WHAT BECOMES OF THE HORNS? 



M. A. WILCOX. 



I have been taking Recreation over 4 

 years, and have noticed at different times 

 articles on the disappearance of shed deer 

 horns. While grouse shooting near Lake 



guide said porcupines. I enclose photo for 

 inspection. You may readily see where the 

 rodent got in his fine work on the different 

 prongs. The teeth marks seemed to be 



Nippissing, last September, I found 2 shed 

 horns, from different animals. One was 

 found in a clearing and was not touched ; 

 but the other, found in dense underbrush, 

 was badly chewed by some animal, the 



fresh, and, no doubt, it would not take long 

 to entirely reduce the horns. I made my 

 negative with a Dallmeyer lens, indoors, 

 15 seconds, 100 stop, with electric focusing 

 lamp, cross light. 



Bell : I saw Tom Green and his wife 

 out wheeling last night. 

 Nell: Tandem? 

 "No — baby-carriage." — Exchange.
