- NE of the latest applications OF
photography is for the study Of
animals amid their natural sur
roundings, and in the performance Of
their every day acts and tasks. The

delight 1t is coldly m~ethOdical in it's
uurderous pursuits. and while it serves
its master well, never firing in the
chase. and never shrinking from an at
tack. it exhibits no trace Of affection
or attachment toward its trainers, as
nobler animals dc. The ferret is a
typical killer and blood shedder. 1t has
no friends, and apparently wants none.
1t cannot be trusted, and VIII some

It likes to kill not for the SAX of
food. but for the SAKE of killing. h
mere act of taking the life Of another
creature is a pleasure to it. How it
got this bIoOdthfrsty strain in its ma
ture no one can tell Its appetite for
slaughter serves well in Kidding our
houses of rats and mice, but of what
use is it to the ferret to kill those
creatures? Its nature is that Of a
demon. and whenever it sees the life

Dover was a favorite Roman port
1900 years g and had a fort in the
4tb century. Later on it was one OF the
CiDuue Dorts which furnished the ships
to defend the English channel and in
return got so many privileges that
there was a waiting list or EngIlsnmeh

Since that day Dover has led a com
p%aratively quiet life. Its amusements
have been watching the tourists and
the athletes who attempt each year to
swim the English channel. 1t has been

the offensive smell.
Even Animals Flee.
An interesting fact is that other ami
mails find the odor of the skunk as IN
toIerable as humans do, and all Of them
flee from it. A horse ridden along a
country road at night is as fearful OF
a skunk as his rider Pecul1a conse-
quences flow from the perfection OF the
odOrfferOus defence of the skunk. 1t
has become one of the most leisurely
of animals-Iazy, s-lOW-mOVing 4
habituaIly fat. 1t doesn't have either
to run or to exert itself violently when
it is attacked. It simply shoots out its
terror breeding liquid. and its bOldesC
enemies take to their heels. COnse-
duently il leads a quiet, unwOrrying
life, raiding henrOOsts for eggs and
chickens and growing fat IN spite OF
the farmer and his dogs, either Of
whom would make a jump and a run
on coming unexpectedly into Its pres
ence.
Flesh Good to Eat.
Curious again is the fact that the

skunk fur has Of late years been con-
ing more and more into the market

Mr.. Taylor has lived a good deal Of

In not devoting himself to drama. Tay-
Tor then wrote a blood and thunder
production called The Brothers

later he took a solitary tramp through
the Yosemite valley n wrote "Yose-

This was in 1890. The play was
first produced in Billy Emerson's the

About h time came the golden era
