A For tune in a Can.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-The
tearing down of several old houses
IN Morton street just above Kearney,
has brought fortune to a laborer
named John Johnson, who was EN-.
ployed in demolishIng the buildings.
The property belongs to Levi
Strauss, and when the contractor
took the contract to clear the lot so
as to make room for brick addition
to a clothing store adjoining, the
frame structures were sold to a res
taurant man named Wilson. In the
back yard among the rubbish was a
giant powder-can which nearly every
one had considered empty, or filled
with worthless stuff, as it had been
knocked around there for years, but
Johnson Is an old miner, and locked
with more reverence upon the con-
tents of the despised can. After
making an investigation, he asked
Wilson to give him $25 for the eau
and it's contents, saying the metal
might be worth something. The
offer was promptly refused, as John
son had expected. So Johnson car
ried the material over to the mint
and received $4,000 for the gold dust.
That was what the can was filed
with.

Hunting Lions.

Referring to lion shooting, Mr..
Inverarity, member of the Bonn
bay bar, says it is a very fascinating
pursuit if conducted in the proper
manner, which is to track the
animal to where he is lying. AT the
end of the track, which may last for
several hours, the eyes suddenly fall
on lion sitting in the dense gloom
Of a bush a few feet off, or some
times it leads into a thicket of
thorns that cannot be penetrated,
when the best plan is to set fire to it
and stand ait the other end.
Mr.. Inverarity says he only once
found one sitting in the open-a
Honess with a well grown cub.
They were sitting on the open sand
under a small thorn tree. So well
does their color harmonic with
their surroundings that he tracked
to within four yards Of them with
out seeing them, and would not have
seen them then if they had not got
up. On another occasion his men
pointed to a lioness he was tracking
crouching in the grass a few yards
off, but, although he looked, he
could not see her till she moved her
ears.-London Times.
