more or less.

In many sections scouts will be afoot until the middle of the week. Scores of men have been employed to bring in last minute information as to the quantity of deer. Incidentally this has an effect on the game. The presence of

numerous men In the Umber wakes ! pTPr by them to women. They up the deer. But deer are keen ob- j p rpp ared to go Into the llmservers. When men are seen passing an( j taJtp t | 1( .j r piscpg on the sands through the timber and their disap- wUh (hu nipn xvhat kind of a recor d

have little less than exterminated the birds. This happened despite the posting of thousands of acres of land by farmers who undertook to prevent the slaughter by excluding hunters from their fields. It is understood that should there develop a successful opposition to the closed season for quail when the project comes up at Trvnton that he county granges acting In cooperation will secure the closing of practically every farm in South Jersey to bird banters. This would leave only those tracts controlled br hunting clubs open and as the latttr are really limited in area as compared with the territory which has been open to hunt ers in the past such action. It is said, would retro'* quite as satisfactorily as would the enforcement of a protective

game law.

What tbe small game kill this year has been is uncertain, tattle bunting for rabbits, birds and squirrel* is going .m now as -he season ends the coining week. One reason i* that there is very- little game let*. Hunters say It Las been shot out worse this season •ban In years. The duck kill has been satisfactory. This has been true of the small badie*

Those who rejiorted them were not mistaking any corpulent calf for a well-furred bear. But one thing can be said. Tbey have committed no depredations attracting attention to them. Few Wild Cats Loose Then there are reasons for believing that a few wildcats are loose and liable to be met up with at least any turn In the woods. Not only ha'they been seen and he^rd but here and there a careas has been found Indicating their presence. Some small game has been killed by them. too. according to hunters who have run across evidence of the feast in the woods. There is no closedseaaon protecting wildcats and there Is a possibility that a few of tbe hunters will return with a wildcat’s skin to add to the troph'es of the

chase.

Taken broadly the situation in South Jersey with the opening of the deer season is such that tumtera are justi-tt-vi in looking forward to thrilling experiences with the possibility that they may add to their hunting history a . chapter out of the ordinary should they happen to meet Bruin or interrupt a bobtail sitting down to a feast. , Of course, there will be the usual j number of parties out for the day who ■ will motor down early, leave their ma- ! chines along the road and make a drive in-o the adjoining timber on the chance of picking up a buck. Every year parties of this kind can be found along the roadway, in many instances with evidence that the day's hunt has been successful, scattered around the auto. They come from al! sec'ions of I the State, as well as from Pennaylvi nia and Delaware. Usually they are accompanied by women members of the party and while the huaters are the woods the latter make the temporary camp and prepare the meal that will be eaten in the open. Every precaution has been take , the game and fire wardens to eliminate the dangers of forest fires being start- ! i-d by such parties. Road patrols will be established who wiil travel the highways where such parties are found and oversee the campfire arrange-

. ments.

AH that the hunters are asking is that there be an end to the rain and that the snow hold off for another two weeks. Bythat time the major- , ity of them will have put in their fall shoot and will have returned to their ’ homes. Some freezing weather will olso be acceptable. Expert Turtle Catching In the neighborhood of Cuba a peculiar method of securing turtles is pursued. The people train, or at least ! take advantage of a certain species of fish, called by the Spanish reve (meaning reversed), because its back is usur ally taken for its stomach. It bar an oral plate attached to its > head, the surface of which is traversed by parallel ridges. By this plate it can firmly adhere to any solid body it may choose. The boats which go in quest of the turtles each carry a tub containing a number of these revea. When the sleeping turtles are seen they are approached, and as soon as they are judged near enough a reve Is thrown into the sea. Upon perceiving the turtle. Its instinct teaches it to ' swim right towards the turtle and fix 1 itself firmly upon the creature by means of il? disk. Sooner would the : reve allow itself to be pulled to pieces I than give up its grip. A ring, which is attached to the tail [ of the fish, in which a string is fastened. allows the fisherman to pull in his prize. By a peculiar manipulation the reve is pulled off and returned to the tub. to be ready for use the next time a turtle is sighted. Pudding Cooked Under Water

It is presumed that this copper coin contract was made as directed for on Friday. July 6. 1787, the Congress adopted this resolution: “Tbst the Board of Treasury direct the contractor of the copper coinage to stamp on one side of each piece tbe following device, viz: Thirteen circles linked together and a small cl.cle In the middle with the words ‘Unit'd States' around it. and in the center the words: ‘We are one.’ On the other aide of the same piece the following device, viz.: A dial with the hours expressed on the face of iL a meridian sun above, on one side of which is to be the word ‘Fugio’ and on the other side the date ‘1787’; below the dial the words.
