A Lion Caught by an Elephant.

An exciting and remarkable scene
occurred at Bsrnsley, where Days
Menagerie is being exhibited. Their
manager states that about four o'clock
Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left
the door of a cage containing young
lions unfastened. Bartlett was after
wards surprised to see one Of the lions
loose. Happily, none of the public
we're in the show at the time The
keeper Immediately armed himself, and
send for aid. Blank cartridges were
fired to keep the lion at bay. Luckily,
it came within the reach Of a powerful
elephant named Jumbo H., who was
fenced off by means of ropes and stakes
in one corner of the show. The ele-
phant seized the lion with his trunk
around the body, and placing his foot
upon him, held him down. The keep
ers, who had secured ropes. noosed
them, and putting them on the lion's
legs, secured and dragged him into the
cage. The other animals made great
row, and this, together with the firing
of the blank cartridge, naturally
alarmed the immediate neighborhood,
which is thickly populated. The re-
port of the lion being at large was
enough to cause q speedy exodus from
the field. Fortunately no serisls
consequences resulted, an under keeper
being the only person who was slightly
injured during the securing OF the
animal. Westminster Gazette.

Through channels known to be
trustworthy. a New York Times cor
RESPONDENT has learned that . boy
named Fred Dezener. aged thirteen
years, had been attacked by tive
golden eagles just before nightiall IN
Belmont. seven miles from Malone,
Ny. The boy was In the employ OF
Frank Winklev, q well-to-do farmer Of
unquestioned veracity, who, himself
gives the facts
A drenching rain was falling. and
Mr. Winkley sent the boy, on horse
back after the COWS As protection
from the storm the boy wore p rubber
overcoat and a rubber cap from which
q cape depended, covering almost all
his face, and falling to the shoulders
The COWS had wandered into g. maple
sugar orchard for shelter, and just be
fore reaching the trees, the boy saw
two eagles rise from the ground. As
he came to the point from which they
had risen, both birds swooped down
upon him, striking with beaks and
talons.
Dezener was knocked from the
horse, and both eagles followed him,
continuing their attack. A dog was
with the hoy. and it at once attacked
one Of the birds, while the boy, seizin8
a stick, made the best fight he could
with the other finally dealing it a
blow that stunned It.
Dezener then quickly drew off one
Of his mittens and drew it over the
eagles head, thus enabling him to hold
it. Securing its legs, the boy re-
mounted his horse and hurried to the
house with his prize. The bird had
revived long before he arrived, but was
restrained from fighting by the boys
sharp clutch around its neck.
The eagle is now alive and i'll Mr..
Winkley's possession. Its wings spread
seven feet. The other one was driven by
tbe dog into the woods and escaped.
Had the boy not been clad as he was, and
had his dog not been with him, he has
no doubt he would have been killed,
and Mr.. Winkley and others cognizant
of the facts fully share his opinion.

enormous growth of the city tho
crowds have become larger and the
number Of crowded thoroughfares has

But if New York seems large when
measured by its crowds of busy men
and women, it seems perhaps even
larger still when measured by its
idlers. This Is not because the unem-
ployed classes, rich and poor are 50
large in New York, though they arc
larger than in any other American
city, but rather because of the city's
ceaseless and sleeplessly active bust
ness life. Every day is n holiday TO
many thousands Of New Workers, be-
cause many thousands work at night
and take their sleep and recreation b.
day.
New York is the only American city
where crowds throng the parks every
day in the year and almost every hour
