The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1879-06-12

Friday night, after the London circus
train had left Washington, Pa, and had
traversed about 30 miles, fullsized Bra
lillian jaguar, u beast more ravenous and
ferocious than a tiger, escaped from his
cage on a flat car and bounded into the
woods. The train had stopped to permit
another train To pass, and a tramp, who
had secreted himself on, the car, opened
the cage, allowing the animal its liberty.
About 20 of his fellow tramps had been
previously erected from the train, and it Is
supposed he committed the oct tor spite.
One of the circus hands saw him
open the cage, but supposed he was one of
the regular hands. When the animal es.
capped, the tramp jumped from the train,
and, although pursued by about 70 men,
made good his escape. The jaguar was a
powerful animal, and cost 81 500 two
years ago. He was about five feet long,
and naturally one of the most ferocious
beasts in the menagerie. Early this morn
ing the mangled remains of q rlan were
found near the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad. Is miles east of this place. II
has not been ascertained yet whether this
is the first victim of the jaguar or not.
The people here are much excited, and
have been warned to take all precautions
against an attack. The proprietors offer
$500 for the capture of the beast alive or
for proof of his death. They disclaim any
responsibility for loss of life or damage TO
farmers stock, which may cnsue, as the
escape was something which they could
not guard against. .-...

A stock anecdote told by American trav.
elers in Europe is that when the London
school.boy sees for the first time citizen
of the United States, he raises his hand in
worderment, and cxclaims: But he is
not black"
The thing may have happened or not,
but it might easily occur. The geographi-
cal chart which hangs on the wall of a
London school house has upon 1t the pic
turc Of a prancing brown Indian, in full
feathers and war paint, and underneath
the chart maker means To designate the
aborgine Of the Western world, but the
school-boy naturally takes it to mean the
present inhabitant of the United States. \
Grown sons of John BuIl might be ex-
pected to know better. But many of them
really seem not to. A gentleman of this
city, who lately visited relatives in London,
found it impossible to convince them that
buffalo and Indians did not stalk wild on
the streets of Cincinnati. A late writer in
Lippencott's Magazine has had the rare
privilege Of examiSing a new edition
of British school geography, which, con-
sidering that Alexander Mackey, Its author
and maker, is Fellow of the Royal Geo
graphical Society, and Doctor of Laws,
displays even more magnificent igno-
rance of America than that of
the Cincinnatian's London friends
An American was put TO school in Eng
land and work called the Elements OF

the title-pagc it was stated that the book

that the tenn implies. The preface stated

state of suspense DIR. Mackcy leaves

well be still wondering what become of

gets in this:

late civil war, while by a recent proclama-
ton of President Lincoln liberty has

For all the school-boy knows, therefore,
President Lincoln is at the head of gov

extraordinary information still is dropped

things BY way of omission, no mention

mia anthracite coal bed, certainly the most

A Wax-ProAucinx Insect.

We learn from the Colonies and India
that an American explorer has recently
discovered in the little-known district Of
Yucatan, bordering on British Honduras,
valuable insect, possessing properties
which ought Ia make it rival of the
cochineal and shcllac-producing insects.
This Is the neen, or min, species of
coccus, which feeds On the maugO-tree
and similar plants, and exists in numer-
Gus quantities in Central America.
II is of considerable size, oi yel-
lowish brown color, and emits a
peculiar oily odor, containing.
as it does, large quantity Of
fatty oil. or rather grease. This grease is
used by the natives for various purposes,
being highly priced as a medicinal oil for
external application, and il is also en-
ployed for mixing paints. 1t can be made
to change its condition very considerably
by different processes. When expOeed to
great heat, the lighter oils evaporate,
leaving tough, flexible mass. resembling
half softened wax, but unaffected by heat
or cold. which may be used as a lacquer
or varnish, When burned, this material
produces thick semifuid mass, some
what resembling a solution of india rub
Der, which, after few days, becomes hard
and solid. As q cement this substance will
be invaluable, and it might also be used
for water.proofing purposes.-( Nature.
