rested on the black pile, and they fled,
headlong and dazed with horror.
There remained no doubt in their
minds as to what they had seen. Next
day information was rendered to the
police that Professor Paul Linheim was
engaged upon the vivisection of a child.
The fact that he had been in trouble
once for the unauthorized vivisection
of animals lent color to the charge. He
was arrested at once, along with Black
Jacob and the latter's wife. Ernest
Linheim was absent on botanizing ex-
pedition, and the police of the locality
in which he was supposed to be were
ordered to apprehend him, too. All
Nuremberg was wild. 1t was by
miracle of hard fighting that the three
prisoners were got safely to Jail, while
strong guard had to garrison the
theater of the alleged crime to save it.
from sack and destruction.
The remainder of the story is best
and briefest told in the following ex-
tracts from the report of the Magiste-
rial examination. Paul Linheim ex-
hibited no uneasiness, and even seemed
more amused than troubled by the So
lemnity of the occasion with which he
was confronted. In reply to a query
of the Magistrate as to whether he
knew of the charge made against him
he replied in the affirmative.
"And is it true?'
&" In measure, yes"
" You have been operating, alone,
on childP"
IF Black Jacob is to be believed.
Yes; he calls it his child"
The unnatural parent at this stage of
the proceedings disclosed his discolored
fangs in hideOus grin. Even the
Court officers uttered a groan of horror,
and the spectators were about to launch
themselves upon the odious monster
when his master began to speak again.

Strange Food.

Some score or so of contributors to g.
French sporting journal dined one day
upon the ham and heart of lion,
killed by Constant Cheret in Algeria.
The flesh of the lion was found to be
particularly firm and close-grained,
like that of a horse, but alth ough pro-
nounced palatable, it only achieved
what is termed SaCceS d'eStinge, while
the heart, skillfully prepared with
trufles, was unanimously voted tough
and indigestible. In fact, the French
journalists were not much better
pleased with their fare than was Bruce,
the traveller, when the guest of the
Arab tribe of Welled Sidi Booianim,
"the sons of the fathers of the focks,"
bound by VOW to eat lions flesh once,
every day; for the traveller found male
lion meat lean, tough and musky in
flavor, lioness meat trife fatter and
more palatable, and Whelp flesh the
nastiest of the three.

600 acres, from entry by homestead and pre-,

that the land west of the Tooth meridian viii
