A Gamecock Mhins a Tiger.

A correspondent of the London Fan
ciers Gazette relates, as an instance of
the courage of gamccocks, the follow
ing fact communicated by an officer
now in The American navy: "Sailing
from Trincomali, on board the An
chses for London, we had a large
consignment of wild beasts for Mr..
Jamrach, for the feeding of which he
had taken in a large number of live
poultry. On board there was tiger

At last he put his sharp spurs

tiger put his paw toward the bird in

and for few Minutes the tiger licked
his paw; then, reaching y his nose
until it got in close proXi with the
bird, the spurs were darnet. into the
tigers nose, from which the blood

pail of huckleberries to show him.
"a hat like a black saucer turned up

DESERT VICTIMS.
URUESOME RELICS FROM COLI
oRADO'S SEA OF LAND.
Daring Hunters Who Perished
Of Thirst.

1t is not generally known that
considerable number of men each year
lose their lives while crossing an
American scrt, ye; such is the case.
On my desk as write, wearing nv
hat rakishly cooked over its polished
forehead. aud on its jaws a perpetual
grin, is the skull of some wandering
fortune-hunter who doubtless died of
the thirst-agony. Like score of other
skulls and skeletons found in the sands
of the same Colorado desert this year
there is nothing to tell anything of
whoever it was who used this empty
bone as brain casket.
A "desert-man" who recently re-
turned from prospecting trip brought
in this skull, which he stumbled over,
as mem ento. The coyotes, the sun
and the sand have cleaned and pol
ished il until il looks as if prepared for
Doctors study, but if the tongueless
mouth could only speak what a story it
could tell of wandering over burning
sands under a merciless, consuming
sun, of lost road, of cracked throat
and swollen tongue, of dcirium, and
at last of merciful death. Colonel ID.
X. Allen, civil engineer and COM
mander Of a corps of prospectors in
the service Of the Mexican Colonial
ton Company, of Baia, Cal, who have
been looking for coal fields through
the desert country, estimates that last
/ winter a score of people met their
death from thirst and heat and men
tions number of ghastly discoveries.
One of the most striking of these
gruesome finds was made by Colonel
Allen in the lower bend Of New
River. He here came across a buck
board standing alone in the sa !ds
without horse or person in sight.
He left the trail and rode over to
where the vehicle stood, and fou d
that it was loaded with all the articles
necessary for a comfortable camping
trip, except one, the most essential
that is water. An expensive set of
harness was found on the ground near
