ODD TRICKS OF THE BADGER
Even When Dog Gets Throat Hold He
Can Give Good Account of
Himself.

1t appears that the pelt of an adult
badger Is extremely thick and difficult
for q biting adversary to penetrate.
and so loosely does the skin cover the
body that the animal is, so to speak,
able to turn almost around In its
hide, says the Los Angeles Times.
Should a dog acquire hold on the
throat, the badger turns himself so
that the dogs grip is on the back of
the badgers neck, without having
loosened his first hold. Then the badg-
er secures a viselike grip upon some
vulnerable portion of his enemy, and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet, that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and dead
ly as might be expected in an ant
eater of the dark continent.
He who has removed the pelt of a
badger and is at all observing, does
not wonder at the animal being sharp
bitten and that he is able to hang with
bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment of its claws are noted.
Neither is it much of a mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil
so rapidly that half a dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him, for he
is mass of cords and muscles. par
ticularly in the neck, chest and shoul-
ders, very similar in physical construc'
ton to the ground mole.
The badger toes inward sharply
when travelling and always on the
walk, twisting here and there very
much like the movements of skunk
while if it be in winter he makes 6
business of hunting buried dormant
woodchuckS.
He is q fur-bearer of rather coarse
quality, and there is a great range Of
value in the pelts taken, all the way
from 10 cents to 81 or more, depending
upon the length of the coat. A badgel
is chiefly valuable when it has a lonl
coat, so that the guard hairs can b,
plucked and used to make Shawn;
brushes.

RAIN NOT DUE TO GUNFIRE
Harvard Professor Explodes the
Theory That Heavy cannonading of
Battles Causes Precipitation.

Prof. Alexander McAdie of Harvard
has some interesting things to say re-
garding the possibilities of man to
control the water vapors in the air.
He explodes the popular theory that
the heavy cannonading of battles pro-
duces rain. Heretofore q great many
people have firmly believed that the
concussion of the heavy guns in firing
shells shock down the raindrops. 1t is
true that volcanic eruptiOns may cause
rain, but it is not the noise but the
dust that is responsible. The dust par
ticles are cast high into the upper cur
rents of the air and borne around the
earth at that height. They facilitate
condensation of vapor and consequent
precipitation.
The volcano KrakatOa burst forth
once with particular intensity and un-
doubtedly caused rain in remote parts
Of the globe.
"Gunfire would have to be on a vast
ly greater scale than is at present the
case to cause rain. And as for the at
tempts which have been made to pro-
duce rain by bombarding the clouds, it
is enough to say that the claims and
statements made by the experimenters,
or shall we call them exploiters, are
not supported by facts. 1t is not es-
tablished that rain follows heavy bat
ties and excessive firing.
"Still 1t would be unwise to assert
that rain production is beyond the pow
/ er of man. Furthermore, so much that
appeared to be fundamental and basic
in physics a few years ago has gone
by the board that the physicist is, to
speak frankly, at sea regarding the
structure of the atom. We may not
shut our eyes to the possibility of cleo
trical action in controlling the
combination or agglomeration of mi
mute particles. Stranger things have
happened than that man should find
a way to master the water vapor in
the free air; and, for example, to dis.
sipate clouds and fogS"

When Greek Meets Greek.
Smith allowed himself ten brief sec
onds for a swift eye-measuring of the
square-shouldered, stockily built man
with a gray face and stubbly mustache
Sitting in the chair of authority at the
Brewster City National before he chose
his line of attack.
ave are not going to cut very deeply
into your time this morning, Mr.. Kin
zie," he began when the eye-appraisal
had given him his cue. "YOu know the
history of Timanyoni Ditch up to the
present, nnd-well. to cut out the de-
tails, there is to be a complete reOr-
ganization of the company on a new
basis, and we are here to offer to take
your personal allotment of the stock
off your hands at par for cash. Colonel
Baldwin has stipulated that his friends
in the original deal must be protected,
and"
"Here, here-hold on" interrupted
the bank president; you're hitting it
up little bit too fast for me, Mr..
Smith. Who are you, and whereabouts
do you hold forth when you are at
homer
Smith laughed easily. eff we were
trying to borrow money of you, we
might have to go into preliminaries
and particulars, Mr.. Kinzie. We are
not alone in the fight for the water
rights on the other side of the river,
as you know, and until we are safely
fortified we shall have to be prudently
cautious. What we want to know now
is this: viii you let us protect you by
taking your Timanyoni Ditch stock at
par?"
Kinzie met the issue fairly. 81 don't
know you yet. Mr.. Smith; but 1 do
know Colonel Baldwin, here, and
guess I'll take a chance on things as
they stand. I'll keep my stock"
The new secretary's smile was rather
patronizing than grateful.
"As you please, Mr.. KInzie, OF
course" he said smoothly. "But I'm
going to tell you frankly that you'll
keep it at your own risk. 1 am not
sure what plan will be adopted, but
assume it will be amortization and 9
retirement Of the stock of the original
company. The voting control of the
old stock we already have, as you
know"
The banker pursed his lips until the
stubbly gray mustache stood out
stiffiy. Then he cut straight to the
heart of the matter.
"You mean that there will be ma
jority pool of the old stock, and thai
the pool will ignore those stockholder:

Would Saw.

blebees do. And love them tool The
little dears! But I must tell you the
reason why I come up each year, even
though sometimes it seems so hard.
"Years and years ago I was planted
by a little girl-a little girl, Mary
Alice, who loved flowers and who could
always make them grow. And above
all the flowers she loved her red Hon
eysuckle best of all. She watched
over me. She gave me drinks. She
dug up the earth around my roots. She
made me so comfortable. And now,
when / come to think of it, for very
special occasion, she would pluck off
q spray of my red blossoms and wear
them.
"Now Mary Alice grew up to be
big lady-though she was never very
big. She always seemed like little
girl to me, for she was so dainty, so
small and so lovely. Her eyes were
very blue and her hair very golden.
But after the years went by each
spring, I noticed that silver was grow
ing In her hair, and then one spring
saw that 1t was quite white.
During all this time there were
other little children growing up-and
now there are some more. How they
do grow! Every spring see them so
much older and so much bigger. And I
always saw my little girl-fOr I
thought of her as that even when she
was quite, quite old-smiling at all the
little faces, and the children would
smile at her-never scowls-always
smiles. Somehow no one could have
scowled at Mary Alice, and I don't
believe she ever scowled at anyone.
For when her hair was white, her fore
head had no wrinkles.
''Every spring she would be waiting
for me. There comes my honey
suckle,' she would say. The last few
years it's been very hard to come up.
NY roots have lost their strength, but
have come along as best I could, for
I have thought of Mary Alice and her
smiles.
'Last year she was sitting by her
window and looking out at me. 'That
honeysuckle is as old as l am,' she
said.
"And not long after that missed
seeing dear little old-young Mary Alice
and her smiles when I waited my fra
GRANGE through her window.
"But one day I saw the other people
of the house and the children, too
looking at me. The honeysuckle that
she loved they said. 'Oh, we hope II
will keep on coming up each year, fol

Kinzie was smiling sOurly.

Wild Animals Scarce in swede,

The dWindling of Swedish wild ami
mails In the past half century is shown
by the fact that in the five years. 1861
to 1865, 532 bears, 556 wolves and 679
lynxes were killed, whereas from 1901
1905 only 62 bears, 146 wolves and 10
lynxes fell to guns. The real figures
for the bear were probably higher, but
those for the wolf are probably almost
correct, as the state bounty of so
kroner ($13.50) for each wolf killed
brings to light nearly all the killings.
The bounty formerly given for killing
lynXes is now withheld.
