The foree.t, fih and game exposition now being held In Chicago hus brought to gether a most unique collection of outfits for fishermen and hunters. There never bus been so m&ny devotees of the rod and gun aa there are today, and manufacturer and dealers ire reaping a harvest from It. A Massachusetts authority estimates that there are 30,tM) hunters and fishermen In the Bay state, and If the same proportion obtains in other states the number of "mighty hunters before the Lord" in America must run Into the millions. The great problem confronting the Ameri can sportsmen today, with respect to fish and game, ia how to "eat cake and have It." They realize that the pot-hunter is cutting down the supply below the danger Mmtt. The quail and the pheuar.t axe dls l luring and In the effort of the sporu oien to rvstuck the country with these game birds there haj come a new Industry tht of Quail and pheasant raising. Young) quail have been pown with only Indiffer ent success, but pheasants are compara tively easy to rear. A Colorado corpora tion has been organised to raise and aell pheamntaand has been receiving orders from ever) here. Among the patrons of this corporation is President Dtaa of Mexico. The National Association of Audubon Societies of America Is making ear-newt efforts to conserve the game of the coun try, and tho protective laws that are on the statute books of nearly ajl the statea are for the inout part a result of Its labors. It is now making an effort to have taken a bird census of the country, in order to get full details as to' the destruction that has taken place, and the beat methods ot protecting the birds In the future. The association has Issued a number of educa tional leaflets Intended to Interest school boys, one of which is entitled "The Aigrette Has Lost Caste." It Included a letter from ex-Prenideiit lloosevelt declar ing that Mrs. Itoosevelt will not wear an aigrette, thus showing her disapproval of the slaughter ot the beautiful birds which bear them. Another work of the association is the purchase ot inlands off the coast of Florida and Louisiana, and their conversion Into havens of refuge for the millions of shore birds which Inhabit those regions. The year 19d caw the extinction ot one of the most beautiful species of birds America baa ever possessed the whits heron. Along with the great auk ,the white heron perished because of the love of woman for its beautiful plumage. It 1s said that over l.OCO.oot) robins are slaught ered annually in Louisiana alone, and the Department of Agriculture thinks that the ; eastward spread of the boll-weevil is to be traced directly to the destruction of these birds in the Mississippi country. It has been estimated that the annual loss from Insects in the United States amounts to something like $00,000,000, and that a large percentage of this sum might have been saved by the protection of all soft billed birds. One of the greatest natural deer parks In the world Is the Cocodrle swamp of Louisiana. It has been overrun this winter by a lot of hunters who shot the deer for their skins alone. More than COO carcasses already have been found and this Is known to be only a portion of them. The people of the community are up lu arms over this pot-hunter invasion, and It probably will result in some addition protective action by the Louisiana legislature. The other side of the game law question la shown in the experience of the farmers in. Shelby and adjoining counties la Iowa. Here the game laws have been enforced so rigidly that 400 deer are running at large and an noying the farmers by their depredations. The bucks in some instances have become ao ferocious as to attack school children. This splendid herd of deer has grown from a few animals which escaped from a pri vate park in Avoca, la., some ten years go. Out of the countless millions of American bi.son which roamed over this continent In the eighteenth century, less than 3,000 now remain as sombre, sentinels of a dying species. A bison census taken by William ' T. Hornady two years ago showed 1.H1 in the United States, fUO In Cunada and 130 . In Europe. In addition to these there were 345 hybrids called cattaloes a cross be tween buffalo and cattle. The last buffalo which is known to have associated with the great herds that roamed wild over the prairies of Canada, was Sir Donald, the veteran bull of the Banff herd. He was killed recently for museum purposes. This animal was captured In lt7 by James Mackay. All those which survive Sir Donald were born In captivity. In Alaska the caribou still roam wild, and herds con taining 10,000 animals are frequently seen. For deep-sea fishing the whaler St. Law rence broke the world's record last winter by capturing 818 whales In a single sea son. Of these 241 were hunmbucka, sixty six sulphur-bottoms, ten finbacks and one sperm whale. With all this great catch there was not a single serious accident. The modern whaler uses the latest twen tieth century methods in his work. He raisesthe dead whale to the surface with compressed air. An Incision Is made In the body and a connection established with the air pump. When the carcass Is sufficiently buoyant the Incision la plugged up with oakum and a buoy with a flag Is attached; the carcass is then turned adrift until the day's work Is over, when the whole catch ia towed to the whaling station. It has been said that In the great packing houses everything about a pig Is saved but his squeal; at a modern whaling station everything is saved but the spout. A western Inventor has patented a steel trap for catching fish. It Is very much like the ordinary steel-Jawed fox trap, ex cept that the Jaws are perpendicular in stead of horizontal. A hook is baited and the trap let down into the water; the mo ment a fish touches the bait the Jaws close and the victim is held secure. An other Inventor has patented a trap which catches the body of an animal as well as a leg. It consists of four upright pieces extending abovo the Jaws of the trap. When ex-Pretdent Roosevelt goes to Berlin he will find Kmperor William a no less enthusiastic sportsman than him self. As a hunter tiie kaiser has had some, exciting times und nothing but his office has prevented him from tackling the big game of Africa. At his hunting lodge at Potsdam simplicity marks everything. The hunting horses 'are all Knglish-bred roans, and tbo dogs are English (ox hounds, taken across the channel when they were pups. There are seventy hounds In the pack and the emperor personally has watched over their training. He has two sets of kennels, one of which Is occupied every other day, while the other Is being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. What the greyhound of this country is to the deer hunter the cheeta la to the na tive antelope hunters of Africa. It Is known as the bunting leopard. The only point where real skill comes into play In dealing with them ia In capturing the adult animal. The young cheeta cannot be trained as a hunter. There are certain trees to which the older bnes go to whet their claws and around these trees are tied many nooses of deer skin. The leg of the cheeta Is caught in on or these nooses when he begins his claw-sharpening opera tion. He Is then carried Into camp and his training begins. This consists in his being bound and blind-folded, tormented and starved, kept awake when he wants to sleep and handled so persistently and roughly In other way that he gives up In despair and becomes as abjectly tame as he formerly vai wild. When the training period la over, and he Is to play the part of the bunting dog, he is taken Into the field with a hood over his head. When fairly close upon the quarry he is given a sight of the game, and such a superb race ensue that one sportsman declared It worth a trip from Europe to Africa to see a single antelope caug,ht In this way. The cheeta Is perhaps nature's nearest combination of the cat and the dog. lu claws art only partially retractile, and It has ao many canine char acteristics that It aometlmea Is called the dog-cat. Very few of the American and English hunters who visit East Africa use the cheeta In their operations, i Tho North American big game Is now to be found mainly in Canada and Alaska. The moose. In addition to being monarch of the Canadian woods, la tha largest and moat powerful apeclea of deer now In exist ence. Like all other game It is now pro tected by stringent laws, and hunting is allowed for only a few weeks at the end of each year. The most popular method of hunting these animals Is known as "call ing." This is done by an Indian guide with a birch-bark trumpet, who Imitates the low of tho cow If this fails the call is changed to the sudhued challenge of the enraged bull. To complete this deception, the guide breaks off liranches of trees and thrashes his. horn against the bushes. What Is claimed to be the biggest moose ever killed In Canada Is one that waa shot this year on the shores .of Georgia bay. The spread of the horns is fifty-eight Inches and the length from hoof to horn fifteen feet, seven Inches. It required six days for four men to bring the carcass twenty-three . miles through the forest to the railway. BY rilZDEaUO J. XASKXjr. Tomorrow IO Jff ATION AI. MUSEUM. 1 Promptly Answered.
