THE AFRICAN LION

In our two last papers we published some ex-
tracts from the South african Journal pub
lshed at the Cape of Good Hope, relative
to the Lion. The writer says, that beyond
the limits of the Colony they are consider
ed peculiarly fierce and dangerous, and
thinks that the representation that they are
cowardly and treacherous, is conclusion
drawn from limited experience or Inaccurate
observation. He thus proceeds
"The prodigious strength of this an
imai does not appear to have been over
rated. It's certain that he can drag
the heaviest OK, with ease, consider

beast, or lesser prey, he finds no diff
Guilty in throwing over his shoulder, and
carrying it off to any distance he NAV
find convenient. Ihave myself witness
ed an instance of very young Lion
cony ying horse about mile from the
spot where he had killed it; and a more
extraordinary case has been mentioned
to me on good authority, where a Lion
having carried off heifer of two wears
old, was followed on the track for five
hours, about 80 English miles, by par.
ty on horseback and throughout the
whole distance, the carcass of the heif.
er was only once or twice discovered
to have touched the ground. The Be.
chuano Chief, old Peyshow (now in
CaPetown) conversing with me a few
days ago, said, that the Lion very sell

he will frequently approach within a
few PAGES, and survey him steadily and
sometimes he will attempt to get behind
him, as if he feared bis look, but was

ces attempts either to fight or fly, he in.
ours the most imminent peril but if he
has sufficient presence of mind coolly TO
confront him, without appearance Of
either terror or aggression, the animal
will, in almost every instance, after a
little space, retire. The overmastering
effect of the human eye upon the Lion
has been frequently mentioned, though
much doubted by travellers; but from
my own inquiries among Lion hunt
ers, ! am perfectly satisfied of the fact ;
and an anecdote related to me a few
days ago, by Major M'Intosh, proves
that this fascinating effect is not restrict.

MUNGO PARK

We have been favoured BY a oen,Io
man interested in African discovery
and who has travelled considerable
way into the interiour of the southern
parts OF northern Africa, with some
notes regarding the death of our Ia.
mented countrymap, Mr.. Park. The
narrative is drawn from negro. ma
1--WE OF Yaourie, adjoining the spot
where Park persisted, and who witness.
ed what he relates. Considering ev.
cry circumstance, the document is clear
and satisfactory, plain and unadorneJ
without any thing that leads to suspi.
clon OF its accuracy, or the intention of
the negro to deceive; and in lis most
material features it is borne out by ac-
counts obtained through other channels.
The notes from which the FOLLOWING
summary is drawn up, were obtained in
1922
Duncanno, negro, was born at Birn-
lie Yaourie. He was ir the Pass about
to be mentioned, to sell ColIas. when
he was seized by the Foulahs, and car
rled off as slave, and afterwards taken
to the Gold Coast, where he was shin.
ped on board Portuguese vessel, and
carried TO Bahia, where he remained
three years. He was employed in a
Portuguese slave-ship as seaman, and
returned to Africa in her during Gov
ernor Maxwell's residence on the coast
Duncanno states, that he was in his ma
tive country, BRINE Yaourie, Is wears
ago, CSo6,) when Mr.. Park arrived
there in canoe with two masts no per-
son landed. The canoe continued her
course down the river with the travel
ers in her. The King of Yaourie, a.
ware OF the danger, sent off eight ca
noes after them TO warn them of it; and
in one Of the canoes sent red COW, in

From the Hull (England) .4dvertissr.1
George Fewsler, aged about eight
years, the son of a cow-keeper, of this
place, was, for several months previous
to February last, afflicted with severe
Indigestion, slight fever, thirst, and
cough, accompanied by great emacia-
ton OF the limbs and enlargement of the
abdomen, which had leadan hue-a
voracious appetite and offensive breath,
which occasioned severe gripping pains.
The mother being apprehensive of the
existence of worms, administered some
drugs; when to her alarm, IA great guam
tity of worms and snails, three or four
very large caterpillars, and variety of
smaller insects, chiefly of the. size and
shape OF maggors, we're evacuated alive,
embedded in a great mass of slime.
Hardly day passed during five or six
weeks without the same occurring more
or less. 10 April three large horse
leeches, in a very lively state, made
their appearance in company with num-
bers of the above mentioned creatures.
Much about the same time the poor
child parted with (in consequence Of an
lnjection) upwards of pint of tough
jelly, which literally moved with insects
in an early stage oftheir growth. The
boy has been during the last six months
under the care of one Of the physicians
of our inhTn,Ary, and still continues to
be an out-patient. After great variety
oftreatment he has regained a health
ful look, and, il is hoped, has got entire
ly rid of his troublesome inmates. His
parents state that he used TO frequent a
little stagnant pool, and drink from it by
means of his lin mug; and that this
pool contains most of the variety of in
sects which have been specified. Doubt
less the boy had takenth unperceived
as eggs into his stomach and as he hap.

MAKING MORTAR.

| have been desired to give descrip-
ton of the Mill that | have been using
to grind mortar, for the brick dwelling
that have just completed. The prac-
tice of grinding mortar in mill, was
learnt in India. The mill is the same
as that sometimes used for grinding ap-
Piles. The lime after it has been slack
ed and mixed with sand, in proportions
according to its quality, is placed even
ly in trough, and ground by large
stone moving in circle.
The mill | have erected, is formed
of platform Of plank, three inches
thick, and seventeen feet diameter each
plank is long triangle, having its point
fitted into a groove, round solid log of
wood, that rises in the centre of the
platform, and which is firmly bedded in
the earth. On the top of this log the
pivot is fixed, that moves with the
stone, this pivot being made suf1ic-
iently large 10 receive the end Of the
shaft. The stone is 5 feet 8 inches
high and 6 inches thick; it is nearly a
ton weight, and moves with follower.
The trough is foot vide, and is form
ed of circles of timber 3 inches by 4,
strongly pinned to the plank.
The advantages of such mill for
making mortar are obvious. Cattle are
substituted for the labor of man. The
stone being so powerful, the mortar is
ground more perfectly than it can be
done by the hoe; and being free from
Jumps, the mason proceeds with his
work more rapidly. 1t is difficult to say
how much labor is actually saved, but a
good idea may lie formed from the re-
mark Of a cautious mason, who said that
its price, which to me was S25, would
be saved in building of $4,000 bricks.
The trough ought to be at least lG in
ches deep, and wider at the top than at
the bottom, to allow space for the NOR
tar to rise as the stone presses it. A
mill on this principle, well made, will
grind mortar sufficient to keep 90
hands empIoyed.--Yours, L. A.
