To Save the HurTulo.
Secretary Langley, of the Smithson
ian Institution, retiorts that hunters are
continually killing the few remaining
buffalo which the government is trying
to preserve and protect In the Yellow
stone National I'ark. A few years ago
It was believed that there were two
hundred of the nnimiils in the park:
now only about fifty remain. The
head or skin of a buffalo sells for sev
eral hundred dollars, and while th
poachers cannot resist the consequent
temptation, the park is so extensive
that no effectual protection can be af
forded by the few troopers in charge.
Professor I.nngley suggests the re
moval of the buffalo to the National
Zoological Park in Washington, from
which, as their numbers Increased, thev
could be distributed throughout the
United States.

where the ground was still moist, al

On the sudden termination of the

Attention has lately been called to
the Irregularities of insect life on Ker
guelen Island in the South Indian
Ocean. The flies. Iieetles and other in
aeeta there are almost wingless. Doc
tor Kidder, one of the lastest visitors
to the Island, describes some of the
flies thus: 'They cannot fly, but seem
to use the vestigial wings In Jumping
when disturbed. They do not Appear
to Jump In any definite direction, but
tpring Into the air, ouxzlng the small
wlnglets with great activity, and seem
to trust to chance for a sKit on which
to alight, tumbling over and over In the
a r. The reduction In size of the wings
of the insects Is ascribed to the effects
of disuse, resulting from the low tem
perature, the Inclement weather, the
Absence of shrubs and trees, and par
ticularly the prevalence of tempestuous
winds. Violent gales of wind prevail
there, Doctor Kidder says, to an extent
unknown In the northern latitude. Fre

The Flying Man.
Otto I.lllenthal, who for several years
ha been practising the art of flying, or
soaring, with artificial wings near Ber
lin, has recently made an improvement
tn his apparatus. Instead of a single
large framework for the "wings," he
now usee two smaller frames, one
placed above the other, and connected
by cords. This device has greatly In
creased the Railing power of his ma
chines Starting from the top of the ar
tificial bill, which he has had thrown
up In the midst of a broad plain, I.lllen
thal Is able not only to glide for long
distances In the air, but to sail against
the wind. Formerly he had to take a
preliminary run before launching him
self from the bill, but now, with a mod
erately brisk wind, he can start with
out running, and if the breeze Is strong
enough It lifts htm from the hilltop and
sets him moving against Its own direc
tion without effort on his part, except
to balance himself properly. He .has
even occasionally risen above the point
from which he started. I.lllenthal has
had one or two serious falls, but Is con
fident that he can accomplish much
more than be bns yet done In the realm
of the birds.

"When I was a young mtn out In
McLean County, Illinois," said Elua
tlian Rockwell, a New Y'ork octogenar
ian, "I walked four miles through a
deep snow to see niy girl one night,
ind more snow began falling so heav
ily that I couldn't get back home across
Lbe prairie, and had to stay at her folks'
house all night. There was nothing
strange in that, as settlers were few
ind far between, and it was common
for neighbors to stay all night with one
inother. There was nothing strange,
either, in rny having ou a pair of buck
ckln breeches, for cloth was a scarce ar
ticle with us in those days, and what
we uaa was Homemade. Deer was
plentiful, and buckskin clothing was
common apparel In the winter.
The breeches I went sparking In
lhat night were made from a skin that
hadn't been properly dried, and were
a little green yet. My girl s folks had
moved from their first log house into
new one, and as their new house, like
ill dwellings of tlie prairie, had but
one apartment, thay made a shakedown
for me in the vacant log house. Then
wasn't any door to the old house. I
laid my buckskin breeches on the floor
by the side of my bed. Some time dur
ing the night either the family dog or
wolf or two', scenting the green buck
skin, came into the cabin, stole mv
breeches, and took them away some
where ami ate them. I saw the tracks
In tlie snow inside the log house, but
Hie falling snow had covered them up
frii the outside.
"It was terribly cold, and all I could
do was to lie in bed and wait for de
velopment s. I should have been up
Slid eating breakfast long before day
light, and. daylight coming, and I not
having put in an appearance yet, my
t'lrl's mother came out to see what was
the matter. There was great commo
tion when she found out, for there
wasn't another pair of breeches with
in four miles except her husband's,
and he wanted his himself. The con
sequence was that I had to lie covered
lip In the old log house until he could go
nil the way through the snow four
miles to our house, get my father's
breeches, and come back with them to
my relief. In the condition of the
prairie, the snow being two feet deep,
tins trip took nearly all the rest of the
day. and my father had to go to bed
until I got home with Ids breeches. Iiy
the time I got there mother had a new
pair of buckskins nearly ready, aud ev
erything was all right.
"Not long after that I fixed it so there
would be no danger of my getting into
such a scrapeagaln. I married my girl,
and we went to keeping house right
away. Our house was u log cabin I had
built.
"Our nearest neighbor was five
miles away, and tlie first winter we llv
eu ou our piace ait tne company we
had were wolves that came boldly Into
the yard, and picked up what they
could find, wild turkeys that came and
ate the crumbs that were swept out,
and deer that came from the timber
and tried to sneak a share of the corn
fodder we fed our cow ami oxen on.
That winter my wife walked five miles
and back, morning and evening, for
three days, fo do weaving for a neigh
bor, her pay being a pair of chickens
that we wanted to start a flock with.
"When our baby was three months
old my wife used to leave It on the bed
while she drove the oxen us I ploughed
up the stiff prairie sod. We had a
good dog, which always stayed In the
cabin at such times. My wife would
go to the house every half hour or so,
to see if everything was all right. One
day she started on one of these trips
and met the dog. covered with blood,
and so badly hurt that he was dragging
himself along toward where we were.
She almost flew the rest of the way to
the house. The she found the baby on
the lied nil right, but In front of the
!d lay a wolf, dead, and nearly torn
to pieces. The condition of the dou
was explained. The wolf had come
down to the cabin while we were away,
and but for the dog would have de
voured our child. We never left the
baby alone after that, and he is living
right here in New York to-day, and so
Is his mother." New York Sun.
