OF INTEREST IN
SHENANDOAH COUNTY

Through Supervising Game Warden
Chas. F. Headley of the 7th District,
and County Game Warden C. j. Hotel
the following interesting statistics are
presented
Game killed or captured in Shenan-
doah County last year. Quail 5000,
wild turkeys so. rabbits 5000 and
squirrels 500.
1864 hunting licenses issued, aggre-
eating $1671.50 as as against 1851, last
year.
Dog tags sold 1925. Damages by
dogs $469.10. Amount paid into
Treasury of Shenandoah County for
IL months dog licenses, and used for
schools and roads $685.. 6S
The above amount from dog licenses
is retained by the County, and appro-
priated by the Board OF SUPERVISORS 70
pay for damage done to stock by dogs,
bounties on hawks, crows, etc., and
the remainder devoted TO schools and
roads in the County. A total of $261,
300, net was the past year paid into
treasures of counties, cities and towns
of the Commonwealth for this purpose,
after Is per cent of the gross amount
having been deducted for the mainte-
nance of the Game Department.
The State Game Department has to
be self supporting, and is maintained
from the hunters licenses, besides the
fifteen per cent % a total of 1907,
422.4O (dog licenses the balance as
as stated, going to the various coun-
ties and towns, over quarter
of million dollars. In the sup.
port of the Game Department is
included the wardens, the Game Farm,
fish survey and hatcheries, restocking
of streams with fish, and the woods
and fields with birds and other game.
Prior to the adoption of the BAKER
DOG LAW" Tyr. 1919, there was less
than SIC, 200 per annum collected in
Virginia through assessments by Com
missioners of Revenue.
Annual survey of game throughout
the State shows an increase during
recent years, the year 1923 being the
banner one. These statistics on amount
of game killed, and the estimate Of
game in the general survey of the
State, are procured by game wardens in
each locality, and confirmed by hunts
men andiandowners. The recreationa
value to our citizens is untold. This,
and the actual value of the game killed
is difficult to estimate in dollars ahd
cents. The survey on the quantity o.
game is as authentic as it is possible tt
make it. The U. S. Bureau of Biological
Survey accepts it and figures ths
value. etc. 80. <.z'.s.ss Azsxzss

SCARLET DEEP-sEA sHRIMPs
Specimens Fished Up In the Med
lterranean at a Depth Of More
Than Mile.

A shrimp, magnificent creature a
foot long, with feelers yard in
length, was among the specimens fished
up In the Mediterranean at depth Of
more than mile, In researches con-
Quoted by the late prince Of Monaco.
The prince spent much of his spare
time dredging in deep waters for
strange creatures which live in the ink
black. icy-eold abysses of the sea.
The Mediterranean creature is Of a
gorgeous red color, and has feathered
feet. 1t is pleasant to eat, and large
enough that one shrimp is sufficient
for good meal for a hungry man.
But the oldest part about it is the
color. Since In the depths at which it
lives the darkness is equal to that OF
the deepest mine, it is difficult to
imagine why it should possess this
scarlet hue.

Father Of Microscopy.

Father of scientific microscopy Is the
title given by modern scientists to An
thony van Leeuwenhoek, native Of
Delft in Holland, where he died on
August %, 1923. Although without
the advantages of liberal education
Leeuwenhoek was a microscopic of
remarkable ability, and many impor-
tant discoveries were made by him,
the chief being undoubtedly that of
the capillary circulation of the blood
He first sought to discern this in the
comb Of a young cock. the ear of a
white rabbit, and the membrane of a
bats wing, and failed, but achieved
success with the stail Of a newly
Matched tadpole, In which, he says. II
could distinctly perceive the whole
circuit of the blood in its passage to
the extremities of the vessels and its
return towards the heart"

From Wool to Sui. in a Day

In numerous industries there have
been conspicuous examples OF what
can be accomplished In the way Of
speed when human energy as well as
mechanical appliances are put to the
test against time. For example, an
English baronet once wagered that he
would dine at seven o'clock in suit
of clothes made from wool which had
been growing on the sleeps back the
same day. Operations began at i've
o'clock In the morning with the wash
ing of sufficient sheep to provide the
wool. From neighboring factory the
wool was returned as cloth late in the
afternoon, but early enough to permit
a tailor and his assistants completing
the suit by seven o'clock, in plenty of
time for the baronet to don it prepare
tory to sitting down to his evening
meal.

