FACE TO FACE
WITH Two LIONS

Stewart Edward White, writing on
lion hunting in the September Amerl

They were about thirty yards
away; and sat there on their haunch'

expressionless yellow eyes. l stared

been forced to shoot lions with it,

lions very close. Also was quite

another cartridge in the barrel.
The moment she saw me she drop

thoroughly angry and came very fast.

A new EXPERT
MENT STATION
FOR UTAH

Wash ngton, d. c., Sept. 10, 1912
Secretary Wilson of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
decided to establish an experiment
station on the Manti National Forest
near Ephraim, Utah, for the study OF
grazing and water protection prob
lens. In fact bids for the construc-
ton of the necessary buildings have
been received and 1t is expected 70
have the station in working order be.
fore winter. Already the gathering OF
observations on the relations of eTo'
sion and run-off to the Forest cover
have begun.
The Manti Forest was chosen as
he site for this experiment statlSn
because it offers exceptionally gooi
opportunities for investigation pr1b
lens of practical value in connection
with regulated grazing. Ephram and
other towns in its neighborhood have
suffered severely from floods follow
ing violent transforms in the loun-
tains, and it has already been proved
conclusively that the overgrazed con
dition of areas on which the natural
vegetative cover has been seriously
altered is responsible for the fornia.
tion Of torrents and the rapid dis.
charge OF debris laden flood waters.
In recent destructive storm the we
ter ran clear from a part of the water
shed which was within the National
Forest, and in good condition as re.
suit of well regulated grazing, while
from the other areas 1t swept down
sand and boulders. One of the objec-s
of the study will be to learn how the
maximum of grazing use of National
Forest land can be obtained without
injury to forest reproduction and
streamfow.
The National Forests provide range
during a part or all Of the year for
81. considerable part Of the stock pro-
duced in the western states. Approx
lHdlely one anu OHe-Hdn HlllllOH Hedu
of cattle and horses and seven and
one-half million head of sheep and
goats occupy the Forest lands each
year. These figures do not include
nearly three hundred thousand calves
and over four million lambs and kids
for which permits are not required.
The experts of the department Je-
lieve that when the ranges which
were denuded by many years of i'm
proper use are restored to normal
condition of productivity it will be
possible to provide feed for much
larger number of stock without injury
to Forest growths or watersheds, and
both the stock grower and the con-
sumer of meat products will thus be
benefited. Consequently every effort
is being made to determine practic.
able means Of regenerating depleted |
ranges. All of the studies which are
about to be initiated have this point |
in view.

Use SALT ON ROADS

AS a general rule the roads in and
around French towns are tarred at
the commencement Of the summer In
order to abate the dust nuisance. 1t
has. however. been found that tar,
although excellent in the case Of
m~acadamized roads. is Of little or no
value where a lines exist and paved
street crossings intersect the roads
in every direction. as tarring cannot
be carried out on stones.
The authorities, baslng their action
on the w%ell-known hygrometrical
properties Of common salt, have made
a test of its value In laying the dust.
Twenty yards Of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with salt and then
watered freely. If the results are
satisfactory salt win be used through
out the town Of Havre, It being Inn
possible to tar the majority Of the
streets. as they are paved with rough

SQUIRRELS WONDERFUL LEAP

It is said hat every species Of tree
squirrel seems capable Of a sort OF
rudimentary hyine. or at least Of MAX
ing itself into E parachute so as to
break a fall.
One naturalist tells Of an occasion
when his dog freed a red squirrel in
a tall hickory that stood on the side
of a steep hill. To coserv- what the
squirrel might do when closely press
ed the investigator climbed the tree.
The little fellow took refuge in the
topmost branches, and then, as the
naturalist approached, boldly leaped
into the air, spread himself upon It,
and, with a quick, tremulous motion
Of his tail and legs, descended quite
slowly and landed upon the ground
thirty feet below, apparently none the
worse for the leap, for he rem with
great speed n escaped up another
tree.
A traveller in Mexico relates a still
more striking instance of the power
Of squirrels, partly to neutralize the
effect Of the force OF gravity when
leaping through the air.
1t appears that some boys had
caught a black squirrel nearly as
large as a cat. 1t had escaped from
them once by leaping sixty feet from
the top Of a pine tree, anC this had
led some of the lads to declare that
the creature was bewitched. To test
the matter the boys wanted to throw
the squirrel down a precipice several
hundred feet deep.
The traveller interviewed to obtain
fair play for the squirrel The pris-
oner was conveyed in a pillow case
to the edge of the cliff. and then let
out, that he might take the choice be-
tween captivity and the terrible leap.
The squirrel looked down the abyss.
and the backward and sideways. his
eyes clustering. his form %crouching.

cAT,s LONe TRlP

The story OF a notable journey Of
a cat from Kingston, Surrey, England,
to It's former home at Glastonbury. IN
Som~ersetshire. a distance Of about 1873
miles. Is now told. Ia April last a
cat. notified gray and described as
half Persian in breed, was sent from
Glastonbury. where It had been rear
ed. to the matron Of the Kingston
Nursing home. It was sent in a pack.
ing case drilled with air holes and OBJ
viously the animal had no opportunity
Of marking the points Of Its journey.
Soon after arrival at Kingston the cat
was lost and despite the most diligent
searching. no trace Of 1t could be
found.
The matron OF the nursing home
has received a letter from Glaston-
bury stating that the cat has found its
way back to ito old home. It ar.
rived emaciated and f%ootsore and APP
p~arently had walked the whole OF the
1873 miles. The letter describes the
cat on its arrival as "a mere shadow
OF its former self" and expresses the
belief that although terribly weak
through It's wanderings, It can be
nursed back to a healthy condition.

QUEER METHODS OF CHINESE
Pound or Pint Varies as Il May suit
Merchants Fancy-Way Of Count
ing Persons Age.

The Chinese rejoice in a wonderful
talent for inaccuracy in every detail.
For instance, a pound or pint varies
as it suits the merchants fancy. In
some parts you get half or a quarter
as much as you do in others for the
same price and measure. Then, again,
their way Of calculating distance does
not at all tally with Euclid. For in
stance, you are told from A to B is
four miles, but from B to A is eight
miles. If you ask how this Is possible,
you are told it depends from which
end you start. If you start from A it
is down hill, so much easier to walk
whereas. starting from B, you have to
walk up hill, which is much more ex-
erting and fatiguing-in fact, It is the
same as walking a longer distance
on even ground. This form of argu-
ment always amuses nearly as much
as the way the Chinese have of count
ing a persons age by tens. MY moth

Of pain. Think Of the pleasure
Of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen

life, are often only a matter Of a little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough har Is,

so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 81 L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample OF
each, with S2-page booklet on skin
