BEAVERS IN PARK
ARE INCREASING
ATTRIBUTED PARTLY TO REDUC-
TION In NUMBER OF COYOTES
AND WOLVES
Scientific Study Continued This Year
by Edward r. Warren, Naturalist,
of Syracuse, N. "; Writes Book
Describing Animals Marvellous En-
gineering.

A substantial increase in the bea-
yer population of the Yellowstone
National park is reported from many
quarters this summer. Some of the
have been abandoned, but there is
new activity in many areas.
A scientific study of beavers in for
mer years was continued this year
by Edward r. Warren, naturalist of
the Roosevelt Wild Life Forest Ex-
pertinent station at Syracuse, N. Y.
He has spent the entire summer in
the northeastern section of the park,
where beaver are especially active.
The beaver in that region are as nu-
merous as natural conditions will
permit, and a surplus of population
has compelled many of the animals
to seek new feeding grounds and
build new dams and lodges.
Prefer Aspen Groves
The beaver makes his habitat in
proximity to aspen groves. In the
vicinity of Camp Roosevelt large
groves of these trees have been cut
down, the bark used as food and the
logs for construction purposes. The
beaver has been Obliged to abandon
a famous series of beaver ponds in
Lost creek beside the Cooke City
road.
The increasing beaver population
Is attributed in part to the reduction
in the number of coyotes and wolves
within the park. These predatory
animals, great foes of the antelope
and hahv elk have been systemati-
cally hunted by rangers during re-
cent winters. Mr.. Warren suggests
a possibility that the beaver popula-
ton may eventually reach a point
where reduction may become neces-
sary. This could be accomplished by
trapping beaver families and sending |
them to other national parks or re-
gions where the restoration of this
valuable American animal is being |
attempted.
Marvellous Engineering
Marvellous engineering work of the
beaver is described by Mr.. Warren in
a publication, "The Life of the yell
Iowstone Beaver" Beaver use four
different types of construction, he
writes-dams, lodges, burrows and
canals. He regards the canal as in
many respects the highest engineer
ing achievement. ITO plan and dig
a channel in which to float logs to
a pond, and not only that, but also
to build dams in this channel to hold
water to a desired level, is an intelli-
gent art" On Tower creek Mr.. War
rem found two such canals, one 80
long and another $50 feet.

SOLOMON TOLD SHEBA
OF TRIP IN AIRSHIP
Describe d Vessel Wherein One
Could Traverse the Air.

London.-There has Just been
brought to light in an ancient manu-
script the statement that Solomon gave
to the Queen of Sheba "a vessel where
in one could traverse the air Cor
winds) which Solomon had made by
the wisdom that God had given unto
him"
/ This statement is quoted by Col.
Lockwood Marsh, secretary of the
Royal Aeronautical society, in the
opening of his preface to "Bibliotheca
Aeronautica." The text is taken from
the ancient Abyssinian MSS. 1.-THE
Glory of the Kings translated by Sir
E. Wallis Bulge, director of Egyptian
antiquities at the British museum, in
his book, 1.-THE Queen Of Sheba and
Her Only Son, Menyelek," published
last year
"This ancient manuscript has, of
course, been translated many times"
Col. lockwood Marsh told the West
minister Gazette, "but the statement
| about Solomon's airship apparently es-
capped notice of the reviewers, and 1t
has been left to a flying enthusiast like
myself to discover and proclaim 1t.
Solomon lived in the Tenth century B.
c., so it is quite the earliest reference
to flying extant. and as such will be
added to our records"
Many theosophists believe that there
were airships million years ago In
lost Atlantis, but as the book describ-
ing these airships was not published
till 1896. and the theory was based on
astral clairvoyance, Col Lockwood
Marsh prefers to regard this reference
to Solomon's airship in the dawn Of
civilization as the earliest one.
