While following the streams to trace the extinct hot springs the explorers reached a ravine in which the bones of many anim:ls, bears, deer, rabbits and squirre!s, were found. The presence of the remains caused the party much wonder, and a solution of the strange affair was found only when a crow that had been seen to fly from the side of the valley to a carcass that was yet fresh lit on its prey, and almost immediately fell to the ground. “The death of the bird,” continued Mr. McIntyre, ‘‘was caused by gaseous exhalations, whose presence in the park had been before unsuspected. The larger game also met its death by inhaling the deadly gas. The ravine is in the northeastern part of the park, eee of thé mining camp of Cooke Creek, and not far from the line of the mail route. - All about this re- gion gaseous exhalations are given off, which form sulphurous deposits. In the almost extinct hot-spring areas of Soda Butte, Lamar river and Cache and Miller creeks the ravine was found. This region is rarely visited, atthough it is an admirable spot for game, which, however, goes unmolested by man, the laws against hunting being very severe.

To that point the gus must have been driven by the wind, and its deadly nature may be easily guessed when it is remembered that the slight- est motion causes a diffusion of the ether that would tend to decrease its noxious properties. Here is the ex- planation of the oft-repeated assertion that game was being exterminated by hunters in the Yellowstone, notwith- standing the stringent laws that had been passed for the protection of ani- mals there. I bad seen it noted that each year bears, deer, mountain tigers and other wild animals were disap- pearing from the reservation, and it was asserted that friends of the people who had charge of the park were al- lowed to hunt there in defiance of the law. There were probably 150 bodies of wild animals in the gulch when I wasthere. But, although there were skeletons entire and single bones, it must not be supposed these were the remains of all the game that had found death in the ravine. They had ac- cumulated only since the last rain storm. Through this guich a mount- ain torrent runs when the snows have melted from the mountains or after a hard rain. Then all things, stones, bones and bodies, are tumbled together on their way down to the mouth of the guich. whence they are carried away in the creeks or are left to mark the course of the stream and bleach on the table lands.

BGiras and telegraph Wires. It has been supposed that birds be- come accustomed to the presence of telegraph wires, and are careful to avoid them in flying, but it would seem either that this is a mistake or that the birds on the Scotch ahd English moors are less intelligent than their fellows. Systematic observation there along a line of telegraph wires has shown that great destruction of bird-life goes on throughout the year, and that at cer- tain seasons the roadside is literally strewn with the remains of unfortunate grouse, black game, partridge, snipe and other birds Every morning at dawn marauding bands of rooks come from the lowland woods to feast on the dead and dying, and the farmers and shepherds in the region declare that more grouse are killed annually by the telegraph wires than by all the sports- men. —Sporteman. -— GREAT WASTE SPOTS. Large Areas That Are Entirely Destitute of Vegetation. The Sahara Desert, according to Mr. Joseph H. James is a diversified area 3,100 miles long by 600 wide. Summer is its only season, its days scorching, its nights cold. Its soil is chiefly gravel and coarse sand. Its oases en- able caravans to cross it, although much of the areais otherwise waterless and destitute of all vegetation and ani- mal life. The desert of Gobi, the Asi- atic Sahara, is more than 1,800 miles long and 500 wide. It is a plateau 5,000 feet high, a waste of sand and rock, with few oases, and only five trees in a distance of 500 miles. Ice forms nearly every night, and the tempera- ture often falls to thirty or forty degrees below zero. The interior of Australia rivals these two great deserta, and is the most terrible of all to travelers on account of its heat and the lack of wa- ter. It contains about a half-million square miles; anf the northern part is almost entirely destitute of vegetation. The Arabian desert is 9 sandy waste of about 50,600 square miles, ‘dotted here and there with a few ‘stunted bushes or dwarfed palms) A characteristic of this and other Asiatic deserts is the suffocating simoom. A large part of Persia is a desert tract, in which vegetation is so rare that one may travel 300 miles and see only one tree. Here the salt desert, with a porous crusted surface, often extends 100 miles in length by half as much in width. In South America the Puna extends for 350 Spanish miles in length at an elevation of 12,000 feet. A brown grass covers the ground, there are but few trees, and a single tuberous plant alone can be cultivated. Animal life is comparatively abundant. Another desert of Peru—now partially subdued by man and crossed by a railroad— stretches 1,200 miles along the Pacific, from 8 to50 miles wide) The Great American desert of the United States is a basin region of many hundreds of square miles ef rock, sand and alkali, with a scanty growth of sage brush and a little animal life. —Pioneer.

Noves, A Stupid English Superstition. SJACOBS Ol], FOR WATERMEN. Ee The following instance of a curious belief held by country folle may inter+ est some of your readers. An old man in this parish (in East Kent), who is in full possession of his faculties, and, moreover, has a considerable stock of knowledge of things connected with the farm and garden, informed me the other day of the following remarkable fact (!) in natural history. He told me, quite seriously, that if a hair be taken during summer from the tail of a horse and placed in a running stream, it would before long become a ‘water snake or an eel,” the result depending, it uppeared, upon the ‘breed of the horse."’ The root of the hair becomes the head of the new creature! This experiment he had tried, and though, somehow, he had not seen these hairs grow to full maturity, he had undoubt- edly seen life developed in them I feel sure my old friend thoroughly bo- lieved all this—he is too old to have studied biology at a board school or he might be wiser.
