The offering of the prizes grew out of the advisory council meeting Cattaraugus Farm Bureau at Salamanca. At the meeting, the extension work being done by the State College of Agriculture on the reservation waa explained by a representative of the college, and William Hoag, prestdfnt of the Seneca Nationr., told some of the dlfflcultlw being encountered. It was apparent that the commit'eemen were much interested in * bat they had learned. I*. G. Klrklanl of Randolph, formerly a member o the executive committee of the 'tale Dairymen's League, said he would rive a purebred registered Holstein mil calf to be used as a prize in Jut lor calf club work on the Allegany ir-er-

vatlon.

During the noon hour. W. C. Ben; ley, also of Randolph, duplicated Mr. h '.rkland's offer. Glenn W. Hall of Dayton did not i repose to see the Cattaraugus rescr atlon outdone by the Allegany, and s..ld he would give a purebred c*.!T r a prize for the Cattaraugus rest.—-dons boys and girls. A. P. Aus. of Otto, thought Cattaraugus ought to hare two prize*, the same aa Allegany, and » he offered a purebred Ayershlre calf. i one could doubt Chief Hoag’s pleasure and gratitude. The first gift, that of Mr. Kirklani. caused him so much Joy that he refused to stay for the luncheon, which formed a part of the meeting, but said that he wanted to hasten home and spread the good

news.

When he learned of th«* other gifts, be declared that It was the biggest day’s work he had ever done, usual methods of communication were too slow to carry the news tc the Cattaraugus reservation, and so he resorted to the white man's telegraph.

mllra nerthwestward from its present head, aays the Bulletin, which quotes from a communication to the society by Arthur P. Davis. It also extended up the preaent valley of the Colorado River at least to Yuma and possibly somewhere above. The Colorado River, rising in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, carved the rock* along It* conrse and brought the lesulting sands and mud down In It* swift current, discharging them Into the arm of the gulf near Yuma. . As the process went on without cessation, century after century, the valley waa gradurily filled, a delta over which the river flowed far Into the gulf. It encroached progressively upon the shore* of toe gulf unUl It built up a delta Mill rely across. Joining the foothills of the Coco pah mountains on the weaiem shore. This cut off the head of the gulf, and the arid climate rapidly evaporated the waters thus separated and left an Inland depression, which at its :-*weet point were nearlj 300 feet below so* Ic.el. It Is estimated that the amount of salt carried by the Lower Colorado river la sufficient to cover fifty-three square mllee one foot deep with dry alluvial soil each year. The river continued to bring down Its load of sediment and to build delta higher and higher and force It farther Into the gulf. Like all such deltaic streams, the channel on the top of the delta Is constantly shifting, cutting one bank, bnllding up the

other.

In thlsvway the river has from time to time (loved in.o the Salton Sea for some years or centuries, and shifted to the eastward and discharged again Into the gulf. This is the general course the river has fallowed ever since its discovery by the Spaniards In the sixteenth century. At high water the river normally overflows its banks in the valley regions all the way from the Grand Canyon to the Gulf of California. In unusually high water, such as occurred In 1891, the overflow running into the Salton Sink has been sufficient to materially raise the level of the lake and -erflow the tracks ot the Southern Pacific Railway, whlcn are built along its shores.

Wheaton, 111.—Educating a spider is a task rarely undertaken. Mrs. Elizabeth Marri'jtt Moffatt. of Wheaton, one of the few students of spider* in the country, however, set heraelf to It. and this is what she writes of her experi-

ence:

