THE CONDORS OP CALIFORNIA.
Great Ruzznrd Kings of the Pacific
Slope t ecoming Extinct.
One night in tLv '80s a heifer from
the Murietta ranch ir Southern Cali
fornia was killed b a mountain lion
that lived in the fastnesses back in
the San Bernandino range, says a
writer in the Centurv Magazine.
From cur camp the neAt day we no
ticed several buzzard- on a dead pine
up the hillside. One of the ranche
ros pointed to a lone speck floating
in the summer sky. "King of the
buzzards." he said. An jour later
the speck had increased in size, and
he pointed to another speck just,
within the scep? cf vision. The next
day the old Mexican took me up the
arroyo and I count* c 17 buzzards
and two other birds that seemed
twice the size of a buzzard, feasting
on the carcass of the heifer. I was
interested in the big birds, but the
only information I received was a
gesture back toward the highest peak
of the range.
Years later as my Interest in birds
grew I could get comparatively little
information about this "king of the
buzzards," . or California Condor
(Cathartes califorlanus), for not
many people had ever seen the bird,
and very few had first hand Informa
tion as to its nesting habits.
The repo/t that it was rapidly fol
lowing the great auk and that the
species would soon become extinct
was not without some foundation,
for the California condor has a range
more restricted than any other bird
of prey. In the early part of the
last century it was reported fairly
common as far north as the Colum
bia river region, but now it seems to
have entirely disappeared from that
locality. Once it was reported tu
Utah, and Dr. Elliott Coues saw <t
In Arizona in 1865. With the ex
ception of a record in southern Ore
gon, the habitat of the California
condor now seemr to be the region
from Monterey county, Cal., Bouth
through the mountains of the east
coast range and the extension of the
San Bernandino range into Lower
California. There is no recora of the
bird In Mexibo.
It is not surprising that collectors
lave searched the mountains and
that museums are willing to pay big
prices lor the eggs, for after a cor
respondence of several years W. Lee
Chambers has found that there are
ony 41 California condor eggs (26
flrs't class and 15 second class) in the
various museums and private collec
tions of the world, while there are
about "JO eggs of the great auk.
which is now extinct. There are
only half a dozen of the birds in cap
tivity, and that number is not likely
to be increased to any extent at pres
ent.
German Students More Temperate.
"When I was a student at Heidel
berg, twenty-flve yeara ago. the
amount of beer the Ptudents con
sumed was something astonishing,"
said Mr. J. N. Osborne of St. Louis
"In fact many of th^m drank to ex
cess, and the fellow who could put
away the biggest quantity was a sort
of hero. Now all that has changed,
as my son, who is studying at Heidel
berg, writes me. He says thai while
a good many of the students still use
beer, a goodly number are teetotalers
and that the wholesale swilling of the
old days has gone. I think thai
everybody will be glad t know tbat
sobriety has taken the place ui Intern

