Because the limited intelligence’ of the beaver goes no further than:its own immediate purposes, owners of property in the Adirondacks are wish- ing that the beaver was less indus- trious and seriously wondering what is to be done to stop the increasing number of these willing workers from decreasing the value and beauty of this famous region..The forest rangers of the conservation commission, says a writer in the Albany Journal, last summer estimated the undesirable re- sults that had followed the building of mearly 600 beaver dams, and found that an area .of about 8,681 acres had been flooded, and something like $51,- 000 worth of good merchantable stande ing timber was belng destroyed. Con- sidering that the number of beavers, now 'estimated at about 18,000 is be- lleved to be increasing about 3,000 a year, the damage bids fair to become a serious problem: Not only do they de- stroy valuable timber, but they are steadily changing the character of the Adirondack. scenery along the water courses and altering’ the shore line of | the lakes; yet the reglon without any ‘beavers at all would not be the Adi- ronducks as nature made it and as those who ‘now go there to enjoy its beauty like to find it, Time was when the beavers seemed likely to vanish, and the state took them under its pro- tection; now the danger seems to be that they are so well protected that they will eventually. “come back” In numbers out of proportion to 'the normal population of beavers when the Adirondacks were subject to the conditions of life in a wild country. NUMBERS IN_EAST AND WEST Difference of Opinion as to Whether Odd or Even Figures Are . Lucky or Unlucky. . We are pleased to-term thirteen an unlueky number, observes London An- swers, but in Japan the unlucky num- ber is four, and in Burmah even num- bers are all considered less lucky than odd ones. Our lucky numbers, or what are generally considered so by supersti- tious folk, are three and seven. If vou ask the reason you are told that God is Three in One, and that God made holy the seventh day. As for seven, this number is sup- posed to be lucky either by {itself or In its multiples. As an old writer says, a boy sheds his teeth at 7 years old; at 14 he becomes a youth; at 21 a man; while he reaches his grand climacteric at nine times 7—that is 63. The figure three is extraordinarily prominent in the Bible. Noah had three sons, and Job three friends. There were three patriarchs. Daniel’'s three companions were thrown into the flery furnace, and he himself was three days in the lions’ den. Had Lots of Pluck. George Thibault, proprietor of the summer hotel at Outlet, a village a- few miles from Picton, Ont., was driv- ing his car towards home recently when he chanced to nfeet a herd of cattle. The owner of the auto slowed down to allow the animals to pass without undue excitement. < All went well till he met the leader of this large ‘bovine .family, a splendid young roan bull. * The latter resented. the pres- ence of the mechanical contrivance bearing down through ‘the herd on low gear. Lowering his massive head, he charged, resulting in only a ‘few bruises to himself, but a twisted axle, a badly bent fender and a smashed headlight to the unfortunate motor. As Mr. Thibault inspected the damage he remarked emphatically: “I certain- ly admired ‘his pluck, but he showed poor judgment.” Ice Cut With a Gas-Driven Saw. For thé purpose. of cutting ice ex- peditiously during the last winter, there was devised a saw of an auto- mobile type power plant and a circu- lar saw at the end of an adjustable arm, so that the saw can be ralsed and lowered to the desired degree. The saw §8 pushed along on steel run- ners, thé operator behind furnishing the - ve power, . “A double lever arrangement just over the handle bars/serves to.control the. raising.and low’erlng of the saw. ' The _portable sdw in question’ cuts the ice into 20- Aoot squares. These sqnares #@re gulded through the water to a gang of four circular saws, which cut the squares into the ‘regulation sized cakes. ¥ The Alrplane in_Politics.

HUNTER, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who says Tanlac has cer- tainly proven its worth in both his own. and his wife’s case. He wasn’t ,ble to work when he began “Last fall I had the ‘Flu’ and it left me in a very weak and run down condition with no appetite at all and such a weak stomach that even the smell of cooking made me ‘sick. 1 was awfully nervous and night -after ‘night I couldn’t sleep to do any good. I would get up in the mornings tired and worn out and was so short of breath that a half hour’s job would tire me as much as a whole day’s work use to. In fact I finally had to give™up a good job. When I first started on Tanlac I was working for the Goodyear Rub- ber Co. in Akron, Ohio. I decided that anything that was being talked about so much was at least worth an honest trial. It worked like a charm in my case. It helped me right from the start and by the time I had taken my third bottle all of my troubles weré gone and I found myself well and strong again. “While in Akron my wife got so she couldn’t eat. She lost weight and got very pale. Tanlac was doing me 50 much good I got her to try it and after taking two bottles, she is look- ing fine .again. Her appetite is just splendid and she looks like a differ- ent person. It certainly has proven its worth to both of us and has come up to every word I have read and heard about it.” The above statement was made by A. O.
