No Huntinu in Yellowstone Park.

The Yellowstone National Park is
our greatest federal reserve, says
the New Orleans Times Democrat. 1t
now contains 1900 antelope, 100
mountain sheep. about @100 bison
and numerous deer, elk, black bears,
beaver and smaller game.
For a new bison refuge in the
mountain sheep, about 100 bison
and the necessary Enclosures have
now been built. A herd of twenty-one
of these animals purchased a few
years ago for this Enclosure has al
ready increased to fifty-six, and be-
side these there are some forty or
more wild bison ranging in the park
at will.
There are more elk than any other
species of big game in the great pre-
serve. Formerly the greater number
of these animals left the park in
winter to feed in the lower ranges Of
neighboring states, but now they are
fed in the preserve during the cold
months and are becoming remarkably
tame.
In fact, several different species
venture close to the buildings of the
park and even upon the parade
ground of Fort Yellowstone. The eX-
pertinent with big game in Yellow
stone has demonstrated how readily
our big game can be saved from eX-
national parks or forest reserves.
authorize game preserve in other
national parks or forent reserves.
The hunting season in the Yellow
stone Park is always closed. No
firearms are permitted inside its
boundaries save those carried by the
military guard. If the civilian insists
upon carrying a gun into the park he
may do so by first having it sealed
against use.

Properties of Wines.

"a Misrepresentation about the
strength of red and white wines eX-
lists" said a Californian, because red
wine has darker. richer look, people
think it is more Intoxicating. The
opposite, really is the case.
Red wines are made by fermenting
grape juice, skins and seeds together.
White wines are made by fermenting
juice alone.
"In the skins and seeds there is a
lot of tannin. and red wine contains
much tannin, while white wine con-
tains none. This tannin, an astrigent,
closes the pores of the stomach and
prevents the alcohol in the red wine
from entering the blood freely and
going, as the saying is, to the head.
white wine-champagne, for IN
stance-has no tannin, and hence its
intoxicating properties are much more
keenly to be feared than those Of the
tannin- filled red wine. "-EXchange

paner From Cotton Stalks,

The manufacture of paper from the
fiber of the cotton stalk is one OF the
latest inventions which are said to
have passed the experimental stage,
saws the Boston Globe. 1t is asserted
that all grades of paper, from the
best form of liren to the lowest grade,
can be manufactured from cotton
stalks.
In addition to this variety of by
products. such as alcohol, nitrogen,
material for guncottOn and smokeless
powder. can also be secured in paying
quantities. Mills for the use of cotton
stalks in that way may become gen.
eral in the cotton growing states. 1t
is estimated that on an area of land
producing a bale of cotton at least
one ton of stocks can be gathered
Upon this basis from 100000 to
100000 tons of raw material could
be secured for the production of paper,
which would increase the value of the
South's cotton crop nearly $4,000
600.

A Japanese Bathroom.

A tiny space Axe feet. In 1t were
four objects-a stool to sit upon when
washing oneself before getting into
the bath, shining brass wash basin,
wooden pail and dipper, in which to
fetch the bath water, and the tub, says
a writer in the Craftsman.
The tub. like most private baths.
was round, casket-shaped and made
of white wood. 1t was perhaps 80
inches in diameter and q inches high.
A copper funnel or tube passing
through the bottom went up inside
close to the edge. This. filled with
lighted charcoal, supplied heat for the
water. The pipe was higher than the
tub, so the water could not leak inside.
A few transverse bars of wood fitted
into grooves and formed a protection
so the bather could kneel in the tub
without coming in contact with the
hot pipe.
The walls of the room were OF
white wood. with a slight slope and
grooved so the water might flow into
gutter and through a bamboo pipe to
the yard.
A moon-shaped lattice window high
up let in air and light. AS a provision
for more ventilation the two outside
walls for a foot below the ceiling
were lattice of bamboo Stats.
AS my eye travelled from object to
object | quickly sized up the cost For
the tub yen. and it would last indie
finitely; yen for the brass basin, so
sen for the pail and dipper, and 20
sen for the stool. Eleven yen would
fit up my bathroom, and l asked for
nothing nicer.

Brain Workers and Insomnia.

TIE man who works with his brain,
and especially the professional man, is
liable TO insomnia to a greater degree
than the man whose employment does
not make a big strain on the intellect.
The man Of business, whose work is
more or less routine. has a far smaller
demand on the nerve of his brain than
the doctor, who has to think out every
case at il comes along. and still less
the writer. whose work has to be the
coinage of his own brain.
One of the results of the big demand
which personal work makes on profess
sional men, and especially on literary
men, is that they suffer a good deal
more from insomnia than the oIdi.
nary man.

Result of Hiuh Collars.

That high collars tend to produce
nervour headaches among both men
and women is the most recent discOv-
cry of we'll known Viennese physi-
clan. says the Pail Mall Gazette. Quite
accidentally the doctors attention was
directed to the very high and very
tight style of collar worn by patient
who was always complaining of head
aches and giddiness. The collar was
laid aside, thus removing the COM
preston of the neck, and the patient
headaches and giddiness disappeared
Struck by this result the doctor paid
particular attention to the kind OF
collars worn by his headache pa
tients," and in very many instances
the change TO lower and easier fitting
collars brought immediate relief. In
the case of women wearing high stiff
neCkbands it was found that doing
away with these had a similarly tene-
fetal result The doctor declares that
nobody with any tendency to head
ache should wear high collars.

