Antelope Increasing in Idaho.

T. p. Palmer, assistant chief of the
United States Biological Survey, has
written to State Game Warden Ben
Gray asking for estimates as to the
amount of antelope and moose in this
State The antelope are on the in
crease. according to information
which has been received at the office
of the Game Warden, particularly in
the Mackay district, where they have
recently been seen in large numbers.
Despite the protection on moose
they are still extremely scarce in
this State and are to be found only
in the few isolated valleys of Idaho
which have not been taken up by
ranchmen and where they are being
protected by the farmers in the hills
near by.
The antelope are increasing fast in
the State under the protection which
is Afforded, and 1t is said they have
Jared extremely well for the last few
years with the wolves and other

What Is q Mule?

A queer customs ruling relates to
that noble animal, the mule. An
American contractor took some mules
into Mexico for use upon some con.
struction work there, and upon the
completion Of the contract brought
the mules back to Texas The Gus
toms officials insisted upon his paying
duty, but the contractor claimed free
entry for the mules as articles OF
American growth returned without
being advanced in value" The Off
cials declared, however, that the board
of appraisers has sustained them
that mules are not articles" What
then, are they? If they are persons,
they are certainly entitled to come
back home. Since the decision that a
hen is not bird, the customs service
has got its natural history fearfully
and wonderfully mixed.

MONEY WEARS OUT QUICKLY.
Wastage Through Circulation on Brit
ish Gold and silver Coins.

1t Is the duty of each loyal subject
not merely to refuse gold coin that is
under a certain weight but to break
ii
Every person." the act reads,
who shall by himself or others, cut,
break or deface such coin rendered
to him in payment and the person
rendering the same shall bear the
loss"
But in spite of this act it is
risky business interfering with coins
which you may suspect to be under
weight or spurious. Some months
ago a Grimsby woman offered half
sovereign in payment of goods to a
local shopkeeper. The latter put the
coin in testing machine, and as it
broke in two, refused to take it.
The coin, however, was pronounced
by experts to be perfectly genuine,
and when the case was taken into
court of law the shopkeeper was
ordered to refund ten shillings to the
customer.
Money, both gold and silver, wears
out at startling rate. 1t is reckoned
that there is usually a hundred mil
lion pounds in gold coin in England,
a very large proportion of which is
locked in the strong rooms of banks
Yet of that which is in active circula-
ton the wastage is so great that dur
ing every twelve months seventy
thousand pounds worth of gold and
silver are rubbed off into fine dust

Quick Painting,

In the sidewalk over the extension
of the subway station at Lenox ave-
nue. and 125th street there is ven
tilating grating composed of remova-
BILE sections. each maybe three feet
long by a foot and half or so wide.
To paint this grating in place with a
bruc' would be slow work. The way
they actually do it is to lift out a
section at time and lay it in shall
low pan filled with paint, Thus the
section is painted all at once and top
and bottom in next to no time, and
then it is laid in another shallow
empty pan to drip.-New York Sun.
