Notes on a Game-Protective 
Experiment 
(Continued from page 265) 
back for it. What he had forgotten was 
two chicken heads which had been used 
for bait for the fox trap at the very 
point where he had been caught. Still 
wagging his tail he went along the 
path to a bend in the river and there 
stopped to eat the chicken heads. 
Having come to one conclusion re- 
garding game preserves I have now ar- 
rived at another conclusion regarding 
the suffering of animals in traps. I 
doubt if they suffer much excepting in 
spirit, provided that a trapper is hu- 
mane enough to visit his traps every 
day. If he allows animals to remain 
cold, wet and hungry for two or three 
days it is quite another matter. To be 
sure there are hard pinched feet or legs, 
but when a trap suddenly snaps upon a 
foot or leg the part below becomes 
numbed and insensitive to any pull that 
is made upon it by the animal. If this 
hound after his violent effort at escape 
was so little hurt that he came back 
after two chicken heads, meanwhile 
wagging his tail, it furnishes an object 
lesson stronger than any statement by 
words could be.

New Orleans, and it was packed in 
safes, trunks, boxes and so on, to the 
amount of nearly a million dollars. 
When off Cedar Keys, the rebel pris- 
oners mutinied, and were, with consid- 
erable trouble, bayoneted below the 
hatches by the marines. 
An hour after this occurrence I was 
walking the deck with Major Brown, 
when I discovered that the hair on his 
temples, and to some extent up the sides 
of his head, had turned snow white. 
When I told him, he would not believe 
me until he had gone below and looked 
in a glass. y 
I have never been able to explain 
satisfactorily to myself this class of in- 
duced albinism, and there seems to be 
but little literature on the subject. 

Henry Braithwaite’s Tales 
of the Forest 
(Continued from page 273) 
Another time on a portage road in 
crossing a stream I found a beaver track 
in the mud going in the same direction 
as I was. The beaver followed the road 
nearly five miles to where it crossed 
another stream. He made one stop 
at a frog pond where he cut a few 
rods of hard wood brush and _ peeled 
them for his lunch. 
EAVERS have many enemies. Bear, 
lynx and bobcat often watch the 
dams where they are working as I have 
Tt will identify you.
