Newspaper Page TextTHE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1913 2 SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY. It I True Weasel, but la Only About tix Inch Long. Tbe smallest carnivorous animal In the world la an American weasel which Is numerous In northwest Canada and Alaska and ia occasionally seen about the great lakes. It la a true weasel, but only six lucbea long, with tall only one Inch in length. All lta upper surface Is In summer pure umber brown, but the throat, abdomen and Inside of the legs are pure w hite, and. unlike any other weasel, it has no black at tbe eud of tbe tail; hence, although tbe auiuial turns white lu the north In winter, it does not show the black tipped tail which characterizes an er mine pelt, and so It Is not sought by trappers ami fur traders. This fact, with its small size and se cretive life, has made its habits Tery little known, but they seem to be much like those of other weasels. It feeds on Insects, which it finds alive In sum mer and In winter digs out of rotten logs; upon small birds, etc., but Urea mainly on mice. These It can follow Into their narrowest holes and run ways, for it is scarcely larger than a field mouse Itself, or, striking tbe trail of one. It will trace all Its wandering and as soon as It catches eight of Its prey will spring after It with amazing and fatal rapidity. It Is frequently caught by naturalists In their mouse traps. An old Indian told W. II. Osgood of the biological survey, who thus captured one In south ern Alaska, that it was a promise of rare good fortune. His brother, he re lated, had taken one when a boy and bad in consequence become big chief. A good name for this least of tbe car nivores would be '"mouse hunter." It Is known to science as Putorius rlxo aus. Harper's. SCIENTIFIC PUZZLES. Seme Qur Things One Lsarns In the Study of Chemistry, Every one knows that tbe diamond Is only charcoal crystallized, but there are a great many other things in na ture that, though possessing widely different properties, are composed of exactly equal quantities of the same elements. Tbe white of an egg and rattlesnake poison are formed of identically the same amounts of the same elements. The oil of roses and common coal gas are each formed alike, both being com posed of four atoms of hydrogen and four atoms of carbon. Sugar and gum arable are likewise brothers of the same weight and tex ture. All the hydrocarbons, known to sci ence as a combination of sixteen atoms of hydrogen and ten atoms of carbon, are alike In tbelr composition. To enumerate some oil of orange, lemon, cloves, ginger and black pepper. The suggested explanation of these peculiarities Is that tbe atoms are plac ed differently toward one another in tbe molecules of tbe different sub stances. Other things just as peculiar are evi dent when certain substances are unit ed chemically. Thus hydrogen gas, which is odorless, and nitrogen gas, which Is also odorless, when united go to make ammonia, which has a very strong odor. Copper, which has no odor, and zinc, which also has none, when melted and mixed to give us brass, produce a substance with a very characteristic one. Chicago Record Herald. An Easy Tongue For Poy. Burns, of course, Is untranslatable, for when be attempted common Eng lish he was commonplace. But he took bis opportunity with the Scotch poets who have tbe delightful language that has no consonants. Tou can rime anything with anything. Scotch Is tbe easiest language for rime. Among tbe most beautiful of Burns' poems la "Mary Morison." with Yestreen when to the trembling trin The dance went through the lighted ha' To thee my fancy took Its wine; I sat, but neither beard nor aaw. But saw doesn't rime with ball un less you speak Scotch and omit tbe consonants. Tou will perceive that a Scotchman cannot help writing poetry when he can make anything rime with anything.

