BEAVERS DO MUCH MISCHIEF
Property Owners In the Adirondack
Are Uneasy Over the Situation
They Have Created.

Because the limited intelligence

property in the Adir0ndackS are wish

is to be done to stop the increasing
number of these willing workers from
decreasing the value and beauty Of
this famous region. The forest rangers

a writer In the Albany Journal. last
summer estimated the undesirable re-

nearly 600 beaver dams, and found
that an area of about 8,6S1 acres had

900 worth of good merchantable stand
Ing timber was being destroyed Con-
sidering that the number Of beavers,
now estimated at about $4,000 Is be-
lieved to be increasing about 5000 a
year, the damage bids fair to become
a serious problem. Not only do they de-
stroy valuable timber, but they are
steadily changing the character of the
Adirondack scenery along the water
courses and altering the shore line Of
the lakes; yet the region without any
beavers at all would not be the Adj

those who now 90 there to enjoy its
beauty like to find 1t. Time was when
the beavers seemed likely to vanish,
and the state took them under Its pro-
lection; now the danger seems to be
that they are so well protected that
they will eventually "come back" in
numbers out Of proportion to the
normal population Of beavers when
the Adirondacks were subject to the
conditions Of life In a wild country.

How Spiders Travel.

Spinning webs is second nature with
spiders. After they are hatched from
the eggs In cocoon, they cling to-
gether for about week. Then they
separate, but their legs do not carry
them very far. Facing the wind, and
standing on the tips Of their legs, the
baby spiders raise their abdOmens and
emit silken thread. The faintest
current watts the gossamer in the air
and when enough is let out to permit
Of aerial flight the insect drifts away.
When 1t wishes to land 1t hauls In
the thread. Wherever 1t lands 1t can
spin webs without the slightest in
structions from older spiders Older
male spiders seem to lose this gift.
There are about $50 species Of spi.
ders In America, but only two, the
house and garden spiders, are well
known.

Making a Citizen.

You make the citizen by giving him
Intelligence. He must learn to see
things as they are He must also learn
to see the possibilities and rise In
power to put them TO the test. There
Is no place for the coward in the march
or progress. We need men, "brave
men, who dare while others fly" And
this means they must have brains and
brawn with which to fight life's battles
and hold their own In the world. And
to intelligence we must add constancy.
II avails little to be brilliant If you
haven't the power to stick to your Job
until you make success of 1t. Per-
sistence Will help you win. when you
put your head to work. These are the
first things In the making of citizens.

together to produce it.-Grlt.

N ames.

Most men of high destinies have
high sounding names. Pym and Haba-
kuk may be pretty well, but they must
not think to cope with the Cromwells
and Isaiahs. And you could not find a
better case in point than that of the
English admirals. Drake and Rookie
and Hawke are picked names for men
Of execution. Frobisher, Rodney, Bos-
cawen, Foul-Wather, Jack Byron are
all good to catch the eye In a page Of
naval history. Cloudesley Shovel
is a mouthful Of quaint and sounding
,syllables. Benbow has a bulldog quail
1ty that suits the mans character, and
1t takes us back to those English arch
ers who were his true comrades for
plainness, tenacity and pluck. Ra-
leigh is spirited and martial, and sig
nif1es an act Of bold conduct In the
field. .-"Virginibus Puerisque,"

MUST HAVE SURPRISED czAR
John Randolph Had He Own Idsas Of
What 70 Do When Presented at
Russian Court.

When John Randolph, erratic Amer
ican statesman from Virginia, was In
Russia he was about to be presented
to the czar. Someone undertook to
teach him the presentation etiquette
Of the Russian court. AS minister be
was to enter the room and bow; at
the center Of the room he was to
pause and bow a second time, after
which the czar would meet him and
engage him In conversation. But Ran
dOlph was indignant at the thought
that anyone could presume to teach
him anything, and declared that he
knew all about 1t without being
shown.
The day Of presentation arrived and
Randolph entered the door Of the au-
dience chamber and bowed very low;
he advanced to the center Of the room
and bowed again very deeply. Then
he approached nearer to the czar took
off one gauntlet and threw 1t to the
right Of the czar, removed his other
gauntlet and cast 1t to the left OF the
czar. Next he pitched off his hat In
front, threw off his mantle, unbuckled
his sword and discarded 1t upon the
floor and then fell upon his knees at
the feet Of the czar. The court was
speechless and the car astonished.
However, the czar was equal to the
occasion. so he approached the pros
trate Randolph, required him to rise
and engaged him in conversation. But
the reception did not meet Rand0lph's
and within a month he
left Russia In considerable of huff
at what he deemed mlstreatment at
the hands Of the czar.

countries, such as Chile and the Ar

In other, places where Spanish is the
language, notably Cuba, the correct
word is "gomas." In Brazil, where
Portuguese is spoken, the name is
"pneumaticos.

1t has taken us 1000 years to learn
that cells, living In ponds and rivers

ocean, go out to sea, and lay eggs
which produce offspring that come
back In billions up the rivers from
which their parents descended says

scientist has now tracked down
these elusive marvels to the spawn

that enormous sea garden through
which Columbus first sailed to the

not the only nursery.
Upon Matching, the eel larvae drift
with the current, undergo marvel
GUS transformation, reach Europe,
swarm up the river, climb the banks,
cross dusty fields and parched mead
Ows to inland ponds and bitches, and
then settle there for the next seven
or eight years, when they swim back
to the Sargasso to lay their eggs and

Eaa. ( atlna Snakes.

A queer African species OF snake,
which lives on eggs. has a tonthlike
spike projecting downward ff"r Its
backbone just behind the head. which
Is tipped with enamel. When 1t swal-
lows an egg the latter passes down the
gullet until 1t encounters the spike,
which breaks the shell. Thus no part
of the fluid contents is lost, as would
be the case if the snake were Obliged
to bite the egg with its mouth-fangs.