RIVER is 1000 MILES LONG
Alexander the Great Brideed the indus
In India and Led His Army
Into the Puniab.

The Indus is one Of the three great
rivers of northern India. 1t has It's
source In the glaciers Of the mountain
region of the north, and after flowing
across the hill country, Inhabited BY
the fanatical tribes. Of which Kipllng
wrote. it comes out upon the plains OF
India. which it crosses, flowing to the
southwest. and emptying into the
Arabian sea a little south of the from
tier of Baluchistan. The distance in a
straight line from source to mouth Is
1000 miles, but If the curves Of the
river be taken into account, the river
has q length of 1000 miles.
The Indus enters the sea through
several mouths. thereby forming q
Jorge delta, and on the extreme west
ern end of this delta stands the port
Of karachi, the capital of the Prov
sinee Of Sind and the gateway for the
trade Of - - {. Iareo mort ~
central ,fndia. The city has b ssi5 ! q
ton OF a1syuk 125o0Q. 1t has large
export trade in wheat. oilseeds, cot
ton, wool and hides. 1t contains ex-
tensive iron works and other manu-
factories. Karachi is 500 miles by sea
from Bombay.
1t will be remembered that when
Alexander the Great, the Macedonian
conqueror, invaded northern India, he
came to the River Indus, bridged it,
and crossing in the year 326 B. O., led
his army into the Punjab. His victo-
rious career continued for time, but
finally his troops refused to advance
further, and Alexander was compelled
to turn back. He died on the houa0.
ward march.

Pressed Ais suit.

When tha-fine old mansion of Chat
nam, on tne Rarpahannocks was sold
few-years ago, a young teacher said
to her sewing school in the parish
house of st. George. "You are all Fred
ericksburg children, and ought to know
something of its history, but do not
suppose any one of you knows thing
about Chatham
To her surprise a little girl piped
up: Eyes, I do, Miss Clara; papa read
1t aloud from the paper"
'sThen tell the others, Sally"
"At Chatham General Lee had his
coat irone6." answered Sally trium-
phantly.
The teacher was perplexed until
she found in the daily paper the
phrase: '.It was at Chatham that Gen.
Robert e. Lee pressed his suit with
the lovely Miss Custis."

The Real Test.

The dfsconsolate-looking tramp was
sitting with his back to the hedge. eat
ing some food out of a piece Of news
paper.
Presently a woman, ont for q stroll
with her pet dog, came along. The
little animal soon scented the food.
and Immediately ran up to the tramp
and tried to take something out of the
paper. The tramp's grimy face imIne-
diately became suffused with a smile.
which the lady put down In her own
mind as rather nice in that sort Of a
person
"Shall throw the little dog bit7"
asked the tramp, as her pet still shifted
at the food.
The woman was much gratified with
this appearance of kindly interest and
gave her assent. The tramp seized the
dog by the scruff Of its neck and
tossed it over the hedge, remarking
"And II he comes back, ma'am, l
might throw him bit more!"

righted itself. Amused by its antics
he repeated the performance; then 1t
struck him that he had made won
derful discovery. The result Of his
chance meeting was the self-righting
lifeboat, which was designed by him
on the lines Of the broken bowl.
What he had discovered was that
anything made of floating material
and shaped like one-half of basin
could float only with its convex sur
face downwards. A boat made on
these lines cannot remain upside down
for more than an instant when 1t Is
turned over by heavy sea.
