HARRISON Editor (i, | Published every Monday and Thursday aad entered in the Postofice at Ligoaier, Ind., as second class matter. m Creatures of the Wild Use Ad- - - vertising Tactics. In Love-Making and the Warding Off of Enemies, Employment of Publicity Is Common.

That creatures of the wild know the value of advertising just as well as do human beings is indicated by signs that may be seen by any one who goes into the country. ! ; ~ Often this advertising may be just a dodge on the part of the insect or animal to avoid the attentions of another creature who has designs upoz him as a delectable dinner morsel, ' This peculiarity of nature is notlceable in regard to the butterfly, which is an ingenious little publicity merchant. Certain kinds of butterflies have noxfous qualities which are not to the liking of birds, but there are other species which are just the reverse. The latter consequently assume the colerings of the former and so, by advertising their undesirability as food, manage to preserve their lives, says an English writer. : ; | The same tactics are adopted by beetles, but it is from bird and animnl life that we get the best examples. Qertain kinds of snipe, for instance, set up a peculiar shriek as soon as they catch sight of & shooting party, and this is kept up until they have advertised far and wide that the gunners are on the lookout, - S Wild sheep, also, are clever in this respect. ;gmy need only to see one of their number at attention, with head up and ears.pi‘icke’d forward, to become suspicious and ready for flight. Again, when deer register the presence of a foe. they send a signal to every member of the band to be cautious. ' ’ The wild bellow of the lion is often uttered not because he is angered and ready to fight. He khows that to keep away -his foes he has but to remind them of his power,vand he does so by proclaiming his strength far and wide. With just the same object does the rattlesnake shake its castanets. The sound of them reaches the ears of his foes and, awed with the dreadful warning of the snake’s latent power, they rapidly disappear. ' i

But it iz at the mating season in the wild that the full power of publicity is brought to bear. - There is a general flaunting of color and parade of ‘strength, with the object of proving to a possible mate how much more desirable than his rival each one is. ' ~ This competition for favor is particularly outstanding in bird life, and the display of colors and ornaments to catch the female ‘eye is carried to perfection. The great peacock, while conscious of his beauty, at the same time is aware that his rival may be Just as beautiful, and to oust him from favor he tidies himself up and, as it were, puts on his Sunday best. - ‘Birds of paradise wave their wonderful silky plumes, and the humming-bird with great skill flashes his gems among the flowers, making a perfect colorscheme, . . Other birds, less fortunate in the Mmatter ofscolor, find the power of song a great factor in gaining favor; so these songsters chant their sweetest melodies or chirrup and whistle as best they can. - . < ~ Even the lumbering alligator knows how to advertise, and, in searching for a bride, does his best to stage a fight so that the lady of his choice may see him come forth the victor! ; The same applies, writes Ernest Ingersoll, in “The Wit of the Wild” to lions and tigers, and even the monkey, 80 if you see any of those fellows vainly strutting about at a zoo, don’t laugh. They know what they are doing! -

‘Granddaddy of Kangaroo?

A footprint made by an'animal believed by scientists to be the grandfather of the kangaroo has just been found in an ancient lagoon in the Hastings_ (England) district, The animal which made the imprint, many thousands of years ago, is called by experts the iguanodon, one of the members of the dinosaur family, of which numerous traces have been found in Ameriea and reconstructed In American museums. : . The iguanodon is supposed to have been’ 20 to 30 feet in height. Its footprint, a cast of which has just been exhibited to the members of the Geologists’ association here, covered an area of nearly four square feet. vw ¢ ‘ : ~ Impressions of its toes -indicated that this iguanodon was in rapid motion, suggesting the possibility that an ancient ' sabre-toothed tiger was

incident That Iliustrates the Sturdy ~ Independence Characteristic of Benjamin Frankiin. o

