fitted and the Value Of the
Breed Increased.

In the spring of 1921 the bureau Of
biological survey directed attention to
the fact that the blue foxes on some
of the Aleutian islands are deteri0rat-
ing through inbreeding, and that there
was desire ON the part of the ma
tives and others to secure animals
from the Pribilof islands for restock-
ing purposes.
In order to assist in building up the
blue fox industry of the Aleutians,
where climatic conditions appear to be
favorable, the introduction of new
blood from the Pribilofs was accord
ingly undertaken by the bureau of
fisheries, and eight live blue foxes
were placed aboard the coast guard
cutter Bear at st. George island Sep
tember Is, 1921. One pair went to
L. A. Lavigne, lessee of Unaiga Is
land; one pair to the Unalaska Native
Brotherhood, lessees Of Avatanak is
land, and two pairs to N. e. Boil
shanin, lessee of Kavalga and other
islands. The purchasers supplied
shipping cases and transportation was
at their risk.
All the foxes were received at Una
laska In good order and were prompt
A.placed on the islands under lease
II zthe various persons concerned. The
gffce charged for each animal was
SSS.12, this being the average realized
Tor Prlbilof blue fox skins at the sale
q st. Louis February q, 1921. The
amount received for the eight foxes
was $704.90; $5 was allowed natives
of the Pribilof islands for each fox
secured, and the net proceeds, amount
ing to $664.96, were turned into the
treasury Of the United States.--Fisli-

Scottish Gardeners Valued.

Scottish gardeners are being e1-
ported to all parts of the world. A
notable instance of the value in which
the Scottish gardener is held, Is the
engagement by United States mil
lionaire, of q Scotsman for his private
grounds, at a salary of 5000 a year.
Not many years ago the man was get
ting few dollars quarter In Lon
don. One of the superintendent In
a London park can record several In
stances of his men from across the
border getting very high salaries for
private establishments on this side Of
the Atlantic. There is one gardener
of Scottish origin in South London
park who says he has "mown the
grass in most corners Of the earth,
including remote parts of South Amer
lea. A high percentage of the gar
deners in London public parks are
Scots, and more than one supervisor
can boast of his clan.

Calls PaderewakI . Giant.

No one can ever realize how hard
Paderewski worked for his results.
Sometimes one hears Of the great
heroism Of the pianist who practices
six or seven hours a day. Time and
ngain l have known Paderewski to
keep on working until three and four
In the morning. often working four
teen to sixteen hours day.
OF course, only physical giant
could have accomplished this, and in
deed such was Paderewski. His en-
durance and strength were enormous.
When l was playing with him at Err
ards he insisted upon having chair
that was especially heavy.
This very physical power gave
Paderewski an enormous range of
tone color possibilities. Indeed. IL it
had not been for his enormous endur-
ance he could never have accom-
pllshed the work which gave him a
seat at the peace conference us the
foremost citizen OF Poland.-Harold
