Woman Braves Dangers of Lower Caliâ€" fornia in Search for Big Horn Sheep. Mr. and Mrs. Howard S. Reed, in their recent two months‘ t‘n§l in Lower Oaliâ€" fornia, shot more big horn sheep than ever before were secured by one huntâ€" ing party, and this means much, for the successful stalking of sheep on the penâ€" insula is regarded as one of the most difficult _ of â€" sccomplishments. _ The Reeds‘ nineteen victims were not only excellent :r«-hnom but included big horns of all ages. The big horn sheep, like the antelope, is growing very rare, and even in Lower California it taxes the ingenuity of a hunter to get a shot at one. Mr. Reed was anxious to secure specimens of all ages for preservation in some museum. Every animal shot was carefully meas ured, samples of shrubs or other food on which it may have been feeding gathâ€" ered, and a photograph taken. For the establishment of a museum of natural history in California Mr. Reed has conâ€" tributed money as well as his personal efforts, and his hope will probably be realized in the near future. Mrs. Reed has often taken her life in her hands. She can skin and preserve her game like a professional, knows woodcraft thoroughly and is a dead shot with the rifle. P“ii“e seems unknown to her. She and her husband are in perâ€" fect harmony in their love of the wilds. When in the field she wears a short khaki skirt, flannel shirt, khaki hat and elkskin shoes and leggings.

Coukiin, of New Lonâ€" don, Capt, Law, carried the largest conâ€" sizgnment of oyster sheils ever taken from this harbor when she sailed on Sunâ€" day. There were about 30,000 bushels of shells in the cargo, representing 30,009 gallons of oysters. The usual barge shipâ€" ment of shells from this port is between 10,000 and 15,000 bushels, although the largest previous cargo was 23,000 bushâ€" els. The shells are to be used in coverâ€" ing oyster beds in New Haven. They are put on the beds in preparaâ€" ti&n for the spawning season, which is efose at hand. _ Oyster spawn, unlike other fish spawn, is a creamy substance which rises to the surface of the water and after floating about in the form of scum sinks to the bottom and adheres to whatever hard substance it comes in contact with.. Thus the shelling of the beds facilitates propagation, and a large number of shells are used every year in that manner. The piles of shells from which shipments were being made conâ€" tained over 110,000 bushels before it was broken into.â€"From the Providence Tribune Queer Virginia Oysters. But sure enough, did you know there were some oysters, and Virginia oysters at that, which cannot live always under sheets of water? The seaside oyster does not grow in deep water, say over ten feet, and the most and best of them grow in water so shoal that it is dry ebb half the time. These latter are the most prolific seed bearers we have; but they will die if planted in deep water or in the Chesapeake Bay. The inside or bay oyster should never ebb bare to thrive best. Singular, isn‘t it, that the Virginia oysters, one and ‘the same bivalves, can lead a double life, but only one phase of it at a time The seaside fellow must be out of water a good portion of his time to thrive, while the bay and river fellow will die in summer and freeze in winter if exposed to the air.â€"From the Virginia Citizen.

A year or two ago a thrush‘s nest conâ€" taining two eggs was found snugly enâ€" sconced on the Westinghouse brake mpo of a carriage on an express train w ich had just returned to York from a trip to Newcastle. The nest, we are told, was "quite warm and eomfortable." About ‘the same time a couple of robâ€" ins built their nest on the axle 01 a colâ€" liery wagon which was standing idle for a few ;f;s at Saghill, Northumberiand. Six eggs were laid, and then the *wagon was started on its journeys again.
