BAGGINe A HIPPO.
How IL Is Done and How the Flesh Of
the Animal Tastes.

Nb1 StUthtat ao@h0@s
There are two ways of bagging a
hippopotsmus, says writer In the
Wide World Magazine. and neither is
Justified unless the sportsman Is sorely
in want Of food. for It's meat is very
poor indeed and wants a good deal of
prepare tion to be palatable to any one
except the starving. 1t has taste /
can only describe as tishy, something
what beef would taste like after being
wrapped up for a couple Of days with
q Scotch paddock Of doubtful fresh
ness.
The hippo may be shot in water.
When mOrtally wounded he will sink
and will not reappear on the surface
for several hours, consequently firing
lookout has to be kept for tbe carcass.
If he Is only slightly wounded be may
charge. but more often he will fee and
die In the reeds to serve as food for
scavenger birds or crocodiles.
The other and more sporting way Is
TO shoot him on land. This Is, as a
rule. only possible at night or late in
the evening and early In the morning
1t would not be wise to find oneself
between the river and the wounded
hippo, for he at once makes for the
water by the shortest route, and he
goes 70 fast that getting out OF his
way requires pretty speedy feet and
great GOODNESS OF nerve

grows.
Every day, thousands of tons of
sand and dust are carried into the
lakes and seas by the winds. An in
conceivably great amount of mud and
sand is carried down by the rivers
and smaller streams and enormous
deposits of fine rock material are thus
being built up in the sea around the
borders of the land. In some places
this process is slow, in others quite
rapid. 1t has been estimated that the
Mississippi river alone carries enough
sediment into the sea each year to
cover PCS square miles to a depth of
one foot. Sea water contains large
amount of dissolved lime and this is
used by myriads of large and small
sea creatures to form their shells.
When these animals die their shells
drop to the bottom and the micro
scOpic ones and broken fragments of
the larger ones built up at some places
great deposits of cline mud"
The bones and shells of the water
animals and even the skeletons of
animals from the land which are ear
ried to the sea in flood times are
mingled with these deposits of lime,
mud and sand and in time are en-
tirely covered.
From the soft deposits thus formed
it is but step to their hardening in
to the solid rock that we call lime
stone, shale rock, and sandstone. And
so it is that the rocks did in manner
grow around the shells and skeletons.
These processes have been in opera
tion ever since there was water onthe
earth and animal remains have been
entrapped this way for countless ages.
One of the most striking changes
recorded in history is that of the shore
of the Gulf of Naples. During the
time of the Roman empire on the
shore at PuzZuoli near Naples there
stood temple. At some time between
the eighth and tenth centuries the land
began to sink, and continued to go
down until the sea partly submerged
the temple columns that had stood on
high land. The lower half of these
columns was greatly altered by the
sea and by myriads of little sea crea-
lures that burrowed into the hard
marble. AS time went on the sinking
ceased, and the land actually started
to rise again. Today three columns.
all that remains of Z once beautiful
temple, stand high and dry upon the
land. Such changes are taking place
along many of our sea coasts, but the
elevation and depression goes on very
slowly. Yet so extensively has this
gradual sinking of the land and its re-
elevation taken place in the history of
the earth that the seas have many
times extended over the interior of
North America. In fact there are but
few points on the continent that have
not been submerged at one time or
another and many parts of the inter
ior, including Wisconsin, have been
covered by water time and time again.

EARLY LIFE IN WISCONSIN
THE REMAINS or EARLY AGES.


| prepared for the News by the geol-
ogy department at The University
of Wisconsin.)
Many thousands and even millions
of years ago the land and seas
swarmed with peculiar creatures that
no longer live. Even within the
memory of man whole races of ami
mails such as the Dodo or great ground
pigeon, Steller's sea COW of the north
ern seas, and many other forms have
become extinct. Even the American
bison, formerly monarch of the plains
may soon become but memory. Yet
the history of these extinct animals
extending over millions of years, is
no more mythical and no less aceur-
ate than the story of the ancient
Egyptians. Indeed, where it is read
able at all, it is even more sure, for
the facts are automatically recorded
in the rocks and lack entirely that
element of inaccuracy which is al
ways present in some degree where
man is the recording agent.
The facts upon which the ancient
animal history is based are every
where at hand if we only look care
fully When spring comes and you
stroll through the valleys and over
the hills, by close observations you
will no doubt be able to find in some
OF the rocks what appears to be shells
of snails and other living animals.
Perhaps you have been fortunate
enough in your travels to find re-
mains that resemble limb-bones or
even complete skulls in the solid
rocks. The paleontologist, whose
business it is to study, describe and
classify such things, assures us that
these forms are more than accidental
resemblances. They are, indeed, the
actual remains of once living crea-
lures.
1t is just this sort of remains from
which the paleontolOgist builds his
pictures of former hosts of animals
and so accurate does he become with
long practice and careful study tnaS
he can not only tell in what geolOgi-
cal age the creatures lived, but he can
picture what they looked like and in
many cases tell even the most minute
details of their habits.
1t is interesting to note the atti-
tude of the ancients, and even our
less remote ancestors toward these
remains, or fossils as they are called.
Some have thought them accidental
resemblances, others creatures that
persisted in the great Biblical flood.
Still others considered them undesir-
able patterns or models rejected by
the Creator. More common interpre-
tations held that these fossils were
creatures that burrowed in the rock,
or that the rock actually grew about
them, thus entrapping the animals.
The latter explanation is the more
nearly correct, for the rocks did grow
in sense; but they grew after man
ner far different from the way ordi-
narily meant when we say thing

STAMPS VISITED BY $l5O,OOO FIRE
Cormissary and Warehouse of Bod
 cav Lbr. Co. Are Destroyed.

amps, Nov. 20.--Fire of unknown origin early this morning destroyed the commissary and a warehouse be- longing to the Bodcaw Lumber Com pany, causing loss of more than $150.000 The company carried about S1OO,OOO insurance on the buildings aid contents.
 Between 3 and o'clock this morn ing the night watchman, who was in the commissary building. heard . cracking noise in the adjoining ware house just across railroad siding. Wien he reached the warehouse 1t was almost enveloped in flames. Before he could arouse the community the flames had spread to the commissary.
 William Buchanan, Texarkana, the president of the Bodcaw Lumber Com pany, does not believe the fire was of incendiary origin. The warehouse was used for storing commissary sup plies. He believes the blaze originat- ed from a spontaneous combustion. In the east end of the building. where the blaze started, great quantity of articles was closely stored.
 MT. Buchanan says the company will begin at once to rebuild. The one story frame structures will be probab- ly be replaced with up-to-date brick buildings.

The flames had spread and got ten into the ceiling above from large pile O. tables, chairs, flags ani other litter in the hallway on the floor. The officials and citizens to arrive first had almost extinguished the fire in the hall when the fire hose arrived and had been extended to the fire. A hole was quickly broken through the plas,- CT in the ceiling and men with the hose climbed through the ceiling anc the water turned on. Soon the entire ceiling was drenched and torrents of water was pouring down into the off, ces and halls, and the last lingering blaze extinguished. As an extra pre- caution the officials had removed all the records from the vaults. Some of the books in the A. I. c. library werc damaged as we'll as the furniture
 The fire seemed to have started in the pile of furniture and other litter in the hall in front of the club room, and how it started is a mystery. There was a flue near the room which it could have caught from, but it seemed to be in good shape. It was possible that the fire might have been started by 6. rac with matches.
 It was the general opinion that the entire building would have been des- rroyed but for the timely arrival of thc fre department. The water pres sure even at the top of the building vas strong.