Record in Bread Making.

An Erdington baker, Herbert Pros
ser. has distinguished himself by rae
ing against time in the converting OF
a field of wheat into loaves. The en-
tire field was purchased by MI Prog
ser, and cut, thrashed, winnowed. and
baked by machinery. From the time
that the last OF the corn was gathered
to the moment of its withdrawal from
the oven in the shape of loaves. only
three and a half hours elapsed. This,
Mr.. Prosser claims, is worlds REG
ord. Five years ago a similar feat
was performed, but subsequent seasons
have not been dry enough to allow OF
its repetition.

MAKING A DEWPOND
An Old Method Of Securing Water,
Even in Drought.

Even IN drought.
There is still in England at least
one wandering gang of men who will
construct for the modern farmer a
pond which in any situation In a
sufficiently dry soil will always con-
tain water-mOre in the heat of sum-
mer than during winter rains.
According to an account given by
G. Hubbard in Boston Post, this water
is not derived from springs or rain
fall, and is speedily lost if even the
smallest rivulet is allowed to flow
into the pond.
The gang of dewpond makers COM
mences operations by following out
the earth for space far in excess of
the apparent requirements of the pro-
posed pond. They then thickly cover
the whole of the hollow with coat
ing of dry straw. The straw in its
turn is covered by layer of well
chosen, finely puddled clay, and the
upper surface of the clay is then
closely strewn with stones.
Care has been taken that the mar
gin of the straw is effectively protect
ed by clay. The pond will gradually
become filled with water the more
rapidly the larger it is, even though
no rain may fall. If such a structure
is situated on the summit of a down,
during the warmth of a summer day
the earth will have stored a consid-
cradle amount of heat, while the pond,
protected from this heat by the non
conductivity of the straw. is at the
same time chilled by the process of
evaporation from the puddled clay.
The consequence is that during the
night the moisture of the compare
lively warm air is condensed on The
surafce of the cold clay. AS the con-
densation during the night is in excess
of the evaporation during the day,
the pond becomes, night by night,
gradually filed. Theoretically. we
may observe that during the day, the
air being comparatively charged with
moisture, evaporation is necessarily
less than the precipitation during the
night. In practice it is found that
the pond will constantly yield a
supply of the purest water.
The dewpond will cease to attract
the dew if the layer of straw should
get wet. as it then becomes of the
same temperature as the surrounding
earth, and ceases to act as non-con-
ductor of heat. This practically al
ways occurs if spring is allowed to
flow into the pond or if the layer of
clay technically called the crusO is
pierced.

THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
Some Schemes Of Wildcat Promoters
For Parting the Two.


The fact that one of the firm OF
pseudo.bankers infesting lower Broad
way, New York, has been taking the
fools money for five years is an in
dication of it's success, says the New
York Sun.
Now half dozen mushroom bank.
ing" houses, with deliberately fur
nished quarters in New York, and
branch offices in all the larger towns
in this country and in Canada and
even abroad, are using this ingenious
scheme to sell spurious mining, oil
and manufacturing stocks.
A writer in Success declares that
the house most successful at the
game has forty branch Offices here and
abroad, besides agents in many
smaller towns. h brings out a new
company every little while and sells
the stock usually by the mail order
and agency system.
Years of experience have given
these parasite promoters an invaluable
Sucker list"-little investors all over
the country whose financial credulity
has not been shaken by repeated
losses. These investors
earners, country merchants, clergy
men, teachers and other professional
men-are reached through circulars
and letters.
The first stocks sold by this house
paid cash dividends for a while. and
the investors" who were doubling
and TRIPPING their savings bank in
comes spread the glad tidings among
their friends. The cash dividends
were followed by scrip dividends-in
some cases no dividends at all. The
stockholders who complained too
loudly were offered in exchange for
their unsatisfactory stocks other
stocks in new companies brought out
by the house.
A trust fund" established for the
protection of investors" is made up,
supposedly of sound mining Stocks and
when an investor gets tired of one
spurious stock he can send it in and
exchange it for something else. This,
of course, is just as spurious. but it
keeps the victim quiet for while.
He is advised to hold the stock
until the mine strikes the expected
bonanza ore, when the stock will
rapidly increase in value. In this
manner the house managse to keep
its dupes quiet for many months and
to sell them more stock besides.

Oldest Chemists Shop in England.

The Oldest pharmacy in England is
the quaint and conspicuous shop occu-
pied by Mr.. E. w. Lawrence on the
east side of the market place, Knares
borough. The shop was established in
1920, and many interesting particulars
of Mr.. Lawrence's predecessors are
preserved, including herbals, dispen-
series. and the like, of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. Against a
pillar in the shop are strips of leather
formerly used to hold quilts of quick
silver, and drugs worn as charms
against accident and disease. A pestle
and mortar are still in Use which
were worked by a dog when dogs were
employed to draw vehicles, turn meat
spits. and SO on.
