The Prickly Porcupine

One Of the familiar inhabitants
Of the woodlands is the prickly old
porcupine. Some folks, especially
those from the big city, tear their
shirts off in an effort to get away
from this harmless animal when
ever he is encountered along the
trail.
Some guides in the north woods
say the porcupine is a common
nuisance and shoot him on sight.
There is little question but that he
is a very stupid beast, devoid of
fear, and an inveterate camp ma
rauder. One can kick him or club
him numerically, yet he will re
turn again and again to forage
and destroy.
The "porky" has an insistent
craving for salt and will gnaw
anything that has the least saline
flavor, anything that perspiring
hands have touched, such as an
axe-handle, gunstock, canoe pad.

He is also very fond of leather
and will chew your saddle, bride

or any other sweaty cloth or rope
, Foodstuffs that are salty or greasy
are never safe from him unless
hung up on wires or otherwise
protected.

Porcupine quilts, being barbed,
are hard to extract from the flesh
or clothing. When they break off
they work deep into the body and
have to be cut out. They are pois-
onous, to a certain extent, and
cause severe pain.
Few farmers or sportsmen who
own dogs have not experienced the
time when "Shep" clamped his
jaws over the back of a porcupine
in an effort to crush out the life
of the strange looking animal.
Many men and boys have sat for
hours with pair of pinchers ex-
tracing quilts from the lips,
mouth and tongue of their favor
lite hunting dog. The lesson the
dog learns is a good one in the
event you reside in territory
where the porky is numerous, as
he rarely bothers the spiny inhab-
liant of the outdoors after once
getting his fill of sharp quilts.
Don't fall for the age-worn be-
lief that a porcupine can throw"
his quilts any great distance. He
merely possesses the ability to
drop" a few needles as he plods
along in his effort to escape. His
quilts naturally catch on the bark
of trees and brush, and are some
times accidently picked up later by
other animals or sportsmen.

Varying Trademark Laws

In discussing the principles Of
trademark laws existing in the
world two separate systems of law
have to be considered, one system
being that in force in the United
States, Great Britain, France and
few other countries where the
first user Of a trademark Is pro-
tected, and the other system where
ownership is based on registration
OF the mark. This latter system
is used more generally throughout
the Latin countries of the world.
The law Of the United States is
practically unique in one respect,
In that it requires as basis of the
right to register that the mark shall
have been applied to goods sold in
interstate or foreign commerce, this
requirement following the clause of
the Constitution in which trade
mark rights are recognized.

Unfortunate Trend to
Flabbiness of Thinking

It has been said a good many
times over, in this generation as in
others, but President Hibhen Of
Princeton did we'll to remind the
students of his university that they
should be on their guard against
a fiabby mind, just as watchfully
as against flabby muscles. The old
Roman who spoke for "a sound
mind in sound body" put the
mind first, let us remember-mens
sana in corpore sano-but in our
modern quotation of the saying we
are almost always throwing the en-
phasis on the body. AS civilization
becomes more and more complex,
the flabby mind, unequal to the task
Of taking up an important problem
of life and thinking it through, be-
comes more and more perilous, both
to its possessor and to others who
may be obliged in any way to de-
pend upon the judgment of that pos
SCISSOR. Certainly no one should
be more watchful than the student.

Deposits Of Peat Due
to Carbonized Plants

The plants giving origin to peat
are mainly aquatic, reeds, rushes,
sedges and MOSES. The vegetable
tissues die and begin to rot, becom-
ing water-logged and sinking to the
bottom Of the pool. AS this deposit
becomes thicker, the lower layers
become compressed and carbon
ICED. The formation of peat seems
to require a moist atmosphere and
q low mean temperature. Peat
winning is done by cutting a trench
about foot deep with a peculiar
ly shaped spade, called in Ireland
a 'slane," and removing sods from
8 to 4 feet long. When one layer
Is removed the next is attacked. If
the deposit is very solid, step
working is employed. The sods are
allowed to drain and then are
stacked for drying, a process which
may take six weeks. They are
sometimes turned so as to dry
evenly. Dried sods are called "dug
peat" In modern times excavators
and dredges are sometimes used
and drying is FASTENED by heated
chambers. Peat is used as fuel.

Will of Egyptian King
Carved on Marble Slab

A marble slab with the inscribed
testament of Ptolemy VII, king Of
Egypt and Cyrenaica, In which he
bequeathed his kingdom to the Ro-
mans, in the event Of his dying
without an heir, was found during
the archaeological excavations by
the italian government in Cyrenai-
ca. The marble slab Is perfectly
preserved and the finely engraved
inscription is easily readable. Ptol.
envy died in 116 B. G. Il. e., 2,045
years ago., and was succeeded
upon the thrown of Cyrenaica by
his natural son Apion. upon whose
death in 90 B. c., the Romans
took possession of the kingdom.
The document, it is explained, is
exceptionally important as illus
trating the policy of the Romans in
the eastern Mediterranean, and
definitely solves the question of the
manner in which Cyrenaica passed
under Roman rule. The tradition
Of PtOlemy's testament was held to
be false by histories of the last
century.

were also used in the Russo-Japa-

fact that it was generally under
stood at the peace conference at
Geneva in 1899 that their use
would be abandoned. they were
again used In the World war.
