Scott Naturalist Advises
Boys Not to Limit Walks

vises Edward f. Blgelow. the scout
naturalist, in Boys Life. '"rhat may

summer, but when the freezing wealth

swamps. But be careful. Even the cold
est weather sometimes leaves treach
erous places in the underbrush and In
other sheltered spots. Sometimes the
frost is only superficial even when Ice
on the open ponds is thick. A little

cover the riches and avoid the danger.

WATER LILIES FOOD
Seeds and Tubers Make Good
Stew With Meat.
Or. NJ. q. Gilmore Learns From In
diane Of Valuable Food Supply
Left Untouched.

Bismarck. N. D.-Tons Of food lie
peacefully undlsturbed In the hun
dreds of acres of water lilies through
out the United States. according to Or.
Melvin @. Gilmore, curator Of the
North Dakota Historical society, who
Il engaged I'm research work covering
North America to determine the possi-
bilities Of native products.
AS result of the first stage of his
inquiry, findings Of which were pub
lished recently in the thlrty-third an
nual report of the American bureau Of
ethnology, DIR. Gilmore declares devel-
opment Of Americas wild plant life
has been practically nil.
"In the 300 years that the white
man has dominated the western hemi-
sphere" the scientist asserts, "he has
not reduced to cultivation from wild
stock a single natural species except
to bring under semi-domestication the
pecan and certain grapes of the east"
In connection with this assertion,
DIR. Gilmore quotes the United States
crop report for 1916 as giving value
Of 100000 to crops Of this country
alone grown from plants first brought
under cultivation by the Indians.
He sees the greatest possibilities for
advancement In this direction In wild
fruits. nuts and roots. An instance Is
found In the "Nelumbo" type Of water
lily fiourishing largely in the ponds of
the east and central west. The seeds
and the tubers of this species are
good food. DR.. Gilmore declares, and
make good stew when used with meat,
particularly beef. Such stew was orig
inally concocted by the Indians, as
were many other dishes which. 1t Is
said. could be economically adopted
today.
"These uses of wild plants are no
longer experimental" the Investigator
says. "We could have learned all
about them from the Indians, but we
didn't go to them and inquire.
II have spent a number Of years
among them trying to learn more Of
their habits of domestication and mean
to continue the work while the older
Of the tribesmen still live to hand
down these lessons"

ern and southern herd. respectively.
The latter. which winters In the VI
cinity OF Jackson Hole, to the south
of Yellowstone park, Is the one for
which the department OF agriculture
Is seeking to make provision.
Ranchmen Slow to Part With Hay.
Reports have recently been received
from government representatives In
the region of Yellowstone national
park stating that many elk are des-
tined to starve If the present severe
weather continues and II no additional
supplies of feed are provided. On the
winter elk refuge In Jackson Hole the
department has I'm store approximate
ly 1900 tons Of hay which normally
would be sufficient to carry the south
ern herd through the winter. But cold
weather and heavy SHOWS came so
early that there Is grave danger that
the animals will be without feed be-
fore many weeks have passed. Ranch
men In the region are confronted with
a serious condition and are reluctant
to part with any Of their hay.
Largest Herds in Country.
The northern elk herd Is under the
supervision Of the national park serv-
Ice Of the department or the interior,
which Is also making every effort pos
sble TO prevent loss of these, animals.
These two herds are the largest elk
herds remaining In this country.
though at one time elk were to be
found in large numbers as far east
as the Blue Ridge mountains. These
animals. like the buffalo and antelope.
have now been reduced to mere
fraction Of their former numbers The
few herds that remain besides those
in the vicinity of the Yellowstone park
are relatively small. Loss of many
OF the animals in the larger herds
might he irreparable, say government
officials.

BONES IN "BLUEBEARD" HOME
Aided In Alleged SlayeTs
Crimes.

Paris.-Police officials investigating
charges against Henri Landru, the al
legged "bluebeard," who is accused OF
Staying a number of women and de-
stroying their bodies, claim to have
found about fifteen pounds of human
bones in house where he lived.
Among the bones was skull in a
good state Of preservation. Some of
the bones had been cut with saw,
the teeth of which left peculiar marks
which were easily recognizable. 1t is
said the saw has been found and that
marks made by its teeth coincide with
those found on the bone fragments.
Inquiry as to the operations of Ian
dru's wife, says the Eclair, shows that
she was devoted accomplice" of her
husband and "knew of everything he
did" 1t is also charged their children
aided in disposing Of property secured
by Landru in the course Of his al
legged crimes.

That the receipts from grazing
now exceed those from timber by
more than million dollars and form
SO per cent of the total receipts is
due, states the Forester, to the fact
that practically the entire forage
crop of the National Forests can, un-
der present conditions, be utilized
while the annual timber cut is but an
insignificant fraction of the sustained
yield obtained from the Forests or
of the total cut of the country.
With the stockmen paying more
than two and half million dollars
annually into the public treasury for
the use of the National Forest ranges
there is strong reason for the urging
an increase in Government expend-
itures to make the range more use
full to them.
The Forester points out that while
the receipts for 1919 were IT'S per
cent of those for 1915, the cost of
operating has remained practically
stationary. Some new fire funds
were appropriated but did not be-
come available until the last of July.
Unless higher salaries are paid the
foresters and more money provided
for protection, the maintenance of
an efficient organization will be inn
possible.

FOREST RECEIPTS.

The largest increase ever made in
a single year. is seen in the receipts
from the National Forests for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915,
which were greater by $7s3.4S4 than
in the previous twelve months. The
receipts totaled $4,362,l14 says
Chief Forester H. S. Graves in his
annual report just made public. To
this total the grazing business con-
tributed more than $2,600,000 and
the receipts from timber we're some
what more than S1,500.000.
Under act of Congress, nearly
a million and a half dollars of Ma
tional Forest receipts were turned
over to the various states in which
the Forests are located, for school
and road purposes, during 1919.
The Rocky Mountain District of
the Forest Service contributed $685.
1913 of the total received from all
National Forests of the country. Of
this amount, receipts from the Ma
tional Forests of the six states COM
prising the District were as follows
