Killing a Wild Boast Which Was the
 Talk of India Newspapers.
 It is well known that about twenty five thousand people year fall prey to the wild beasts of India. The larger part of these victims are killed by tigers and venomous snakes which are met in the jungle. As rule, says the Chicago Herald, the victims of these tragedies are guilty of great carelessness. With care the danger of wild beasts might, in the majority of these cases, be avertcd.
 An animal which has for some months been written about a great deal in the Indian newspapers has at last sue cumbed, having met his well-dcscrved fate on June T. He proved to be full grown leopard, probably about four years old He had lurlxed around the villages in the edge of the jungle for months watching for his prey, and at least fifteen people were killed ny him, including several adults as we'll as chil- dren. It was hard work to kill him, and he hurt three people badly before he was incapacitated for further harm. HIS lS Niit way lltl HIS
 He had been lowering round a camp of Busahiri during the night of June 3, but was kept off by five large sheep dogs. In the morning of the 7th wom- an saw him in some long grass near the bungalow, and taking him for a large jungle cat after the fowls ran after him. He charged her, striking her on the chest, and seized her by the arm. She struck him over the head with a heavy stick, and, other people coming up, the leopard let go and ran into a garden near the bungalow. The woman was found to have two claw wounds on her chest and six deep bites on her left arm
 By this time some twenty persons had assembled, and went into the garden in search of the beast. A syce in the serv- ice of the assistant commissioner de- clared he believed it was only a jackal, but the words were hardly out of his mouth when the leopard, which had been hiding under stone, charged straight at the syce with a roar, knock ing him down and wounding him badly. He was badly clawed on both arms, be- hind the right ear, and bitten on the scalp, and would certainly have been killed had not a man named Nazina run in and driven a hog spear clean through the leopard's body. The brute left the syce, and tried to work itself up the shaft of the spear to get at his new as sailant, but it only succeeded in tearing his clothes, Nazina escaping unhurt. A mistri ran in to club it, but got clawed on the chin for his pains, Nazina hold ing on his spear all the time. By this time the others, who had bolted when the leopard charged, returned, and the leopard was clubbed to death.

ALLIGATOR FARMS.

| New Southern Industry Due to Reck-
less Slaughter tn the Pasts
Within the past 10 years the alligators
in Louisiana have been nearly extermi.
mated. The demand for alligator leather
and oil and the sport in shooting CATERS I"
have killed off this saurian in all except
the lakes and bayous of southern Pla-
quemines, Lafourche, and Terrebonne.
There is not one alligator in Louisiana to-
day where there were 20 10 years ago,
and the profession of alligator hunting
which formerly gave employment to a
large number of "swampers, is now
followed by not over score of people,
and these are only temporarily employed
during the dull season.
The extent to which the determination
has been carried is well shown in the fact
that young alligators as pets and the
mounted or stuffed alligators formerly
sold in such large numbers to Northern
tourists at 25 cents apiece have grown so
scarce of late that it is almost impossi-
BILE to get them at any price.
An attempt is now being made on
Bayou Morris in that State to supply the
deficiency by artifcially Matching and
raising alligators for the Northern mar
ket. The animal is easily reared and
domesticated, although treacherous and
liable to prove ugly when made angry,
at which time its bite seems to be poison
GUS. That it can be raised in confine--
ment has been clearly demonstrated by
the large number of pet alligators kept
in New Orleans at private residences, as
well as in public places. All that seems to
be needed for them is little mud and
water and fish.
The Terrebonne plan, however, looks to
raising the alligator not as pets or for
amusement, but in large quantities for
the market. The alligator field is fenced
in. Within this field the alligators are
imprisoned, having access to bayou or
pond, where they can refresh themselves!
The eggs are Matched in a neighboring
sandbar. As soon as the young alliga-
tors make their appearance they are
removed to the pond and brought up by
hand, care being taken to keep the small
separated from the large ones, who other
wise will devour them. The alligator
farms offer to buy all the small saurians
that can be captured, which are then
placed within the enclosure until they
grow to a proper size for killing and
skinning, when the skins will bring from
$1.25 to 50, according to size and quality.
The expenses of carrying on this new
industry are small, nothing beyond the
original cost of the eggs or the young
alligators and fencing in the field. The
experiment is too young yet to pronounce
it success or a failure, but those who
have embarked in it, and who have
studied the question, say that there is
money to be made in the business.

