animals have been great nuisance 70

a Depredating Fowl.

A lumber firm Of Kansas City that
owned a good deal of "cut-over" land
in Louisiana converted the swamps
into rice fields. The venture was so
successful that in a few years the
company had several nibbles from
buyers. Because of their confidence
in the land, the members Of the firm
let the prospectors 90 down alone TO
make their investigations.
These men found everything as rep
resented except for the general dis
satisfaction of the negro tenants.
ayes, sir" the negroes invariably
said, ode lands fine land-raises frst-
class rice. Oh, yes, sir, dey pays good
price for de rice; but de ducks gets all
de rice!"
Whereupon, me would-be buyer,
realizing he was seeking agricultural,
not hunting, land, let the deal fall
through.
After repeated failures, the lumber
firm got wind Of trouble and started
some investigating on its own account
"Why, yes, you seem TO have a fine
plantation down there" a prospective
buyer admitted upon his return, "and
If could find any way OF protecting
the grain from the ducks. I'd certainly
invest. But the growers seem dis
couraged about it."
That night the president Of the firm
was travelling on the fastest express
toward the rice fields.
"See here" he said to the hrst
tenant, he met, what do you mean by
telling all the men send down here
that there's no money in rice? You
know you've had a bumper crop fOr

The LOcusta Have Gone.

This years brood of l7-year locuSts
is gone, and departing, left behind 1t
the unmistakable evidence OF its
visitation. Just as is the case OF men,
the evil that they did lives after them,
in the shape OF thousands upon thou
sands of blasted, withered twigs on the
trees, where the mamma locusts de-
posted the eggs which, seventeen
years hence, will emerge for a brief
season as winged, singing insects.
Unless one used a microscope and
looked closely, the locust eggs at first
could not be seen in the eashes made
in the bark OF the tender twigs- Now,
however, the eggs have hatched, and
soon the tiny, wriggly grubs will grow
so large that their bark incubators will
be too small to hold them.
If one of the deadened twigs IS
broken of and the splits in the bark
are opened, these little grubs can now
be examined. lhey are, appaTeI'!y
tiny white worms about a sixteenth OF
an inch long. Each cash contains its
grub colony, and often a single tvig
will have as many as 200 or more OF
them. No wonder the twigs die
However, no other damage is done to
the trees than the deadening of the
tender twies at the extreme ends OF
branches and limbs.
In the autumn these grubs, grown
too large for the confined space ir
which they incubated, will emerge and
drop to the ground to begin burrowinf
in for the long period Of development
and transformation.

The Glory Of Health.

Health is life. To drag round with
out it, as so many do in these days, haif
well, half ailing, unresponsive, weary,
inert, finding every duty task and
every effort a burden, is to be dead be-
fore our time, not 10 know the real
SAVIOR and spirit Of living.
The great positive, overwhelming
pleasures are few-they come to most
of US rarely, to some hardly ever; but
there are innumerdble little accidents
and incidents, agreeable moments,
casual glimpses Of delightful pos
sibiliY, that depend for their enjoy
ment wholly on the state OF mind in
which We meet them. Health, per-
feet health, and that alone, can coin
all those trihes into happiness. IL is
in that sense that VIC are 10 read Emer-
sons golden saying, Give me health
and a day, and will make the pomp OF
emperors ridiculous"
Evidently, then, to preserve health
is we'll worth our constant and unfail-
ing care And merely TO preserve Il is,
after all, comparatively easy. A few
simple rules and habits, faithfully and
instictively followed, suffice TO attain
the object. How far different a matter
it is TO regain health, when once lostl
Then We lavish money and time and
effort, too often in vain, TO recover
what might have been kept always
without any such sacrifice. IL we
had only known Yet il Is a curious
thing that excess OF care and thought
is as likely 10 be as injurious to health
as careleSsness. As the old poet said
OF time, the naturally healthy arc not
conscious Of their health until they
lose il.
II is another curious thing, and one
we rarely reflect on, how ignorant we
are Of all the processes that are daily
and hourly taking place within our
bodies. Scientific study may make
us aware OF what should occur In
bodies in general, but, although we see
with our eyes and hear with our cars
the minutes changes that 90 on in the
outer world and even upon the surface
of the body, the perpetual movements
and changes within us are as unknown
and unseen as the interior workings
OF the earth. And that is surely a
happy and wise indication Of nature
that she wishes us TO be healthy with
out knowing il.
II seems super1uous 10 observe that
it is one Of the first duties Of parents
TO teach their children the simple
principles and regularity, tenn
perance, self cor:ri-by which fhcs
cln keep health with little thought or
trouble. Yet, like other duties, il Is
too often forgotten. To be sure, we
should generally have 10 begin by
teaching the parents.
Doctor-My dear sir. it's good
thing you came TO me when you did.

Sponge Farming.

