Professor Snow was active in field work
he discovered in Wallace county, Kan

which had been considered one Of the
rarest insects in the world. There were
only two known specimens in existence,
and their value was beyond monetary
computation. Professor Snow and his
assistants collected about five gallons
OF specimens and offered to trade them
for other insects.
Museums all over the world eagerly
offered rare insects and in some in
stances whole collections of insects for
specimen or two OF the precious
Amblichyla. The average value Of the
insects at first obtained for the Kan
sas beetles was $25 Now, however, as
most museums have an Amblichyla or
two from the university, their value has
declined to 81. But by far the most
valuable exchange specimens in the
museum have obtained in exchange for
Amblichylae.

WILD GEESE HIS GUESTS.
Canadian Feeds and Tames Instead
Of Killing Fowls

That wild geese are shrewd enough
to know friend from foe and that If
you throw handful of feed at them
instead of thimbleful of shot" they
will lose their fear of man and make
their home within stones throw of
human habitations has been clearly
demonstrated by the experiments of
John T. Miner, of Kingsville, Essex
county, Ontario.
The history of the growth of this
flock furnishes an interesting exam
ple of what can be done to tame wild
birds. In 1904 Mr.. Miner obtained
seven wild geese. clipped their wings
and placed them on his pond as de-
coys, but wild geese were so scarce
that it was four years before any
others Joined them.
In the spring of 1908, II came,
the following year 32 and in 1910 as
many as $50. Since that time they
have been too numerous to give any
exact estimate, but probably about
1000 may be found on the premises
at a time. Since 1911 no shooting
whatever has been INDUCED in with
in the reserve. BY moving the feed
by degrees the geese have been coax
ed to come right up to the house.
Wild ducks also frequent the pond,
and some of these have been identl-
fled by aluminium bands bearing Mr..
Miners address. BY means of these
he has established the fact that they
return to his place every spring, or
if they fail to return, he has been
able to learn what happened to
them. One was shot as far away as
Paris, Ky. Those that return nest
in the neighborhood and bring up
their young before again migrating
Mr.. Miners experiments are a
striking illustration of how easy it
would be to conserve the migrating
bird life of this continent if only
refugees were provided where the
birds could remain for a short time
unmolested during their seasonal
flights to their breeding grounds and
back again.
