A Big and Rapid Star.

DIR. Elkin, formerly of the Cape OF
Good Hope, South Africa, but nov
astronomer OF Yale University, has been
engaged in a long aud patient series of
observations on the parallel of the mighty
star Arcturus. He has reached the Goa
clusion that Arcturus is moving with the
almost inconceivable velocity of 3St
miles a second, equivalent to the distance
between New York aud Chicago in less
than three seconds. The earth, in its
journey around the sun, makes the fairly
good time of 1900, 900 miles day, in
round figures, but the gigantic Arcturus
travels tweuty-one times faster than the
earth. 1t would seem that, since Arc
turus is thousands Of times larger than
our sun, the old adage about large
bodies moving slowly is net without ex-
captions. The time OF Arc5urus is the
fastest so far as we know, of any of the
celestial bodies. The nearest appro ich
to it was made by tae comet of 1873,
which whirled around the sun In perihe-
lion, at the rate of /, $50, 00) miles an
hour. Arcturus, in his regular all-year
gait, beats the reeorI-his time per
hour being 1,371,6o) miles. D3tron

BATTLE BETWEEN TWO LIoNa


Thrilling Experience Of q Traveller In an
Indian jungle.
It was the good fortune Of Maccs
10Y and myself to witness conflict
letween two lions. says traveller in
India. We were accompanied in this
Instance by my native servant, Isilla,

icafolding in the branches of tall

requented BY the animals Of that Vi
Unity.
was beginning to feel sleepy and
. ID frequently when the roar of a
Ion elese at hand broke the silence.
Instantly we were wide awake and
grasping our guns neryously. In an
,ther instant the roar was answered
from a spot below us, ard looking
town we saw a lioness erouching at
The foot of a tree. Her head was
embedd between her forepaws, and
Il II long tail waved luxuriously TO and
fro Another "woef' from the oppo-
te dir ctipn. and two magnificent
males stepped INTO view while the
iionrss continaed to purr and wave
shat graceful tail from side to side.
And there she lay purring gently
while as terrific combat ensued as
the eye of man ever witnessed and
words cannot paint the picture nor
describe that combat. Over and
yer the two males rolled after meet
ing in m.d-ieap with their iangs at
zach others threats, while the sick
ching sound of chanping bones filed
The air, mingled with their frantic
roaring and the thrashing Of their
bodies threu N tn whiTling sand.
BY this time my nerves were 50
wrought 10 that | could stand the
terrific spectacle no longer, and TAX
ing DELHI rate aim at the lioness be-
hind her shoulder blade, l let fly.
Above the rumble of my smooth bore
sounded the Shrek of the lioness as
the heavy bali crashed into her vitals.
The two duelists at once ceased their
encounter. and as one of them turned
he received Macs life ball in the hall
low over the eye, and death was in
Simultaneous. The other male with q
mighty rear and powerful spring
landed halfway up the trunk Of our
tree, nearly shaking us from our
perch; but Isilla discharged spare
gun in his face; he fell back, and,
probably only grazed by the shot, dis.
appeared into the darkness toward
where the means and cries Of the
lioness grew fainter and fainter every
moment.
In the morning with party of
Arabs and dogs we took up the spoor
and tracked the lioness to her lair,
and after she had received eleven
more of our bullets, killed and dis
abled four of our dogs and made five
determined rushes, succeeded in max
ing her bite the dust She had trav-
rled nine miles before we caught up
to her, and kept a brave front to tho
last.

WEALTH IN ORCHIDS,
The importat on of These ArIstocrats OF
the Flower World.


