When the werk of making 2 list of the defunct corporations of Kansas has been completed in the office of the secretary of state, it will probably -be found that be- tween 6,000 and 7,000 companies and or- ganizations have found places in the cor- poration graveyard of this state in the Past ten years. When W. E. Bush, secretary of state, de- termined some time ago to enforce- the law requiring corporations to file annual reports of their business, there were, ac- cording to the records, 12,000 companies doing business in Kansas under charters granted by the state. Charter after char- ter had been granted to companies of all kinds during the boom period, and nothing had been heard from them. No statement had ever been called for, and there were no records to show what companies were doing an active business. Many of the compantes died so long ago that their existence was forgotten, and postmasters could find no one to whom to deliver Secretary Bush's letters asking for statements. Such letters were duly stamp- ed “unclaimed,” and returned to the secre- tary of state. They are returned faster than Morris Cain, the clerk in the secre- tary’s office who has charge of the mat- ter, can open and record them. There are now over a thousand such letters stack- ed under Cain’s desk waiting to be re- corded. In the matter of dead corporations Wy- andotte county takes the lead. Cain says there are néarly five hundred defunct char- tered companies in and around City, Kan. Shawnee county comes second, with about 200 dead corporations, and Johnson, Leavenworth and Sedgwick coun- ties are not far behind. Reno county makes the best showing in 1 ‘oportion to its pop- ulation. Not more than twenty-five or. thirty corporations have died out there. -oo——__—_ Professor Thompeon thinks that perhaps all insects communicate with each other by means of some, to us, invisible radia- tion.

From the Army and Navy Journal. A party of four of us left Bath for the upper part of Meine for a four days’ hunt- ing trip on February 12. There was one man atnong us, Orderly Sergeant Richard- son, U.S.A., at Fcrt Popham, Me., still in the service. On the third morning three of us—th> sergeant, another and myself—left camp together in search of game, the snow faliing thick, but calm; no wind. We had not gone n:ore than a mile from camp when we saw on the next ridge (a_hiil- side) five caribou standing in such an open place that it was almost impossible to get nearer to them without being seen. After a wait of some time for them to change~ their position, that we might advance and get a shot of more certainty, our silence was broken by the sergeant’s remark that he had killed deer as far away as that, and though* he could kill one of these. We all agreed to let him take a shot, and estimat- ed the distaice at 500 yards. When he got ia his position, which he calls the Texas grip, and selecting the cne on the right, told us to look out for him, at the crack of his rifle, to my great surprise, down came the animal with his back broken. The others being bewildered, ran in a cir- cle like, coming to a standstill somewhat nearer to us. All hands estimated 450 yards. Again he selected the one cn the right, and at the crack of the gun again the animal droppe&’, shot through the heart. The other three leaped off in an- other direction, as we estimated, 600 yards. Then the sergeant adjust his sights to that distance, and to my g¥eat surprise he killed the third one. The other two sep- arated and one of them came back near to the first one that was shot, when he stood broadside to us, and the sergeant fired, but shot low and broke both front legs just above the knec. After a little skirmishing about in the brush we found him, and one more shot from the old Springfield rifle, with the sergeant behind it, gave us four out of five caribou and only five shots fired, and by only one man at that. We went into camp with flying colors, and were the center of attraction that evening. One of the purty inquired of the ser- geant wHere he had obtained such profi- ciency in marksrranship, when he pulled his coat open and exhibited a splendid gold badge from the army, a distinguished marksman’s medal, won by him in 1889 in the division competition of the army, de- partment of th2 cast. Our party were on this hunt for several dys and kitled six deer, two elk aid four caribou, of which Sergt. Richardson killed four caribou, three deer and one elk, and he killed them all over 300 yards, except one deer, which he shot on the run and about 150 yards’ dis- tance, breaking his neck.’ 8.

During the excavations in th2 ccnstruction of sewage works for the town the workmen came acrosswhat has since proved to be a massive oak tree, with two immense branches. Pzof, Boyd Dawkins, the well-known antiquary,iis of opinion that the tree is one of theigiants of pre- historic times, and says. that it is certainly 10,000 years old. The carporation of Stock- pert is at a loss what to do with the gi- gantic fossil, which is supposed to weigh abcut forty tons, and; as it is necessary that it should be removed,-a proposal has been made to blow it up with dynamite. This has aroused the indignation of a large section of the public, and efforts are being made to bring pressure to bear upon the council to preserve the tree forthe benefit of the town and the country.

The agricultural statistics issued from the meteorological office last night show that the entire Kingdom has added another warm week to its already long record. Ther2 was a little seagonable feeling in the air in the early days of the week, with a northwest wind and a few slight snow showers, but only trifling frost- was registered at night, the rest of the period being very mild, with night temperatures nowhere near the fre2z- i.g point and day readings up in the fifties. For the whole country there was an excéss of thre2 degrees in the temperature, all districts showing a good excess of growing weather and a considerable falling off in the amount of temperature unfavorable to Browth. Only the north of Ireland and the north and west of Scotland had more rain than usual, other. localitizs receiving but small amounts. Bright sunshine was good, except in the east and southwest of Eng- land, where, however, the deficiency was merely nominal. Thus far the season has been so excep- tional as to mvite a comparison between it and the same period three years ago to show the excessive extrem2s to which we LOCAL BOWLERS WON| Saengerbund Team Played the Balti- more Catholic Club. TWO GAMES OUT OF THREE TAKEN Practically Champions Now of the Two Cities. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The bowling team of the Washington Saengerbund went to Baltimore last night, accompanied by a big party of rooters, to play off the final series of games with the team from the Baltimore Catholic Club. Each team having previously won three games in a scries of six, last night's match was arranged to settle the supremacy, and to make the rratter fair to both, the alleys at the “Diamond” in Baltimore were se- lected. The result was a splendid victory for the Washington team, the Baltimoreans being defeatel in two games of the three. In spite of the fact that admission to the alleys was by card only, the attendance crowded the place to the utmost, and the good plays of both sides were loudiy cheered. The Saengerbund can now practically jclaim the champiorship of the two cities, as the Catholic Club seems to be the best of the monumental! city teams.

Five hurdred dollars a side was named as forfeit mcney, and side bet, and 50 per cent of the gate receipts as the purse. After a lively tilt it was agreed that the referee should be named at 3 o'clock on the day of the match. Both Yousouf and Roe- ber will begin training at once. Each seems confident of success.
