- The animal report of Lientenant C. 1 L. Collins, inspector of s;n:ill arms t practice in the departtnent of the Colorado, states that the corapetitions in targ-et have shown that men with lig-ht blue eyes rank highest, f olio wed ia their order by dark blue, slate bhie, lig-ht brown, dark brown and black. In the colored troops Hg-ht blue eyes ag-ain stand at the top. He further says that tall men shoot more accurately than short meu. Tb ree young garis of Chestertown, Md., went hunbing and to their diamay were successful to the ex tent of a bear. Two of the girls beat the world's woman"s record fortree clirabing-, but the other emptied her g-un at the animal, it, then loaded and flred ag-ain, until the bear lay dead. Soine days ago a dog-, while chasinga fox near Plymouth, N. H.) pushed his head between two ledg-es of rock ia such a way that he could not withdraw it and four hunters worked all day and nig-ht with drills to release him. It was then found that he had chased a and %vas covered with quills. The speed of the fastest railway train ia only a little more than onehalf the velocity of thï golden eagle's flig-ht, that bird been known to make 140 miles per hour. The condor soai-s hig-hcr than any other known species of bird, spendingnine-tunths of his life about at a heig-ht of over three miles. Two hunters went out in the woods from Abbeville, Wilcox county, Ga., a few days ag-o, and bag-g-ed eleven possums in two days.
