An Encounter with n Leopard.

A thrilling story of an encounter
with leopard comes from Serajgunge,
in India. Two young English gentle
men belonging to the locality went out
to hunt a leopard that had been max
ing its presence unpleasantly felt in
the neighboring villages. Neither was
accustomed to hunting or to the use of
firearms, but both were full of pluck
and eager to show their prowess. They
took up their station on patch of
cleared ground, awaiting the leopard
that the beaters were chasing from his
lair, when suddenly the brute leaped on
one of them and caught him by the
thigh, infiicting terrible injuries. His
companion, seeing his danger, tried to
fire at the brute. but, unfortunately,
the safety-pin, with the use of which
he was unacquainted. had locked the
gun so that the trigger would not
move. He tried to beat the leopard off
from his companion, but the enraged
beast turned upon him, stripping his
arm and literally crunching his hand.
Two of the beaters came up and used
their bamboos with such telling effect
that the animal turned tail and re-
turned to the jungle. The two Euro
peans were removed to Serajgunge,
and it was found that the first men
toned was in such a critical state that
he could not be moved. He died
shortly afterward. His companion was
sent to Calcutta for treatment, and it
is feared he will have to lose his arm.
Only short time previously a Euro
pean gentleman nearly lost his life IN
the same place from an unexpected at.

fire. One dropped dead and the other
drew his gun. Another shot settled
the second robber, but not before the
passenger had been hit on the head
by a bullet, which fortunately
glanced without doing much harm.
In forty minutes the brave fellow
was back to the watering station, and
half an hour afterward the two ban
dts were under the sod and the train
speeding on its way with bag and box
somewhat mutilated, but their con-
tents intact. Il thought they'd know
just enough to wait for me-" was all
the brave passenger said.

GOT THEM BOTH.

A Little of This Would Discourage Train
Robbers Further East.
The story comes of the nerve of a
Westerner, who was concerned in a
recent holdup, which took place in
Montana. A local railroad train was
stopped by two bandits. who secured
a mail bag and a box containing a
considerable sum of money. The crew
was inundated and did not dare
say their souls were their own. The
train proceeded to a watering station
a mile away and here passenger
prevailed upon the engineer to give
him rife and wait while he went
back to the scene of the robbery. He
surprised the bandits as they were
rifling the bag and box and opened

half-inch stitches of black thread,

dit had mask fashioned out of a
gory.colored piece of flannel, the close
position of the apertures for eyes,
nose and mouth indicating the size
and age Of its wearer. They had bill
lies fashioned from hoehandles, with
strips of lead at the bottom, nails for
shields for the hands and shoestring
cords.
Finally the organization was dis
covered, and the parents of the
rangers" put them through a post
graduate course of spanking, and they
have now gone out of the bandit
business.

had dug shallow trench outlining
cellar and upon the strength of
this improvement he announced him
self the owner of the lot. The young
woman cried and made complaint to
the other settlers, but in the excite
ment no one paid any attention to
her. Biding her time she obtained
the names Of people who saw her
originally claim the lot. Sunday she
enlisted the sympathy Of about thirty
men, who listened to her story.
They marched to Jim Dunn's place
where he had already erected small
shanty and covering him with their
revolvers told him to "git." Jim
protested, but the determined crowd
told him that he would either have
to "git" or be shot, and so he got,
having been given two hours to leave
the town. Miss Blake now reigns
triumphantly on her claim.

Those who suffer from headache
and feel the fatigue Of railway jour-
ney disagreeably should take with
them two leather or silk-covered
cushions-one for the small of the
back, another to rest the neck and
head. An eminent doctor once stated
that this was capital antidote to
the evils arising from the jolting of
the train, liable to cause slight con-
gestion of the head in very long jour-
neys. He furthermore advised no
reading in the train to those subject
to headaches.

A. Mr.. Justice Gray's Expense.

Attorney General Olney tells the
following story about Mr.. Justice
Gray, Of the United States Supreme
Court, says the Washington Post:
Judge Gray prefers riding to walking,
and carriage or cab to street car.
When he first held court in Boston
he asked United States marshal to
provide him with carriage to trans
port him from his hotel to the court
and back to the hotel after the days
session. The marshal was commend
ably prompt and cheerful in comply
ing with the wishes of the distin-
guished jurist From Boston Judge
Gray went to Providence to hold
court. He asked the United States
Marshal there to provide him with a
carriage to carry him back and forth.
The Marshal said he could not do SO
without paying for the vehicle out of
his own pocket.
"Why, how's that?" exclaimed the
astonished jurist.
1.-THE department would not allow
the account, and I'll have to pay it"
explained the Marshal.
But the Marshal at Boston fur

accounts would be disallowed."
"Very WE'LL" said Judge Gray. "Of
course, l don't want you to pay for
my carriage" And he paid it him.
self, and the incident closed so far
as he was concerned.
Not so with the Providence Mar
shall. He wrote to the Boston Mar
shall and asked him how he had man
aged to have his charge for carriage
for Judge Gray's use between the
hotel and the court house allowed by
the department here.
Easy enough" wrote the Boston
man in reply. "It's plain" he COLI
tinued, "that you've not been Mar

with the carriage, and my account

Towns and Villages.

1t was very early known Indeed,
according TO writer In the Scien-
tiflc American, the early settlers
could see it) that there had at ono
time been great lake on the site OF
the present salt lake and desert in
Utah. The early explorers noted the
presence OF terraces, flat topped and
often Of remarkably uniform height,
which they knew to be water-fOrmed.
There were bars, also, across the
mouths Of side streams and spits,
wave-cut cliffs at headlands, and, in
deed, all the phenomena OF lake
shores along these terraces. Not on
ly is there one terrace, but several,
which mark changes in the level OF
the lake. Every tourist to Salt Lake
City must have noticed the fiat beach
es clinying.tO the mountain sides and
have marked the fiat desert tract in
which the great salt lake is situated,
and, perhaps, have wondered what it
means They may have noticed the
small mountain peaks rising from the
great desert-like islands in the sea.
These were once islands, and now
they rise out Of the lake sediments
In which they are partly buried.
When Lake bonneville was full of
water to overlooking 1t had sur

nitude ranking it with the great
lakes. Its maximum depth was

complicated than has been indicated.
There is evidence that long before
the existence OF the overlooking lake
the site was practically dry and arid.
The water afterward rose, but not to
its rim, and then another change in
climate occurred and aridity again
set in aud the lake basin became
nearly, If not quite, dry. A second
rise occurred and this time the lake
Overtlowed to the ocean. Before.
during and since the period of high
water the great basin has been the
seat of considerable volcanic activity.
At times the lava has flowed on the
margin Of the lake, again it has en-
tered the waters, and volcanic erup.
tiOns have occurred even in the lake
itself. At present all volcanic &C.
tivity seems to have ceased, though
some OF the lava has been erupted in
very recent times. Not only has the
level of the water changed, but even
the level OF the land has suffered a
change since the water sank below
the terrace levels. Lake beaches are,
Of course, all formed in a horizontal
position, and normally they should be
at the same level in every part But
some of the terraces of Lake BOnne-
vile are disturbed by faulting and
folding, and are no longer level.
These changes may possible be asso-
ciated with the volcanic eruptions.
