Miss Collier Is pupil in the Childress
district school. and although she lives
ten miles from that town she makes
the trip back and forth each day on a
spirited Texan pony. One morning last
week she left home ut IN early hour
and was riding leisurely along when
she espied an enormous panther imme-

short prairie grass. ready for fatal
spring. With admirable presence of
mind Miss Collier seized tho lariat
hanging at her saddle-bow, and with
great deXterity the animals neck was
encircled with the deadly coil At
word from its mistress the pony which
Miss Collier was riding sprang away at
galiop, dragging the savage but help
less monster to It's death. Upon be-
coming satisfied that the animals life
was extinct the young lady undid the
rope from the pommel OF her saddle,
leaving the panther stretched upon tho
prairie behind her. Proceeding on her
way to school she met John Perry In

where the dead panther lay and pro-

dieting the extinction of the oyster beds

college is III the center of tide-watcr
Virginia, contiguous to the oystcr-beds
of James and York rivers, and the gift

cooperation of the State.
1t may be true, rs Florida papers
say, that Indian river alone has oys-

tinent for years, or, as one journal
puts 1t, that ANY settler along its
banks who wants n bed of his own

NEW METHODS OF WARFARE.

ELECTRICITY Applied to tho Firing of CAT

Recent experiments at the naval prov

to IN electric motor have determined q
new method for firing this class of
ordnance on shipboard, says the New
York Tribune. Tho results were sat-
.isfactory, md hereafter guns mounted
ION deck or aloft will be operated by q
motor. Landing parties on shore will
continue to fire the gun by tho usual
method. The motor attachment Is an
Improvement instituted by DIR. r. ].
'Gatling, and the plans of the arrange
'ments were made by the Croker
Wheeler Motor Company of New York
City. who also furnished the electrical
appliance. The adoption of the motor
will result in an economy of men and

OF the fire. Where before two men
were required to operate the Cutting
guns only one viii be necessary here
after. Heretofore one man, the gun
iDcr, trained tho gun md dropped the
shot where they would produce the
greatest effect and another operated
the crank which sets in motion the
mechanism of the piece. by the new
system the gunner alone trains and OPP
crates the gun by touching button.
The motor is attached to the breech
OF the gun md moves with 1t in oil di-
rections. 1t can be detached instantly,
the connection being n specially de-
.vised one, md injury to the motor

In n Pound ofrea.

a man who argues that one pound of
tea makes four hundred small or three
hundred ordinary-sized cups states his
case as follows: Tea testers ordinarily
use silver five-cent piece for weighing
the exact quantity required for cup.
AS there arc about twenty-five five-cent
pieces to an ounce, and us there arc
sixteen ounces to pound, it follows
that one pound of tea will actually
make four hundred cups, according to
the standard of strength ordinarily ro-
quircd by professional testers. The
cups used for this purpose contain,
however, onc-fourth less than the aver
age domestic teacups. 1t will, there
fore, be seen that after making due
allowance for the difference in the size
of the cups the number will be very
close to three hundred.
