About Hunting

About Hunting
Hunting anu shooting are often conduct
ed in other lands in ways strangely different
from ones preconceived ideas of sport,
writes w. s. Race in The London Daily
Mail. favorite method with the Japanese
sportsman is to hide himself in bush and
initiate the hen pheasant's call, which he
does very cleverly on a pea-whistle. When
any misguided cock who happens to be in
the neighborhood approaches to investigate,
he is added to the bag
This method finds it's counterpart in the
Far West, where the Canadian hunter uses
a birch-bark horn to attract moose.
The Chinese have a clever way of catch
ing wild duck. The trappers each armed
with large net attached to the end of a
long poIe lie hidden in long grass. Here
we have the genesis of the modern butt"
The heaters, working in long line and ut
tering ancient hunting cries, drive the birds
over the hiaden sportsmen, who net the low
fiers as they pass
The fishermen with his cormorant is an
other interesting sight in China. The bird,
which haA a ring round the base of it's neck,
is trained to dive and fill it's throat with fish.
The ring prevents the fish from passing into
it's gullet, and the fisherman, pulling the
cormorant to the surface, easily extracts
the catch from it's throat

Sea Mysteries
Mysterious disappearance seem to occur
in European as well as in American waters,
to judge by an account from the Hull corr
respondent of The London Daily Exchange.
strange mystery of the high seas-the
disappearance of German ship owner
named Andersen and a German ordinary
seaman named Semnelback-is occupying
the attention of Scotland Yard and the Ger

Three weeks ago the two-masted sailing
ship Anne reached Hull with only one man

FEebel, a German yachtsman and naval

| Guarantees Farmers
The house of commons, England, has
passed the second reading of the bill pro-
viding for repeal of the agricultural act. Sir
Arthur GriHith-Boscawen, president of the
board OF agriculture, explained that the gov

heavy fall in prices, which, If the agricult-
ure act were maintained would involve the
government in heavy yearly subsidy.
The agriculture act guaranteed minimum
prices to the farmer for his produce and was
| estimated to entail a subsidy amounting to
from 100000 to 100000 pounds
yearly,
