of maize cakes and dried meat, for under
instructions from our guides we neither
kindled a fire nor spread our tents We
slept on the earth with the tent cloth under
US and our skin overcoats thrown over us
in lieu of blankets. A tremendous dew fell
that night, and by morning the tent cloth
was as wet as if it had been dipped in the
Indus
The pale crescent of the moon was Just
touching the western edge of the plain
when the guides shook US gently and urged
us to hurry into our saddles Before we
got our feet in the stirrups there were long
shafts of pearly light leaping up from the
woods to our rear, telling US that the day
was at hand. Half an hour later, with the
full glory of the sun silvering the SUBMITS
of the mountains, we three, Sir Joseph,
Captain Haliwell and myself, were in the
shadow of the forest.
Lying in Wait for Leopards.
And it was at this point that the incident
which led up to nv adventure began. Act
ing under the instructions of the leading
guide took my position within the forest
about 800 yards from the edge of the plain.
Sir Joseph, I noticed, was led away to the
east, while Captain Haliwell was led still
further from where was stationed. The
scheme, as explained, was to wait there till
the leopards came creeping out on their
way to the river to lie and wait for ante
lopes and other four-footed game which
passed on the way to drink.

of the forest, and despite my surroundings
soon grew deadly tired. Ny horse, bay
mare, small, but with slender legs, clean
cut head and good shoulders, was tied a
little distance away, for even our poor

upward on the southside into the foothills
of the Himalayas. Thirty miles from Lu
the road disappeared and we found our
selves following a mere bride path through
a light growth of timber which debouched
into a wide prairie-like plain sown with
long grass and bordered to the north and
east by sort of low chapparal, while to the
south the Indus wound its shining length
leav ing the entire west unbroken by tree
or shrub as far as we could see to the hcri-
IONS edge.
1 cannot imagine a more beautiful scene
than was presented to me that midsummer
morning. The wide plain sown with wild
flowers, the silver line of the Indus to the
left, and beyond il the magnificent heights
and distances of the mighty Himalayas.
Traces of Leopards and Stays.
We camped at point about mile from
the eastern edge, while the guides, who had
been Joined at Lu by three we'll mounted
halt-Tartar kasmiris from that place, went
pounding away toward a clump of timber in
the north to see if there were any traces of
leopards They were absent fully three
hours, and announced on their return that
they had found traces of both leopards and
stags, but they advised that the hunt be
postponed until daylight, in the belief that
the game would be more readily sur
prised.

pleasant one. 1t was V'erely cold snack

every few moments to toss his head and
sniff the air.
They had approached within q quarter of
mile of where sat on tine bay mare, which
trembling in every limb, had stood like a

toward the herd, when before I could
check her the mare with snort of terror
wheeled with a violence that nearly un-

a long race, or until she tired herself COM

than an eighth OF a mile away was the herd

tails streaming. For the first time recalled

Liebig taught that fat split I'D in tho
body, and that the free carbon combined
with the oxygen taken in in respiration
to produce carbonic acid, and that it was
by the act of respiratory combustion that
the body heat was maintained. Fatty
foods were hence considered necessary a.
heat producers. Recent investigations,
however, show that though fat is split up
and combined with oxygen in the produc-
tion of heat, especially during mueular ex-
ercise, the process is effected in the tissues
by the action of the cells, and not in the
lungs as formerly taught.
The use of the fat is now regarded a
threefold. 1. To maintain the body heat
In cold latitudes, where the body is subject
to rapid cooling, fatty foods become ne
cessity, so that the carbon NAV be easiIy
supplied for combination with oxygen in
consumption. Hence the Greenlander con-
sumes large quantities of blubber and oil.
2. To produce force. As muscular tissue
is only produced at the cost of oxidation in
the tissues, fat is rapidly burned off during
exercise. If absent, the tissues themselves
would be wasted. 8. To prevent the use of
albumen. A purely albuminous diet is e1-
tremely wastetul. It has been proved e1-
permentally that small amount of meat
food taken in combination with bread and
tat suffices to maintain the albuminous
structures of the body better than an ex-
clusively lean meat diet.
Fat stored in the body as adipose tissue
is bank OH which the body may draw for
supplies of energy and heat when required.
1t is stated that in the Franco-Gsrman vay
of 1870 the German Emperor, acting on tho
strongly expressed opinion of Ebstein that
muscular fatigue could best be supported on
fat, gave orders that each soldier should
have served out to him 250 grammes of fat
bacon. 1t is also well-known fact that fat
animals bear priyation of food better than
thin ones.

A SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE sLUMS
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH

Forty years ago Hawthorn traTersed the
streets of London with keen eye to the
civic grandeur of the great city. Like the
American of to-day he revelled in sights
that recalled his historic and literary asso-
Citations He felt the thrill that is known
only to Americans as he trod the streets
whose names were familiar to him in Eng
lish letters. He gloried in the imposing
palaces of West End, and then, in an evil
moment for his peace of mind, he found his
way to the unsavory East.
No words can picture q scene more abso-
lutely hopeless than is his view of human
ity in this now widely known district. or
one group of unfortunate children he e1-
claims:
If there be spark OF Gods life in their
souls. the only possible mode of keeping it
aglow is that every one of them should be
drowned tonight by their best friends.
Much sin and misery exist in East Lon
don to-day, but it is doubtful if Mr.. Haw-
thorne would take so hopeless view of
the situation now as he did when he wrote
those despairing words. The pain which
he felt on beholding the wretchedness of
those on whom the sins of the fathers had
been so heavily visited has been felt by
others, and has at last been transmitted into
an active force, and is now month by
month being more wisely directed toward
the bettering of their condition.
WhItechapel on Saturday Night
Many times as 1 rode through White
chapel and Mile End on recent Saturday
evening his words recurred, and the wish
arose that he might be cheered by simply
reading, in passing, the names of the
countless philanthropists on this one thor
oughfare, whose purpose is to brighten the
lives and strengthen the good purposes of
those who dwell round them.
The evening was clear and pleasantly
cool. Over our heads the stars were shin
Ing, but this serene light was quite insult
fcient for the vast human throng that
surged up and down, out and IN that unique
avenue, with ceaseless activity. The crowd
was so dense on either side, the faces so
weird in the Pickering torchlight by which
various statesmen sought attention to their
wares, that at times the stream OF humanity
assumed the likeness of some huge writhing

here, and they do quite a large business.
They decidedly object to this regulation as
to the investment Of part of their funds,
but they can't help themselves.
The streets are well kept. Berlin is fast
becoming a city of asphalt, and you can
drop your handkerchief almost anywhere
and pick it up without soiling it. The
city takes care of its own sewers and it has
a number of farms on its outskirts over
which these street sweepings are scattered
by the paupers of the city. The sewerage
is pumped out of the sewers onto the farms,
and through this the land has become the
most fertile in Germany. A large part of
the cleaning of the streets is done by boys,
who get something like % cents a day and
who are at work on every block gathering
up the dirt as il falls, and on a wet day
scrubbing off the streets with rubber brooms
or sort of rubber hose. The civil service
rules obtain even as to these boys and their
wages are raised after they have been work.
ing on the streets for three years.
How the Advertising Is Managed.
The buildings are kept as clean as the
streets and every man has to wash down his
house about so often, AID it is against the
law to put up bill boards or to paste posters
on the houses. When Buffalo Bill was here
he-was almost crazy because he could not
get any place to plaster up his big posters,
and the only arrangement by which posters
can be put up is in connection with round
sheet iron tubes which are on the corners
of the streets and which are about 10 feet
high and of the diameter of hogshead.
These are especially for the pastlng of bills.
They are not unsightly and on them you
find the theater advertisements and busi-
ness posters.
Within the last few months the Urania
Company have been putting up advertising
pillars all over the CITY alter plan which
iorms perhaps the best advertising scheme
in existence. These pillars are about ID
feet high and they are by no means unorna-
mental. They are as big around as Hour
barrel, but are octagonal in shape, and they
are the most valuable guide that any city can
have They are connected with the OBJ.
