Thus, the call of the cow moose in the mating season is more often than not a successful lure in bringâ€" ing the bull to the hunter. The ery of the hunting wolf and the honk of the migrating goose are easily imitated by the initiate and are easy of interpretation. There is, however, nothing particularly new in this. What is new, is Mr. Allen‘s claim that animals. comâ€" municate with one another by sounds inaudible to the human ear. That they do converse and comâ€" municate one with the other is deâ€" monstrated in a thousand ways each day. What our wellâ€"known guide suggests is that radio will eventually solve the question and be the means of interpretation of the animal communication. ~That the human ear is senâ€" sitive to but a ‘very narrow and limited range of vibrations is in fact certain.

Bowlers to "wave lengths" outside the range of mankind. "It is a common occurrence in the woods to see a cow moose leave her calf, or a deer her fawn," says Mr. Allen by way of example. "I have seen it hundreds of times. Every time the mother animal has instructed her young, in a lanâ€" guage inaudible to human ears, not to stray. That language was quite intelligible to the young, but alâ€" though I have sometimes been within touching distance, I have never heard the faintest sound, beâ€" yond at most, the blowing out of air from the nostrils which had no apparent significance.

"I would," said one grower, "like to see the weather moderate so as to give the buds a chance and not briiig them on until all fears of frost had passed." Mr. Allan has cited many othner "demonstrations" to. members of the Tourist Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway who are encouraging him to develop his theory still further as he engages in the role of guide, philosopher and friend to the fisherman and the hunter. s P50 "I have experimented on the probâ€" lem many times. In each case it has been the same. I have waited until the mother has gone some distance; then have approached and stroked the young animal. Be. yond a slight twitching of the skin, it has not moved, but it must have sent out a call, for almost immediately I would hear the crashing return of the mother through the undergrowth. At such moments I would not pursue my investigations further." ® i Fruit farmers expressed some conâ€" cern over the weekâ€"end as to the effect of real summerâ€"like weather on the fruit trees, particularly the cherries and peaches.
