GREAT BUFFALO HERDS Owvrrvd in Caiuda on 10,000 Mil*? Tract for Wild Bison Numbering possibly 15,000 aniwalit, the herd* of wild buffalo widen roam the territory west of the Slavs River and houth of the Great Slave Lake, in Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories and the buffalo in Yellowstone Park were the sole survivor* running at large of the millions of bison which once blackened the Western plains,., until the Wood liuffalo Park herd was augmented by shipments from- the (Canadian Wamwright herd. The Canadian government has set aside for their use 10,000 square miles of the wilderness. Within this area neither the white man nor the Indian may trap or hunt, buffalo rangers travel the country winter and summer to protect the animals from both two and four-legged dejiredators. The buffalo inhabit a country difficult of access. Many sloughs, muskegs, streams and rivers bar the way for those who would follow, but there are many plains growing sweet grasses and deop riverbeds where in the winter the biaon can feed on the fpur-foot-high red-top and other grasses. There are numerous salt licks and saline springs at which the bison congregate, and the suitability of the range is vouched for by tjtjeir sine, it being estimated by the rangers that some of the largest specimens will run to between 1,400 and 1,500 pounds. These animals are entirely wild and have never been fenced in or domesticated In any manner. In the past they were hunted assiduously by both natives and whites. With the protection afforded them in recent years their numbers have greatly increased.?New York Times.

TURK AT IN BIRTH CONTROL ?- . Practiced Uy Intellectual* To Dctri| utc-ut of llumvu Rati- . 4 . Ashevillc, N. C., Sept. 19.?Birth control, needed badly among morons 'and insane persons, is being practiced by the intellectual classes to the ' detriment of tty- human race, Dr. George C. Mosher, of Kansas City, Mo., told more than fifty surgeons and physicians of international reputations, gathered here Friday for the convention of the Aiperican. Association of Obstetricians, Gynecologists and Abdominal surgeons. Racial standards are being lowered by the widespread britii control practice, Dr. Mosher declared pointing out that only the ignorant and totally unfit are multiplying without restrictions and that such a condition is greatly to be deplored. Whether sterilization should be practiced and enforced by law among morons and congenital and hopeless mental defectives is a question to which there is only one answer, he said, and that answer is in the affirmative. He questioned the soundness of the Malthusian theory which holds the population of the world may sometime reach a saturation point and exceed the possibilities of food production. The birth rate is decreasing and the death rate is increasing at present, he declared. Proper obstetrics and prenatal clinics are doing a great deal to increase the expectancy of life, Dr. Mosher declared. Ue said there are only about one-half as many deaths among infants at birth as there were ten years ago. The expectancy of life, he said, according to insurance companies' vital statistics, in 1927, is 58 years. Present betterment of conditions will continue, it was predicted, and an individual may expect to live 61 years by 1930, and by 2100 the average life of the individual will be 94 years. Mrs. Samuel Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, thinks she has been given the j wj-ong baby in a maternity hospital,! having the impression that she overheard ho,r baby referred to as a boy.

Thirty-one snakes, each slightly over nine incheR long, and all almost as alike as peas, came out of a big water mocassin after it had been killed near here, it is related by James Sowers, lumberman Of Churchland. D. R. Kesler killed the snake in the Yadkin bpsin, and then brought it to Mr. Sowers' sawmill, where the latter pressed on the body of the snake with a stick and the little snakes began to crawl forth, licking their tongues in anger at being so rudely disturbed. They were collected, killed and counted, and the snake crop in the 1 basin of the High Rock lake, near the head of which these were taken, will thereby be lessened.
