The Hunter and the Wind.

In hunting against the wind in open
forests more game Is passed than

evidently realize that the danger Is
over, though some. mostly the younger,
inexperienced animals, then sneak off.
Where game is very wild 1t is often In
such localities as have mentioned
only possible to approach them with
the wind by outdistancing the latter

4 kipiina Ansedote.

The old postman at Westward Ho,
near Bideford In Devon. and the scene
OF "Stalky & Co." is reported In T.
P.'s London Weekly as telling an In
teresting anecdote of Rudyard Kip
ling, dating from the time when Kip

Westward Ho Ii appears that Beck.
with, the aquatic expert. came to West
fard Ho to give IN exhibition from
the pier. which was crowded with the
usual summer sightseers and fair
sprinkling of boys from the school.
After some evoIutions in the water the
swimmer commenced a series of diving
performances, and II was after a SEN
sational dive from the top Of the pier
that the spectators were amazed to
see a chubby, stocky boy run to the
edge Of the pier and repeat the dive
with all the mannerisms of the expert
Inquiry elected the fact that the boy
was named Kiplng, and It is by this
incident more than any other that the
Bideford people remember the now ia
nous author.

An officer of liner once remarked
that most men seemed to be as igno-
rant about the size Of the sea as they
are of the distance between the heav-

The Pacific covers GSO00,OO0 miles. the
Atlantic 3OOOO,0O0 and the Indian
ocean. Arctic and Antarctic 100000
To stow away the contents Of the Pa
cific 1t would be necessary to ill tank
one mile long. one mile wide and one
mile deep every day for 40 years.
Put in figures the Pacific holds In
weight 94S. 900. OOO. 900, 600. DOC. 600 tons.
The Atlantic averages depth Of not
quite three miles, It's waters weigh
1876 900, 600. 900 900, 100000 tons. and
tank to contain 1t would have each of
its sides fortythree miles long. The

PLANT PUZZLES.
What, For instance. Guides the Vine In
Finding lite Support7

A plant that actually goes insect
hunting Is among the latest Of the sci
enti1c discoveries. 1t is known as the
sundew. Its leaves, covered with ten
tacles, close. In upon fly the moment
1t touches them and slowly strangle it.
This has long been familiay to the
naturalists, but 1t now develops that
the plant does not passively wait for
its prey. If fly aIights within half
Inch Of one of The leaves it slowly APP
proaches the insect until close enough
to lay hold and destroy, thus demon
strating the possession of some sort of
sense or instinct with which plants are
not usually supposed to be endowed
Something Of the same sort is mani
tested In that plant parasite, the dod-
der 1t terminates from seed, sending
out thin, threadlike growth, which
winds in and out among the grass
stocks until it finally approaches its
natural victim Then its growth is
greatly accelerated. In sense 1t fair
ly leaps upon its host and once there
not only fastens to 1t, but multiplies
with surprising rapidity.
If stake be driven within few
inches of q growing sweet pea vine 1t
will be observed that tendril drops
from leaf OF the plant in the direc-
ton of the stake. Forthwith the whole
upper shoot Of the vine bends in the
same direction, and very soon the ten
drill is able to fasten itself. The same
observation holds more or less true
with all climbing plants.
Vegetation of various kinds sends
roots through distances, sometimes to
be measured i'll yards, that they may
reach soil or water below. Science Is
asking II the sundew knows that the
fly is near.
Has the vine method OF detecting
the proximity Of its support?
Does the plant so situated that its
nourishment is lacking realize that faI
below 1t are earth and water?
An affirmative answer involves the
admission Of sense or instinct In veg
citation that corresponds to that in ami
NAL life. and yet those who have stud
led the matter most profoundly give
that very MISUNDERSTANDING.

The boat is recorded to have developed
considerable speed.
The fame of the Thalamegus still
lives. This loat, which measured 300
feet In length, forty feet in breadth
and sixty in depth, was said to have
been the most beautiful craft in an
ilnity and was used exclusively by
the emperor.

body of the Pope was removed today

Brussels Has Fallen
To the German Army
After Heavy Fighting

London Aug. 2O-Brusses is believed to be occupied

Bureau of the War Office and the Admiralty. The an
n0uncement follows:
"The bulk of the Belgian army was confronted by
superior numbers and has fallen back Communication
with Brussels has been difficult since early today.
London, Aug 2O.-A Reuter- dispatch from Ghent this
afternoon says the fighting between the Germans and
Beans at Aerschot of the most desperate character
The Germans took the offensive with infantry and machine
guns moving against the Belgian lines During the battle
two German aerOpanes lowered above the Belgian nes
The Belgians outnumbered, but made desper-
ate resistance The soldiers bot hsdes fought like
demons.
Major ellison, of the Belgian officers, had his
shattered by bullet but continued to direct opera

marked by vertabe butchery The front rank of the Bel
ian lines occupied by two regiments which had cov
cred themselves with glory at ege These hardened vet
bore the brun of the attack and for two hours

Louvain Is Abandoned
To Prevent Destruction

Louvain, Aug. 2O.-Louvain was
occupied early today by the Germans
The Belgian troops evacuated before
the advance of an overwhelming force
Of Germans, after a severe lombard
ment, the Belgian troops withdrawing
toward Antwerp.
A gallant stand was made by the
Belgians until the Germans unlimber-
ed their heavy guns and began a
crushing bombardment The German
gunners worked like demons loading
and firing the great cannon and the
roar of the artillery was deafening.
After the fight Louvain presented 4
terrible spectacle of the ravages of
war.
Dead and wounded filled the road
way and riderless horses, some of
them wild with pain, dashed across
the ground, trampling the dead and
dying.
The Belgains fought bravely, but
their courage was of no higher order
than that of the Germans.
The German officers realized that
the advance in the direction of Brus-
sells would result in heavy loss of life,
because of the large number of Bel
gains defending the town and because
of their defensive work and artillery.
But the German ranks did not falter
as they pushed into the whirwind of
fire which greeted them.
Advancing in close formation, the
ranks of the Kaiser's army were swept
with terrific machine gun fire. The
fields became clogged with dead and
dying, over which the advancing hosts
stumbled
The Belgian rifleman, crouching be-
hind their earthworks, poured out y
merciless fire, almost every bullet
striking its mark.
When the order was given to take
the Belgian works with cold steel the
Germans moved forward like hugh,

$4,000 a Day Added To
Valleys Butter Revenue

r To the men who are free from en-
cumbrances there is fair margin of
profit in the dairy business at %
cents, but it does not provide sufficient
revenue to make the ilstallments and
rents.
The result has been that for sew
eral months the dairymen of the val
ley have complained of hard times,
but now they will find in this added
revenue sufficient to lift them out of
their difficulties.
Taken in the long run, the dairy in
dustry is one of the most profitable in
the valley, and this is especially true
where men have built up the business
on their own land and have taken
PAINS to acquire lot of good cows.
