While two residents of GalcnG were
driving through Southern Wisconsin

fierce fight between II hsid-headed
eagle and large tomcnt. "lhe proud
bird Of the mountains had uttnck ed
the cat while hunting in the field, and
succeeded in fastening its talons int
the animals back, when the battle
immediately began and WAS continued
amid the terrific yowls of the cat aud
the screams of the eagle. 1t was Il
sort of catch-N3-catch could contest,
and while il continued the feathers
and fur few thick and fast. The cat
was too heavy for the eagle TO fly with,
but 1t succeeded i'll raising it several
times in the air, II hundred feet Mt
each effort; but the attempts to get
away with its prey were futile, ns the
weight of the cat and its fierce struggle
for life invariably brought the eagle
10 the ground again, where the battle
was repeated with nearly the same re-
suit. In the final bout, which took
place on terra tirma, the eagle threw
up the sponge and flew laboriously
across the river, while the cat, much
worried, made tracks as rapidly rs
possible away from the scene of battle.

Situated in the most prominent section OF

stretch OF ground only equaled by one other
concesslonaire, the buildings OF tho little
people from the Eastern Archipelago have
for months attracted the attention and sd-
miration OF the thousands OF people who
daily travel over the white road. The pro-
moters OF the enterprise had two motives in
view when they accepted the invitation ofthc
United States Government TO exhibit Mt the
Worlds Fair the resources OF the island and
tho customs and manners OF tho people.
The first was to make vigorous effort TO
Introduce into the United States the de-
licious and unaduteraied coffee and ten
grown upon the biH estates OF tho island
The other motive was to show TO the people
OF other countries visiting the Fair the Gus
toms md manners OF the inhabitants OF the
island OF Java. No expense was spared in
