lloNs RoARs QUIETED WHEN
HUNTERS ARE ABROAD.
Facts Noted by Theodore Roosevelt
While In AfrIca-Has Belief That
tho Sounds Are Method Of
Signaling.

Lions are noisy animals where they
have not been much molested, but, for
some reason or other, If they are SO
hunted that their numbers are much
thinned, the survivors seem to roar
less frequently than formerly, writes
Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's Mag
azine.
The roaring is done at night, but
once In the Lado I heard a lion roar
after sunrise. There 10 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.
ary and cannot possibly be mistaken
for any other noise II reasonably
close, but Of course If 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, indistinctly heard, may be mis-
taken for the grunt Of buffalo or the
occasional growl-I know no other
word to describe the sound-of an ele-
plant, beast which sometimes utters
the queerest and most unexpected
noises.
1t 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 II It is true. I'm.
questlonably, after a 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 a hungry, questing beast-soon
after dark, and this was persevered In
at intervals for an hour or 30.
I 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 a herd of zebra or antelope
when one may roar or grunt to scare
The animals toward the others.

It 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 vague
general idea before. that she naturally
would have children, 10 added real
longing. an intense imagining OF how
pleasant q little creature would be,
and OF what a solemn and joyful pos.
session II would be together. Desires
grow when the ideal surroundings are
prepared. Nature takes care OF us.

Erddicdfing DandeIions.

The use Of common salt for the
eradication Of dandelions, as RECON-
mended by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture is exactly in line
with my experience, said Professor A.
L. Peck, landscape garden specialist
at the Oregon Agricultural College.
"Salt is the safest, least expensive
and most effective Of the chemicals l
have tried, and inAicts less damage on
the lawn. l get best results by cut
ting off the dandelion stock about two
inches below the surface with table
knife, and putting a teaspoonful Of
salt directly on the cut end Of the root.

The possible value of larger po-

cost of living is further shown in the
classified reports of the greatest pota-

richand well-to-do classes in that
country eat but 3.6 bushels per capita

Gr0lCing More Potatoes
to Reduce Liuing Cost

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Aside from the many other ad-
vantages of growing larger crops of
potatoes in Oregon, the effect of thus
enlarging the yield on the high cost of
living has been shown by Professor
Scudder, agronomist at the Agricul-
tural college, to be promising. 1t is
pointed out that the per capita con-
sumption of potatoes in the United
States is but 2.6 bushels annually,
while in Germany it is 7.3 per capita.
In addition to this large use of pota-
toes las human food in Germany, the
Germans produce forty per cent of
their crop annually as food for swine.
About l9, 200, 900 head of swine are
annually fattened on potatoes in Ger
