and silver cross foxes in the Atha- 
basca country. I know the ins and 
outs of the game and believe that, ex- 
cept in rare cases, the use of the stuff 
should be discouraged. Anyone can 
mix a grain of strychnine in a piece 
of lard or tallow and it’s easy enough 
to scatter the deadly pills around the 
woods. The only sure way of getting 
coyotes is to put the poison in one’s 
mouth and hold his jaws shut until it 
takes effect! If one pill don’t work, 
repeat the dose. I have killed coyotes 
with poison by freezing the bait down 
to the ice in cold weather when hunt- 
ing was poor. The animals would get 
down and gnaw at the frozen meat 
until the strychnine took effect. Sel- 
dom would they get more than a few 
rods distant from the spot. The lo- 
location of these baits must be marked 
accurately or you will be unable to 
find them after a heavy storm. Two 
stakes as markers, in line with the 
bait, will answer the purpose, the dis- 
tance between the middle marker and 
the bait being ascertained in number 
of paces. I knew two Swedes who 
made a big catch of coyotes and foxes 
by scattering poison on the Athabasca 
River near where I trapped. They also 
killed a hundred dollar sleigh dog for 
me! 
Henry Braithewaite’s Tales 
of the Forest 
(Continued from page 143) 
he was trying to strike me with his 
feet. I got him down after a while 
when he was weakened from loss of 
blood and I was soaked with it from 
head to foot and nearly all in. Then 
I examined him to see where the bul- 
let had struck and found it was the 
top of the shoulder, just clearing the 
spinal column. I have learned since 
that an animal struck there will in- 
stantly go down as it gives the spine 
a great shock. 
ONCE shot a moose in the same 
way and he went down just as the 
caribou did. I walked over him step- 
ping on his side with my snow shoes, 
for I thought a much larger bull had 
got away and I wanted to investigate. 
Following the tracks I found it was 
a cow, so I came back to my first 
moose only to find it had got up and 
gone and I have no doubt it was hit 
in the same place as the caribou, for 
there was little or no blood. It was 
near night and I was a long way from 
camp so I concluded to let him go and 
look for him later. Something turned 
up which prevented my returning for 
three or four weeks. The next time 
I was in that part of the country, I 
decided to follow his track. I found 
he had gone only about a mile when 
he had again yarded and appeared to 
be doing well, so I decided to leave 
him alone. In April the next spring 
when the snow was very deep I passed 
that way again and found him in 
nearly the same place. He had shed 
his antlers in the meantime and 
started a new pair which were some 
eight or ten inches long. That was 
the last I saw of him. 
The Story of the Prism 
Binocular 
(Continued from page 145) 
of the object viewed, some provision 
must be made in the ocular mount to 
permit of its being moved back and 
forth until it comes into correct focus 
for the objective image. Two methods 
of focusing a prism binocular are in 
common use, one being called “inde- 
pendent” or “individual” and the other 
“central.” 
N the individual system each ocular 
is mounted in a helical cylinder which 
can be moved up or down with sufficient 
lee-way to pick up the objective image 
from comparatively close range to in- 
finity. Each ocular mount may be fo- 
cused independently of the other, hence 
the name of the system. Both mounts 
are engraved with a diopter scale which 
enables the user who is familiar with 
his glasses to instantly set them for 
the correct viewing distance without 
the necessity of bringing the glasses to 
the eyes for the purpose. 
The “central focusing adjustment,” 
as its name implies, consists of a post 
placed centrally between the two bodies 
of the binocular, to the upper end of 
which a transverse bar is mounted. 
The two ocular mounts are fastened 
to the ends of this bar and move in uni- 
son on two cylinders projecting from 
the main tubes of the binocular. By 
means of a small wheel surrounding 
the upright post, the entire system can 
be moved up and down at will. To 
compensate for any difference in visual 
acuity, the right ocular of this system 
is also mounted in a helical tube which 
permits of its being focused independ- 
ently of the whole. Both these systems 
possess good points in their favor and 
for this reason it is rather difficult to 
express a preference. 
HILE the glasses with central 
focusing adjustment can be more 
rapidly changed in focus from near to 
far objects or reverse, those with the 
individual adjustment may with a little 
practice be set to the proper focal dis- 
tance by means of the diopter scales. 
Moreover, the individual focusing bin- 
ocular permits of construction which 
makes it absolutely dust and moisture-
