How . Wild Beast Tanner Subdues OBJ.
streperous Creatures.
Mr.. Ranspach, tanner of wild beasts
in Germany. has invented an electric
wand which is said to have the most
marvellous effect upon his beasts. He
has experimental himself in his own
menagerie with the following results:
The lion touched with the electric wand
became very frightened, trembled all
over and growled. The tiger received
the touch more calmly, appeared fright
encd and crouched in a corner.
The bear was quite insensible to the
first touches, simply growled and showed
his teeth, but the most strange effect was
upon the boa-constrictor, reptile from
CAYENNE, twenty feet long. On being
touched he became paralysed and re-
manned six hours without moving, after
which he appeared a little better, but re-
manned three days in a state of semi-tor-
por. The elephant on being touched at
the end of his trunk made a great noise
and became so furious that the tanner
thought he would break the bars Of his
cage. The tanner left, and so terminated
his first cxperiment-Pdyis Nes0s.

Mayor Smith recently received from
C. Law, of Pittston. for inspection, a
pair of trousers made of seventy-five diff
ferent colored patches and weighing
about twenty pounds. A placard con-
tanning the following accompanied tho
curiosity:
These pants were fifty-two years in
actual service by North Carolina col
ored gentleman by the name Of Sam
Williams. better known in his country
as Father SAM who is now at the ripe
old age of one hundred and eight years
and still able to walk around. Father Of
twenty-three children, all living, the old
est being ninety-one years; ninety-four
grandchildren. He was slave for
sixty-four years. These were his we'd
ding pants, and six of his sons wore the
same pants for wedding pants. They
arc highly priced by the old gent and
his children. They were sent to me by
a friend, who had to deposit fifty dollars
as q guarantee of their being returned.
They were in actual wear thirty-two
years, and have been on exhibition for
the past twenty years. They have been
across the ocean four times and on ex-
hib;t:on in all the large cities of the
United States. You are requested to re-

METEoRs O. AMERioA.

xhros 1smaraEabae Brlmiant Fire Halls Oh
served h tAs Unissa States.
On the evening Of December 3. 1870.
ut about eight o'clock, there was seen in
Kansas bright fire ball. which rose in
the western sky near where the moon
then was. II crossed the heavens ap-
parently near the center Of the State, its
fight to the horizon appearing to OBJ
servers to last about minute. The
same meteor was seen to pass similarly
from svest-eouthwest to east-northeast
BY Observers in many States from Ne
hraska to West Virginia, and from Ms
SOUR to Wisconsin. Near the meteorss
path, four or five minutes after its pass
age, loud explosions were heard. re-
sembling distant cannonading, or noises
like the rafting of empty wagons over
stony roads. So loud were the noises
that people and animals were frightened.
The explosions were heard east Of
the Mississippi everywhere within sixty
miles Of the estimated path Of the
meteor, and at Bloomington, Ind, one
hundred and fifty miles distant, sounds
were noted which were supposed to come
from the meteor. Over Central Illinois
the meteor broke into fragments like an
exploding rocke {, and over Indiana and
Ohio it formed flock or cluster of me-
teors computed to be forty miles long and
five miles broad. The sky over New
York was overcast, but from many
places in the State came accounts of rat
Ting of houses, laundering noise, and
other such phenomena, which. at the
time, were attributed to an earthquake.
At one place in Northern Indiana a
farmer heard a heavy thud, and found
beneath the snow the next morning a
strange stone weighing three-qarters OF
apound. By putting together the vari-
Gus accounts of observers itappears that
the meteor was first seen near the north
west corner of Indian Territory, at an
elevation Of from sixty to one hundred
miles above the earth s surface. Thence
it travelled to point over Central New
Yerk ii about two minutes, approach
in0 the earth al the while.
A similar meteor was seen on the
evening Of July 20, 1860, in New
York. Pennsylvania and New England.
The light was so vivid that thousands
Of persons left their houses to see it.
Its velocity was computed at from
ten to twelve miles per second-fifty
times the velocity of sound. This me-
teor disappeared from sight over the At
lantic Ocean.
EARLY in the last century brilliant
meteor was seen in New York City. A
worthy citizen of that day chronicles
how he was sitting on We stoop" in
Maiden Lane, at about eight o'clock,
when meteor or Starr Shott Across
ye Hemisphere, making so brilliant
. light that, although the night was very
dark. s.all Objects in We Street appeared
very visible. ~ Chicago Times.

this to be quite in accordance with the

plcntifully Our Creator has provided for
this great need in the abundant fruitful
ness of earth, air and sea! How soon
the palate tires of one kind of diet! How
soon the body starves when fed upon ono
