Bristol Channel Eels for Danish Lakes. 
Experiments in the transplanting of an 
eel brood from England in the Danish Lakes 
have been carried on for some years, and have 
resulted very satisfactorily, says London 
Standard. Dr. Hoffmeyer, a State commission¬ 
er, is therefore about to come to England to 
make arrangements for an extensive import to 
Denmark of these young eels, which, coming 
from the Atlantic Ocean, are forced toward 
the English coast, and are there to be found 
in enormous cpiantities, especially in the 
Bristol Channel. The experiments have shown 
that the young eels thrive well in Danish 
waters, and after a stay there of from six to 
seven years they reach perfect size and quality. 
Gives $20,000 to Amundsen. 
The National Geographic Society has sub¬ 
scribed $20,000 ot Capt. Roald Amundsen, who 
will leave San Erancisco in June, 1914, in an 
attempt to traverse the frozen polar regions of 
northern Canada, Alaska and the Asiatic coast. 
Amundsen in his ship Eram will go from 
San Erancisco to Bering Strait, where he will 
allow his vessel to drift as the current carries 
him across the unexplored regions, passing 
close or through the north pole area into 
European waters. It is expected he will be ice¬ 
bound four years. 
With the unreasonably high and increasing 
price of lobsters there comes a great oppor¬ 
tunity for the crab. Though never, perhaps, as 
aristocratic as the lobster, the crab has never 
been humble; though simple, homely and cheap, 
it has always been good to eat; and, what with 
the greater scarcity of lobsters and increasing 
demand for crab meat for salads and so on, 
after centuries of comparative neglect in the 
higher circles the crab seems likely now to 
come into its own. 
Woman Planning Fox, Mink and Marten Farm 
Foxes, marten and mink have been added 
to the long list of things grown and able to be 
grown in Beltrami county. At Spooner, Mrs. 
A. Ryan has purchased a two-acre farm and will 
undertake to raise these animals on a large scale 
for commercial purposes. Mrs. Ryan has al¬ 
ready disposed of fourteen foxes to furriers. 
Only black and silver gray foxes will be raised, 
and a large demand for Minnesota fur is ex¬ 
pected. 
Sheep as Beasts of Burden. 
In Tibet, sheep and goats are used as pack- 
animals, and a flock of these animals, well 
loaded, journey from there to the Rampur Fair, 
in India, taking over a month on the journey, 
traversing several high passes, where most 
other pack animals would be useless. When 
their loads , are delivered, they are kept on the 
plains during the winter and then sent back 
with a stock of grain for Tibet and regions on 
the border where foodstuffs are scarce. 
A Big Wildcat. 
The largest wildcat ever killed in Marathon 
county was presented at the office of the county 
clerk there in March for bounty. The pelt, says 
th e M ilwaukee Sentinel, measured 5 feet and 6 
inches from tip to tip. It was trapped by Wil¬ 
liam Laffin in the town of Hewitt. Lee Gatlin, 
of the town of Kronenwetter, brought in a wolf 
for the bounty. Mr. Gatlin has killed twenty 
wolves in the last three years. 
By executive order, issued by President 
Wilson on March 19, 1913, the destruction of 
any plumage birds in the Canal Zone has been 
prohibited under heavy penalty for infraction. 
The order has been put into effect by the Canal 
Commission. 
A Modern Phyllis. 
BY MARIE ELGY. 
-Corydon and Phyllis stood 
In ye edgeward of ye woode. 
“Come,” cried Corydon, “and goe 
With me where ye daysies bloe.” 
Phyllis stared at Corydon, 
As she might ye Evil One. 
“Fede your daysies to ye goate; 
I’m on my waye,” she sayde, “to vote.” 
Let’s Go Fishin’. 
Gee, it makes you feel so yawny, kind of gappy, kind of 
tired. 
And your mind ain’t on the labor and there’s nothing 
that’s inspired; 
And your thoughts are always rambling, framing visions 
of dslight. 
When the days are getting sultry and the fish begin to 
bite.
