LIONS RoARS QUlETED WHEN
HUNTERS ARE ABROAD.
Facts Noted by Theodore Roosevelt
While In Africa-Has Belief That
the Sounds Are Method of
Signaling.

Lions are noisy animals where they
have not been much molested, but. for
some reason or other, IL they are so
hunted that their numbers are much
thinned, the survivors seem to roar
less frequently than formerly, writes
Theodore Roosevelt In Scribners Mag.
azine,
The roaring Is done at night, but
once In the Lado | heard lion roar
after sunrise. There Is no grander
sound in nature than the roaring OF a
troop of lions The old male begins
and the others chime in, at first with
low means, that grow louder and loud
er until the full lunged roaring can lit
orally be heard for miles. Then the
roars gradually die away into gasping
grunts.
The volume of sound Is extraordin.
airy and cannot possibly be mistaken
for any other noise If reasonably
close, but of course IL far enough dis
tant 1t becomes only partly audible,
and may then resemble the booming
of an ostrich heard near by, and In
thick cover the grunt or growl of q
lion, indistlnctly heard, may be mis-
taken for the grunt Of buffalo or the
occasional growl--T know no other
word to describe the sound--of an ele-
plant, a beast which sometimes utters
the queerest and most unexpected
noises.
II has been asserted that the lion
never roars when hungry, because to
do so would frighten his prey, and that
his roaring is sign that he is full fed.
This sounds. plausible, and yet as a
matter of fact | doubt If 1t is true. I'm.
questicnably, after successful chase
lions roar freely. I have most often
heard them between midnight and
morning But / have also heard regu-
lar roaring-not mere moaning or the
painting noise occasionally INDUCED in
by hungry, questing beast-soon
after dark. and this was persevered In
at Intervals for an hour or so.
am inclined to think that generally
lions are silent until they have killed,
but that occasionally, whether as sig
nails to one another or from mere
Pride and overbearing insolence, they
roar at intervals in their way through
the darkness from their resting place
to their hunting field. OF course, when
they reach the actual place where they
are TO hunt they become quiet. unless
they deliberately try to stampede the
animals by roaring or unless several
are hunting together. spread out
around herd of zebra or antelope,
when one may roar or grunt to scare
the animals toward the others.

HoNoRED HIS CANARY BIRD
Resident Of Atlantic City BuTies Dead
Pet In Style Accorded
Human Beings.

An Atlantic City resident recently
accorded either bird or beast. The lit
tie body was placed In a silk lined
metallic coffin. Then burial service
was read over the bird, setting forth
how the songster had brought happi.
ness and good cheer into the home OF
the owner through the influence OF his
silvery notes. There were tears shed
at the funeral and at the little grave.
A complacent sort OF an attendant at
the obsequies was the family cat, who
listened to the solemn words and
watched the little bundle of feathers
as he ruminatiyely stroked his whis-
kers. He had been the death of the
canary and would have had il eaten
after his first spring brought IL down
to the floor had not the owner inter-
vened.
A Cincinnati woman not long ago
buried her pet poll parrot with unique
honors. She had had the bird, who
was a create talker, speak into
h'opiAOpAphSt dAN IibaiOuHh W NiSlLOtn
the result was nothing but lot of
equawkings the owner insisted that it
was faithful reproduction of the af.
fectionate words uttered now and then
by the parrot. At the funeral of the
bird the woman had this record put in
the graphophone and turned out to sew
eral listeners called in to take part in
the obsequies. Then the record was
placed alongside the birds body and
buried with It. for the owner declared
she could never bear to hear her pets
voice again If she could not see the
bird In the flesh.
In Philadelphia some time ago q boy
who had a pet squirrel prevailed upon
his father to bury the entire cage of
the squirrel, running wheel and all,
when the little animal was put in the
ground.

Ideal Inspires Desire.

