EXTERMINATING TROPICAL PESTS Vr Handrad Lions and Hyenas Har vested Last Tear oa Blasla Germaa East Africa ..Farm. A new way of dealing with formidable wtld animals Is now being widely empolyed In tropical regions. Until within a few years efforts to trap th larger beasts of prey were nearly al ways unsuccessful. Extraordinary precnu tlons were taken In setting th traps. Very strong traps were provided, th traps being kept from rust and handled with Instru ments so that the odor from the human hand might not be perceptible; put all In vain. The precautions are now thrown to the winds. Under the new plan white men are having great success ln trapping lions, tigers, leutwrds, bears, hyenas. Jackals and many others of th less famous prowl ers. These anlmls cause great loss of cattle and other domestic creatures and also cost th lives of many human beings every year. Th governments in nearly all trop ical countries cow have close times during which the hunting of harmless wild ani mals, such as elephants, tebra and ante lope I forblddn ln order that they may have an opportunity to breed and thus h saved from extinction. But th pioteotlng arm of th law I not extended over beasts of prey. New Sraeui Haa Trap. Poet-tally strong steel trap arc now em ployed for catching these animals. Th Jaws of the trap are so deep that when S lion sots foot upon th spring, th trap close upon the leg above th knee and wlthip two or three Inches of the body. An advertisement of a oertaln German trap appearing In a colonial newspsper last month ha an affidavit asserting that on a certain plantation in Oerman East Africa 4.6 beasts of pray, including Hops, leopards and hyenas, were successfully trapped last year. The fact that th ex termination of these animals by trapping now appears to be practicable is th causo of much rejoicing among tropical colo nists. Wherever one or more specie of the larger beasts exist they are a source of trouble to white men who are openlig farms or raising live stock. In Is uo serious undertaking for a Hon or an African leopard to kill the strongest horse or the largest ox. Herds are often decimated by their rav- ! ages, all the poultry may be killed In th night, skins and hides within reach are I destroyed, and Jackals will even stent boots and make a meal on them. M. Kiene, a farmer, writes from German 8outhwest .Africa that when he kills a sheep or steer it Is not necessary to bury th offal, for prowlers the very next night will clean It up and carry it off to the last morsel. The success of trapping th largest beasts of prey Is due to Improvements In the trap and In the methods of using It, Th traps now made for this purpose ar proportioned t the sstrength of th strong est animal that can get Into them. Betting the Trap. A shallow hole Is dug and filled with moss so as to bring the trap nearly to th level of the ground, the moss helping to keep it exactly level. Th trap and th ground around It ar then covered with earth fre from stones. Over this leaves or grass are strewn. A few bits of bait are scattered among the leaves from a foot to a foot and a half from the spring of the trap. Th beast whose fin nose detects the meat ap proaches at night, hunis th tidbits m th Utter and whll picking vhern up nine obanoas to tan ha will spring th trap. This Implement has soma appurtenances which have only recently been used. It was formerly the practice to fasten th trap on the spot, but the new way of trapping has a different device. Th trap is attached to a strong stout ohaln, at th end of which Is a three pronged anchor with points almost as sharp as needles. When caught the animal will haul the trap with Its chain and anchor out Into the brush. At every In stant the anchor Is catching In the ground or scrub. The animal cannot travel far, for every step means a pull on his Im prisoned limb, and the scars which th anchor makes on the ground and under brush are a sura guide to the crippled brute. The farmer may be awakened by th first frightened howl of bis victim, but he will watt till morning before Investigating the matter. A few minutes will take the animal into the bush, and his outcries soon cease. In the morning when conven ient the farmer will follow the trail, rifle on shoulder, knowing perfectly well that he can safely approach th brute within two or three rods and put an end to his misery with a well-aimed bullet. Easy u LyinST. Th experienced trapper today does not take th slightest pains to conceal hla par ticipation in setting th trap. He handles the trap he would a hoe, puffs away at his pipe, does not car If th trap is rusty, and puts no oil on it, as was formerly don to dlsgulsa odor. In fact, he carries out th work as simply as though be wer catching a muskraL Her ar some of th latest statistic of trapping big beast of prey ln tropical re gions. On one coffee plantation ln district U-S. Sumatra, three tigers wer caught ln two days near th remain of two oxen they had killed. Missionary A. Mayer In British Bechuarutland caught three Hons in a week, besides many other beasts of prey. Theodor Hartmann on plantation M ln German East Africa trapped 404 beaata of prey last year. A. von tjuaat on another plantation trapped ln on month two Hons, eight leopards and one hyena, all but on lion and on leopard bU)( caught la th same place. In sixteen months he trapped 204 beasts of prey, for which he received bounty amounting to 1.600 marks. C. Haverbock trapped three lions ln No vember of last yeur. C Forstmann reports from th Dutch Indies th trapping of two royal Bengal tigers and three bears, while H. Janson In German Southwest Africa has recently trapped four leopards, eighty hyenas, 1H0 Jackals and thirty-six foxes. These facts show that the steel trap Is going to have a very Important part In ridding the world of dangerous beasts of prey. SAFEGUARDING BOYS AND GIRLS Temptation of City 1.1 fe and Heme dies Proposed Results of an Inquiry. An Investigation conducted by a commit tee of the common council of Milwaukee to discover why boys and girls of that city go wrong has not been fully completed, but enough information hus been obtained to warrant the conclusion that the objec tionable conditions which prevail In Mil waukee are the result