SCARCITY IF PTARM|GAN
 IN INTERIOR REPORTED

Whether ptarmigan are subject to epidemics like rabbits or not, reports from the Interior indicate that the birds are more scarce this year than for many years. In some sections the presence of hawks and eagles is given as the cause of the decimation of the prospector's friend. In the upper Yentna country, a natural haunt of the ptarmigan, it is reported that in- dications point to a marked scarcity Of birds as shown by the small coveys seen in the fall.
 Some observers lean to the epide- mic theory through having found the birds unfit for food late in the spring. having been made ill after eating.
 One prospector counted fifteen eagles in one day flying along the hills in search of ptarmigan, while from one to a dozen large hawks put in an appearance the same day.
 A marked scarcity in spruce hens 1 (Franklyn grouse) is also reported,

High-SoundinR Names

1t seems to be the practice for lead
ing towns or cities to adopt titles in
self-pralse. The old venetians used to
say, "See Venice and die" and Rome
has always styled itself the Eternal
city. Boston calls itself-the Ameri-
can, not the English town-the Hub
of the Universe, whilst London has not
shrunk from calling itself the Metrop-
oils Of the World. 1t is a moot point
whether Brighton or Scarborough was
first in the field with the subtitle
Queen Of Watering Places" but 1t is
certain that both use it and believe
ip its truth. Edinburgh styles itself
the Modern Athens, and Glasgow
boasts that it is the second city of the
empire. Seville says that he who has
not seen Seville has seen no marvel.
Manchester calls itself Cottonopolis,
and Liverpool the Gateway of the
West.
