An extraordinary fight between lion and tiger in
mcnagcre is mentioned by late English paper. The
tiger only eighteen months old but Of very large
size the lion aged six years. 1t hap
pcncd as follows:
The attendants had all left the menagerie to 90 to
breakfast, when suddenly those in the carriage which
the propretors occupy were alarmed by unusual out
cry among the beasts They discovered the cause
The tiger had burgariousy broken through the slide
partition dividing his den from that of the ion and had
the latter in his terrible grasp. the combat which
sued terrific one. The lion acted chiefly On the
defensive and having probably been considerably tanned
by his three years confinement the newly imported tiger
had the advantage. His attacks of the most Zero
cious kind The lions name saved his head and neck
from being much injured but his savage assailan at last
succeeded in ripping open his belly, and then the poor
animal was at the tigers mercy. The lion was dead in
a few minutes. The scene was fearful The in
mates of every den seemed to be excited by the conflict
and their roaring and bowling might have been heard
quarter of mile distant OF course the men could not
interfere while the conflict lasted but when the tigers
fury had partly subsidized they managed to remove the
carcase. He must have used his paws as sort Of bat
tering ram against the partition, as it pushed in
rather than torn down.

different not only from coloquial English but
even from that of ordinary written composition IN
stead of about 10000 words there is probably no single
author III the language from whose works. however yo-
luminous, so many ten thousand could be selected
OF the 10000 words there certainly many more than
onehaf that are only employed, if they are ever en-
poyed at all, on the rarest occasions Why should any
of us be surprised to find, if we counted them with how
small number of words manage to express all that
we have to say either with lips Or even with the
pen. Our common literary English probably hardly
amounts to 10000 words; our common spoken English
hardly to 5000"
