possible that some of these could be crossed
with our American corn to advantage.
Eastern Bolivia may be one of the cotton
lands of the future The people have been
experimenting with seed from America and
Egypt, and they find that they can grow
cotton all the way from eight or nine thous-
and feet above the sea downward. Indeed,
some good cotton is being raised in the de-
pressions OF the high plateau OF the Andes
and on the slopes that lead down into the
valleys Some has been grown even at two
miles above the sea This is the case near
Cuzco Peru. When l called on the COVER
nor of that province and asked as to the ag-
rcutural development of the Andean re-
gion he told me that they were successfully
experimenting with cotton and tea. He
brought out some cotton bolls which he had
produced on his own farm near Cuzco The
staple was comparatively short, but the lint
was beautifully white and silky. That cot
ton was planted in January, and it was ready
for picking in August. The governor said
that tea did very we'll, and that he believed
the mountainsides lining the valley of Cuzco
might some day be covered with tea gar
dens So far, the bushes have been grown
only in a small way. The seed has been i'm
ported from Japan and China. The plants
are easily grown, and, as the labor used
costs only about 5 cents day, it is thought
that the business can be made profitable
one.
One of the reasons for the tea expert
ments has been the hope that it might take
the place of the coca shrub, which is now
being grown at comparatively low profits,
on account of the fall in the price of cocaine.
There are vast tracts in Peru and Bolivia
devoted to the growing of the plant, which
in its habits is not unlike tea 1t thrives in
the temperate regions of the western pla-
teaus. 1t is set out in plantations, and the
third year after sprouting it is ready to crop.
The leaves are then stripped from the shrub

and dried flat. They are then put up in
bags, and brought to the cities where they
are peddled out to the natives.
All of the Indians chew coca leaves, and
the demand for them is enormous. Every
farm hand has to have them, and an allow
ance of coca is part of the contract with all
the miners. The coca leaves are also ship
ped to Europe and the United States to be
manufactured into the cocaine of commerce.
Among the products of eastern Bolivia
are rubber and quinine. Bolivia has been
producing millions of pounds of rubber ev-
cry year and there are rubber camps scat
tered all along the tributaries of the ANA
zon Just now these camps are in bad
way on account of the competition, the rub
Der of South America is having with that of
Ceylon and Malaysia, which, although cult
waited, can be produced at a far less cost
than that of the wild trees of eastern
Bolivia
For similar reason there is also falling
off in the product of the cinchona tree from
which comes our quinine. Quinine is often
called Peruvian bark 1t first came from
Peru, but later from the trees that grow
wild in this country. For long time Be-
livia and Peru had a monopoly of the qui-
nine production, and in order to hold it they
forbade the sending of cinchona seeds away
from the country. However, some were
sneaked out and taken to Ceylon and other
parts of India. Plantations were started
there and within few years the Indian
quinine was competing with that of South
America Later still the seeds were carried
to Java, and now Java is producing most of
the quinine of the world. In the meantime
the prices have steadily fallen The bark
which in 1882 brought something like 81
pound in Bolivian money, now sells for
bagatelle, and the cultivated plantations
that were set out here are run at loss.

THE FIRST JAGUAR
CONTINUED from Page Two.)

equally well-marlled spots against his white
belly.
This was well-known jaguar He had
occasionally INDUCED in cattle-killing; on
one occasion during the floods he had taken
up his abode near the ranch-house and had
killed couple of cows and young steer.
The hunters had followed him. but he had
made his escape, and for the time being had
abandoned the neighborhood
In these marshes each jaguar had wide
irregular range and travelled a good deal,
perhaps only passing day or two in given
locality, perhaps spending week where
game was plentiful Jaguars love the water.
They drink greedily and swim freely. In
this country they rambled through the night
across the marshes and prowled along the
edges of the ponds and bayous, catching the
capybaras and the caymans for these small
pond caymans, the jacare-tnga, form part of
their habtual food, and big jaguar when
hungry will attack and kill large caymans
and crocodiles if he can get them a few yards
from the water
On these marshes the jaguars also fol-
lowed the peccary herds it is said that they
always strike the hindmost of band of the
fierce little wild pigs. Elsewhere they often
prey on the tapir. If in timber, however,
the jaguar must kill it at once, for the squat,
thick skinned, wedge-shaped tapir has no re-
spect for timber, as Colonel Rondon phrased
it, and rushes with such blind, headong
speed through and among branches and
trunks that if not Immediately killed it
brushes the jaguar off, the claws leaving
long, raSing scars in the tough hide.
The aguar will not NEEDLE with a big
bull; and is cautious about attacking herd
accompanied by bull but it will at times,
where wild game is scarce, kill every other
domestic animal 1t is thirsty brute, and
if it kills far from water will often drag its
victim a long distance toward pond or
stream; Colonel Rondon had once come
across horse which jaguar had thus killed
and dragged for over a mile. Jaguars also
stalk and kill the deer; in this neighborhood
they seemed to be less habitual deer hunters
than the cougars; whether this is generally
the case I cannot say. They have been
known to pounce on and devour good-szed
anacondas
In this particular neighborhood the ordi-
nary iaguars molested the cattle and horses
hardly at all except now and then to kill
calves. 1t was only occasionally that under
special circumstances some old male took to
catte-killing There were plenty of capy-
baras and deer, and evidently the big spot

