. It will certainly turn it's atten-
ton to the slaughter of the birds for
millinery fripperies and PROMOTE the
adoption of salutary legislation such
as exists in New York state and other
enlightened communities. It will have
a great field before 1t in the protec.
ton and preservation of the big game
of the country that Is being reduced
to negligible condition by pot-hunt-
ers, despite state laws. 1t viii do
much for the protection of the smaller
game and the recreation of the for
mer ideal conditions in this country
with regard to its game supplies
Maryland, as one of the most i'm
portant game states in the country,
has wide sympathy in this or any sim
liar movement. 1t is a state. once re-
plete with the most alluring game,
that needs better sentiment to sup
port It's laws in order to bring about
a return of its game glory. The mat
ter is Of widest reach and the organic
alton deserves all success.
An instance of the unenlightened
manner in which the subject is at
present treated is instanced by the
corral and shipment to Canada for an
immense national park of the one re-
naming big herd of bufialoes in this
country. a herd privately propagated
and bought by the Canadian authori
ties over the head of the United
States. The new association will seek
to preserve game for hunting and
more than that, wild life for its OWN
sake.

lzAAK WALT0NS AID
IN SWELLING
TREASURY

BOISE, July 8.-Basing the per-
dictions upon the large number of fish
and game licenses sold in the state
during the past few months the athor-
tiles of the state game department are
anticipating a record breaking sale for
the entire year Of 1912
Owing to the fact that the licenses
sold during 1911 are in fun force and
eject until April 1, 1912, the sale of
1912 licenses does not begin in reality
until May and June. Another reason
for this is the fact that throughout
the state no trout fishing is permitted
during the month Of April and this
demand for Iicenes until the follow
ing month. May, June, July and
August are the banner months of the
year for game license sales, according
to records in the office Of the game
department.
All returns. from the license sales
during May have been received from
the different deputies over the state
and these reports evidence a total of
more than $4,000. AS yet only few
come in. but already there Is assur-
ance that the game license sales for
the month of brides and roses this
year will exceed $4,000 in the state.
claim that the record for the
entire year will be greatly in advance
of all previous years, particularly if

EFFECTS OF DRINKING TEA
Consumer of High Quality Teas Runs
Least Risk of Digestive Dls-
turbance.

The Lancet publishes a concluding
article upon tea which sums Up the
results of an investigation into the sub
jecs under the title Of "The Chem
istry, Physiology and Esthetics Of a
Cup of Tea"
The suggestion that an infusion OF
good tea consists chiefly Of caffeine
tannate is confirmed. It is pointed out
that when caffeine and tannin are in a
state of combination, neither being in
the free state, the harmful astringent
qualities of the tannin disappear and
the bitter taste of free caffeine is not
perceptible.
The teas of high quality yield as a
rule a simple infusion OF caffeine tan
teas must be regarded as the most de-
sirable from a physiological point Of
view. 1t Is interesting to find that as
a rule the expert faster picks out
these teas as teas of high quality.
Good teas, in short, according to this
inquiry. are those which on a five min
ute infusion yield only caffeine in the
form of caffeine tannate to the in
fusion and bad or Indifferent teas are
those which yield on infusion a tea
containing, in addition to caffeine tan
nate, either caffeine or tannin, but es-
pecially tannin, in excess. A good
tea may be made a bad tea, but bad
tea can not be made a good tea ex-
cept perhaps by very skilful blending.
Excessive infusion will spoil a good
tea, but even a short infusion Of a
bad tea may be as Objectionable as
an excessive infusion of a good tea.
On physiological grounds, therefore,
the consumer Of high quality teas runs
less risk Of digestive disturbance pro-
yided the tea is made properly.

Old Volume Sold.

Bunyan's copy of Foxes Book Of
Martyrs" was offered at auction at
Messrs. Sotheby's rooms in London
recently. There were only two bids,
and the book was finally bought in at
$4,000. The vendors were the trus-
tees Of the Bedford Literary institute.
The book was to have been sold in
London last May, the institute being
in financial difficulties. It was expect
ed to realize from $4,000 to $4,000
At the last moment, however. the at
torney general interviewed in order to
ascertain whether the trustees were
empowered with the right to sell the
look, and it was withdrawn from the
sale. After investigation the attorney
general came to the conclusion that
the sale could not be withdrawn, and
consequently the book came under the
hammer. A first edition Of Walton's
Complete Angler" published in 1868,
at 35 cents, fetched $3.50.

two kinds of dessert, and much moe,

that he and q friend made a bet as to
which of them would draw a head
best with their backs to the wall,
bet easily won by Michael Angelo,
for he traced a perfect profile where
as the other produced only waver-

further relates that the tool used was