CATCHING FISH IN BASKETS.
An Easy Method Which Obtained
Around the Bay of Fundy.
The Bay of Fundy has always been
a famous fishing ground especially
for salmon and shad. Fifty years
ago the fish were so plentiful that a
method was used to catch them
which seems odd nowadays when a
fish has at least half a chance ?.o es
cape the hook or the net.
The tide rises high In the Bay of
Fundy and its headwaters, and of
this fact the fishermen of fifty years
ago took full advantage. At high
tide the water makes sizable rivers
of tiny streams. Large schools of
shad and other fish in those days
came up the river with the tide.
The method of catching them was
simple in the extreme. At low tide
a seine would be staked to the river
bed and cae top of the seine weight
ed to the bottom with leads. Then
after the tide had risen the fisher
men would pull up the seine so that
it formed a barrier across the entire
river bed.
Wuen the tide began to run out
the fish would find their return to
the sea and freeuom barred effect
ively. The little fellowj. or cours^
would make their way through the
seine, but the ones worth catching
would flop impotently against the
[ meshes.
Soon the tide would be out com
pletely, leaving only a foot of water
in the river. Several thousand fish
would be there for the taking. A
pair of rubber boots and ;a basket
would be sufficient equipment for
the fishermen, who waded out ant'
gathered tb?:rn in wholesale.
The fish aon't run up the. rivers
?any more, and the seining must he
done In the bay itself. This Is prof
itable, it is true, but a fisb with half
a head can avoid- capture for a long
time.
Iron Canes for Exercise.
Among fashionable accessories of
the masculine costume the very new
est item is the ircn cane. It weighs
possibly seven and a half pounds,
and it is intended as an exerciser.
For the business man who has lit
tle time for ohest weights, dumbbells
and all the other devices for keeping
himself in trim the cane may prove a
boon. It can be used as one walks
in the open air, and consequently ii
the city man's nearest substitute for
the natural exercise wnich comeB
from outdoor sports. While walking
along the cane may be swung first In
one hand and then in the other, so
that development will be uniform.
So If men of so me who. portly
build o.- of Jaded, overworned com
plexion or otherwise afflicted with
the signs of city confinement and
lack of exercise are observed during
the next few months promenading
the city streets and gracefully, light
ly, airily swinging canes after the
manner of major domos, the specta
cle wiii not be caused by a sudden
attack of springtime gayety. It will
6imply be the man with the Iron
caue out for his ''ally stroll.
Coffee, the insptrcr.
The Italian composer, Donizetti,
c nrted Inspiration by a means
which proved so injurious that It
caused the premature decay of his
faculties. He -vas accustomed to
shut himself in his room with j.
quantity of mu:t?c paper, pens, and
ink, and three or four pots of strong
coffee. He would then begin to
write and drink, and when the sup
ply of coffee was exbaustt-a, he
would order more, and continue to
drin:t as long as he wrote.
He asserted that the coffee was
necessary for his Inspiration. The
result of this pernlciojs habit? was
a yellow, parchment like complexion
with lips aim- t Jet black, and a
nenous system, which soon caused
his breakdown and dc-ath

HER BOY.
The long-looked-for and much
dreaded day had come at last! Wil
lie Knight was going to see his moth,
er for the first time in fiv? years, and
he was but nine now. Colonel and
Mrs. Knight lived In India at the
time of Willie's birth. She was the
acknowledged beauty of the station
and could give no time from the
whirl and excitement of army life t(
care about the baby boy who ha'i
come to her. and it was a great re,
lief when a sister had offered to tak<
the "jaby and his ayah back to Eng
land with her. When he was 6 year
old Willie was sent to boarding
school, on'y leaving it occasionally tr
pay a visit to his aunt.
Mrs. Knight had met with a verj
serious accident while out ndln6 oti>
day.'ana as she lay for week: on he.

I vlted to attend the exercises. Aftei

For the first time ir his life Willi'
displayed some anxiety as to his per

C( Delusion that even an ordin?r?
mother could not possibiy i'ecl prom
.*. h.m. His hair had a knack of
standing up in little tufts, nie nose
vas a very funny little affair, his
eeks were smothered with freckles,
and he never had vioticed oefore thai
his feet and' hands'"were altogethei
out of pi jportion to the rest of his
Lody. "I wish she'was just an ordi
nary mother and not such t greai
lady," he thought, and the fears were
pretty hard to kee.i back.
But the gong had sounded and tht
boys gathered ready to march into
the great hall. Herc the visitor?
?-ere assembled and the eyes of the
t-cys eagerly .icught out t'scr lovcc
ones. "That beaut ful tall lady musi
be mother,'" thought Willie, but no
Stt was smiling at a bay tne ethei
side of the room. The opening ex
r. olsos had started, and still W.llie >
eyc>3 were searching the throng ot
uuppy taces, and his heart began t
sink as he realized that after all she
was not there. "She uo?sn't care," he
thought, while the tears of dlsap
loinTient welled up in.o Ms eyes,
"and she never 1 as cared."
Bu. he was suddenly Drought back
to the present by a vig rous nudge
irom bis neighbor. "See that tali
man. ti foot-4 sure." he whispered,
"and soldier, too. 1 bet."
"isn't he a danay?" replied W'llie
with genuine admiration. "1 won

I," came the answer, and with a cu
riouT thrill vV'IMe began to realize
that he had a father, too. a soldier,
and he wondered how he would look.
