The Marksman Porcupine.
Circumstances to Be Considered BY
ScepticaI Naturalist.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In telling
of the target shooting of the porcupine
at Canada Lake your reporter has gone
little too far from the path of dis
erection. or else has shown very amen
table amount of transformation as to
what porcupine can or cannot do with
his spines or quilts.
Anybody who knows anything about
that animal should know that he does
not throw his quilts. but to have them
come out he must come in contact with
something, be II either an animal or a
wooden or other surface.

obtains from Germany the raw ma
terial for French industry. And out
Of this combination both Germany
and France have built up favorable
balance OF exports for themselves, a
thing which was seldom true before
the war. when the problems of credit
and foreign exchange presented a
minimum OF difficulty.
The latest figures for French trade
covering the first five months Of this
year, show a drop of 6,e16, 200, 00C
francs in the aggregate, but this Is
wholly due to the smaller imports
Exports increased by more than a
billion francs compared with the
same time in 1920.
The most remarkable feature OF the
report. however. is that an unfavor,
able trade balance OF nearly eight
billions of francs last year is con
verified into credit balance of about
half billion this year. The follow
Ing table shows how France has de
creased her food imports and turned
4,26S, 100000 francs of raw materials
imported into 5,5O7, 100000 francs OF
