Scent Guides Lives of
Creatures of the WildS

The power of scent plays a vi
tai part in the lives of all creatures
of the wild. Through it they receive
advance notice, by way Of the air
currents, Of the presence of enc
mics, are able to recognize their
kind and find mates. In fact, al
most every moment Of their exist
ence is influenced by the sense OF
smell, and the distance over which
they are able to pick up a scent is
truly astonishing. Thus to the weak
er fraternity the air often carries
terrorizing news, while to the strong
it watts a gratifying message Of a
meal in prospect, according to Mack
B. Stielau, secretary Detroit 1zaak
Walton league, in the Detroit News.
The very young of most species
do not emit a scent, but whether
this is due to immaturity, or wise
provision of nature to protect her
helpless children. we do not know.
All kindred Of the wild. however,
instinctively recognize the scent OF
their natural enemies, and either
hide or hasten to get as far away
from it as possible. Even while at
play, time is taken out by the young
to sniff the air for alien odors. This
same trait may also be observed by
some domestic animals.
In the insect world, smell also
plays an important part and we
find that the sentinel bees are able
to detect and keep foreign" kir
from entering the hive. 1t guides
the butterfly and the moth to the
female, and it is said that in the
pursuit they are able to discover
the last spot on which she rested.
Through this sense the lowly ticks
which attach themselves to some
animals are able to pick a suitable
host on which to satisfy their IN
Quenchable thirst for blood.

Word Spider May Be a
Corruption of "Spinther"

The word spider" may be a cor
ruption Of Splinter" the spinning
creature, for our garden spiders
web is a wonderful piece Of weav-
ing, writes Oliver G. Pike, F. z. S.,
in London Tit-Bits Magazine. In
coloring the garden spider is mix
ture Of beautiful browns and grays,
and if we examine one with a
pocket lens the eyes are faScinat-
ing, for they resemble tiny red jew
els, but to the creature on which
the spider preyS they must be fear
some.
The web, with its symmetrical
lines and circles, is one of Natures
wonders. The spider selects the
site, fixes a few stays and guy
ropes, then constructs from 20 to 80
radial lines, all proceeding from a
common center like the spokes Of
a wheel. Working from the center,
she goes round and round, fixing
circles of web to the spokes until
she reaches the outside. A line is
made from the center where she
sometimes remains to sun herself,
to her lair, which may be two feet
or more away.
This line will carry a message to
her as she remains out of sight;
no matter where an insect settles on
the large web, the vibrations are re-
corded on her telephone. With the
exception of one or two spiral lines
in the center of the web, all are COW
cred with a sticky fluid which will
hold any insect that settles.

Cock-of-the-Woods, the
Largest of Woodpeckers

The pileated woodpecker, COM
monty called log-cock or cock-of-the-
woods, is the largest of our native
woodpeckers and is only a trife
smaller than the crow, writes AL
bert Stoll, Jr., in the Detroit News.
Like most members of the wood
pecker family, it is possessed Of a
scarlet red crown with white stripes
running down its neck to the wing
joints. The body is grayish-black
with the base of the wing feathers
white. The pileated woodpecker
loves the dense forest. 1t is seldom
seen beyond its confines. It is Of no
interest to the farmer as an insect
destroyer, for its work is confined to
the dense timber stands and it is
recognized by foresters for digging
out destructive tree insect larvae.
1t is able with its strong, chisel-
like bill, to penetrate the hardest
woods. There are many legends
woven around the pileated wood
pecker. 1t was one of the guardian
birds Of the Chippewas. The Ne.
nominees looked upon its presence
as a good omen. Even old time
deer hunters believed that where
this bird worked the hardest in
searching out forest insects, there
would he find good deer hunting.
AS our virgin timber disappears
so does the cock-of-the-woods. The
two 60 hand in hand and there il
no separating them.

Shrine Founded in ITO

Entering the deer park of Nara,
you pass through a great tori, or
front gate, of red wood and stroll
past many stone lanterns and wis
taria-festooned trees. Finally you
reach the vermilion-painted Ka-
suga-no-Miya, Shinto shrine which
Fujiwara Fuhito founded in ITO. It
is dedicated to the original ancestor
of the Fujiwara family, who was not
far removed from the sun goddess,
and is one of Japan's most ancient,
venerated sanctuaries. A good ex-
ample of primitive Japanese archi-
lecture, the Kasuga shrine has often
been rebuilt like most Shinto tenn
Piles.

Only Species of Wild Horses

Prejvalsky's horse the only Spe-
cieS of truly wild horse in existence,
cannot be tanned and is rarely
caught after it reaches maturity,
says Golfers Weekly. In 1902 Karl
Hagenbeck led an expedition to the
Cobb Desert, the habitat of these
animals. to secure a number of
them for ZOOS. But despite the
fact that he had 1000 extra Kirghiz
horsemen to help his own men,
he captured only 81 foals, which
were too young and weak to escape
with their herds.

saved more tnan Z,JuU nveS III the
more than $50 years they have been
used by the monks.
At the first sign of the storm, the
animals become restless. When it
breaks, they are turned loose, and
scatter in all directions, noses high
in the air, seeking the scent of some
stray traveller. They carry a cask
Of brandy suspended under their
necks.
Often when they arrive, the lost
man is covered with snow, uncon-
scious. The dogs are trained to
scratch away the snow that may
have drifted upon the unfortunate
traveller. They warm him with their
bodies, and lick his face.

Profitable World War Deal

A most profitable transaction in
the World war was the purchase Of
a German register by the British
Secret service in Belgium in 1917.
1t contained far more information
about the German military forces
than had been secured in the pre-
vious three years from an army Of
spies. The seller, says Golfers
Weekly, accepted $500 for it when
he could have successfully demand
ed several hundred times as much
money.

Word Eisteddfod Means
"Sitting" or Session

The eisteddfod, an annual Welsh
national festival, is accompanied by
competitions in the musical arts
most associated with the history Of
the Welsh people.
The Welsh word means literally
sitting" or session." notes a writ
er in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t was applied Of old to Welsh as
semblies of bards, whose meetings
additionally go back to the Fifth
and Sixth centuries. The eisteddfodS
of definite record, however, begin
much later than that. The earliest
actual account Of one of these fes-
rivals is Of the one held in ITO by
Lord Rhys at his castle in Alder
teif.
In that century the eisteddfod ap-
pears also to have been a regularly
constituted court Of a sort, its func'
ton being to license bards and regu'
late their privileges. In the time o1
the Tudors it was still recognized as
a tribunal of authority and Queen
Elizabeth issued a commission for
holding one in 1858.
During the next century the GUS
tom seems to have lapsed entirely,
but it was revived in the Nineteenth
century, and restored to its impor-
lance in Welsh life. The eisteddfod
is held every year, in North and
South Wales alternately.
Music competitions of a similar
nature as the eisteddfod and under
the same name are also held chiefly
among people Of Welsh origin OF
descent, in the United States anc
some of the British dominions.

Origin of the National Grange

On January 10, 1866, Oliver H.
Kelley started on a trip through
the South during which he conceived
the idea Of fraternity of farmers
to restore agriculture and unite
North and South. The first meeting
of the founders was held on Novem-
Der is, 1867, for the purpose of or
ganizing an order of agriculture in
the United States. On December 4,
1867, formal session was held at
Washington and the National
Grange was organized and officers
elected.
