QUAINT METHOD OF HUNTING
ehlnaman Uses Simple but Remark
ably Effective Device When He
Goes After Wild Ducks.

So far as we know, nobody really
catches birds by putting salt on
their tails but the methods adopted
in some parts of the world are al
most as quaint.
In certain parts Of China a num-
Der Of pumpkins are left floating on
the surface Of any pond frequented
by wild ducks, in order that the lat
ter may come to regard them as
harmless objects.
When the Chinaman wants a duck
for bis lunch he slips quietly into
the pond and places over his head a
pumpkin in which Sits are cut for
his eyes. He then moves gently
through the water until he is neal
enough to catch a duck by the feet
With a sharp jerk he pulls it under
the water, wrings its neck, and put,
it into his belt. The other duck
are seldom disturbed, and he goel
on until he has caught all he wants

aADIum IN THE SYMPTOM

One of the most interesting scien-
tiic discoveries connected with the
SimplOn tunnel is the existence in
the rocks through which the famous
tunnel was bored Of a surprisingly
large amount of radium. The
greatest percentage was found more
than two and a half miles from the
italian entrance, where every gram
of rock contained about one four
thousand-millionth Of a gram of
radium. The presence of such a
quantity of radium is thought by
some to furnish an explanation Of
the extraordinary degree of heat en-
countered in the tunnel.
