Rabbit Skins Now in Great Demand.

In recent years several kinds of furs
formerly of so little value as to offer
no inducement to the trspper, have
been raised in price, and consequently
collecting them has been made profita-
Bile. Rabbit pelts, which are extensive
w used by hat makers, are among
these products, formerly rabbit skins
were Of virtually no value at all; eoun-
try boys eagerly sought the lair OF the
skunk and the raccoon and who were
even able to sell squirrel skins, thought
so little of the rabbit and made so lit
tie effort 20 dispose of the skins that
thew were seldom used except to form
pad on which they "knuckled down
in the marble game.
Now. however, rabbit skins are worth
something, and the country boy who
will devote his time to saving and mar
keting the skins of the rabbit he kills
should make a comfortable sum of
money. One big eastern firm alone has
announced that it will need 1000, 900
rabbit skins during 1920 and desires so
far as possible to obtain them from
American sources. The skins are usual
" sold by the pound, which will con
tain seven or eight skins. During the
course of the year many farm boys,
and even the occasional hunters from
the city. can acquire large numbers of
rabbit skins. which can easily be mar
keted-N. y. sun. Herald.

this announcement, the National Tu-

The Red Cross seal, which has been
the means of support of the voluntary
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis throughout the United
States for over eleven years. has raised
over Sl0,000,000 for this cause. In dis
continuing its cooperative relationship
with the American Red Cross, DIR. Liv-
ingston Farrand, the chairman of the
central committee of the Red Cross,
states that the circumstances make it
inadvisable to continue the use of the
name and symbol of the Red Cross,
but that the tuberculosis sea- to be
put out next Christmas time by the
National tuberculosis association will
be recognized by the American Red
Cross as the lineal descendant of the
Red Cross seal
Dr. Charles j. Hatfield, managing d.
rector Of the National tuberculosis as.
sociation, announces that the sale of
seals at the recent holiday viii bring
in gross return of somewhat over
81 100000. according to present reports,
thereby assuring a much larger war
against tuberculosis during the coming
year than has been displayed in pre-
vious years.
In statement issued to the newspa-
pers of the country, DR. Hatfield says:
"The thanks OF the National Tuber-
culosis association to the newspaper,

quately be expressed in words With
out your assistance we could not have
accomplished the significant financial

MILLERAND OPPOSES

1t Is Argued That There Is

London, Feb. 23.--Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Nitti are believed
to favor resumption of relations with
soviet Russia, although Premier Miller
and Of France is not inclined to agree
to any immediate action, according to
the Daily Mail
The newspaper says this problem
must be considered by the supreme al
lied council at its sessions which began
to-day.
1t is maintained by the Chronicle
that 'all candid minds must recognize
that, as no anti-bolshevik organization
exists any longer, soviet Russia is now

the risk of mourning the hostility of
the Russian government, and military
reprisals against the Let's. Poles, Ru-

the same time depriving the rest OF the
world of the Russian grain supply"
Similar views are taken by the Daily
News, which says; "Since there is not
to be war with Russia, there must be
peace
I'VE have TO make up our minds
frankly to resumption of relation"
says the Express. "There is only one

VERMONT TO TAKE
SOUTHERN TRIP
Call for Candidates for Battery Has
Been Issued-Clyde Engle
Coaching.

With the call for candidates at the
University of Vermont for indoor bat
terry practice, the work of whipping
into shape the 1920 baseball team has
begun. The prospects for successful
season are good and the university
feels confident that Coach CLYDE Engle,
the former Red Sox star, will produce
as good if not better team than the
one he produced last spring The sched-
ule for the coming season will be re-
leased soon, but a southern trip is
already assured. This trip will include
games with Georgetown university
the Catholic university, Lehigh and
Fordham, the games taking place the
last few days of March and the first
days of April.
An interesting feature of the man
agement this year is rain insurance
on its games. Under this new arrange
ment the management may insure
guarantees to baseball teams, if the
guarantees represent loss to the uni
versity in case OF rain. While this
form of insurance is in its early stages,
the indications are that it will be writ
ten freely on American amusements
this coming season. Under its terms
such a policy win pay the amount in
sured for the specified days covered,
on which the rainfall amounts to two
tenths of an inch or over. The rain
fall readings of the government wealth
er bureau will be final and binding for
both parties.

