Skating an Ancient Art

no YOU boys and girls who like to skate
- know that this sport is more than q
thousand years old?
There references to skating in the old
Morse legends of Iceland, and in many of the
early books Of continental Europe. In England
in the twelfth century. skates were made from
the brisket bone of and fastened by
pieces of leather to the soles of the wearers
boots. Thrustng a stick into the ice helped
the skater move forward.
An iron runner in a wooden frame was first
used in the fourteenth century. and this grad
ually developed into the fine steel skates with
which you skim over the ice today.

Boat Race in Fish Bo7vI

I AVE you old fish bowl that is not
in use, or any other large dish like
washbowl, or dshpan? Then white couple
of tiny sailboats from pine wood making the
masts of matchsticks and the sails of paper.
Fill the bowl about half full of water. then
place a large lump of camphor crystal in the
bottom, but to side of the bowl. Place
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-12-02

your boats in the bowl and on the water. They
will go sailing around and around as If they
were racing
The reason: The camphor gives of a gas
when it comes in contact with water. This
gas makes the water in the bowl move in a
circular direction and your boats follow the
current.
Do not try this experiment in a fish bowl
containing goldfish, as the camphor gas will
kill them

IF YOU will look on your map and locate
Libby, Mont, and then look to the right,
up in the northwest corner of the State,
you will find Flathead Lake. Libby is on
the Kootenai River, and Flathead Lake Is
the basin that catches the drainage from
the SOUTH middle and north forks of the
Flathead River, large and important tributary
of the Clarks fork of the Columbia River. Out
side of the Great Lakes Flathead Lake Is the
largest fresh water lake in the United States.
Several years ago, when automobile roads
were still mostly just trails and wagon roads,
my lifelong companion, the Wanderlust, took
me into this country to see what could see.
Starting from Seattle. went in by way Of
Spokane, Sand Point and Boomers Ferry Idaho.
This brought to the Kootenai River, up
which travelled to Libby Mountain over
mining and Forest Service road so crooked that
it would have made snake dizzy to follow it.
In one stretch Of over two miles it had been
blasted out Of the face of a lava cliff that
dropped straight down for more than 1000 feet
into the boiling roaring Kootenai River. was
driving east, with the river on the drivers side
of the car, and from where sat behind the
wheel, the edge of that cliff was out of sight
under the running board, because the road was
less than a foot wider than the car!
co had an airplane view of the river for
- two miles. There was not single place along
that stretch where two cars could have passed,
so it is lucky I didn't meet anybody going the
other way. 1t takes steady nerves to drive
road like that. and was glad when reached
the end Of that great lava wall and came to
timber, where could the ground on both
sides of the car instead of rock wall close on
one side, and nothing at all on the other
except a snarling river 900 feet down.
But made it into Libby without incident.
From there drove up Libby Greek a
road so dim that occasionally had to stop
and get out of the to find it, I stopped in
several places to pan the creek gravel bars for
gold, and found it, but in small amounts
that would not pay to work.
was in no hurry so studied the geology of
the country, caught few trout when wanted
them, and took some snapshots of q grizzly
bear lunching on wild onions only SO feet
from the road.
That night camped on the shore of Rodgers
Lake. The next day, about noon, had got
well over toward the long hill that goes down to
Flathead Lake, when heard a roaring sound
behind me. I stopped, looked back, and saw
what appeared to be black curtain hung down
across the Western sky from huge bank Of
dirty yellow clouds, rolling over and over and
coming straight at me. That looked like trouble
and it wasn't more than a mile away.
Right there, fire had swept the mountains
years before, and the new timber had grown
about 20 feet high and as thick as it could
stand. That looked good to me! I turned
the car across the road and drove it, full
speed ahead, straight into that thick growth of
young timber

Last Antelope.
IN 1890 I was camp hunter for the surveying
crew that laid out the Burlington Railroad
that now runs between Grand Island, Nebr.,
and Billings Mont.
was still plentiful, so had no trouble killing
deer, antelope and other game to supply 20
husky Woodworking young fellows with all
the fresh meat they could eat-and they could
eat lot!
built a shack as headquarters about Z
miles east of where the town of Gillette, Wyo.,
now stands, and from here hunted in all
directions until we finished about 100 miles
Of our job across the sagebrush.
About one and one-half miles north of nv
shack, q spring seeped out from under some
gaunt red rocks making q small pool that
served as watering place for the game of that
section. Here one day surprised bunch of 10
antelope just coming to water. It was a long
shot across quite wide valley, but was good
shot, used to killing game every day. So cut
loose and downed young buck. The rest of the
herd scattered like rabbits and had disappeared
over the hill in 80 seconds
| LOADED my meat into the wagon and then
! made close examination of the water
hole and its surroundings Water very
scarce, and every hole used by good
many wild animals as drinking place. In
desert country one can always get meat if he
will hide within easy shooting distance of
water.
There were still nine antelope in this herd,
and I decided I'd just leave them alone. not
going near this water hole unless I'd had bad
luck elsewhere and had to get meat in a hurry
A big pile of rock offered good cover just across
the little valley and by slipping up here I
knew could wait while and get my animal
every time without trouble
This plan carried out shooting an antelope
now and then, but only in emergency. But
one by one the little herd dwindled and as its
members went down the survivors got shyer
and shyer.
Finally only old buck was left, and a
shyer, more suspicious animal have never
seen. I went after him three or four times
before got him. and every time he would come
to the hilltop, there he'd stand. with just his
eye and horn above a rock. He'd watch the
ground between himself and the water hole for
half an hour without moving muscle.
But he had to have water, and finally he
came down, and began to gulp the water.
leveled the sights of my gun on the base of his
neck just between the shoulders, and let go.
The big !45-.70 Winchester bullet crashed
through his spine, and he went down, dead
when he hit the ground.
had my meat and a fine set of horns, but
only because that buck, wise as he was, hadn't
thought of hunting new water hole.
