Good and Bad Scenting Days How Hound Lose and Recover the Trail. Fallen Leaves as a Help to the Hunted Fox. If thcro Is ono thing more thnn an other than has vexed the minds of sportsmen through countless tentur m, It Is the QiicHtlou of "scent" that remarkable commodity which Is so necessary -to the success of tha hunter. And yet even In this twen tieth century, says the London Daily Mall, with all the amitnulated know ledge of successive generations at our disposal, It Is doubtful whether we know much more about the mysteries of scent than did Nlmrod, who, so far as we know, was the mightiest hun ter of early days As to N'lmrod and his methods of hunting we are actually told but little lor he is only referred to twice In all Uio writings of ancient days that are fcivtu to us, and no mention Is inside of his hounds. But we have records of ono Marrl who Is held by many oM tlino writers to be one and the same us the mighty hunter of Genesis undjio certainly bunted with hounds tho latter being Invariably mention ed with his name. At that very remote period, there fore, the usefulness of the hound us a trucker of wild beasts had been rec ognized and doubtless everything va Juno then, us it is to this duy, 10 en courage the natural instinct of the canine raco In this particular with a vi".w to aiding man In the chase. Yet after all theso days there is nut un M. F. H. In tho land, or u huntsman either, who can toll you why It is that under precisely similar meteoro ltglral conditions hounds can run on a burning scent all day on the Mon day, and can scarcely raise a whim per on the i uesday, though the fox bo but half a field ahead of thef. Many theories have been advanced to explain the vagaries of scent, but none of them is entirely satisfactory. Some no doubt still pin their faith to the words of tha poet who declared that A southerly wln4 and a cloudy sky, True aim a hunting morning. Rut as a matter of fact neither the one nor the other will make scent "hang" If so be that Providence wills It otherwise. You cannot Indeed lay down any hard and fast rule concern ing so variable and Intangible a thing as scent, which Is generally at its best when you least expect 1L Country folk will frequently tell you that scent la never good during the fall of the leaf In autumn or, In deed until tb fallen leaves have be come rotten, The reason given in support of this argument is that the fox whQe running turns over the leaves as he goes along accidentally of course! and so conceals his tracks as It were, behind him. It must be a careful Sox that could accomplish this slight of foot with any degree of accuracy and a poor nos ed pack of hound that come not own hla scent through the shallow density of a withered leaf. But the yokel 1 quite right up to a certain point in his argument. Scent very often is at its worst during tie leaf fall but tha. is because the smell of decaying leaves themselves is so pugent that it baffles the noses of the pack unless the fox carry a very pronounced odor of his own. Perhape it is bo cause, like the countryman, we some times forget side lseueB of this des cription that we are often puzzled by the mysteries of soent. One point In particular in regard to fccont seems Impossible of solution. A fox slips away on one side of a cov ert while 'hounds are drawing on iue other. Somebody sees him and shouts a view hallo! Along comes the hunts-, man at his best speed and lays on his hounds at the spot where tho afore said person swears that the fox lett the wood, but not a hound In tho pack will own the line; never a whim per breaks in upon the expectant sll noe of the eager field. Cast after cast Is made but to no purpose, and eventually the huntsman moves off to resume his draw, futtering to hlm elf that he "don't believe there weren't no fox at all." For all that, twenty minutes later, whon hounds happen again to be pass ing that way toward the next covert, suddenly there Is a whimper hero and another there, and away they go like pack possessed right across the field and through the very gap in yonder hedgo that had been pointed out to the unbelieving huntsman. "Well, I never!" remarks that worthy, "and old Mr. Stigglns was right after all." Swnt certainly at times hangs well !s n high wind, Just .is certainly ns 'in a very still day it will unaccounta bly disappear all of a sudden. But tWe are days when the wind la high and the ground wet, at which times i here muBt be plenty of evaporation wing on, but never a vestige of scent Is to be discovered, although half a own foxes may leave covert be fore your very eyes.

Largest Flush Eating Animals in the World Not Excepting Lion. Very few persons really know that the largest nosh eating animals In the world are found In America Peoplo generally believe that the African lion is the king of beasts. but he Is not nearly as large or as powerful an animal as the large brown bear of subartlc America. The bears are not as ferocious or combatlvo as the Hons, nor are thoy nearly as vicious as they are given credit for being; but the largest of them are much larger and more pow erful than any of the Hons. It Is rafe to say that the largest of the brown bears of . the North would weigh three times as much as the largest specimen of Hon, and Is be yond all question greatly superior in strength. If brought together in combat, the bear would at first appear very clumsy, says Scrlbner's Magazine, It would not be capable of the quick rush or the catlike spring of the lion, It would not attack, but would re main entirely on the defensive, meet ing its adversary with blows of such rapidity and terrific force as at once to Illustrate its superiority not only In strength but in action. I do not believe that there la an animal In the world that can act more quickly or effectively or can aim IU blows with greater certainty than the bear. The large brows bears of the Alaska peninsula, south of Bering Sea, are among the largest bears of the world, and It Is evident that there 1 no part of the world outside of America In which sueh large flesh eating animals are found. The beasts are flesh eaters, or carni vorous yet there are none of then that depend upon flesh for food, and with most of them flesh comprises but a very small percentage of their food. Heroine of a Siege. Among the rank and file of the Russian prisoners of war from Port Arthur the name of Harltlna Korot- kevltch is reverenced as the heroine wm mm y .J 4r J.". of the siege. Twenty-seven years of age, she accompanied her husban 1, a private in the Thirteenth Rifle Regi ment, to Port Arthur and got per mission to don a private's uniform and to fight with the others. V ith such gallantry and conspicuous b-sv-ery did she take her part that she received the complete set (four) of tho St. George's Cross. Toward the end of the siege she was with her husband In the first fighting lino de fending ono of tho forts when a Ja panese shell literally blew her to pieces. Her husband was badly wounded in the same engagement and is now in the Red Cross Hospital at Matsuyama. The grief among the soldiers when the news went around that "Private" Harltlna was dead was Intense. iPf ill a s J CHEAP BOOKS 1 To close out an estate a private library is tor sale.
