Terrible Fight i'm a Menagerie.

A remarkable scene occurred on Febru-
airy 20, at Burr Robins farm, near Jones
vile, Wis, where he winters his men,
agerie. About midnight the sacred OK
got loose, backed out Of his stall, and
stopped close to den occupied by
Bengal tiger. The tiger seized the OK
by the neck with such tenacity that
when the OK tried to escape he separated
the cage bars and drew the tiger through
them. Then terrible battle commenced.
The Waterman climbed to the top of the
building to save his life. The noise
awoke Sam Dickey and Richard Brooks,
who slept in the upper part of the build
ing, and they at once came down to dis
cover the cause of the din. The hyena,
elephant, and all the other animals were
terribly excited, and doing their utmost
to escape. Brooks and Dickey jumped
upon the tiger, and by choking him sue
ceeded in tearing him from his victim
but he escaped them and again fastened
upon the OK. They again secured q
stout rope around his throat, and
dragging him of, secured him once more
in his cage. Both men were badly bit
ten and cut up. Brooks will probably
be laid up for several weeks. They
stood about one chance in a hundred o
escaping with their lives.-Chicog

A railway employee writes to the Jour
nal of the Society of Arts on this subject.
He says: With reference to my remarks
in my communication, that trains can
not be heard so distinctly in foggy as in
clear weather." do not think it is gen.
orally known (although well-knOwn
fact amongst railway men) that after
slight shower of rain, or on dcwy or
frosty morning, trains cannot be heard Mt
so great distance as they can on dry,
clear day, because at such times the
metals are what is termed greasy, and as
fog makes the metals more greasy than
rain or dew. / think the above will be
sufficient to prove that | am correct in
what state, for there is as much dif!er-
ence in the noise that train makes on a
dry day and what is termed greasy one,
as there would be in man running or
sliding over a pond covered with ice
the running would represent the dry day
and the sliding the greasy one. Now,
sir independent of the above causes, / do
not believe that sounds are more audible
in foggy than in clear weather, for the
following reasons: About two years ago
I was stationed at the mouth of tun-
mel to protect trains in consequence of a
large stream of water having forced itself
through the wall at distance of about
a quarter of mile from the mouth of
the tunnel. l could distinctly hear the
water running. Also l could hear the
men at work trying to prevent it; but
one morning dense fog came over, and |
could neither hear the running of the
water nor the men at work, so came to
the conclusion that the water had ceased,
but when the man came out of the tun'
mel, who had to inform me as to the state
of the roads, l remarked to him that
supposed the water had stopped, but, to
my surprise, he said it was running faster
if anything! / called his attention to
the fact that could not hear it, and We
could neither of us make out the cause
but when the fog cleared away we could
hear the noise as distinctly as before, but
it was not until the above occurred three
or four times that we came to the con
clusion that it was owing to the mouth
of the tunnel being blocked up with fog
that we could not hear the water run
ming. Then again, sir, / didn't know
whether you have noticed it or not, bu
fog is very deceptive, for l have hearc
old railway men say that they have
heard train coming when it had beer
foggy, but for the life of them they could
not tell whether it was an up or dow
train.
