ANTELOPE BEING WIPED OUT
Despite Possession of Remarkable
Signaling System the Animals
Are Rapidly Disappearing.

The American pronghorn antelope is
approaching extinction. Formerly
roaming from the Saskatchewan to
Mexico, and east to the Missouri river,
it is now confined to a few hundred
wild animals and a few more in en-
closures.
Rowing creatures, easily the swift
est runners on the continent, living
mainly in the open, they have be-
come easy prey for long-range rifles
when fieet-foOted enemies were cas-
lily outdistanced.
Even their remarkable signaling
system has not saved them. Ernest
on-Thompson has explained how,
on approach of some strange object,
the antelope through set of muscles
raises with jerk the hairs on the
white rump patches on either side.
This flash shines afar like patch
of snow, and the message is read by
all who have noses to read, for With
the flash Of hair is liberated an odor
of musk from gland located in a
patch Of brown hair in the white
bloom.
The flash Is given and away they
go. II the flash is not seen their
keen sense of smell carries the mes
sage even over long distances.

MORALITY AT A DISCOUNT
Evidently Guide Had Learned wisdom
From Association With the Modern
Business Man.

Attorney General Daugherty SAID
at a dinner In New York:
"Theres a certain class of bust
ness men-a very small class, thank
goodness-whose honesty reminds me
of a fish story.
1.-TWO men with their guides were
fishing for salmon in Lake Sunapee.
The first mans bag of salmon was
the smaller Of the two, so he swiped
fish from the second man.
"But the second man caught him
I'm the act. He had the nerve, though,
to deny his guilt, and he refused posi-
lively to give back the stolen salmon
"a pretty bitter alteration fol,
lowed, of course, and it looked as II
there would be fist fight; but just
as they were peeling off their coats
the second mans guide-it was the
second man who had been robbed, you
know-the second mans guide drew
him aside and whispered:
"'Ah, let him have it, boss let him
have it. / got two of his"

What Becomes of Rainfall.

One ton of water to three pounds
of flour Is natures recipe for making
wheat bread, according to figures on
rainfall published by the bureau of
soils in the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
BY controlling the water supply in
irrigation, accurate measurement Is
possible, and this estimate is of the
minimum requirement. Many crops
need five. times as much water.
What becomes of all the water?
OF a ton of water falling on dozen
square feet of soil during the year,
about one-third sinks through and Is
drained off underground. Only a
little runs off the surface If the field
is well plowed. A little evaporates
Immediately and the rest Is held In
the soil. AS the surface dries, the
moisture In the soil soaks up by cap
Hilary attraction and evaporates OF
the surface. But by far the greater
amount is drunk by the roots of the
plants, drawn up into the leaves and
breathed back in vast quantities into
the atmosphere.

One Little Grain of Wheat.

One grain of wheat will produce
100 hexillion grains in the tenth year.
an agricultural professor told group
Of visiting farmers at the Pennsylvania
State college. He wasn't quite sure

but here is the way he wrote it: 10O,-
OOO, OO0, 900, 100000, 100000. There ould
be wheat grains enough, he said, to
string four billion chains of it from

crop of wheat, long before the tenth
generation, would be so large that the
earth would not be big enough to
provide space to replace the entire
crop.-Bucks County Daily News.

ON THE. ROOF OF THE WORLD
EnaIishman's Description of Life in
the Andes Mountains Makes Inter-
esting Reading.

In a recent expedition to Peru Mr..
Joseph Bancroft of the University of
Cambridge did some exploring in the
higher Andes and made some interest
ing discoveries, which are told in the
British Medical Journal.
At 10000 feet cows gave milk; at
1900 feet they gave little or none. AT
$4,000 feet there were no cows. At
1000 feet f1eas disappeared, though
lice remained so long as there were
human beings.
At these heights men have lived for
many generations, having become ac-
climatized to the rarefied air. Many
of them lived in chimneyless and win
dowIess houses; they had purely
communal system Of government, and
some Of their customs would hardly
appeal to more civilized races. When
native was very i'll, for instance, the
date of his funeral was fixed without
reference to his convenience, and an
official saw to it that he was ready to
keep the appointment.
1t was remarkable what loads the
people were able to carry at these
attitudes. A boy of about thirteen
would carry from the interior of a
mine a burden of forty pounds, ascend
ing a staircase with 1t from a point
$50 feet below, while full-grown man
would carry one hundred pounds OF
metal, yet the European was out of
breath If he carried his coat up a
slight incline.

WON OVER ALL HANDICAPS
Famous Explorer Conquered DISABLE
tiles That Would Have Daunted
Big Majority of Mankind.

The belated dedication of a monu-
ment to DR.. Elisha Kent Kane, once
famous Arctic explorer, is a re-
minder of an achievement quite as
remarkable as anything that Kane
did to add to the sum of knowl-
edge of the polar regions. This
was his mastery of physical handicaps
which would have daunted ninety
nine men in a hundred. He was
physically so frail that he was I'M
able to complete his studies at col
lege; he completed his medical edu-
cation at home, became a surgeon in
the navy, and while physician of the
American legation at Picking began
his career as an explorer which
marked him for fame. 1t is less
known than it ought to be that his
polar researches, important though
they were, constituted only small
part of his work. He succeeded in
descending into the crater of the Taal
volcano, though several able-bodied
adventures had failed; he fought
Bedouins in Egypt; he crossed the
island of Luzon on foot, and he made
an early study of Alpine glaciers in
Switzerland. All this and more he
accomplished before he died at the
age of thirty-seven, sustained always
by unfaltering pluck and by deter
mination such as few men possess.
