Brnin Reported aS Il Well Behaved

Bearing on the question of whether
or rot the bounty on bears should be
repealed Game Warden Edward p.
King tells of a flock of % sheep at
The Forks which have hun out in a
back woods pasture for two years, and
have not been moIcsted by bears at all
They are owned by Henry Farley of
The Forks. Mr.. Farley lives at The
foot of Durgn Hill at Dnrgin Corner,
so called about a mile up the Dead
River Valley from The Forks bridge.
These sheep have had the run of
pasture on the opposite side of Dead
River for the past two years. There
has been no loss whatever among
them except that one got caught in
some way and died in among the al
drrs near the shore. The pasture
is right on the edge Of = great forest
area, and bear have been killed in
that vicinity Yet the sheep were,
il appears, perfectly safe SO far as
Hrun WIS concerned
Mr. King thinks that if the public
will take care of the long haired dogs
the sports will be glad to take care of
the bears, and tire sheep will get along

The sheep already referred to or
some portion Of the flock are known
to have ranged eight miles from the
home pasture. AS the country ira
versed was heavily wooded they must
have followed trails made by river
drivers and at any rate the men in
the numbering camp of David Culler5

FOSSIL TUSKS APPEAR
 ON IVORY MARKET

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The latest -ad- dition to the Natural History De- partment of the British Museum is the skull and tusks of a Siberian mammoth, the first ever brought into Western Europe. The skull was dug out of the ice on one of the Si- berian islands of the Arctic. Pre- served as it was in cold storage through countless ages, it is re- markedly fresh even to the frag- ments of skin still attached to the great jaws.
 By examining the teeth, which are in excellent condition and about six inches in diameter, experts have es- tablished that they belonged to a full grown female mammoth. The bones of the head are snow white in contrast to the usual fossil bones, which are stained brown or black.
 The tusks are 12 feet long, and the ivory is in perfect condition. Their value as ivory is placed at $500.

FRUIT GROWERS MAY
 GROW CORELESS APPLE

MONTREAL, Jan. 4.-Much en- thusiasm was evoked at the fall meeting of the PomologicaI and Fruit Growing Society of the Province of Quebec by the announcement of the discovery at Abbotsford of seed less and colorless variety of the Fameuse apple.
 Professor F. c. Sears of the Am herst (Mass) Horticultural College who was present, examined the fruit and pronouced it Fameuse in every essential detail. He said if it could be reproduced it would prove of great value.
 The seedless apple was discovered by accident and the exhibitor had no idea how it was developed. He be- lieves, however, that the variety could be perpetuated by gratis.

 The supply of such ivory, however, is limited and 1t will not have any material effect on the market.
