About 1850 the last accounts were re-

entirely forgotten in the mother coun-

eolonists, on being thus cut off from
the world abroad retired into the in
terror or fiords and creeks, while the
Eskimos gradually settled on the is
lands, and that the latter defeated and
partly destroyed the remains of the

The features of the natives in the
southern part OF Greenland indicate
a mixed descent from Scandinavians.
In 1885 Greenland was discovered
anew by John Davis and found in

a series of exploring and fishing ex-

Clifford Cowett of this town has
started new industry. He will raise
foxes for the market He already has
about Is and plans to have many more
before cold weather. He was prompt
ed to enter this industry by his eX-
perience of about two years ago, when
he caught two grey foxes, which he
sold for about $500 He gets his foxes
for breeding purposes by digging out
family of foxes in the woods. He
finds the hole where the animals
make their home and then goes to
work with pick and shovel and his
dog to capture them by digging them
out. Mr. Cowett is a farmer and has
already been able to get a good sum
from the fox industry, though it is
