Of All Wild Animals, the Bushy-Tailed Rascal Is the Hardest to Trap. but Is Altogether Undeserv ing of Mercy. In the Opillion of trappers, the fox Is the muost cuiing and resourceful of :'ll the wild animals. Ile often fools 1lie Most expert i 'trapper and the truest u1111 fastest of (logs. Some trappers who are very successful in catching 11111ny other fur-henllreis state that they do not helieve It possible. to .take Hey nard in a steel tria). This, of course, is not the case-In faet, he Is as easy to catch in a steel trap as the mink, provided the trapper thoroughly un derstancis his business. All that Is necessary is a careful study of the aid murl's nature and habits. The fox lives on small game, birds, eggs nd poultry. He imiakes his den in sandy hillsides, and in it the female rears froimi three to seven puppies, whileh are born in the early spring. iPoruary iN the season Iteynard goes woo)ing, and lie travels far and wide In search of sweethearts, faithful to none, for his love is more fleetig thanl Ihe fool)l tpits he leaves In the drifting "fnow. The fox's sense of snimeli is highly developed, and by it lie letects the Ilianger of tle trap. ''lh scent left by human hAnds and Ihe scent left on' the trill; by other animnils caught in it Are quIckly letected. "A successful fox trapper must be a keen observer of details," writes C. A. H1olimes. a special game protector, In a recent issue of the New York state conservation bulletin, in de scribing different methods of hunting and (rapping foxes. "Ile must realize that lie is pitting his wits against one of the most cunning of animals that ronis the silent places of the hills and valleys. Ilecently I madet an experi niptital set which resulted in the tak ing of one of the oldest, largest aind wisest foxes in this viclnity. I no ticed that the fox in question did not seem to take alarm at my trail over an (d woods road, and ns the snow was quite deep, wotuld even take ad vantage of the better traveling by fol lowing in my tracks as far as lie enred to go in my direction. That Is the way of the fox-he Is not blindly afraid of man, but. trusts to his wits to keep him out of trouble. He knew that the trail was mande by a man walking,. and lie also knew that the danger lay not in the trail, but in the man hiiself.' "After I had traveled this old road several times, and had notleed Mr. Fox was in the habit of following me nearly every night, I pickej out a bush that stood close by the traill, to serve as a mark for loeating tho trap, and howe I set two jumip traps in'one of my own footprints, with a sheet of Plean paper beneath the traps, an otheir sheet on top. and an inch of snow lightly brushed over ill. I fas tined the chains to clogs burled In the snow at the side' of the trail and went on 11hou 11mly business. "Th next inorning Heynard was waitinag for me, a t rap on each front foot. I would not have captured this fox had I not uma de t his experimental set ini thle trail, and it only goes to show thle vaglute of observa tion to the ox periencedl trappe111r. "Every'3 sportsmian should realize that one of t he wvorst enemuies of wild life is thle fox--cunning, vicious, liodthirsIty-it kills for the love of ilinmg. The warmn blood of its vie thns is its fountain of youth. Every~ fox shot or- cauight in a trap means just so miany iire grouse, phensants an'il rabilts-to say nothIi ng anhout the value of the fur.

LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR Great Conflict May Be Said in a Mea. uro to Have Revolutionized Our Methods of Speech. It Is generally admitted that the wtr has revolilloitzeil tmlhols of pech its it lis revolitionized war fare. TI1e solilers of tile ti'enches have added ti.-re words to the lano gunge of siliple 1en01 than would be adtided lit 25 years of peace. "Strafe," "iblighty," "icishy"--oie itoght till a page withi the strange language which has comle into lse. Thle sohil's adopt slang as does a schoolboy, anid to luse Ilang iintead of ordinary words suggests a certain de gree of knowlingness and inlitialon. It also appei.% to tihe sense of hiuitmor, and as the soldiers become hardened to warfare they thrust aside emotions an(] talk slang to avoid the old forms of speech whiclh might cause them to think too much. The American who called a ceme tery a "hone orchard" revealed a bit of Imagination an( at the same time concealed his real feelings. The sol dier who tells you th'at at the moment of dangeri he "crept into the tall grass" mens that he slipped away andl made himself invisble-and lie has coined nn linage as well as a phrase. Together with the slang words and phrases iust be nietnt!oned the new words enined or old words used In a new way. A lurge number of words has deve!oped fromu the use of air plane; aircraft. arimn, airscout, pur suit plnite, hoibinar pilne. eimlpennage (the stlabilizing hldones of the air pin)lne) , nileronl (n lateral balancing plane), aylon, escadrille (nil airplane 1it), etc. Other examples are the words de scriptive of military tactics. Some of these atre liaison (co-operation) be tween forces; harrage, camouflage, lis tening post, gas mask, gas shell. The "Sink of Gold." As an old corresponient of yours on this dull problem of excitainge permit mne to pitt in a word with reference to your editorial article on "Fluid Gold's World Flow." You think that "hy the triangular rendjustment of interna tionalbanking the gold wilch we sent to the Orient (India and Chir,a) nay find its way to London." This view, a most dangerous misconception, has al ready proved the parent of infinite dis aster. Since in 1893, and in deflance of every warning, England changed the standard of vaille in Indin fromn silver to gold, we have pitched 250, 000,000 gold sovereigns into the small hoards of Indin, never to return, irrev ocably lost to Western trade and the exchange. That drain, Indin being now tle "sink of gold." has destroyed England's "gold standard," as for a quarter of a century hi your columIns I have foretold. It will next destroy yours. The favorable trade balances of Asia, at present gold prices, will if paid in gold drain you (ry !it the con Ing quarter of a century.-Letter in the New York Sun. Gasoline Consumption.
