Game Preserves

UR forefathers did not give much
thought to the establishment
of game preserves In clearing
the forests and helping forward
the march of civilization they had plen
ty of wild animals to shoot and their
main idea in relation to the subject
was to kill tlieiu to supply the necessi
ties of existence or perhaps to make
the woodlands less full of danger to
the pioneer and his family But as
time went on the deer moose elk and
buffalo disappeared along with the
more dangerous animals such as the
bear ahd panther the wolf and the
rattlesnake With the four footed ani
mals went also the wild turkeys quail
and other game birds and even the
fish became very scarce Then came
a change Public opinion was aroused
long ao to the need for preservation
of the forests and as wealthy men be
gan to turn their attention to pleasures
of sportsmanship the necessity for do
ing something to prevent the extermi
nation of game was forced upon them
As a result numerous extensive pre
serves have been established by them
mostly in the east and south
In England in the time of William
the Conqueror it was as great a crime
to kill one of the kings deer as to kill
one of his subjects In former times
game laws were very oppressive in
Great Britain and poaching was pun
ished much as horse thieving used to
be punished in the United States in
new communities where vigilance com
mittees held sway It is only in recent
years that it has become necessary to
punish people for poaching in this
country for the very good reason that
there were no preserves upon which
they could poach
President Roosevelts interest in
game and also in the preservation of
the forests has had much to do with the
recent action of the national govern
ment in setting aside large tracts of
i - 1 im
A MODERN DIANA AND HER GAME
land in western states and territories
as national parks In the year 11302 no
less than twelve new national forest
reserves were established Most of
them were located in Colorado New
Mexico Montana and Nebraska but
the largest of all was the reserve of
4500240 acres in Alaska Altogether
the new reserves have a total area of
14270470 acres The Yellowstone park
and the Yosemite valley have for some
time been national parks and then
area added to that of the new reserves
made a total of about 00000000 acres
under the protection of the national
government While perhaps the lead
ing idea in the establishment of some
of these reserves was the preservation
of the forests and of natural scenery
one important result has been the pres
ervation of buffalo elk moose and oth
er animals native to the lands thus set
apart
The first private game park in the
United States of which there is record
was created by Judge J D Caton of
Ottawa 111 in 1SG0 for purposes of
sport and study In 1SS9 Austin Corbin
established what was long the largest
private game reserve in the United
States and the second largest in the
Avorld It consisted of over 30000 acres
is situated near Newport N H and is
known as the Blue Mountain forest
Peaks 3000 feet high are included
within the tract which is surrounded
by a wire fence eight feet iu height
One of the largest of the private reser
vations in this country is that created
in the Adirondacks by Dr W Seward
Webb comprising 40000 acres George
W Yanderbilts S0000 acre estate in
North Carolina has a tract of 0000
acres which is inclosed and finely
stocked with game
Almost every state in the Union now
has strict game laws and forest fish
and game commissions Between the
action of the local authorities the care
taken on the subject by the national
government and the money expended
by wealthy individuals in the creation
of private reserves the prospects are
now much better than they formerly
were for the perpetuation instead of
extinction of the wild animals game
brds and fish native to the North
American continent

SHE DISCOVERS STARS

Mr Williamina Paton Fleming who
recently located a new star is already
famous for her discoveries of celestial
bodies The star she found a short
time ago is in the constellation Aquila
and is of the variety known among as
tronomers as Novae Mrs Fleming
once before discovered a Nova in the
constellation Aquila so the new star
was named Nova Aquila 2d Since
17T2 when the first star of the Novae
variety was discovered by Tycho
Bralie only fourteen such stars had
been found prior to Mrs Flemings
MRS WITiMAMINA PATON FLEUIXG
latest find and eight of these were de
tected by her When it is announced
that Mrs Fleming has captured a new
star it does not mean that in search
ing the heavens through the telescope
one fine evening she ran down a new
member of the stellar family or that
any one by looking in the i ight place at
the right time could observe it She
made her latest discovery seated at
her desk in the Harvard astrophoto
graphic building and looking over pho
tographic plates That is the way she
has made most of her new acquaint
ances among the stars She does com
paratively little star gazing through
a telescope but she has a keen eje
for anything unusual in a negative of
any particular portion of the heavens
Mrs Fleming enjoys a high standing
among astronomers She was born in
Dundee Scotland and her father Rob
ert Stevens was much interested in
photography and introduced the tak
ing of daguerreotypes in Dundee She
taught for a time in her native place
and In 1S77 married James O Fleming
and came to America In 1S79 she be
came an assistant at the Harvard ob
servatory and in 1S9S was appointed to
the lesponsible post of curator of as
tronomical photographs She has more
than a dozen women working under
her direction and has a remarkable
record in observing stellar spectra and
in finding new variable stars

bar Since that time with short inter
vals Mr Jervey has practiced law and
for several years was also connected
with daily journalism in Charleston as
an editorial writer
Judge Jervey has long felt that no
true picture of the conditions prevail
ing in South Carolina during recon
struction has been produced It was
with a view to supplying that void that
he undertook at the solicitation of
friends who understood his peculiar
qualification for the work to write
The Elder Brother which has proved
to be one of the very successful books
of the year
Judge Jervey though a small man
is gritty to the last degree as was
demonstrated on several occasions dur
ing his connection with journalism In
Charleston The dignity and assurance
with which he calmed a bully who had
knocked down Mr Jerveys newspaper
