DOGS ARE REAL DEMOCRATIC
They Share With the Small Boy Entire
Freedom From $noh-
bishness.

With the real boy dog Il very
much at home and entirely at its ease.
Perhaps IL IL happiest with "a crowd
of boys at their play, or starting off
on holiday tramp. That man must
indeed be Crouch" who has not
many times envied both boys and dog.
His envy IL sharpened by the refec-
ton that the dog knows and under
stands the boys better than H. himself
could hope to do.
The dog must be a bit Of tramp,
perhaps even rowdy, taking joy in
the rough and tumble Of life. Fortu-
nately few dogs are the worse for
their breeding or capable Of being
spoiled by education. They are never
snobs. 1t has often been Observed
and here is a point for the cOnsidera-
ton Of the students OF the canine ma
ture and social order-that dogs seem
to prefer what IL worn and shabby to
the spick and span. 1t is the same
with boys, who have natural repug=
nance to anything In the way of fur
niture and carpets that is too fine to
be used. There H. no better teacher
Of democracy than the dog, If he has
but half chance. And boys are apt
pupils.

OWL IS DAYLIGHT COWARD
But He Is One or the Most Dangerous
of Birds to Be Encountered at
NM Might

There are about two hume red kinds
of owls. Some are tiny owls: some are
big. eagle owls, % inches In length,
very fierce. and strong, ready to attack
man who goes near, able to kill
fawns and large game birds and to do
battle with the golden eagle. The cOur-
age of one of these golden owls de-
SertS it in the daytime, and then little
birds, led by a crow, may find it and
drive 1T into the open and tease and
worry 1t without danger to themselves.
But when night comes, and the bird
can see, only mighty eagle dare do
battle with it.
The hawk owl IL one Of the owls
which work by day. 1t is big and
strong and savage. There are owls
with great ear tufts OF feathers and
owls with none at all Some are snowy
white; others are notified. Some live
In holes in the ground with prairie
dogs and such animals, some make bur
rows for themselves. But most owls
live In hollow trees or in church bel
fries or other high towers. Among ~
many kinds Of owls there are some of
course that do more good for men than
evil.

SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRIct
Every Eighth Person or the PoPulS-
tion off the World Lives i'm the
Dark Continent.

Nearly one-fourth Of the earth's
land surface Is comprised within the
continent of Africa. It fl a. far around
the coast or Africa a. 1T II around tlle
world. Every eighth person Of the
worlds population lives in the Dark
Continent. The blacks double their
number every 40 years and the whites
every so years. There are 843 lam
guages and dialects in use among the
blacks of Africa. Only few Of tile
languages have been reduced to writ
inc. Thirty-five years ago tine export
OF cocoa from the Gold Coast amount
ed to $50 Today is is over $S,O00,OOO.
The coal fields OF Africa aggregate
100000 square miles; its copper fields
equal those of North America and Eu-
rope combined, and it has undeveloped
iron ore amounting to five times that
vi North America. Africa has 10000
miles of river and lake navigation, and
water powers aggregating 90 times
those of Niagara Falls.
If Africa had the same proportion
Of railroad mileage as the United
States according to its size, it would
have million miles of track instead
of the $4,000 miles now in operation.
One area in Africa unoccupied by mis-
sionaries is three times the size OF
New England, a second would make
four states like New York, a third
would cover eight Iowas, and fourth
~ lis times the size Of Ohio. Through
out Africa there is one missionary for
every $4,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent Is now
under European flags. France has a
colony In Africa 20 times the size Of
France itself. The British flag flies
over a territory a. large a. the United
States, and extends almost without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo, a
distance Of 5000 miles-World Out

SHOOTING FISH i'll GUIANA
Native Indians Still Adhere to Use of

Sport.

Although THE Guiana Indians all use
guns for hunting game, they still ad-

fish, and employ blow-guns and wour-
Rlf--pOiSoned darts for securing
birds and small animals. The bows
are usually of letterwOod, about I'VE
feet in length, and very powerful.
The arrows vary according to the pur-
pose for which they are designed; but
all are long-from five to six feet
with shafts of arrow-cane and shank
Of hardwood fitted at one end This
piece is tipped by steel point or
head which IL fixed immovably if the
arrow Is for shooting birds or small
fish; or, if used for killing turtle and
large fish, IL equipped with socketed
head, attached to long, strong, cot
ton line. When large fish A. struck,
the shaft floats free from the sock
eted head, which acts a. toggle, and
turns AT right angles when strain
is put on the line. BY means Of this
harpoOn-like arrangement the fish Or
turtle is hauled in. Neither fish nor
turtle arrows are feathered, but those
used In hunting birds are provided
with two feathers which seem fay too
small to serve any useful purpose.
With these simple weapons the In

the streams and eddies and with mar
