Hand to Hand Struggles With Tigers
Pleacure Beside Alligators
and Snakes.

You often hear it said of man, that he
doesn't seem to know what fear is. He
may not, 50 far as standing up before other
men or facing ordinary dangers, but there
are two dangers which 10 living man can
face and mold his nerve very long. / as

meet some of the most courageous men Of
this generation, and | have had opportu-
mites to see their nerve under fire
There is probably no place in the world
where the man-eating shark grows 10
larger proportions and fercer disposition
than in the Gulf of Bengal And in the
bays and harbors along the coast the croc-
odile attains his full size, and his temper
fully ripens. While l was in the English
mail service in India, one of the ideas
worked out was speedier transportation.
New routes were selected to save distance,
and whenever it was possible the rivers
were made use of. On one occasion was
descending the Little Rangoon river with
three natives and the mail bags, when we
were hailed from shore by an English hun

tigers, six or eight large serpenJs and much
other game. He had several fresh sears to
prove a hand-to-hand conflict with u

to every danger one could dream of, was
proof that

DURABILITY OF GUTTA PERcHA.-In
the matter of the durability of gutta-
percha there was recently shown speci-
men Of it that had lain immersed in water
between BlackwelPs Island and New York
for a period Of thirty -seven years, and is
still in first-class condition. The only in
dication of wear on the gutta-percha is
where it rubbed against the rocks on the
bottom of the river, and that is very slight.
Another specimen is of a ten-eonductor
gutta-percha insulated underground cable,
which was recently taken from the grounds
around the Capitol at Washington, where
it was laid in 1873 The cable of which
this is a section is still working, and the
specimen gives every indication of being as
good as when srst put down, fourteen years
ago.

CosT OF LONDON FoG-The cost of a
single day of fog to the gas consumers of
London may be gathered from figures COM
piled from official sources On a day of
dense and continuous fog, necessitating the
extensive use of gas, the quantity of gas
supplied to London by the Gas Light and
Coke Company amounted to 103,664, 900
cubic feet, or 35,000,000 cubic feet in ex-
cess. The above excess in the supply of
gas would represent the supply to a town
of from 10000 to $4,000 inhabitants for a
whole year. In addition to the quantity
supplied by the company mentioned there
was supplied by the other two metropoli-
tan companies-the South Metropolitan
and Commercial-about 100000 cubic
feet, making total consumption for Lon
don, on day of fog, of nearly 150,00000O
cubic feet Approximately the value of
this gas was Ell, 900, of which cost from
g., 900 to $4,000 was directly due to the
fog.

STUDY Your HoRsE-Every farmer,
says Field and Fanl, should study and have
a general knowledge of the internal struct-
ure of the horse-his greatest helpmate at
labor. He should know, and probably
does, that of all the domestic animals the
horse has the smallest stomach. and there
fore should be fed and watered the often
est. He should know, and probably does
that healthy, aforementioned horse sell
dom sleeps more than an hour at time
and usually does so With full stomach.
He should know, and probably does, that
horse lays down twice during the night
and should have hay or something else to
eat between times. His longest and best
rest at this season of the year is between
the hours of and o'clock in the morn
ing. He should know, and probably does,
thata horse should seldom be wztered i'm

An Investigation shows Quite Clear
ly That Buckley Really Met His
Death BY Attempting To Board a
Train.
Officers McAvoy and Shamp of the pre-
oinct have been investigating the mystery of
the injury of the three companions, Owen Nc
Mullen, Thomas Costello and Thomas De-
laney, for the last four days. They have been
trying to solve the question as to whether
Joseph Buckley of Hartford, who died from
his injuries, was murdered They have come
to the conclusion emphatically that there
was murder at all. After most diligent
inquiry they find that the four men were seen
in group standing on the East street bridge
shortly before the 1890 freight train came
along by Pat Cavan, who lives close to the
bridge He was going home and recognized
as among the four McMullen, the New Ha-
veneer. All were under the influence of liq-
uor. Before he went into the house he saw
them go down the steps and under the
bridge. Cavan told the officers that SO far
from there being quarrel among the men
they were evidently friends and talking in
friendly manner.
"Joe, the barber" an italian barber in the
McKenna block, has been able to throw aside
all idea that Costello was murdered. When
was with two others of his own countrymen
and they were on their way home from visit
ing a friend on Laurel street. When they
got to the East street bridge thsy heard
groans and on investigating they found Cos
tello where he had crawled after being in
jured. One of them went at once and mott
fed the police. Costello, on being asked
what the matter was, told Joe that he had
been struck by q train. They saw - ZONE
but Costello and did not know +i6ora ~, e,.s
any injured men under the bridge. Costello
sa,u ho'1ing Az LIT it, being almost unable to
oaiA' an mis- statement as to his injuries,
coming as it did from the lips of man who
was in such weakened and pitiable state,
goes to show strongly that there was no quar-
| rel between the men whatever and that they
| were trying to board the train.
The theory of the police is, after this in
vestigation, that all four were trying to get
on the freight train. Three of them belonged
| out of town and all wanted to get home.
| They had prevailed on McMullen to go with
| them. They evidently thought the train,
| which was a freight train, would be going
slow through that cut and they could easily
get aboard. Being drunk they hardly knew
what they were about, and when the train
came along, although it was going very fast,
being light freight, they caught hold and
| all were dragged along and thrown violently
on the track.
George Wallace, the switchman near the
bridge, is willing to testify that there was NO
| trouble of any kind until after the 1880
train had passed. He thinks there is nc
| train.
Costello, who is still at the hospital, re-
fuses to make any statement. He is improv-
| ing and will be able to be out soon.' His sur
viving companions, who also at the hos
pital are getting better.

Rev. DIR. Henry Clay Trumbull gave the
last lecture in the Lyman Beecher course yes
terday afternoon in the Marquand chapel to
an enthusiastic audience. The subject was
Preaching to Children. It's Principles and
It's Methods" The thoughts of the lecture
were grouped about the following points:
In preaching to children the theme or topic
must be one which has value in and for
itself Of absorbing interest to the speaker, as
the audience Of children is discerning as well
az appreciative, and such an audience can
comprehend the truth better than an adult
congregation. of the same native quality; the
Bible text must explicitly teach or fairly
suggest the theme, the plan must be well de-
fined, the language should be simple, the
statement clear and the applications explicit.
Moreover, there must be q connection between
the preacher and the children, as for a cur
rent of electricity there must be a Complete
circuit. Mr.. Trumbull recommended the
practice of having the children rs-state the
text and divisions of the sermon given to
them.
