TEXAS HAS ONLY 4DoeARoo"

The city of San Antonio. Texas.
boasts of being the home Of the only
"Dogaroo" in the world. or at least the
only one in captivity. The animal has
puzzled both Mexican and American
naturalists. The "Dogaroo" is owned,
and was brought from Mexico. by Don
Manuel Rodriguez. former Mexican
lieutenant under General Madero in the
Mexican revolution. "Brijida." as the
animal has been named. resembles .
dog in that she barks and wags her
tail, and her short front legs and large
stout hind legs bear similarity to
those OF a kangaroo. A pouch under
meath the animals abdomen resembles
the pocket In which the female kan
CARGO carries its young. The vegeta-
rian habits. typical of the Australian
kangaroo, are missing ard the animal
eats the same food as the ordinary
Mexican hairless dog, being exception
ally fond Of enchilados and tortillas.
The freaks mother is full blooded
Mexican dog. Its father is unknown.
Its mode Of locomotion is akin to that
OF a kangaroo.

sAAk-aorIs THAT SPEAK

An English bank-note expert has
recently invented a method that will
insure the paper currency OF that
country against forgery.
The principle of this invention lies
In the application to the edge Of a
bank-note OF pictorial" record Of
some specially arranged phrase. A
bank-note SO provided would. when
placed in a phonograph. reproduce this
phrase for the benefit of the bank
manager or the person disputing the
genuineness of the note.
Assume that the code phrase for a
c5 note is "E5 note" This would be
extremely unlikely. but would serve to
illustrate the point. A pictorial record
of the oscillations produced during the
utterance of the phrase would be made
and die cut capable Of reproducing
the peculiar wave lines. With this die
the edge of s5 notes would be per-
forated. The note then becomes. in
addition to unit in currency. phono-
graphic record of its own genuine
ness.

RICHEST SPOT IN CANADA

In Toronto. Canada. there are two
blocks on King street. between Yonge
and Bay streets. and Including the cor.
ners of these two cross streets. which
composes the richest strip OF property
in Canada. The land alone In these
two blocks is worth. on an approx.
mate estimate, $16.000.0O0. while the
buildings are worth $9.5O0.000. New
structures to cost s6.50o.0OO have been
started. or will be under construction
this year. Thus, including the natural
advance in land values that may be
expected, this 1900 feet Of frontage in
the heart OF the city Of Toronto will
have, by the end of the year. value
closely approaching s35. 100000.

COUNTRIES YET UNEMPLOYED

Perhaps one Of the most interesting
and least known countries on the face
of the globe and one which has. so far.
pretty successfully defied civilization
lies secreted among the Himalaya
mountains.
1t il presided over entirely by wo-
men. who are responsible for such
rude laws as are necessary even in a
lawless district. manage the AFFAIRS OF

Mormonism by possessing four or nve
husbands apiece. All the rough tasks
and menial labors are assigned to the
hfllmen. and mere man" Is Of small
account beside these Himalaya anna
IONS.
On a rough estimate, 1t is declared
that 100000 square miles. or one
eighth of the total land surface OF the
world are waiting to be discovered.
Some zoe. 900 of this lies in the Arctic
regions of the north. but among the
frozen tracts that form "Antarctics"
In the south, where Scott and his gal
liant followers were penetrating. near
ly 5000. 900 square miles are delegated
to the sole use of the whale. penguin
and other animals and birds of the
frozen zone.
In Arabia 1t seems that there is
tract of land unexplored which is near
ly five times as large as Great Britain.
Probably there is no more desolate
waste to be found In the entire globe
than that which 10 called the dwell
ing of the void" Not single river
is estimated to flow throughout its en-
tire 400. 900 square miles.
Although the famous Ell Dorado.
Peru. which set the Sixteenth century
ablaze. has never been unearthed. the
country might nttingly be called Ell

priceless stones which emanate from
there. Strange. wild-eyed men occa-
sionally descend from the mountains
and bring wonderful fragments with
them. But they refuse to act an guides
to those who would accompany them

1t is curious to realize that vast
parts Of the British empire have never
been seen by British eyes or the eyes
of any white man. Nearly a quaster Of
Australia is still unexplored. mainly In
the west. where the population aver
ages only one person in every 20
square miles.

MUCH sUsTENANcE IN THIS
"ourham Pie" Recipe Well Worthy to

among other recipes q very unique
one which was termed the Durham

good things that II 1t is not named

DEFINITE PERIODS TO PRuNE
Popular subject for Individual Dis
putes as Practically Every Month
Has Its Advocated.

The best time to prune trees has Al
ways been a popular subject for In
dividual dispute. Practically every
month in the year has its advocates.
This fact indicates that there may be
some truth In the old loose-1ointeo
rule that the time to prune Is when
the saw is sharp. At any rate. we
may infer that under certain condi-
tions, pruning may be safely done at
any time of the year. However. 1t Is
best always, even in the care OF the
home orchard. to lhave two definite
periods during the year In which TO
prune; once during the dormant sea
son. from November to April. and
once in the height of the growing
season, along in June.
Both winter and summer pruning
have their advocates. but the object
be the determining factor. as the ef-
fects OF the two is almost opposite
Winter pruning tends to check tho
growth of fruit buds, and encourages
wood growth. including the forIna-
ton of water sprouts. On tho other
hand summer pruning promotes the
formation of fruit buds. and checks
wood growth. Sometimes these results
are very marked. but usually are not
conspicuous enough to attract alter
tion of the grower.
There is always much more time
In the winter to do the work-an
important consideration on tho gan
eral farm. The men also usually do
the pruning better, and the brush
can be disposed of more easily. There
Is also time to paint over and care
for the wounds caused by the prun-
ing. But in early summer the wounds
heal better, 1t Is much easier to de-
tect diseased or dead branches, and
same waste growth may be saved.
The physiological effect on the tree
may also be much more satisfactory.
However. 1t Is not 80 much Ques-
ton of when to prune in most OF our
smaller orchards as it is the one OF
getting 1t done at all. While In many
cases summer pruning would prove
advantageous. yet the problem ID to
get the orchard owner to first see
the advantage of pruning even dur
ing the idle winter period. before he
can be expected to spend many OF the
busy summer hours at this work.

Insect sandow,

II you were as strong. proportionate-

you would be able to lift with ease
100000 pounds. For beetle can lift

Or. II you could jump about with