Coprrighc Hut ftctuffbrr & Marx Why Shouldn't Women Do the Wooing? By MAUD CLARTON BRABY, Author, of Enfland SURELY the most foolish of all the many foolish conventions that ruin human joy is the decree that women must wait passively to be wooed. Now, WHY SHOULD THEY? Why can't they be natural and honest and show their feel ings? Why must they be COMPELLED TO ACT AN INDIF FERENCE quite foreign to them ? Perhaps some of you hold with Shaw and Shakespeare that they don't wait to be wooed. Some of them certainly don't. Generally speaking, however, FEW WOMEN, EVEN NOWADAYS, HAVE THE PLUCK TO GO DEAD AGAINST A CONVENTION OF THIS SORT, which has such a tremendously strong hold on the masculine sense of fitness. PERSONALLY I THINK ALL THIS SORT OF THING SHOULD BE MUTUAL, JUST THE SAME CONDITIONS FOR EACH, AND THE MAN AND WOMAN TO MEET EACH OTHER HALFWAY. WHY NOTT GETS S1 1,300 FOR 62 ACRES OF LAND For six and one-half acres of land condemned by the O.-W. R. & N. a jury In the circuit court yesterday awarded F. H. Button damages amounting to $11,300. The company had offered Mr. Button $4,050 for the tract, which is planted to four-year-old pear trees. The hearing of this case consumed three days and two evenings. The fin al arguments were concluded Monday afternoon and the case was given to the Jury at five o'clock. At two o'clock yesterday morning they reported that they had agreed upon a verdict. A large number of witnesses were heard in the caBe, including local orch ardists and real estate men. Wit nesses for the railroad placed a value upon the land ranging from $600 to $800 an acre. Witnesses for Mr. But ton testified that, it was worth from $2000 to $5000 an acre. The latter value was based on the fact that it is particularly adapted to growing pears and is also located adjacent to the rail road that it is valuable for warehouse purposes or truck gardening. Ten of the Jurors signed the verdict only three-quarters of a jury now be ing necessary to reach a decision in a civil case of this kind. Attorney E. C. Smith of this city and his associate, H. S. Wilson of Portland, represented Mr. Button, while the railroad's end of the case was handled by Attorney C.E. Cochran of Portland. The land involved is a part of Mr. Button's ranch Just east of the rail road's bridge over the Hood River. The railroad contemplates eliminating a curve at that place by bringing its tracks a considerable distance towards the Columbia River.

This ordinance was enacted last win ter and compels all sidewalks within the city limits to be kept free from snow. Otherwise the city shall clean the walks and charge the amount to the taxpayer, making it a lien upon the property. The council was divided upon the matter, half being in favor of enforc ing the ordinance in the main part of the town and only Mr. Mayes and two colleagues maintaining that it should be strictly enforced in all parts of the town. A vote was taken. The coun cil tied. Mayor Blanchar said he would like to see the council closer together on the matter before it was passed, so that he cast the deciding vote against a strict enforcement of the ordinance. "I am thoroughly convinced that this is a matter upon which the council should take united action," said Coun cilman Mayes yesterday. "We cannot help having bad streets at the present time, but we can keep our walks clean and passable. The present condition of the walks make a very bad im pression upon visitors. At the same time it imposes a hardship upon the women and children who live outide the main part of the city. It is little trouble to keep the walks clean of snow and almost all cities the size of Hood River Insist upon its being done. I hope to see the ordinance strictly en forced and I believe that a majority of the citizens are in favor of such action." BELMONT .

Paul T. Shaw of Tacoma has been here for a couple of weeks installing the delicate and powerful apparatus which will pro duce a photograph of any part of the body and show the finished picture, all inside of 15 minutes. The apparatus was placed in opera tion for the first time yesterday and a large number of patients suffering from diseases capable of diagnosis through this agency took advantage of the machine. The latter includes a large Meyer induction coil and devel ops 240,000 volts. It throws a spark 18 inches long and the rays are of suf ficient strength to take a picture in a few seconds. The machine is operated by a 220 volt alternating current. A picture can be taken of the chest in from four to five seconds, while ordinary bone work requires an exposure to the rays of about eight or ten seconds. The plates are then taken at once to an adjoining dark room, where they are developed. This done and they are placed in front of a framed light and the condition of the bones, including the location of the diseased areas, can be definitely determined. In the treat men of this class of cases the machine is Invaluable. It is said that there is no more modern or perfect appar atus of its kind in the state. The Pecan. It Is Interesting to record that the first grafting of a peenn tree was ac complished liy n negro slave, and It is doubtful whether any other member of the bliick nice has ever performed an economic service to this country that Is so signal In its importance.

He later succeeded 111 grafting 110 other pecans, and these were the only grafted nut trees In America before 18C5. Arc hi bald Rutledge In Outing. The Proper Way.
