A nnsnernin Slinafinn.

The company belonging 10 Montgom-
cry Queens circus passed through the
public streets Of San Francisco. The
last wagon in the caravan consisted of u
cage containing lion and honess, and
tiger and their keeper. The tiger
crouched stealthily in one corner of the
cage, the honess in another, and between
them sat the keeper. During the entire
parade the hon manifested good deal
of uneasiness at the presence of the
tiger in the cage, and made several at
tempts to approach it, but was prevented
from doing so by the keeper. When op-
posite the Nevada block, ON Montgomery
street, however, the two animals man
aged to rush upon one another Then
followed one of the most exciting scenes
imaginable. The keeper rushed in be-
tween the infatuated animals for the pur-
pose of separating them, and the curious
and horror-stricken crowd rushed in
stinctively toward the cage TO render
assistance, were it possible. While en-
gagged in separating the beasts, the lion
seized the keepers thigh and drove his
teeth deep into the flesh. The excited
crowd on the outside then began to raise
their voices in alarm, but the man whose
life was thus placed in jeopardy coolly
told them to be quiet, and seizing an
iron bar he struck the lion ON the head
several times, finally compelling him to
release his hold and return to his corner.
Blood flowed freely from his wounds.

itself as follows concerning the war be-

4 Cnrlous Storm Of lightning.

At a recent meeting 81 the French
Academy Of Sciences, paper, giving the
following curious description Of a storm
observed by NJ. Edward Blanc, ON March
u. at Neuce. IN the Var, was read
"The weather had been variable during
the dav; at seven A. M. a hail-stoTln. ac-
companicd with thunder, had swept over
the whole northern seaboord Of the
Mediterranean from west 10 q st; Trelus,

been visited, but the center 81 the tor
nado was several leagues away ON the
sea, where the clouds hRd characteristic
copper tint Nence had been but slightly
touched, had had some intermittent ram
mingled with hailstones, and occasional
squalls. During the rest of the day the
sun shone out, and at intervals big
black cloud would travel from west 10
east. letting fall shower Of ram lasting
but few minutes. The sun was warm,
and set in a cloudless horizon. About
midnight, NJ. Blanc was surprised 10 see
numerous flashes Of lightning 20 the
east. the sky overhead being clear.
There was no thunder, although the
phenomenon could not be at any great
distance. NJ. Blanc proceeded 10 a spot
where nothing could obstruct the oh
server. and saw the whole eastern horizon
covered by layer of black clouds, over
which number of light and feecy cirri
were skimming in various directions; the
general appearance was that of dense
massin ebuhtion, on the surface Of which
light scorie were dancing abo'tt To
the northeast Of Vence, and at a distance
Of eighteen kilometres or thercabouts,
large black cloud seemed 10 be exceeding
" disturbed: il was constantly rising and
falling. and above il fircballs resembling
rockets issuing from bouquet of FIRE
works seemed 20 start from m invisible
center, flew about in every direction,
and after passing over a space of from
six 10 eight degrees, would burst silently,
leaving a dazzling train behind. The
apparent diameter of these balls was
about one degree; they moved slowly,
aud the phenomenon was repeated three
or four times in two minutes. From
time 10 time the cloud was torn by n
fash of lightning, accompanied 10y n
rumbling sound.
