Races That Live on Meat.

Many races of men live entirely on
animal food, and these are the more
hardy, and to q careful observer il
would appear to be the most free from
diseases OF all kinds. Sir Francis
Head said OF the Pampas Indians:
"They are all horsemen, or, rather,
pass their lives on horseback. In
spite OF the climate, which is burning
hot in summer and freezing in winter,
these brave men, who have never yet
been subdued, are entirely naked,
and have not even covering for their
head. They live together in tribes,
each OF which is governed by a cacique
but they have no fixed place OF resi-
dence. Where the pastpse is good,
there are they to be found until it is
consumed by their horse, and then
they instantly move to more ver-
dant spot. They have neither bread,
fruit nor vegetables, but they subsist
entirely on the flesh OF their mares.
The Guachos OF the Argentine republic
live entirely on roast beef and salt,
scarcely ever tasting farinaceous or
other vegetable food, and their sole
beverage is mate of Paraguay tea
taken without sugar."

FROM COAL MINE TO HAREM
How a French Peasant Girl Became

Here is little romance in real life

ing in the coal mines of France. Some
charitable person struck no doubt by
the girls wonderful beauty, found her
n situation in famous dressmaking
establishment in Paris, where her
superior intelligence soon made her a
favorite with the madame" says a
correspondent OF the Leeds Mercury.
She was at last sent to CONSTANT
nople with some dresses which had
been ordered by the sultan's mother,
and from that time nothing was heard
OF her for many years. She might,
perhaps, have faded out of their
memory, had not relative died and
left her small inheritance. Notices
were then published asking for her
whereabouts.
In answer to these q splendid
equipage drew up in front OF the en-
bassy, and the sultan's favorite wife
stepped out to declare herself the one
time Flora Collin. She renowned the
legacy in favor of her kindred, who
were still poor, and, in reply to many
inquiries, she explained that it was
the old story OF love at first sight
between the sultan and the beautiful
modiste.

Lions and lsufYaloen.

A well-known traveller in Africa says
that in one CT his long journeys he
came across the dislocated skeleton of
buffalo almost intermingled with the
broken bones of lion, the skull of
which was lying near, while the skull
of the buffalo was also near at hand,
but devoid of the nasal bones. The
ground evidently was the scene of a
desperate combat in which both ami
mails had succumbed.
1t is common practice among lions,
this gentleman says, to hunt in COM
pany. A friend of mine in South
Africa had a peculiar example of this.
His friend " had wounded a bull
buffalo, which had retreated within
the forest. The two hunters carefully
followed the blood-track, but after a
short advance were startled by a sue
cession of loud roars, which betokened
lions close at hand.
There could be little doubt that the
Therefore, with proper precaution,
they approached the spot until an ex-
citing scene presented itself suddenly
on the other side of large fallen
tree, which happily concealed the two
hunters.
Three lions were engaged in a life
and-death combat with the gallant old
bull, who made a desperate defence,
first knocking over one of his enemies,
then goring another to the ground,
and exhibiting strength which APP
peared sufficient to defeat the COM
bination.
Suddenly the buffalo fell dead. This
was the result of the original wound,
as the rifle bullet had passed through
the lungs.
The lions were not aware of this,
and began to quarrel among them
selves about their imagined victory.
One huge beast reared to half its
height and placed its fore-paws upon
the body of the PROSTATE buffalo,
while at the head and the hind-quar-
tiers an angry lion clutched the dead
body in its spreading paws, and growled
at the possessor of the center. This
formed grand picture within only a
few yards distance, but two rifle-shots
stretched two lions rolling upon the
ground, and the third bounded into
the thick covert and disappeared.

A wonderrul Signal Light.

The experiments with a powerful
search light on Mount Washington
have made some highly interesting re-
suits. The light, which is of one hun
dred thousand candle power, produces
sufficient illumination at distance
of twenty miles from the summit of
the mountain to render ordinary print
legible. A narrow beam shot upward
at an angle of forty-five degrees was
visible overhead at Portland, eighty
five miles away.
The elevation of the light above the
the surface of the earth at Portland
must have been more than eighty
miles. Yet when it was made to flash
''dot and DASH signals in the air, a
telegraph operator at Portland readily
interpreted the words thus transmitted
to him, and to prove that he saw the
signal, telegraphed the words back to
Mount Washington.
He could not see the light on the
peak, which was hidden by intervening
clouds, but only the beam of light pass
ing at height of eighty miles above
his head.
This fact seems more surprising when
we reflect upon the excessive rarity
of the atmosphere at such an
elevation, for of course the beam
of light would not be visible If it
did not illuminate the air through
which it passes just as a ray of sun
light, entering through a knot-hole,
makes luminous beam in the dusty
air of barn.
1t is evident at a glance that these
experiments have most important
bearing upon the art and pra,tice of
signalling at distance. Signal beams
of light thrown high and far in the air
may yet prove of immense use for mill
tary and other purposes on land, and
in the guidance of vessels surrounded
by perils at sea.