For years il has been evident tha
unless an artificial means of raising
sponges were devised the sponge fish
cries, not only here but in foreign
lands, must come TO an end. The new!
now comes that DR.. Moore, Of TIT
Bureau of Fisheries, which has lonl
been trying to find way TO save tht
sponge industry, has carried to a sue
cessful result his experiment with ar
tificial growing.
The majority Of persons think of thC
Mediterranean as the place from which
all our sponges come, and do not know
that the Gulf coast and key section o.
Florida is the centre Of sponge Ash
cry that gives employment TO severa
thousands workers, and has value
OF nearly a million dollars.
The young sponge is small, free
swimming organism that is carried
here and there by currents; ii grows
to maturity only when attached to some
hard, clean surface. II has few
enemies except man, but he is most
destructive. With the increased de-
mand for sponges, for which, despite
the ingenuity of inventors, no salts
factory substitute has been found, the
tendency to take the small specimens,
regardless Of their slight commercial
value, has been so strong that the bot
toms within hooking reach have rapid
ly become depleted.
Experiments that the Bureau OF
Fisheries conducted proved that it was
possible to grow round, perfect speci-
mems from small cuts OF mature
sponges in somewhat the same way
that a gardener grows certain plants
from slips. The method that DR..
Moore followed was to place the cuts
on upright wires attached to cement
base in sea water or directly on the
base itself. In less than three years
the sponges attained a marketable size
of five feet to six inches in diameter.
To the sponge grower the initial
cost is small, and the only enemies to
bc watched are poachers who are
anxious TO profit by his labor. One
firm in Florida has gone into the bust
ness extensively, with one hundred and
fifty thousand set-out cuttings.
In the early days of the sponge in
dustry in Florida, men and boys gath
cred the specimens while wading in
the shallow water close to the shore,
but as those readily accessible fields
were exhausted the method Of longing
was devised. That consists in tearing
the sponge from its bed in deep water
by means of three-tined fork with a
long handle. The site of the fishery
gradually was extended farther and
farther from Key West until it covered
the entire region OF the east coast to
Bay Biscayne, and later large area in
the Gulf Of Mexico north to Tampa
Bay.
To best conserve the fishery, the
Federal authorities have established a
closed season and require that all
sponges taken from the sea be at least
four inches in diameter. To enforce
those laws a revenue cutter patrols the
sponging grounds.

Reindeer to Provide Meat Supply.

Conversion or the arctic and suoarc-
tic regions of Canada into a reindeer
meat producing area is being consider
ed by the Canadian government and is
being widely discussed throughout the
Dominion.
A bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society recalls that reindeer
were not indigenous to Alaska and tells
the interesting story of their introduc
ton there.
"The story of the inception and
growth of the reindeer enterprise in
Alaska is very interesting and is not
generally known" says the bulletin,
which is based on a communication
TO the society. During an extended
trip of inspection of the missionary
stations and government schools in
1890 DR.. Sheldon Jackson, then gen.
eral agent of education in Alaska, was
impressed with the fact that the ma
tives in arctic and subarctic Alaska
were rapidly losing their sources of
food supply.
each year the whales were going
farther north, beyond the reach of the
natives, who had no steamships in
which to pursue them; the walrus
which formerly had been seen in herds
of thousands, were disappearing; the
seals were becoming exterminated, and
in winter the Eskimo had 10 tramp
ffteen to twenty miles out on the ice
before he could catch one. The
modern hunter, with his steam launch
es and rapid-fre guns, had found the
whales, walrus and seals such easy
prey that he was ruthlessly destroying
them. Also the wild caribou that the
native had easily captured before had
been frightened away and was rarely
seen.
"Not only was the native losing his
food. but what in an arctic climate is
no less important, his clothing as well.
The whalebone, the ivory tusks Of the
walrus, the sealskin and the oil had
given him means Of barter with the
Siberian traders across the strait, from
whom he obtained the reindeer skins
to keep him warm in winter.
"Dr. Jackson saw that unless some
thing was done at once the United
States would have to choose between
feeding the 10000 and more natives
or letting them starve TO death.
"The same moss which covered so
many thousands Of miles of the plains
of arctic Siberia was seen everywhere
in Alaska. The tame reindeer was
practically the same animal as the wild
caribou of Alaska, changed by being
dOmesticatcd for centuries.
"On his return TO the United States
in 1891 DR.. Jackson asked Congress
for an appropriation to provide the
money for importing a few deer.
Congress was not convinced OF the
wisdom of such action but several pri-
vate persons were~so interested that
they placed $1,000 at DR.. Jackson's
disposal to begin the experiment. The
first deer were brought over that year
1t was not long before the government
realized the Importance Of the move
ment, and in 1894 appropriated the
sum of $4,000 TO continue the work |
Later the appropriation was increased |
and BY 1900 amounted TO S25,OOO an
nually.