1t was some time ago that the high
est and truest ideal of the human
race were started
This is perhaps connected with the
fact that much Of our best safe guard.
ing comes from nature. For instance,
frequently a woman, even OF full
natural instincts, has no special desire
for progeny. Then a strong love
comes, and to what was only a vague
general idea before, that she naturally
would have children, is added a real
longing, an intense imagining Of how
pleasant a little creature would be.
and of what solemn and joyful pos
session it would be together. Desires
grow when the ideal surroundings are
prepared Nature takes care of Va.
She is often careless, but judge by her
best, and wonderful is she In har-
ranny and depth.-Hsrper's Weekly.

How Planets Came Into Being.

From the striking relation of PLAN
etary motions, a British scientist has
made the deductions that the planets
grew out of scattered material each
bringing the next into being by per-
turbation, with Jupiter as the starting
point, and the only planet with an
original nucleus. From the law OF
evolution worked out. It is concluded
that the nearest planet beyond Nep-
tune should be AIS as far from tho
sun as the earth. and comparable
with Neptune in size.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
cIsIIIn, rhur.d.x February s, 1913.


Once more the Farmers Institute
season is on, and the people Of Kan
sas are busy planning meetings. The
Agricultural College supervises the
work, assists in dating the Institutes
and co-operates with the various 10
cal and county organizations in pre-
pairing programs which shall be in
teresting and helpful. AS far as pos
sible the needs and interests of each
community are considered with the
result that every institute becomes
a conference of progressive faime S
and business men for the discussion
of live problems pertaining to agri-
cultural and rural life. Everyone is
invited to these meeting and to take
part in the discussions.
The institutes now number almost
four hundred organizations, with a
membership Of more than sixteen
thousand. They are becoming splen-
did conferences Of business farmers
and are a tremendous force for the
upbuilding Of agriculture.
The Institute at Claflin will be hello
on Thursday. February 6. Mr.. Geo,
C. Wheeler, Specialist IN Animal -Hus
bandry, and Miss Adah Lewis, Spe'
cialist in Home Economics, from the
Agricultural College will be present
In addition, local speakers who know
intimately the problems Of the com
munity, will give short addresses. The
meetings cannot help but be profit
able to everyone who attends. Each
one will learn something to assis
him over difficulties, to renew hi'
enthusiasm, and to raise his ideals o
life in a farm home. Come at II
O'Clock or earlier, when the first ses
sion is held, and stay for the whole
institute. Bring samples Of garden
farm and orchard products for exhibi
ton. In many towns it is the prac
tice to close all stores and business
houses for the entire afternoon whel
the institute is being held.

MORE FOR WATERS.

The Kansas State Board of Agri-

was adopted:
Resolved, By the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture, in its forty-sec-
Ond annual meeting assembled, that
it earnestly presents and commends
to the favorable attention of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson the name Of Henry
J. Waters, president of our State Ag
ricultural College, as that of a man
by character, education and exper.
fence peculiarly and pre-eminently
qualified for secretary Of agriculture
as the successor of Honorable james

ELEcTING A PRESIDENT.

Although few persons knew about
1t, President Of the United States
was elected Monday. Prior to that
day, Woodrow Wilson was not Off
cially recognized as having any stand
ing in the community. He was not
voted for in November. If he had
been killed after the November cleo
ton president could have been chos-
en- without any further action by the
country.
The formal election, under the law,
is held on the second Monday in jan
uary. On that day the electors chos-
en- in November meet in their respec-
tive state and ballot for President
and Vice-President. The result is sup
posed to be officially unknown, how
ever, until the second Wednesday In
February.
On that day congress assemblies in
the Hall of Representatives, with the
president OF the senate in the chair.
The presiding officer, to whom the re-
suit from each state has been formal
ly reported, then opens each envel-
ope and hands its contents to tellers
who announce the figures. At the
conclusion Of the counting the chair
announces the result Of the election.
The indirect method Of voting for
President and the provisions made for
the balloting and the counting OF the
ballots, are reminders of the time
when there were no railroads or tele-
graphs, and it took weeks to travel
from Boston to Washington.
1t is interesting to recall that the
provision for the electoral college was
the one feature Of the constitution
Of which the trainers were particu-
larly proud and to which nobody rails.
ed objection. 1t was the first to be
superseded. Indeed, it was unwork-
able. because, while the constitution
makers expected the great and good
men chosen as electors to select the
President, they failed to provide for
