BUSY BEAVERS
BOTHER BATHERS
ANIMALS SELECT THE LIVINGSTON
POOL FOR THEIR FUTURE
HOME

Beavers have elected TO make
LivingSton's municipal swimming
pool in Sacajawea park their flu
ture home and recently moved In
without giving formal notice.
Members of the city park board, in
an attempt to persuade the fUr-bearing
animals to leave peacefully for regions
unknown, ordered the pool drained
The water was allowed to drain from
the pool, board members said, in hopes
that the beavers would depart swiftly
and without further trouble. Those ac-
quainted with beaver say that as soon
as the water drains away they viii lose
no time In seeking what they consider
more livable quarters. While the pool
is dry board members said, glass and
other articles thrown in earlier in the
season will be removed.
The beavers have already gnawed
through several large cottonwood trees
near the upper end of the pool, and are
busy each evening cutting the smaller
branches away and carting them to a
spot just above the Yellowstone street
bridge where it is assumed construc-
ton of a home is underway. The
beavers may be seen almost any even
ing hour on the north bank of the pool,
Just short distance from the bridge.
They work industriously and without
fear Of those who gather to watch.
They have, apparently, definitely de-
cided as to the locale of their future
home and are busy with construction
work. 1t is not known how many there
are, but two may be seen throughout
She evening. They are working in the
upper end of the pool and are not ma
5erially interfering with the hundreds |

CRUISES
ON PARK LAKE
TWO NEW PATROL BOATS WILL
MAKE SCHEDULED RUNS
AT YELLOWSTONE

Yellowstone lake, the largest
body of water at its altitude on
the continent, Is being charted by
the Yellowstone park ranger force.
Two new patrol boats are scheduled
TO make regular runs on the lakes
139-square mile area, making it
necessary TO have accurate sound
ings on all bays and inlets.
The maximum depth Of the lake has
been measured to approximately $50
feet in the west thumb, but no COM
plete SoundingS have ever been taken
throughout the remainder of the area.
When the work is completed, pro-
cess which is expected to take much
Of the summer, map will be available
containing information on the entire
lake. With the aid of the new chart,
the patrol boats will be better able to
protect lakeside forestry and maintain
fire and fishing regulations.
The patrol boats, designed as park
service No. / and No. 2, are docked at
the bureau of fisheries station near the
Lake hotel. They are manned by ran
gers from the Lake station under the
direction Of Lake District Ranger David
Condor.
One of the boats was received as
surplus from the bureau Of internal
revenue and the other from the de-
1artment of soil conservation. They
we're put in use for the first time this

TOURISTS IGNORE
BEAR WARNINGS
INJURIES INCREASE AS TRAVEL
ERS CARELESSLY FEED THE
PARK ANIMALS

Careless feeding of roadside bears
in Yellowstone park during July
led to q definite increase in the
number of injuries reported to the
superintendent office, according
to statistics compiled by park au-
thorities covering the first few days
of the month.
Visitors to the park are showing a
tendency to fraternize too closely with
the friendly, food-seeking bruins, the
report indicates. A total of Is cases
have been reported to authorities, the
same number as reported through july
is in 1886, but in 1887 the first 10 DAYS
of July contributed five whereas there
we're only two last year in the first is.
Rangers are constantly reminding the
visiting public that a bear is a wild
animal and not a pet, and must be
treated accordingly. They are careful
to point out that all bear feeding is
prohibited and there should be no offer
Of food from the hand as the bears

the motorists and trouble follows.
All the bears seen along the rOadSides
in the park are of the black species, in
three colors, black, brown and CHINA
mon, park officials declare, and are
not dangerous unless moleSted When
food is preferred them from the hand.
however, they will grab with their
sharp teeth or swing their powerful
paws in which case the injury results.
The grizzlies, possessed Of meaner dis
positions, are seldom seen along the
roads as they prefer the uninhabited
sorested regions.
No injuries have ever been reported,
'angers declare, when persons have
1een careful to maintain proper dis
anceS.

Montana has one of the best blue

stock In Idaho, most of which, he
said, was close to worthless, due to
the fact that of S13,OO0,000 sold,
only 81 ,000, 900 was put into actual
development. "The promoters took
the rest" he said,
Montana has not been an easy spot

due to your very stringent law gov

Tho "fences" which they ret up on
earth and how to detour around them
were explained to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Sci
ence by DR.. A. G.. McNish Of the
Carnegie Institution OF Washington.
Tho invisible barriers, caused by
magnetic storms from sunspots, rise
to unknown heights around both the
North Pole and the South Pole.
Radio transmission rs practically i'm

between two stations passes close to
the Arctic or the Antarctic regions.

