Wild Animals Have Become Tanned.
1t is astonishing how tame some
of the wild animals have become and
in some instances forest rangers have
actually made pets Of the black bears
The smaller animals have in meas

almost impudent in their appeals for

The Coyote.

The coyotes are numerous and not
easily caught They are a nervous
little animal and soon worry them
selves to death in captivity. In one
or two Instances forest rangers have
succeeded in making pets OF them.
and while they became friendly with
their keepers they would tug at their
chains and stink into their boxes
when approached by any other human
beings. The coyote Is clever little
beast when searching for food. Prairie
dogs are a special delicacy for coyote
pups and when they are to be fed
both the male and female start on
the hunt. Their methods of catching
prairie dogs show remarkable instinct.
The two coyotes go out together to-
ward a prairie dog settlement. One
hides and the other stalks forth boldly
among the dogs" The sight of the
coyote sends them to cover at once,
after which coyote number one walks
away. After awhile tho prairie dogs
stick their noses out and on seeing
their enemy In the distance begin to

The work of the Bureau has its
main sanction as the legal custodian

OF the fundamental character OF the
Investigation undertaken and the pre-
cision attained in such researches. In
all OF Its work the bureau aims to CO.

Not the least interesting of the ami
mails of our national forests are the
Rocky Mountain sheep and goats. The
latter are most extraordinary looking
creatures-~very stout and thickset,
with short legs. They have pure white
coats, very long and thick in winter

the Clark and Lewis expedition tells
of how when they reached the Big

known to seek shelter with the horses
The antlers OF these deer are very

The whole antlers are usually over two
feet long.
The virginian or White Tailed deer
Is another species which frequent the
national forests. The fawns are white
spotted little animals with soft gray
eyes. They are shy and by a peculiar
cunning or instinc, are able to take
care ~ themselves when approached.

The industries OF the world are be-
ginning to purchase fuels according
TO proper measurements--the amount
OF heat units contained. The large
industries are doing this to great
extent. and in view OF this demand for
heat measurement the Bureau Of
standards has q laboratory in which
instruments are standardized for test
ing the heat value OF fuels and other
substances.
Recently the Bureau made tests OF
so-called wooden. linen and silk ma
terials. The result was that one WOOL
en- blanket which was sold for IS per
cent. wool and 65 per cent. cotton was
found to be 3 per cent. wool and 81
per cent. cotton.
