forest service to the Department of
the Interior more than $500 900 acres
OF Indian forest land In California,

forest service and the Indian bureau
as to whether the profits from the
timber sales on the Indian lands,
which President RoOsevelt's order
made part of the nationtl forests
should 90 to the Indians or to the
forest service, the question was re-
ferred to Acknowledgement Wicker
sham, lie decided in favor OF the In
dians and in his opinion said that
Mr.. Roosevelt's order was not legal.
The timber on the land is worth, 1t
Is estimated, between Sl5,000,000 and
S2j 100000. The lands are parts of
the Mescalero Apache, the Jicarilla

Of the regulation that the most the
Board Of Health could lind as basis
upon which to rest its prohibition
the maintenance OF banana trees Is that
they habitually hold water In which
mosquito larvae are liable to breed But
counsel assert 1t to be a fact that ba =
mana trees habitually do hold water
In whisli mosquito larvae breed, and
ask the court to take judicial notice
of the fact. We may well take no.
tice of the fact that banana trees are
capable OF holding water. but It Is not
AN accepted fact that they naturally
and commonly hold water for the
length of time and under the circum-
stances required to breed mosquito
larvae. II Is urged that II the court
will not take judicial notice Of the
fact as requested, the prosecution
Ihould be given an opportunity TO
make proof Of II. But before a charge
can he entered under which proofs may
he adduced there must be valid reg
ulation."

Referring to eases that might he
cited, the court quotes from Blue V.
Beach. l55 Ind 121. 1871. as follows:
Every person affected by the rules
and regulations Of such board or
tribunal Is required to govern himself
In accordance with such rules and
regulations If within the scope of tho
authority granted by the Legislature
and adopted and published as required
by law"
The case of Hurst v Warner Is also
quoted as u good Illustration.

toned. It is, however, doubtful whether
these skulls may not belong to bull ter.
riers, or what were known as bull and
terriers
There is only one head of a modern
white bull terrier on view, and that was
presented by the famous naturalist, Mr..
Rowland Ward, in 1905. Mr.. Fred North,
or Mr.. Harry Monk and Mr.. Robert
Goelet, or some other noted breeder,
should give their next dead champions .
skin to such an institution so that changes
in form and type may be followed by the
student. The white color of the bull
terrier breed is, of course, comparatively q
modern feature, the older strains being
brindled, white and fawn, or even black
and tan. These colors are all Of the
bulldog proper.
Bred for fighting or for rat killing, the
original bull terrier appears to have been
a cross between any ordinary terrier and
the bulldog, with, in some cases, a slight
admi1ture of mastif blood. We are told
that the dogs which fought with lions in
WombwelTs menagerie at Warwick in
the year 1925, were large bull terriers, and
not, as generally stated, mastiffs; as were
also the dogs commonly employed in
fighting in England, and, of course,
America.
The old fashioned bull terrier not only
differed in color from the modern breed,
but he was also heavier and more pow
erful dog. The pugnacious disposition
is, however, retained by his modern white
and lighter representative. Mr.. Ward
sent a head of a white male which was
born in 1902.
The great Dane champion, Viking Of
Redgrave, must have been a very hand
some dog. He was golden fawn or or
ange in color, he had a rare make of body,
his ears were uncropped He was born
in March, 1899, and died in 1902. Viking
was bred by Mrs. H. L. HOrsfalI and the
skin and skeleton were presented by her.
Then there is the head Of the late Mr.. C.
F. Heritages dog. His Duke was said to
be the largest dog in England at that
time. He stood 35A inches at the shoul-
ier and weighed ia pounds. He died in
1901. Duke was a cropped, brindle col
bred dog, with a capital type Of head, al
though be must have had too much loose
skin about his throat
Mr.. Frank Adcock's Jupiter of 1885
The Washington herald., 1912-06-30
of the Irish Peasantrv

T is still believed by large numbers Of
the Irish peasautry that certain super
natural beings, which they call "elves, &"
exist, and that they sometimes visit the
abodes of mortals.
These elves are said to be but three or
four inches in height; they may make
themselves transparent or invisible at
will; they are reported to dwell in beauti-
full underground grottOes, and are sup
posed to play many mischievOus pranks
with human beings.
One of the customs attributed TO the
elves is that of coming down the chimney,
or even through a heyhole, taking chill
dren away and replacing them with witch
like babes, which are therefore called
"changelings."
The rural parts of Europe, as well as
of Asia, fairly TEEN with still lingering
superstitions not a bit less absurd than
that just mentioned. In many Irish dis
tricts implicit belief is still given to the
existence of "basshee," or female spirit
of the household.
Another supernatural being in ireland
is "Chericanne," who reveals himself to
mortals as a wrinkled old man and leads
those whom he favors to find hidden
treasures. A less benehcent spirit is that
of "Phooka," fierce demon, who hurries
his victims to destruction across bOgs and
over yawning precipes. PhoOka takes
many shapes, according to the supersti-
ton, but most often appears as an eagle
or . black horse.

Oriental ParagOnS of Virtue.

to his stepmother, as behtted a dutiful
child.
Another of these paragons was a lad
with q most sensitive skin who insisted
on sleeping without any covering at night
so that the mosquitoes should fasten on
him and not attack his parents, who
were thus able to sleep undisturbed.
One paragon, a girl, clung to the jaws
of a tiger that was about to devour her
father. The parent was thus enabled
TO escape, while the paragon was, of
course, devoured.
Rorashi, another of the paragons, de-
spite the fact that he was seventy years
old, continued to dress in baby's clothes