The sturdy independence that was characteristic of Benjamin Franklin, says the Argonaut, is illustrated in an anecdote for which we are indebted to Jared Sparks. As everyone knows, Frankljn established and conducted a newspaper in Philadelphia. At first he was everything ‘from gatherer of news to typesetter, pressman and distributer of the paper. : Shortly after Franklin had establshed his newspaper he found oceasion to remark with some degree of freedom on the public conduct of one or two persons of high standing in Philadelphia. What he said met with the disappoval of some of his patrons. They told him what they thought of it and warned him of the danger of losing the interest of influential persons. L ; Franklin listenéd patiently and apswered by requesting them to favor him with their company at dinner and to bring with them the other gentlemen of whom they had spoken as havIng expressed dissatisfaction. The night of the dinner ‘came, and the guests assembled. Franklin received them cordially. o When the guests seated themselves round the table they were surprised to see nothing before them except a stone pitcher filled with water and two puddings made of coarse meal! and popularly known as “sawdust puddings.” . , ; ' - Franklin helped each of his guests to a liberal portion of pudding and plenty of clear cold water. Then he began to eat and urged all his guests to do the same. The gentlemen were accustomed to far better fare. They taxed their politeness to the utmost, but their appetites refused to obey. Franklin saw that they were not eating. He rose and sald: “My friends, observe that anyone who can subsist upon sawdust pudding and water, as I can, needs no man's patronage.” * -

_ Cure for Bleepihg Sickness. A sleeping sickness cure has been digcovered by a sclentific expedition after numerous experiments, according to reports from Johannesburg, South Africa. The report says that the ex: pedition has gone to Northern Rho desia, to test the efficacy of the cure under troplical conditions. It is be lleved that the remedy will not only cure but prevent the disease and the animal variant Ngana. What is an important fact is that a cure for Ngana and sleeping sickness will open thg wide tracts .of Zululand to cattle farming, and will remove a tremen dous scourge at once and forever In this connection it is said that the bacillus which causes sleeping sicknes: and Ngana enters the blood of the animal and reaches the cerebro-spinal fluid. Then follow drowsiness and growing emaciation. These terminate in death, The bacillus, however, hai been isolated and its origin has been traced to game, particularly to such big game as was to be found in the Addo bush, and which was slaughtered largely in a recent expedition,

Right Royal Street.

When Princess Mary is married and settled at Chesterfield house, in South Audley street, she will find herself in a thoroughfare which has housed many members of royal families ir the past, though, in most cases, undel far less happy cenditions, observes g correspondent. The street was buill in 1728, and In it lived, in exile, Charles |X, of France, at the hous¢ numbered 72. In 1814 Louis XVIII was dwelling there, while for the best part of a century the representatives of the king of Portugal lived at No 74. In June 1820, Queen Caroling the injured consort of George IV., ar riving from the Continent took uj her residence at No. 77, and from 1 balcony there she was frequently com pelled to bow to a sympathetic mok in the street below, In 1826 the duke¢ of York was living at Cambridge house, in South Audley street, th¢ mansion which was-afterwards knows as Curzon house, the London homt of Earl Howe’s family until 1876.

Woman Was Unduly Alarmed at Gruesome Story Which She OverhearcL’ : in the Street Car.

A Columbus woman In a trip on an interurban car recently sat behind two women who were holding an ‘animated conversation, the Indianapolis News relates. She paid no attention to the talk until a part of a sentence rea«'che;’hjef, ear, through the neise of the car—“ln an awful fix, with both legs disjointed.” The woman was impressed with this tale of suffering and while she was considering it another bit of the conversation was wafted to her ears over the roar of the wheels—*and one foot nearly off.” This was positively distressing, and the woman meved uneasily in her seat, stretching both feet to assure herself they were in proper condition. Buzz, buzz, went the voices, and then —*"a hand all mashed.” By this time the woman was. having horrifled visions ‘of a mangled body. “A wreck,” she sald to herself, and to add to her horror the train made a sudden terrible jolt which sent her heart to her-mouth, figuratively Epeaking. A smooth place in the road enabled her to hear the last of fhe gruesome tale: *“lt would cost as much to send it to a doll hospital as it would to get a new one, so I'm just going to buy her a new one.”
