chusetts, and under governmental

be one of the most profitable ven
lures yet made in fishery research.
The establishment was founded by
Mrs. Scully's husband, who was in
terested in fish culture as a means
of recreation Mrs. Scully's gift was
prompted by a desire TO have the
plant maintained perpetually for
the purpose TO which it was original
ly dedicated.

RED DESERT or WYOMING.
Its Sand Dunes, Color Effects and
Sheep Pastures.

West of Creston is obtained the first
comprehensive view of the Red desert
Of Wyoming. A few miles north of the
railroad track is a great stretch Of
sand dunes. which extends a hundred
miles. from Green river to North
Platte river. The dunes, many of
them more than a hundred feet high,
sre constantly travelling with the pre-
Fai1ing winds in a general e~asterly
direction. If a few camels and an
Arab or two were added to the scene
the spectator could easily imagine him
self in the Sahara desert, Frequent
mirages. endless variety of feature and
wonderful cGloring make the desert
far from the monotonous stretch it
may seem to be at first glance.
AS the na1ne suggests. the dominant
colors are red-russet, brick red and
vermilion-but there is every tone of
gray and brown, with not a few shades
of green, purple and yellow. Unlike
the colors of an eastern American land
scape, those of the Red desert are not
dependent on the season, for there is
little vegetation to hide the coloring of
the rocks and soil.
Despite the sparsity of vegetable
growth, the Red desert of Wyoming is
a winter sheep range. The scattered
bunch grass" which looks so meager
and dry. is, in fact, excellent forage,
curing into hay where it grew and hay
ing a high nutritive value. In sum
mer, when the desert is dry and the
water holes are few. the sheep are
herded in the mountains, where water
is abundant and grass is green and
tender.
The earlier SHOWS, falling first in the
higher mountains and extending week
by week to lower attitudes, drive the
nocls into the rough fan range be
tween the mountains and the desert.
Here they are held until tue snow falls
on the desert itself, but with the first
heavy snowfall they are driven from
the foothills to spend the winter in the
open, where they find pasture in the
spaces cleared of snow by the winds.
The winds are not tempered here, but
neither is the lamb shofn, and Wyo-
ming winter winds make heavy wool
when shearing time comes.-Argonaut

Are you Il good American and do you

You are not superstitious and are quite
sure that one day is just like another
as far as national significance is CON
cerned? No doubt that is true, and yet
the Importance of Friday in American
history, as it has been worked out,
makes an almost convincing showing
for itself. We have not forgotten that
Columbus discovered the new world or
Friday, Oct. u, 1892. Did you know
that he also set sail on the sixth day
turn voyage on that day and that he
reached Palos on another Friday? In
addition to siY vital points in the Co
lumbus exploration, which were mark.
ed by Fridays. that day was carried
ver into IL national experiences with
England.
Cabot's commission from Henry VIII.
bears the date OF Friday. On that day
of the week the Mayfiower landed, and
on q much earlier Friday the town OF
st. Augustine was founded. One G.
Washington was born on Friday. anG
that day marked the Selling of Bunker
Hill, the surrender of Burgoyne at Sar