CLAIM DEMPSEY
FOULED WILLARD
English Sporting Experts Say Dempsey
Would Have Been Disqualified
Under English Rules.

New York, Feb. 23.--The marked
difference in the Interpretation and en-
forcement of boxing rules and regula
tions in this country and England Is
well illustrated in the impressions
gained from witnessing the film views
of the Dempsey Willard heavyweight
championship contest. The movies OF
this bout have been exhibited private
ly several times in the United States.
One or two pugilistic experts have
raised the claim that the pictures clear
ly show that Dempsey fouled Willard
in the first round by hitting the title
holder while he was down. They found
little support, however, for their
charges.
The same films viewed through Eng
lish eyes recently, brought forth sew
eral articles by prominent pugilistic
writer's who charge that Willard was
fouled not once but several times and
that under English boxing rules Demp
sey would have been disqualified and
ordered from the ring. The following
is typical English view of the af
IdlT as printed III one VI lHc must llu Il"

Willard was sent down no fewer than
seven times, but on three occasions he
was hit when still down" according
to the spirit and letter of the rules of
boxing in this country. Each time
Willard was put down Dempsey prac-
tically stood over him ready to strike
again and would have done so had not
the referee got in front of him and
pushed him away; but on the three
occasions specially mentioned Willard
was hit while still more than half way
to an erect position, and helpless to
defend himself After being sent down
for the sixth time, and while still
grasping the middle rope and strug-
Cling to rise, Willard was hit again
and again, until he half rolled, half
sank, to the floor in a neutral corner
for the seventh time. In England
Dempsey would have been disqualified
then, if he had not been when he com
mitted any one of his previous techni-
cal breaches.

PREHISTORIC TREES
CONVERTED INTO OPAL
Miracle of Nature Is Unearthed in
Nevada.

"In Humboldt county, New, in the
heart OF the great natural wonderland
| of the West writes II. T. Whitlock
curator of the department of mineral
ogy of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, there have quite recent
" been brought to light some wonder
full fossil remains OF trees. These are
remarkable not merely because they
are trees which have been turned to
stone, but because the stone is the
much sought after opal, which has of
late years taken high place among
the popular gems,
ITO reconstruct the process by which
this miracle of nature has come about,
we must 60 back many thousands of
years to the time when these trees
clothed the mountain, sides or shaded
the valleys over which roamed the
mastodon and the sabre-tooth tiger--a
landscape far different from that we
see to-day from the train window or
the pack horse trail. We must conceive
this country overwhelmed by some
widespread disaster POSSIBLY one of
the earthquakes which must have been
frequent in such volcanic region f,
which reduced the growing forest to a
swamp, and buried the tree trunks
under many feet of water soaked de-
bris 1t was then, when the trees had
become mere water-iogged snags, that
the process which converted them into
opal began, For the water which pene
trated to their inmost pores was not
the innocent fluid we are accustomed
to dip from wayside pond, but a
more or less heavily charged solution
of silica, probably heated by volcanic
action.
"Such mineral water, gradually, as
the woody substance of the tree yield
ed to decay, replaced this substance,
particle for particle with hydrated sill
lea. often preserving with wonderful
fidelity the cellular structure Of the
wood. Much OF the opal into which
the wood has been transformed is of
the variety called semi-opal; but some
of the colloidal silica has been deposited
as precious opal. and exhibits all the
beautiful and changing color of that
gem.
"A fine and highly representative Sc
ries of these Nevada wood opal replace
ments has been put on view in the
Morgan hall of minerals, in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, New
York City. Here all the steps in the
process Of transformation Of wood into
opal may be seen. Pittsburg Times