For several days the departure of Co

CRUISE AMONG THE BAHAMA ISLANDS.

On leaving San Salvador Columbu
was at loss which way to direct his
course. A great number Of islands,
green and level and fertile, invited him
in different directions The Indians on
board of his vessel intimated by signs
that they were innumerable, we'll peo-
pied apd at war with one another. They
mentioned the names of above hun
dred. Columbus now had no longer a
doubt that he was among the islands
described by Marco Polo as studding the
vast sea Of Chin or China, and lying at
q great distance from the mainland.
These, according TO the Venetian,
amounted to between seven and eight
thousand and abounded with drugs and
spices and odoriferous trees, together
with gold and silver and many other
precious objects Of cnlnmerce
Animated by the idea of exploring
this opulent archipelago, he selected the
largest island in sight for his next visit.
It appeared to be about five leagues dis
tance, and he understood from his In
dians that the natives were richer than
those Of San Salvador, wearing bracelets
and anklets and other ornaments of mas
sive gold.
The night coming on, Columbus or
dered that the ships should lie to-, as the
navigation was difficult and dangerous
among these unknown islands, and he
feared to venture upon q strange coast in
the dark. In the morning they again
made sail, but meeting with counter
currents it was not pntil sunset that
they anchored at the island. The next
morning 16th) they went ON shore, and
Columbus took solemn possession. CIV
ing the island the name of Santa Maria
do IA Cpncepcion. The same scene oc-
eurred with the inhabitants as with
those of San Salvador. They manifested
the same astonishment and awe; the
game Rsme gentleness and simplicity, and the
same nakedness and absence Of wealth
Columbus looked in vain for bracelets
and anklets of gold, or for any other
precious articles; they had been either
tictiops of his Indian guides or his own
misinterpretations.
Returning on board, he prepared to
make sail, when one Of the Indians of
San Salvador, who was on board of the
Nina, plunged into the sea and swan to
large canoe filed with natives. The
boat of the caraEel put off in pursuit,
but the indians managed in their light
bark with toe much velocity to be over
taken, and, reaching the land. fed to the
woods. The sailors took the canoe as q
prize, and returned on board the carayel.

previous to his making land may have
been on Watling's island, which lies a
few leagues to the east San Salvador
is one of the great cluster Of the Lucayos
or Bahama islands, which stretch south
east and northwest from the coast OF
Florida to Hispaniola covering the
northern cost of Cuba.
On the morning of the 18th of October
the admiral set off at daybreak with the
boats of the ships to reconnoiter the
island, directing his course to the north
east. The coast was surrounded by a
reef of rocks, within which there was
depth of water and sufficient harbor to
receive all the ships in Christendom.
The entrance was very narrow. Within
there were many sand banks. but the
water was as still sin pool.
The island appeared throughout to be
well wooded, with streams of water and
a large lake in the center. As the boats
proceeded they passed two or three vii
lagos, the inhabitants of which, men as
well as women. ran to the shores, throw
ing themselves on the ground, lifting up
their hands and eyes. either giving
thanks to heaven, or worshiping the
Spaniards as supernatural beings. They
ran along parallel to the boats, calling
after the Spaniards and inviting them
by signs to land, Offering them various
fruits and vessels Of water. Finding,
however, that the boats continued on
their course, many threw themselves
into the sea and swan after them, and
others followed in canoes. The admiral
received them all with kindness, giving
them glass beads and other trifes,
which were received with transport as
celestial presents. for the invariable idea
of the savages was that the white men
had come from the skies.
In this way they pursued their course
until they came to q small peninsula
which with two or three days labor
might be separated from the mainland
and surrounded with water, and was
therefore specified by Columbus as an
excellent situation for a fortress. On
this were six Indian cabins, surrounded
by groves and gardens as beautiful as
those of CASTLE The sailors being
wearied with rowing and the island not
appearing to the admiral of sufficient
importance to induce colonization, he re-
turned to the ships, taking seven of the
natives with him, that they might ac-
quire the Spanish language and serve as
interpreters.
Having taken in q supply of wood and
water, they left the island of San Saliva
dor the same evening, the admiral being
impatient to arrive at the wealthy coun-
try to the south, which he iattered him
self would prove the famous island of
Gpango.
