The opening day of the truffle sea- son somewhat resembles the opening day on ducks or deer'. The hunters had been preparing their pigs and dogs for weeks, grooming them thin and making teem hungry. Every inch of truffle soil had been farmed out, and there is no such thing as free-laupingfor truffles. 0 4 a a The truffles •grow under certain trees, generally oaks, and ouiy where the soil is powdered. It is impossible to tell from the surface where the tender fungus growth hides—but the pigs' noses. know. Wild pigs grew tat ori diets of trnffies, which they smell through the soil and root out with their 'snouts. ' Peasants long ago discovered the sense of smell among pigs and train- ed their own farmyard porkers into hunters. These animals wear collars to which stroug chains aro attached. They are led in Paris and move around under the trees until one or the other starts rooting. e n a y The peasant has to have a quick eye and a strong arum, for the precious A Santa Fe Ticket to It if is Wili take you through °ho, on Santa Fe rails "ail the way" from Chicago and Kansas City.

As 'soon as the truffle is sighted, the .farmer yanks ori tit,e chain and before the astonished pig can recover its balance, the truffle Is in the bag. The peasant rewards the pig with a handful of acorns, .-which are almost as acceptable to the pig as the truffles. There are mane- Kell -trained pigs and dogs that will not eat the truffle, but, good hunters, bring' it to the surface and then grunt or bark until reward- ed with acorns. w f• .

For five months the pigs wander, and; being good. troupers, 'wax fat on the travel and their acorn diet. The truffles are too small and taste- less until the first frost comes. The season generally opens the first week in November. There is money in the business, for gourmets eat nearly 1,000 tons ot truffles a year. m British Expedition Will Attempt Kanchenjunga Climb Delhi, India.—A' British expedition is being organized to attempt the ascent of Mount ICamet, 25,481 feet, and will start next August, it was an- nounced recently. Mount Kantet, which lies within the borders of the United Provinces, is the second high- est mountain in the British Empire and has never been scaled, ' The expedition is being organized by Frank S. Smythe, whose descrip- tions of the recent ICanehenjunga ex••• pedition were published, with Prof. Gunther Dyltrenfurths, an associate in that expedition. It is proposed that the -Mount ICamet expedition be lim- ited to four or five persons, a sugges- tion made in the light of the exper- ience of the Kanchenjunga adventure. It is also probable the expedition will include only members of the Alpine Club and the Himalaya Club. Wood Johnson, who played a heroic role in the Kanchenjunga expedition, will join the new party if possible. It is planned to compass the climb be- tween the end of August and the mid- dle of October neyt year.

Carlsbad Cavern Bats The bats n-Ilich live and hibernate in one end of Carlsbad Caverns, esti- mated at 3,000,000, have not aeon giv- ing their usual spectacular flights recently, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Two reasors are advanced for this. One is that :the extremely dry weather of the past season has e.tused a scarcity of night -flying in- sects, the other is that they have been disturbed by work going on in a near- by guano mine. Occasionally; how- ever, they stream forth in great num- bers, their flight from the cave open- ing; lasting for sevaral hours, An in- teresting feature of the bat exodus is that although they always fly south wizen they emerge from the cavern they invariably return next -morning from the north.

Oniy about a fourth of the families made their own butter, and each of these used about three pounds a week. Poultry furnished $80 worth of food a year, each family' using six eggs daily and three pounds of chicken weekly, Twothlyds of the families had home-grown pork, using aboat a pound a day, or 280 worth in a year, Besides garden vegetables and honey, the typical family used thirty- seven bushels of potatoes and fourteen of apples and burned twenty-one cords of wood.