But there is little interference If
messages are routed near the equa,.
torial regions, DR.. McNish said.
There Is one benefit to radio from
the sunspots. This, DR.. McNish said,
is an increase in the electrification Of
the rejecting layers Of air above the
stratosphere. As \ result they reflect
radio signals better and permit long
distance communication with short
waves.
"Short-wave signals" said DR.. Nc

travel only short distances are now

Of almost every sort Of halo reported

Solidity Of Earth.
The earth may always have been
solid.
The generally accepted idea that 1t
once was = boiling mass Of molten
metal and rock is not proved by the
planets structure, DR.. Rollin T.
Chamberlain OF the University Of Chi
cago told the association.
The globe is made up OF concentric
shells. The lightest layer is on the
surface, 30-mile deep shell predomi-
nantly Of granite. The rocks grow
denser, geophysicists have determined,
as they approach the center. This
is the way the planet might have
been expected to cool, since in the
liquid mass the lighter elements would
have risen to the surface.
The proof is inconclusive, DR..
Chamberlain stressed, since the dense
inner layers may be the result OF
the enormous pressures upon the ma
terial and the granite shell may have
been due to the boiling of the lighter
material out of local reservoirs of
liquid rock, such as are thrown over
the surface in volcanic eruptions.

1t involves killing all the ground

A few seemingly always survive.
A flood forecasting service, which
may make 1t possible to warn Of COM

to be established by the Federal Gov

by Merrill Bernard Of the United

SpUrred by Flood Disasters.
Spurred by the two disastrous floods
in the East in the Springs Of 1886
and 1887, the Weather Bureau will
establish flood forecasting centers near
the headWaterS of the great rivers. A
start is to be made in cooperative
project of the Weather Bureau, the
Geological Survey and the State Of
Pennsylvania in the watersheds Of the
Allegheny, Monongahela, Susquehanna
and Delaware Rivers. A hundred re-
cording rain gauges will be set up.
Hydraulic engineers will travel on
schedule over established circuits read
ing these gauges and keeping track of
snow depths during the Winter.
The service, as described by Ber-
nard, will consist OF day-by-day esti-
mates of the run-off potentialities of
the watersheds day-by-day check on
approaching storms by the recently
introduced method of air mass analysis,
hourly rainfall reports during critical
storm, and immediate estimates Of
the food peak stage and hour Of
crest arrival at various points as soon
as rainfall has ceased.
A network Of recording rain gauges
is planned over the entire area of the
Mississippi Valley. In connection
with this service it is planned to di-
vide the country into eight hydraulic
districts.

Rainbow Halos Explained.
Red rings or brilliant rainbow halos
sometimes appear around the sun or
moon and of old were feared as
omens Of disaster They usually ap-
pear on cold day or night. Al
though the sky IS cloudless, the upper
air IS filled with floating ice crystals.
When sunlight or moonlight hits
these crystals it is refracted and re-
t1ected 50 that it appears as cir
cular rainbow with its red edge toward
the source of light.
These halos are seldom seen. DR.
Wooley said, and when brilliant one
does appear it excites enormous in
terest. In order for halo to be
visible there must be An enormous
number Of crystals Of approximately
the same shape falling in the same
way. The appearance Of the phenom-
enon' depends on the shape Of the
crystals

PLAGUE RESERVOIR
IN WEST REPORTED
Area Spreading, Says Doc.
tor-Disease Is Carried
by Squirrels.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

The existence Of a great reservoir of
plague-the disease which almost de-
populated Northern Europe in the
thirteenth century-in the Western
United States was made known to
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science members in
Denver, Colo, today by DR.. c. r.
Eskey d the Public Health Service.
In spite of the utmost efforts to
keep it under control, the plague-in-
tested area seems to be increasing
and may be spreading eastward At
present, DR.. Eskey said, there is little
cause for concern. e|The virus of the
disease seems to be confined to
ground squirrels and other small
rodents which are infested by a species
Of flea which almost never gets on a
human being. They only serve to
spread the disease from squirrel to
squirrel. The little animals are
rather solitary, sparsely distributed
creatures. The chief danger is to
persons who handle them after they
have been killed.
There is accumulating evidence,
however, that the flea will also infest
rats. The infected rats will pass the
virus along to their own particular
species of fleaS. which can pass it
on to man. The domestic rat has
been the chief carrier of the plague
In the past.
Garbage Dumps DANGER,
Fortunately. DR.. Eskey said, the
ground squirrels and house rats sell
dom come IN contact with each other.
The chief sources Of danger are the
garbage dumps on the outskirts OF
small cities. where both animals may
come IN search of food. Once the
plague became established in rats it
might be very difficult to combat.
Very few human cases have been
reported up to the present. Such
cases, almost always fatal are very
similar TO pneumonia the Public
Health Service surgeon said. and are
apt 10 go undlagnosed by physicians
ia1 the rural sections where contact
between man and the ground squirrel
Is most likely. There was a recent
epidemic of Is cases started by man
who had been hunting ground squir-
sels.
Potential Dangers Great.
THE potential dangers are 50
great" DR.. Eskey said, that the Situa-
ton demands continued surveillance.

ravished the populations of many
countries in the past and is a potential
