SHOWED INSTINCT OF SWANS
Birds Had Learned the Trick of Ring.
Ing Bell to Get Their Supply
of Food.

During a recent visit to the cathed.
raj city of Wells, in Somersetshire, a
Scotsman correspondent was witness
Of a curious incident. The Episcopal
palace Is surrounded, just as in olden
times, by wall and moat, the haunt
Of swans, ducks, and other aquatic
birds. The moat is crossed at the en-.
trance to the palace grounds by a
drawbridge with a battlemented gate.
way with towers. in one of which is
the gatekeeper's lodge. From a
bracket fixed in the wall of one of
these towers overlooking the moat a
bell is suspended, with a cord at.
tached.
One afternoon about five o'clock,
while watching the movements of the
various birds in the water, the CORE
spondent heard the ringing of a bell
and. on looking to see whence the
sound came, he observed that one OF
the swans was vigorously pulling the
cord evidently to attract attention. AS
no immediate notice was taken of its
efforts, the impatient bird continued
to ring the bell violently until there
appeared at the window Of the tower
the wife of the gatekeeper. who threw
out a quantity of food to the expectant
waterfowl.
On making inquiries as to the origin
Of this interesting episode, the CORE
spondent was told that number Of
years ago a daughter Of the bishop Of
Wells, being much interested in the
birds inhabiting the moat, taught the
swans to ring the bell at feeding-time,
at five o'clock In the afternoon. This
practice has been continued by success.
sive families Of swans down to the
present day, and 1t would seem, there
fore, as If the birds transmitted to
their offspring the knowledge that
when the cord was pulled the bell
would ring and that food would follow.

DEMAND FOR FURS ENORMOUS
That the Worlds Supply viii in Time
BE Exhausted May Be consld-
cred Certain,

The fur trade in the far north is
still on very much the same basis as
when Cartier and Champlain first
traded beads and knickknacks with
the wondering chiefs Of Quebec. A
million and a half dollars worth Of
merchandise goes north from Edmon-
ton, Canada. every spring to be ex-
changed for the two and half mil
lions of fur that come back in mid
summer and autumn. So far as the
fur trade in America is concerned.
the traders claim that there is no
perceptible falling of as yet; that, in
fact, more fur is being brought to
market each year. But in Russia, Ger
many. Japan and Australia there is
a general decrease in the supply. In
the past 20 years the worlds catch of
the IL most important furs has fall
en- of from five per cent. to 700 per
cent, while the demand for the more
expensive varieties has multiplied
enormously. The ceaseless effort to
satisfy this demand can nave but one
end, and 1t is only logical to expect
that even the great game preserves of
the Canadian north and Alaska will
in time be hunted bare.
