POWER IN THIS FLAsHLIGHT
Continued Experiments Have Resulted
in Development Of a Really Re-
markable Article.

From the pocket flashlight operated
by two or three dry cells of minute
size the battery searchlight has been
steadily improved until remarkable
results are obtained.
Some time ago there was devised
a searchlight of 500 foot range OPP
Grating on six or eight volts. More
recently battery searchlight has
been introduced with range of 1000
feet up to half a mile, operating on
six volts. Equipped with seven and
one-half inch adjustable focus, single
shell reflector, on recent photometer
test one of these searchlights gave
453 candlepOwer.
The combination of nitrogen-filled

GUARDS WOOL FROM MOTHS
New Preparation Said to Preserve the
Fabric From Depredations
OF the Pests.

A preparation has been discovered
in Europe which, it is claimed, makes
wool immune from the rayages of
moths. 1t is in the form of powder,
which, before it is applied, is mixed
in water with a small quantity of sui
phuric acid for all-wool goods, formic
acid being used for half-wool.
The wool itself is said not to be
affected by the application, and only a
few colors, very slightly. In case no
alkalies are brought into contact with
1t the wool remains moth-proof when
washed. Tests made with two pieces
of wooden cloth exactly alike, in which
moth eggs were placed, resulted, in the
course of six months, in the entire dis
appearance of the untreated fabric,
whereas the wool which had been
treated remained intact.

SEARCHES FOR WIFE AND FINDS
SHE HAS MARRIED ANOTHER

After trailing his young wife to
Miles City, F. w. Oapus, clerk of the
district court of Manning county,
North Dakota, was astonished to find
that she had only 48 hours before his
arrival become the bride of another
man.
Upon inquiry Mr.. Oapus ascertain
ed that upon arrival here Mrs. Oapus
had assumed her maiden name, Irene
Wilson, and had married Joseph Cog
gins, "a years of age, an employee of
Miles City restaurant where she had
secured work. The marriage license
as issued here gave the woman's age
as 8 and he rhome as Mandan, North
Dakota.
Oapus declared his love for his wife
had not been killed by her action, and
after conference Mrs. Oapus decid-
ed to return with her husband to
their North Dakota home and begin
life over again, leaving Coggins with
out wife. The latter, it is said, will
seek to have the marriage" annul-
led.

FIND PETRIFIED MONSTER FISH
AND SNAKE IN EXCAVATION

From time to time large fish are
caught in the lakes and streams of
Montana. Big snakes are also found
occasionally-but not so often now
as in pre-prohibition days.
In the days when the icythosaurus
roamed the land, however, they had
fish as was fish" and snakes that
were whoppers.
A few days ago workmen excava-
ting at the plant of the American
Refining company at Great Falls I'M
covered fish-probably the fore
runner of the Rainbow-measuring
six feet in length and with other dim
ensions in proportion. 1t was petri-
fled and with the exception of the
fins and thinner portions of the tail
was as perfectly preserved as though
it had been carved from stone.
At the same point snake, 80 feet
long and Is or 20 inches in girth at
the thickest part, was also unearth-
ed by workmen. Biologists who have
inspected the finds say that the
specimens had undoubtedly been COW
cred by the glacial drift and petri-

Civilizations Westward Advance Left the Trails White With the Bones
Buffalo, Which Slaughtered by Million

with the European buffalo, and
such is the aversion between these
creatures that they always keep
separate, even if bred in the same
pasture and raised together. The
American bison, however, breeds
freely with the domestic cattle and
in this manner propagates new
species that continues its kind.
The sale of buffalo hides reached
vast proportions in the 7O's. In St.
Louis one firm bought $4,000
skins in 1871. There were many
trading posts dealing in these and
smaller peltries. In Cheyenne in
1872 there was shed at the Union
Pacific tracks that measured Us
by 90 feet and 80 feet high that was
literally so packed with buffalo
hides that the walls bulged. Fort
Benton, Montana, sent $4,000 buff
fa1o hides to market in 1876.
Toward the end of the COS the
buffalo had divided into two great
herds-the southern and northern.
The great southern herd was the
first to go, being practically extinct
at the close of 1872. After that
date only a few Struggling herds
remained. The northern herd be-
came extinct in the early 80's. The
greatest slaughter of the animals
took place in 1872-73-74, when the
number slain ran into the millions.
Hundreds of the most famous
hunters of this country and Europe
visited the plains in the early 70's
to take farewell hunt before the
bison disappeared. The Grand
Duke Alexis, youngest son of En-
peror Alexander of Russia, with a
retinue, came with
party from St. Petersburg and went

of buffalo hides and bones, which
for a period formed the principal
commercial product of the plains
Many settlers, beset by crop fail
ures, gathered bones and sold them
to make living.
The buffalo in color is brown,
but the shade varies as the seasons
advance. 1t is in every respect a
peculiar animal, unlike any other.
"A characteristic of the buffalo is
that it never trots, but either walks
or gallops, and it usually travels
against the wind. It's sense Of scent
is SO keen that it can smell a foe
two miles away to the windward.
The best meat obtainable in the
early-day frontier towns was buff
falo. The markets of such places
as Atchison, Topeka, Leavenworth
and other Kansas towns, as early as
1857 and for some years following
were often supplied with buffalo
meat. The hump upon the should
ers was an especially choice morsel,
as was also the tongue. Rich, juicy
steaks and roasts of the buffalo
were unexcelled by any other meat.
Thousands of tongues were dried
and shipped east to the Boston and
New York markets, where they
were in great demand and brought
fancy prices.

terially from the buffalo of the old
world. At first view his red, fiery

Buffalo Made Possible the
Building of Pacific Railroad

The building of the first railroad
to the Pacific was made possible at
SO early a date because the buffalo
existed. From the mighty herds
the army of railroad builders drew
their daily supplies of fresh meat,
and thousands of the animals were
slaughtered for food annually while
the work of laying rails was push
ed forward. For a few years in
the 70's the railroads did an enor-

Last Buffalo East of the
Mississippi Killed in 1882

/
| The most conspicuous person en-
gagged in killing bison was Colonel
William F. Cody, whose soubriquet
Buffalo Bill" has been house
hold word for more than half a
century. In 1867 when the Kansas
Pacific was being built across the
plains to Denver, Cody, then a
young man, was employed at $500
a month to keep the army of work
men supplied with meat. He was
engaged in this work for Is months
during which time he killed on an
average of eight buffalo a day.
After 1860 few buffalo were seen
from the stage lines near enough to
permit of the passengers shooting
them, although thousands could
often be seen in plain sight out of
range. The buffalo soon became
shy and kept away from the trav-
eled road. The last buffalo killed
east of the Mississippi river was
shot in 1882.
The trading posts, and especially
those along the Platte river. made
enormous profits bartering for buff
falo hides. There were more than
a dozen of these within a distance
of 200 miles between Fort Kearney
and Julesburg, and about half as
many between Julesburg and Den
yer. Many of the shrewdest traders
in the west engaged in that bust
ness and acquired fortunes in a
short time. For a pound or two of
4 cheap grade of brown sugar or
an equivalent of cheap coffee they
could buy a buffalo robe worth
rom five to ten dollars at the Mis-
souri, river towns. The finest tan
led COW robes could be obtained
or twice that amount of sugar or

alo robes with the Indians was en-
