STORIES OF ANIMALS,
A Plucky Woman Pats Bears Head at
the Smithsonian Institute.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-At the Smith
sonian institute recently while Captain
Weeden, the keeper, was standing in
front of the bear pit, an elegantly dressed
woman of apparent refinement, approach
ed, and after looking through the bars a
few moments exclaimed impulsively;
"How | should like to hug that bear,''
The captain was astonished but manag-
ed to say: "Well, there is nothing to pre-
vent it,"
But how shall get in?" the visitor
asked.
"Come with me-"
Together they went to the door at the
side and without a moments hesitation
and with evidence of perfect composure,
the lady followed her guide into the pit.
Going boldly up to the largest bear she
patted him on the head to the intense as
constituent and admiration of the captain
who remarked, Madam, you are the nerv-
lest woman in Washington"
Thinking to test her further CAPTAIN
Weeden began to edge off towards the
door, but his guest had evidently read
about the traits of wild animals in cap
tivity and kept close to the keepers SIDE,
making her exit exactly in his company
and departing without making herself
known. She ran a greater risk than she
the captains presence would have been
sufficient to prevent her from being rough
IL dealt with if not seriously injured by
the lll-natured brutes if they felt inclined
to hurt her.
A tragical incident occurred some time
ago among the wild animals which had
been kept quiet by those in charge. The
pride of the collection is sleek-coated
jaguaIr, Jack by name, which
had been n c9ntiye since Only three
weeks ago and has not abated
one particle of his great native ferocity.
Captain Weeden had a pair of Scotch ter
riers which he turned loose in the building
after dark. The other night the watch
men were startled by series of ear-split-
ting yeips, which soon ceased and were
followed by most pitiful whining. When
Captain Weeden, who had been aroused by
the racket, reached the building he found
but one of the dogs. The other could not
be seen. After searching some time he
discovered its collar in Jacks cage, but
not so much as a hair renamed in sight.
The jaguar had caught him as he put his
paws up to to the ledge of the cage and
pulled him through the space under the
lower bar and floor of the cage and de-
youred him, rejecting nothing but the
metal collar that surrounded his neck.
Prof. Hornaday and Captain Weeden
have succeeded in bringing into fair condi-
ton the panther or mountain hon sent to
institution from Montana. 1t was caught
in trap when young and both fore feet
mangled so That's locomotion was almost
impossible 1t is about year old and al
though still crippled in its movements it
is able to leap thirty feet at single
spring. What it might do if in full pos
session of its powers is an interesting
question.
The latest addition to the collection is
animal. 1t is sure death to rats and in its
search for them is able to accommodate
itself to narrow winding galleries and
haunts of the smallest mice. while in its
ordinary condition its body is thicker than
that as good sized rat

What were supposed 20 no desevts arc
rapidly vanishing before the advance of
civilization. There was q time when tho
United States had only one of no small
siso, when IL was considered that all the
land west of the Missouri river was q bar-
rem waste. The farmers Of Kansas, Me-
brnska and Dakota have disposed of
much nj the great American desert, says
Iroa. Once upon q time large portions
OF the interior Of Africa were be-
lieved to he ard and unculti-
vablc. Now We learn that they are fruit
fl1 and well populated. The interior of
Australia has been held up as an awful
example of n bowling wilderness, dcsti-
tutc OF water and Of animal or vegetable
life. The illusion is now being rapidly
dispcIlcd. Recent explorers IMPORT that
inner Australia is no Saharan waste, and
large population: There are grassy plains,
large lakes, and also traces Of gold and
precious stones. A north and sonth rail-
way is now being made through the
center of Australia, and doubtless with its
completion the last trace of the desert
will vanish. The iron horse is u wonder
ful dispeiler of illusions of that kind. The
truth Is. that there are vast regions i'm
America. Asia and Australia which are
barren from the standpoint OF primitive
and ignorant agriculture, hut which, when
i'm hand 10y the educated farmer of
the present day. with his implements, de-
velop into fertile fields and pastures.

 Hope had a big fire on Thursday last, in which nearly all the wooden buildings on West Front street were burned, and also some wooden build ings on Elm street. The building occupied by Mir. Joe Kershaw was destroyed, but he saved nearly all his goods, etc., we are glad to learn. The Spirit of Hope' material also had to be removed to keep from burning,
 Mir. B. T. Lanes store, at Lane burg. was burned Friday night. He lost everything, the fire not having been discovered until far under way. His loss is heavy, only having S2, 900 insurance. It was evidently the work of an incendiary. This is the second time he has been burned out, the first time about two years ago. We regret his great misfortune, and hope the iiend who set fire to his store may be caught and promptly punished.