of city life and are common to all large cities. Among the agencies which Milwaukee people bold responsible for the corrupting of young people and which they believe are equally active In other large cities are the following: Undesirable home Influences. The indifference of the blind fondness of parents ln many homes of the better sort. Th penny arcadea, their tendency to promote flirtations and the opportunity which they present to the petty thief. Th t-cent theaters and other places of cheap amusement conducted without proper supervision, not so much because of the nature of the entertainment itself, but be cause they promote the habit of hanging about the streets and forming chance ac quaintances. Sensational displays on the billboards. Pool rooms and bowling alleys which al low young boys to loaf In them. Lack of supervision of boardir; bouses which advertise rooms to let to young girls. The Inadequate enforcement of the com pulsory education and child labor laws and of laws prohibiting the sale of liquors to minors, the sale of cigarettes and the at tendance of young girls at saloon dance halls without their guardians present. Inadequate laws restricting disorderly houses and poor enforcement of such laws as exist. Lack of opportunity for wholesome en joyment, such as public play grounds and social centers. As remedial agencies constructive rathr than stricter prohibitive legislation is likely to be recommended to the council. "Give the boys a place where they tun play ball without keeping a lookout for the policeman," suggests H. II. Jacobs, warden of the University of Wisconsin settlement, situated In th heart of the polish district, "and you have taken a long step toward the solution of the problem. Give them a good club with gymnasium facilities under Intelligent and sympathelc supervision and they will desert the gang which meets in alleys and which Is a training school for thieves and worse." In this statement is found the keynote of the majority of the recommendations. Among the propositions favored are the following: The ereotlon by th city of neighborhood houses equipped with reading rooms, rooms for games and dances and club work, bath i rooms and reading rooms, the houses to be In charge of experienced workers. The opening of the public schools after school hours as social centers and gather ing places for supervised clubs. The establishment of properly equipped and properly conducted municipal play grounds so located as to be easily acces sible to the children, and the use of the Polish district, "and you have taken a lor g to the public after school hours. The establishment of a parental school and of ungraded classes for backward pupils in each of th city schools. I A curfew taw. j Tl establishment of a municipal chil dren's theater where fairy tales and whole somo Juvenile plays may be presented, and the abolishment of th penny arcades and questionable E-cent theaters. Stricter enforcement of all laws protect ing youth and of those providing for th punishment of adult who contribute to th delinquency of children. Additional re strictions ln the child labor law. Segrega tion of sexes ln factories or shorter work ing hours for women, so that men and women do not leave together. Instruction In civics, social hygiene and home economics in the public schools, and trad schools, with both day and evening classes. STATION AGENTS' TROUBLES Something Doing; All the Tim Along; the l.lne of an African Railroad. The Uganda railway has always Im pressed us as being one which, to do It full Justice, should be dealt with In comic' opera. Named after a colony through which it does not run, starting from a terminus carefully placed as far awsy as possible from the port it serves, though reaching the iBland on which that port I situated by a bridge built at great expense, running for a long extent through natural game preserves, with the result that Its trains are held up from time to time by objecting animals, every mile on the line has a more or less humorous tule attachod to it. ' In the early days, while construction was sttll proceeding and while only a part of the line was open for traffic In fact until quite recently, life on the Hue must always have been Interesting and occasionally very exciting. In August. 16, for lnstsnce, the traffic manuger at Mnihasa received from the Babu atattonmaster at Simba the fol lowing telegram, marked urgent: "Lion Is on the platform. Please Instruct guard and driver to proceed carefully and without signal In yard. Guard to advise passengers not to get out here and be larefal when coming Into booking office. " Th touching pitc of advlc Included seems somewhat superfluous. However, one bold sportsman did get out. and, ascending convenient tree, mnnaged to "get" a lioness and a lion within a few minutes. He further wounded another lion, th one waiting on the platform. However, the latter, after being wounded, disappeared and could not be found, so th sportsman went along the siding to look for him. Ho found him suddenly but owing to his swiftness In getting in a blow from the shoulder on th lion's Jaw after an exciting rougn and tumble he found himself on top when the Hon bolted Into the bush. A littl later in the day the trsfflo mana ger received a further wire from the sta tlonmaster, who appeared to be somewhat recovering confidence, as it was not marked urgent: "One African Injured again by a Hon. Please send cartridges by next train certain." The same afternoon this was followed by a second touching telegram: "Pointsman is surrounded by two Hons while returning from distant signal and then pointsman went on top of telegraph post near water tank. Train to stop there and take him on train and then proceed. Please arrange necessary orders." It Is not "big game'' alone, however, that causes annoyance, for from a station close to Nairobi about five years ago th following report was received: "Rats run ning about like h 1, eating holes In th celling and biting oft pointsman's toes. Bond rat traps." African Colonizer. Eighty-five pairs babies' button and lao shoes, all sixes, 43c. Benson s Thorn. 1617 Douglas street. Called.

And then the comedian boarder left th table without vu inu.hbig ssrt Chicago Nes. 1
