ALPS ARE n v ! 1 1 1 1 t u rORK on tho Lotscliberg tunnel, tho third longest In Europo, 1b progressing so well that tho opening at this bore through tho Alps has been set for May 1. 1913. At 3:50 o'clock one morning not long ago the two boring partleiutnet. When the first small hole had been mado through tho barrier betweon the two, Chief Engineer Moreau, in charge of the south party, was handed a bunch of Alpine flowers by Engineer Rothplotz, in charge of the northorn party. Then the chief engineer passed through tho opening and embraced his colleague. Tho other workers followed. Tho tunnel, which takes its name from tho Lotschon Pass, undor which it runs, passes somowhat to tho oast of tho Dalmhorn, a 12,000 foot high-peak, and Is over nine and one-fourth miles in length. The Slmplon Is three and one-fourth miles longer; the St. Got hard a quarter milo longer. Unllko other Alplno tunnel it is curved, its course having beon diverted owing to a great disaster of July, 1908, when by on accident, tho Kander river was tapped and tho water, rushing Into the workings, killed 25 men. Tho result of tho work will bo a number of modifications in tho international railway truffle of central fcjuropo. COYOTE IS Bravest Animal Alive, Declares Former U. S. Marshal. That Is Information Given Out by Jack.Abernathy of Oklahoma, Bet ter .Qualified for Talk Than Any Other Person. Oklahoma City, oW. Tho coyote has boen greatly maligned. Instead of being tho worst coward in tho animal kingdom it is the bravest thing in ex lstenco. That is tho information coming from Catch-'Em-AlIvo Jack Abernathy, former United States marshal, and better qualified for dis cussing tho coyote, porbaps, than any other living man. Recently while discussing coyote hunting with somo friends, Abernathy gavo utterance to some statements that aro surprising. "There is a mlstnken impression re garding the coyote," ho paid. "I have caught a thousand of them and I never made ono yelp with pain. They would rather run than fight, but when they are cornered they fight llko tho very old Kick and dio without a whim per. , "I would rather catch a wolf nllvo than a coyote. Tho wolf is larger, but tho coyote is quicker. "Tho coyote never hunts trouble, 1 nover had ono attack mo unless I had Btarted tho fight. Ho sleeps tho great er part of tho day and forages at night. I havd noticed that they nro braver at night than in tho daytime. "As to their Intelligence why, dang It, thoy'ro the smartest things living. Ttyoy aro more cunning than a fox. They cap ambush a dog with more Bkill than r Mississippi nigger can in vade a hen roost on a dark night. Their favorite trick Is to 'double' on dogs when being chased. I had a flno greyhound killed once by this trick, Three dogs wore chasing a coyote. Tho trail led through a rough country and tho wolf, as they are commonly called on the ranges, led the dogs into a trap. A half dozen other coyotes came out from a ravlno and took after tho dogs. Suddenly tho wolf that was being pursued stopped and In a mo ment thoro was tho all-llrcdest fight you ever saw. They killed ono of tho dogs beforo I could get close enough to unlimber my Winchester and got into tho game. , "A wolf knows when ho is in danger .and when he is not. Once I had n ,coop of chickens in camp. Tho coyotes 'were prowling about, bo I took tho PIERCED BY ANOTHER Of TJiZ ZQCK-&6fd$m MALIGNED coop out on the pralrio not far away and surrounded It with wolf traps. Harly tho next morning I took my re volver and went out to Bee If I had caught anything. Not a trap had been disturbed. Whjlo I stood thoro seven of tho rascals snooped up out of tho darkncsB and surroundod me. They came up to within ten cot of me and I began to expect a fight. I drew away from them, making toward camp, thinking to unchain the dogs and havo an early morning chase. They fol lowed, but when they caught smell of tho dogs, they took to their heels, "Thero Is something queer nlout tho howling of coyotes. It reminds me more of Indians dancing' than any thng else. I think tho Indians learned somo of their antics from tho coy otes; and then ngaln when you ro momber how smart tho doggoned coyoto Ib, It may have boon the other way, ho may have caught tho trick from watching tho Indians. "One night, several years ago, I saw a coyoto como loping along until ho reached a little knoll, whero ho stopped. He sat up on his' haunches and emitted n ghastly long-drawn yowl, Sllonco followed! thon anothor yowl. In (en minutes a dozen other coyotes gathered around him. In Btead of sitting up on their hnunches llko tho first one they circled around him in a radius of about ten feet In a kind of n 'hltch-nnd-n-trot' !npor howllng, first a short yelp and then a long one. Occasionally the ono Bit ting In tho middle would let out a long-drawn cry, That was tho cue for tho others to begin nil over again. I made a movement and In a moment thoy had vanished llko tho shadows." HENS TRAVEL 12,000 MILES Descendants of Champion Australian Chickens Arrive in England Have World's Record. London.