available; exactly as in Africa we found the
lions living exclusively on zebra and ante
LOPEZ and not molesting the buffalo and do
nestle cattle, which in other parts OF Africa
furnish their almost exclusive prey In
some other neighborhoods, not far distant,
our hosts informed us that the jaguars lived
almost exclusively on horses and cattle.
They also told us that the cougars had the
same habits as the jaguars except that they
did not prey on such big animals. The cou-
gars on this ranch never molested the foals,
a fact which astonished me, as in the
Rockies they are the worst enemies of foals.
1t was interesting to find that my hosts, and
the mxed-blood hunters and ranch workers,
combined special knowledge OF many of the
habits of these big cats with curious ignor
ance of other matters concerning them and
a readiness to believe fables about them.
This was precisely what | had found to be
the case with the old-time North American
hunters in discussing the puma, bear and
wolf, and with the English and Boer hunt
ers of Africa when they spoke of the lion
and rhinoceros. Until the habit Of scientific
accuracy in observation and record is
achieved and until specimens are preserved
and carefully compared, entirely truthful
men, at home in the wilderness, will whole
heartedly accept, and repeat as matters of
gospel faith, theories which split the grizzly
and black bears Of each locality in the Uni
ted States, and the lions and black rhnos
OF South Africa, or the jaguars and pumas
of any portion OF South America, into sew
eral different species, all with widely diff
ferent habits.
They WILL moreover, describe these mag
mary habits with such sincerity and minute
ness that they deceive most listeners; and
the result sometimes is that an otherwise
good naturalist will perpetuate these fables,
as Hudson did when he wrote Of the puma
Hudson was capable observer and writer
when he dealt with the ordinary birds and
mammals of the wellsettled districts near
Buenos Ayres and at the mouth of the Rio
Negro; but he knew nothing OF the wilder
ness This is no reflection on him; his
books are great favorites of mine, and are
to a large degree models of what such books
should be- only wish that there were hun
dreds of such writer's and observers who
would give us similar books for all parts OF
America. But it is a mistake to accept him
as an authority on that concerning which he
was ignorant
In the next article Colonel Roosevelt will tell Of
some strange experiences while hunting along the
bank of the Taquary and of the remarkable bird life
of that practically UNEMPLOYED region.

Why the Bear Has a Short
Tail

There was once a bear walking In
o road. While he was walking he
met a fox with some fish In his
mouth.
Where did you get such nice fish
as those?' said the bear.
Why said the fox, Il have been
fishing"
viii you please show me how TO
fish," said the bear.
oh" said the fox, 81 can't show
nobody, but I'll show you because
you are such a great friend of mine.
You can fish better than me because
your tail Is longer. Now sit down
and put your tail In that hole and
when you feel it heavy pull 1t up"
So the fox said:
Il wish You good luck" and went
away. The sun was shining very
brightly on his head
Bye and bye sunset was coming and
the bear was still there. So after a
while he pulled his tail up, and what
do you think he got? It was long
when he put 1t in, and when he
pulled 1t out 1t was very short. So
he said, "Oh, wait until / catch that
old fox and the fox was curled up
In his nest.

In the past few years designs
more or less conventional have
taken the place of naturalistic flow
ers of decorating covers to be used
in the living rooms. Conventional
designs lend themselves to almost
any color scheme that may be har-
monious with the walls and drap-
cries, while q naturalistic design is
annoying if it is not carried out in
the colors nature gave to the origi-
al flower. Such a design as 14450,
for instance, would be equally effec-
tive developed in three shades of
blue, blues and dull orange, yellows
and browns, old rose and gray,
green or in practically any combi-
nation one may wish to use. En-
broider the leaves in fat unpadded
solid work or outline-stitch and
darning in the darkest shade. The
stems may be done in either outline
or fiat solid work in lighter shade
of the color of the leaves and the
roses may be carried out in three
shades of any color, using the dark

Walt is going to feed them through
the hole where the ink well goes in.
Frances seams kind of suspicious
WHARF, her mise are, and 2ice this
morning she got into the schoolroom
and meeowed all around Waits desk.
Walt said, Darn il, that fool cat will
give everything away, and Miss Pal
mer will maik me drown the mise"
but she didn't. No, she said when
sumbuddy LATED, well, you see how
kind Walt is to all, which is why even
Frances comes around WHARF he is"
Then she and Blinky Hammond come
and get Frances. Cats are foolish
things, or Frances would know it
was Walt that painted her black that
time, and would be afrade to go any
.Nhare near him. Probly 1t was the
mise tempted her, though.
