GREAT SHOOTING AND FISHING 
POSSIBILITIES IN THE 
SUNNY SOUTH. 
A plan has been devised by sportsmen and 
game protectors which prMiiises to offer exceed¬ 
ingly good shooting, fishing and club facilities 
to a limited number of outdoor people, and at 
the same time to serve as a means of protecting 
wildfowl, shore birds and sea birds in their 
winter home in the Gulf of Mexico. 
NOT A MONEY-MAKING SCHEME. 
It has the backing and support of a number 
of Boston sportsmen who are also game pro¬ 
tectors and philanthropists, and of members of 
the Audubon Society which each year spends 
thousands of dollars to protect the bird life in 
the L’nited States. 
WHAT IS IT? 
Briefly, the project is to purchase Cat Island 
off the coast of Mississippi and to thoroughly 
protect it except for a limited time, in the 
autumn, when wildfowl shooting by the owners 
will be permitted. Subscribers to the fund for 
purchasing the island who contribute a certain 
sum to be agreed on are not only entitled to 
the fishing and shooting privileges, but may 
build winter homes on the island. 
The sum required for the purchase of the 
land is $15,000, and a comparatively small sum 
must be added for expenses of the up-keep of 
the island, building protection and other matters. 
For the purchase a number of sportsmen have 
already agreed to contribute about $5,000. 
(Zat Island is high, pine-clad and a great re¬ 
sort for waterfowl and shore birds. The ad¬ 
jacent waters swarm with tarpon and other game 
salt water fish. Its bays and bayous furnish de¬ 
licious oysters. Indeed, it is said that the oyster 
business here could be made very profitable with 
proper handling. 
Persons interested in this project are invited 
to write to Forest and Stream who will be glad 
to put them in communication with those who 
have the matter in charge.

ANTELOPE KILLED BY A TRAIN. 
Burlington train No 16, which left Denver 
at 8:30 o’clock yesterday morning for Oxford, 
Neb., ran into a big herd of antelope between 
Hudson and Lort Morgan and instantly killed 
four of them, says the Denver Times. The 
animals were shipped into Denver this morning 
and consigned to the State Game Warden. It 
is the second accident of the kind due to the 
large herds of antelope coming down into the 
lowlands to feed during the cold weather. 
The danger of killing the animals by the 
trains has become so pronounced that special 
orders have been issued to the engineers on 
the majority of the railroads running through 
the eastern part of the State to be on the watch- 
out for the herds and to slow down upon seeing 
them. Even with those precautions it has 
proven impossible to keep from slaughtering 
a large number of the animals. 
The antelope have been so numerous along 
the lines of the railroads that much complaint 
has been made by the ranchmen. The season 
of cold weather and snow started in so much 
earlier than usual this year that the antelope 
were forced to- seek the lowlands in order to 
secure sufficient forage to sustain them. They 
became very docile and made themselves at 
home with the domestic livestock. The situa¬ 
tion became so serious that the State Govern¬ 
ment had to take cognizance of it and make 
preparation.s to feed the animals. They have 
traveled close to the railroad tracks on ac¬ 
count of the grass being longer and of a better 
quality beside the tracks than at other points, 
and that has resulted in the accidents. When 
a train rushes into a herd of several hundred 
there are not only a number killed, but many 
others are injured for life and afterward die. 
PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE. 
More than quarter of a century ago there 
lived in Provincetown on the extremity of Cape 
Cod, a fisherman, Nathaniel Atwood. He had 
only a common school education, but he picked 
up and stored away more information than the 
average student gains in a college course. He 
not only was an expert in catching and curing 
fish, but he made himself acquainted with every 
species of fish known on the Atlantic coast. 
He knew all about their habits, their haunts, 
their feeding grounds, when they would migrate 
and when return, etc. He gained all this in¬ 
formation not from books, but from careful 
observation and the annotation of facts. 
Prof. Agassiz met with him and was surprised 
and delighted at his attainments, says the 
Springfield Republican. He was not long in 
discovering that he had found a phenomenon, 
and one day said to him: “Mr. Atwood, I want 
you to come to the Lowell institute and give 
us a course of lectures on fishes.” Mr. Atwood 
was nonplussed and replied, “No, no, professor, 
I can’t do it. I never gave a lecture in my 
life.” “Excuse me,” responded the professor, 
“I did not mean that. I want you to come to 
Boston and tell us what you know about fishes.” 
“All right,” said Mr. Atwood. He went and 
delivered such a course on the fishes of the 
Atlantic coast as to awaken the wonder and 
admiration of those who heard, and at its close 
not only received the appropriate fee for such 
a course, but also a handsome donation from 
those who desired thus to testify their appreci¬ 
ation of his remarkable genius and attainments 
in this direction. 
INVITED THE CAT. 
A St. Paul man has a pet dog of which he 
is very proud. One evening recently, when the 
gentleman was returning home, he saw the dog 
emerge from the shadow of a neighbor’s fence 
with a hen in his mouth. The dog deposited 
the fowl in a secluded spot and then went after 
the house cat, which it seized by the neck and 
dragged to the feast. Without going through 
the formality of asking grace, the dog tore the 
chicken to pieces and helped the cat to some 
of the choicest scraps.—Pioneer Press.
