Sizes In Tiger Skins.

That the Royal Bengal tiger is no
uncomfortable beast is well-known
fact, but to even give an approximate
guess on the length of one of the
monsters skins would puzzle many
persons who really believe themselves
to be nsturslists. For the benefit of
the Republics scientific readers, as
well as the would-be Nimrods, who
wish to appear to be loaded with ami.
NAL statistics and facts of all kinds, I
will say that the length of the largest
tiger skin ever taken latter being
stretched and dried) was 13 feet 81
inches. This must not be taken as
meaning the actual length of the living
beast, for the skins expand sur
prisingly while undergoing the curing
process, q green skin of ten feet being
accounted wonder; in fact, Mr..
Inglis, the recognized tiger authority
of Great Britain and India, says that
the greatest known length of an un.
dressed skin was 10 feet ~ inches. 1t
is believed, however, that the pre-
decessors Of the present tribe of
Bengalese cats were from q fifth to q
third larger than the gigantic striped
feline that rosms the Indian jungles
of to-day, and that the old stories of
their carrying of full-grown oxen are
not exaggerations st. Louis Re-

Lavender as n Weed.

promising industry has been start
cd in South Australia in somewhat
curious way. The Central Agricultural
Bureau OF South Australia was recently
notified that weed of very pronounced
odor and aggressive growth had taken
possession of about three acres of soil
in the southern portion of the colony.
The settlers in the neighborhood of the
swamp where the plant had established
itself we're inclined to look with dis
tinct disfavor upon the "weed," which
the horses and cattle would not eat,
and which spread SO rapidly. II was
presently found, however, that the weed
WAS no other than the lavender plant,
which though of no use rs fodder,
was otherwise most profitable crop,
ns two or three tons of green stuff taken
from it will yield when distilled by 9
very simple process $500 worth of la.
vender oil. In addition it would give
1000 pounds of lavender water worth
sixteen cents per pound, after the first
distillation, and thirty-six cents per
pound after further distillntion. The
settler who was shrewd enough to make
inquiries before roofing up his un.
known crop has decided on the advice
of the Agricultural Bureau, not only to
carefully cultivate what lavender he
has, but to plant several acres more.
The soil, of light, sandy nature with
clay beneath and fairly moist, is emi.
nently suited to the growth, not only
of lavender, but of all cent-producina
plants, and many of the colonists are
proposing to devote part of their land
TO such cultivation. -Courier-J ournal.

The Wonderful EsquImaux whip.

There was contest between four
Esquimaux in the village at the Fair,
writes Chicago correspondent of the
New York World. The prize was a
contest for a five cent piece, which
some American willing to encourage
sport had buried in the soil 30 that only
a fragment Of its glittering rim was
visible. The men stood eight feet apart,
with whips forty feet long. Such q
whip would have been terror in the
hands of an Esquimaux IL il had had a
real handle but of the forty feet thirty
nine feet and half were lash. The
handle was stout piece of white wood
six inches long, to which the lash of
rawhide was fastened Such whips are
used by the Esquimaux upon the teams
of dogs which drag them over the snow.
The contest this afternoon demonstra-
ted the fact that IL must be very un-
comfortable to be an Esquimaux dog
within forty feet of the driver. It
would be no trouble at all for the
Esquimaux TO remove an ear or a pound
OF flesh, full weight, from any dog in
the team.
The most expert whip among the
Esquimaux was little man, not much
more than four feet high with slanting
eyes, and a spiky, black beard, that
made him look very japanese. A move
ment of his wrist sent the forty feet Of
lash curving back in q straight line like
a long snake. Another movement and
it came forward, noiselessly shooting
through the air just above the surface
of the ground until, with loud report,
the tip end of the lash struck the pre-.
else spot where the coin lay buried,
Dug it from the ground, and brought
1T spinning back to the Esquimaux
artist Such precision and such force
are certainly unknown to any other
whips in the world.
Cowboys with their Wanted cracking
of bull whips are small children com.
pared to these wonderful Esquimaux.
A man standing half way between the
contestants could certainly have been
hacked to death with the ends of their
lashes, in very few minutes. The
force with which the tip of the lash
struck the ground was so great that the
particles of dirt which flew about in.
ficted painful wounds upon the faces

Willy Does Deaf Mute get Drunk
John O'Brien, deaf mute, was tried
Tuesday in the New York General Ses-
sions before Judge Fitzgerald for as
sault in the first degree, in pointing a
loaded revolver at Harold G. Brown on
the afternoon of March l at Eighth av-
enue and 125th street. Brown testified
that he was walking on Eighth avenue
with his young wife when O'Brien, who
was drunk, ran into him. O'Brien fell
upon the sidewalk. Lifting himself
partly up, he drew revolver. There
upon Mrs. Brown screamed and faint
ed. Brown forgot all about the pistol,
and turned to catch his wife as she was
falling. O'Bricn ran off, but was cap
tured by Policeman Won Gerichten.

in his hip pocket fell partly out. He
really could not say what he carried

Professor Gray's Tclautograph.

An exhibition was given of the prac-
tical working of Professor Gray's telau-
tograph, or long distance writing ma
chine, Wednesday afternoon in New
York. The machine did its work deft-
" and seems to have added another
marvel to the increasing list of wonder
full electrical inventions.
The structure of the telautograph is
simple. 1t consists of transmitter
and receiver, whatever is written at
one end of the circuit being reproduced
in fac-simile at the other end. Arbi-
trary signs, pictures, diagrams, figures,
tabulated statements and cipher and
shorthand writings are transmitted as
well as ordinary handwriting, and the
sender and receiver each has record
of every message and reply.
The lransmitter is an ordinary lead
pencil, near the point of which two silk
cords are fastened at right angles to
each other. These cords connect with
the instrument, follow the motions of
the pencil and regulate the current i'm
pulses which at the distant station con-
troll the receiving pen.
Experiments were made on ordinary
paper five inches wide, arranged on q
roll attached to the machine. At the
left is lever so moved by the hand as
to shift the paper forward mechanically
at the transmitter and electrically at
the receiver. a capillary glass tube
placed at the juncture of two aluminium
arms constitutes the receiving pen,
which is supplied with ink which flows
from a reservoir through smaller rub
Der tube placed in one Of these arms.
The electrical impulses coming over
the wire move the pen of tho receiver
simultaneously with the movement of
the pencil in the hands ofthe sender. An
ink tracing is left as the pen passes
over the paper, which is always a fac
simile of the sendcr's motions.
A great future is proph' ed for the
telautograph. 1t is said it can be used
for any distance and that business men
and railroad companies will find it
much better than the telephone or tel
egraph.
A number of invited spectators wit
messed an exhibition Of Professor Gray's
telautograph in Chicago Tuesday after
noon. The tests were entirely satisfac-
tory, many Of them being made by the
spectators. Handwriting. sketches and
stenographic characters were trans
mitted with equal fidelity.