Very few realize the amount OF
money invested in the Orchids the
aristocrats of the floWery world, and
though they have been attracting
widespread interest for the past
dozen years. the general public may
not be acquainted with the fact that
millions OF dollars are involved in the
magnificent collections of these plants.
Cargoes of bulbs and roots from all
parts of the world are annually inns
ported, which arc readily disposed to
the fi0wer-lovlng public for sums
ranging from 81 up to the thousands.
One rare bulb from the forests of
Mexico, Brazil or India will fire.
quently sell for the price of a grand
diamond ring, and occasionally a small
fortune is represented by half dozen
po0r-loOking bulbs that street boy
would kick aside with his foot il
found in his way. The great flori-
culturists of this country and Europe
employ orchid hunters to explore the
woods and junglcs of every known
country for some rare specimen OF
these plants, and thousands of dollars
go annually to pay the expenses OF
these trips into unknown lands.
Danger, death and sickness Of every
conceivable kind threaten the hunters,
but despite these they penetrate to
/ the most dangerous wilds to find theif
plants.
The species of orchids now number
between 5000 and 1000, about half
of which have been brought into cul-
tivation, and they are recognized by
the best botanists about 33i genera,
/ The great number of these species oc.
cur in the tropics but many species
grow in cool temperature, and very
few in the frigid zones. Many exotic
species arc cultivated and they are
| among the most desirable plants for
hortiCulturistS.
Not MANY can explain what an
orchid is, for they show almost every
| conceivable variation in form and
color, and marking of the flowers, and
| the habits of the plants are almost as
| diverse, Some define them as arr
plants, but the larger portion are not;l
some defne them as parasitic plants,
but very few specimens are parasites,
Others know them by their bulb-like
roots, and yet many of them do not
have such roots, while still others
suppose that they are peculiar to
tropical climates, but many are na-i
tiyes of Canada. Many species of.
orchids arc lcafless, while Others have
numerous thick and stiff leaves.
Numbers of them live on the trunks
of trees In their native tropical forests
and obtain nourishment from the air
Some live upon decaying matter
while many Others are parasites,
drawing their nourishment from live
/ plants In our Northern woods some
OF the species live upon the roots Of
/ trees.

A writer draws a comparison he.
ween Hannibal, the famos Cartha-
yinian general, and the late William
recumseh Sherman. The two men
lad the same sort of temperament,
md, II we may trust the ancient de-
lcriptions, they resembled one an
>ther in physical stature not less than
n the thorou9hness of their military
.ducation. Hannibal was the first
nan to depart from the bait tactics
which were the method Of lighting
ldGpted by Alexander. He had
methods of his own and his success,
Until the Romans had learned from
lin how to use his own weapons, was
lue 70 the same qualities which dis
inguished the military services Of
Zen. Sherman. He gained his first
nd last victories by the use of STRAIT
gy. He did the unexpected thing.
III his career was the doing Of things
hat nobody else did, and throughout
he late civil war Gen. Sherman was
he man who constantly improved
lpon military rules by methods of his
,wn. The passage Of the Alps by
hannibal was not more wonderful in
lis day than the operations which
sherman planned and executed in his
march to Chattanooga, and his gigan-
ic conception of an invasion Of Italy
las its parallel in Gen. Sherman's
Ian Of the march to the sea and the
Import of his army by levying con-
ributions upon the people through
whose homes he was passing. The
american general did not stay for
ixteen years in the country of his
nemies, as Hannibal did, and COM
vel subjugated provinces to support
lin, but he could have done it as
asily as the Carthaglnian did If the
anne occasion had existed. There
vas in Dur Sherman the s1me insight
nto the conditions OF war, the same
comprehension Of the vital point at
ssuc, the same swift reading % men,
he same power OF control, and the
anne ability TO keep his own counsel.

A theft has lust been brought home
to a man by means of an egg. Some
days ago NJ, Douet, pottery manufact-
urer, living in the Rue Goudon, Paris,
was disagrecably surprised on return
sng from the theater with his family
to find that his house had been ran
sacked, almost all the furniture de-
stroyed and sum 6,000f. in gold and
notes stolen. The next morning he
put NJ. Siadoux, Commissary of Police,
in possession of these facts, who there
upon proceeded to the spot and opened
an inquiry. In the course Of his
search he found a broken egg, from
which the white only appeared to
have been sucked He brought the
circumstance to the notice of NJ
Douet, who then remembered that a
carter named Delbars whom he had
dismissed for dirty habits, was ac-
customed to eat eggs in that way.
They arrested him along with his
brother When questioned as to how
they had spent their time on the
night of the robbery, they were en-
barrassed, and finally confessed that
they had broken into NJ. Douet's house
for motives Of revenge. = GalIgnani

Cooking Birds in the naen.

For sportsmen who are fortunate
enough to be able to spend week or
two with dog aud gun here is recipe
for cooking birds in the open. Make 4
paste of mud and water and completely
cover the bird, feathers and all, and
dig hole in the ground and make fire
in it. When 1t is burned down and
only embers remain, place the bird in
the Goals, cover aud leave until bakel.
when the paste is removed the feathers
come with it, leaving the bril- cooked
aud ready to be eaten. Tnc entrails
will be found dried in snail bad,
which eau be easily removed. This
method was taken from Travellers de-