“By far the most common spider in the country is the one known as the ’black-and-brown speckled spider* Agelena naevla,” said Mrs. Moffatt “The species although called a garden spider is often found in our houses where it builds a flat sheet web In some corner. always having a funnel at the rear into which the spider can escape when disturbed. The body is from one-half to three-quarters of an inch In length. At the back end two of the spinnerets project, looking like pointed tails Learned Quickly “A fully grown specimen was captured and put Into a wide mouthed half ounce bottle. This was laid on Us side on the library table. Every day she was given a small drop of water and one or several house flles. The flies were fed to her by placing in a bottle similar to that In which the spider was caged, placing a card the mouth of the bottle that contained the fly, withdrawing the cork from the spider's bottle, placing the two bottles mouth to mouth, and ’hen removling the card. ’At once the spider would rush Into the second bottle, seize the fly and rewith It to her own bottle. She learned to run to the mouth of her bottle whenever I approached her with water or a fly. .fter a few days the cork taken out of her bottle so that she could come out at will and go in at will. She would wander about the table crawling over ind around books and papers but always retreated to bottle when frightened. She had built a small web in it, with a erode retrea the farther end and adopted It as her home. She learned so readily to come for food and water that I am led to wonder whether Fibre’s contention that every that a spider performs is Impelled by an Instinct that has come down to It through untold generations, is suject to some modification.’’

Modern Woman Must Have Power to Love Says Writer By YVONNE SARCEY Noted French Authoress ’A woman will always vote for the best looking candidate.” is a common masculine argument against woman’s suffrage. “She won’t inquire into bis adminstrative or executive qualities.

But who can say what type of woman a man prefers: what part beauty plays In his choice Judging from the letters 1 have received from young Frenchmen—most of them back from the war—it would seeon as if theoretically at least they have less beauty than for grace. "A woman must be graceful." almost all my correspondents say. “Grace is more essential than beauty. And she have charm. I don’t care how ugly a woman Is—If she has cuarm she Is always attractive." young Frenchman of today appreciates Intelligence more than the his father's generation. ’’I want my wife to be gifted.

Jerry Has Lost Much Through Surgery Jerry Is Just morgrel. with a strain of bull terrier predominant, but In that thick chest of his there throbs the heart of a thoroughbred. He came to the University of Pennsysvania Hospital through the medium of a city dog pound. The authorities wished a healthy dog for experimental purposes and went the limit "Two bits"—no questions asked about his family tree -was the price, and Jerry became a member of the University circle six-

teen years ago.

Today Jerry converses by wagging hls tail—be never barks; It is against the rules of the hospital, you know— as cheerily as the first afternoon they placed him on an operating table. And you must marvel at his endurance when you know he’s traveled the distance ’round th> earth on faithful trips with ambulances. Fbr Jerry is minus his appendix, gall bladder, the larger portions of hls email Intestine, a small portion of his large intestine and glands without number. He lost three organs all In the Interest of science, that medical students might see the workings of his vitals and thus save many a human life by that learning. Nothing pleases Jerry so much a* for some one to hand him a letter— any old envelope will do. however— and then he takes a stroll up Woodland avenue way to "Pop” Beaston’s, opposite the Univeraity dormitory, and well known to all Penn students. Mr. Beaston says Jerry is like Tennyson's "Brook.” Students may come and students may go, but Jerry lames in forever—and gets bis supper.

Of course. Jerry is starting to slip —sixteen years in hls life are as three score and ten compared with ours, but if you want to start an argument around the hospital, tell any of tbe internes he isn’t long for this world. They know he has heart murmur, their stethoscopes don’t lie: they realize his heart pressure isn’t Just up snuff and that his teeth are not aa they were in days gone by. But Jerry gets the best medical attention that sclent can gi.e and he looks good for ma^y more years to come. Miss Helen Dowe of Denver First Girl Forest Ranger Miss Helen Dowe. of Denver holds the distinction of being the flrst woman entrusted by Uncle Sam to act as Are guard In the national forests. Miss Dowe, who moved to Denver several years ago in the hope that the climate would prove beneficial to her health. Is a newspaper artist by profession, and It was when she overheard her managing editor explaining the work of the Foresters that she first became imbued with a desire to enter the service. Her ambition and efforta were constantly directed to that end until she received her appointment as fire-lookout in Jie Pike National Forest In Colorado. It was merely an experiment on the part ol the Forest service officials, and the close of the simmer season waa to terminate the

As Is often the case, however, when “a woman Is on the Job,” Miss Ltwe sprang a few surprises thi.t caused this decision to be reversed.
