BLAKEKLEE Associated Press Science Reporter NEW VOUK A whistled 'wolf-cull" on a barren plateau in Alaska solved a 163-year-old mystery. On a city street, a woll-cnll means a young man has spotted a pretty girl. A bird, the brislle-thighcd curlew, does a pretty good job of imitating it. And when two men heard the wolf-call in Alaska. Jhey solved the long-kept secret of where the curlews have their nest ing grounds. The story is told by Henry C. Kyllingstad in Arctic, journal of the Arctic Institute of North Amer ica. The curlew is a bird about the size of a crow, but slimmer. It has a five-inch, curved beak. It gels its name from hair - like modified feathers on its flanks and thighs.

UPl A deer that walks on a wooden leg is the pet of game warden Don Higgins. The animal was born with only three legs. When it was about a year old, Higgins fitted it with a wooden leg and taught it to walk on all four limbs. "Peg Leg" sleeps in the woods but rarely ventures more than 200 yards from the Higgins home. It appears at the back door at the same time each day for its daily ration of three cans of evaporated milk and cookies fed to it by 16-months-old Betty Lou Higgins.
