he Probably Pccards Iltn MS an Abnor-
NAL Member of ui' Species.
Our custom Of ascribing human fac
ultics md modes Of thought is an invol-
untary and iavariable one when we are
dealing with the mental processes OF
other beings, says DR.. Louis Robinson
in Popular Science Monthly Even
when we speak Of the supernatural the
same habit is manifest, and human pas
sions, emotions and weaknesses are
constantly ascribed to beings presumed
to be infinitely more remote from Us in
power and knowledge than we are from
the dog. Thus we see in the not very
distant past roasted flesh and fruits
were thought by men TO be acceptable
to the gods, doubtless because they
were pleasing to the pa'ates of the wor-
shippers, who reasoned by analogy from
the known to the unknown. This should
teach us to bear in mind that there is,
affecting the dogs point OF view, al
most undoubtedly such thing as cyno-
morphism, and that he has his peculiar
and limited ideas of life and range Of
mental vision. and therefore perforce
makes his artificial surroundings square
with him. 1t has been said that u man
stands to his dog in the position of q
god. but when we consider that our
own conceptions of deity lead us to the
general idea of an enormously power
full and cmniscient man, who loves,
hates, desires, rewards and Furnishes in
human-lille fashion, it involves no strain
of imagination to conceive that from
the dogs point of view his master is an
elongated and abnormally cunning dog;
of different shape and manners certain
ly to the common run of dogs. yet
canine in his essential nature.

SPORT IN SUMATEA.
Tigers and Bufraloes Engage In Very
Tamo Eattle.

I1mc fSattie.
The following particulars of an OIL
cial ticcr aud buffalo fight that took
place at Padang Panjang, in the resi-
depdy of the west coast of Sunotra, are
given by the Batavia Nieuwsbald; The
assistant resident of the district had de-
termined upon giving this performance
TO the people, owing to the capture OF
larre tigrcss in that ncighborhood. The
tigrcss had vainly been offered TO the
geological gardens at Batavia and Ans
terdam, and by the time of the fight
had lost much of her fcrcencss- The
people of the place got together stout
bamboos to fence round the arena. a
circular piece of ground moro than
thirty feet broad, with galleries for
spectators, who were charged admission
fees
A te,v weeks before the fight the as
sistant resilient secured tiger, and the
people provided two stout buifaloes to
measure themselves in the arena with
it and the tigress. On the day Of hat
tic crowds thronSed the arena, into
which the tigress stepped at about zen
a. II. to meet buffalo. The latter
quietly held its own against the tigress
which, reduced by her long inprison-
mcnt, showed no inclination for further
attack. To stir them up both ANIMALS
were priclod now and then with bam-
boo darts The buffalo then got some
spear thruses, the wounds being freely
drcnched with extract of chillies. The
tigress was aroused by the application
of burning torches and crackers, and,
in short, every effort was made to give
the onloolscrs their moneys worth.
Despite all this neither buffalo nor
ticrcss would fSht, So that in the end
order; we're given to kill the tigrcss.
After her corpse had been removed the
second buffalo was lot into the arena,
followed by the tiger. This buffalo,
aided by it's comrade, attacked the
tiger, which soon had enough of it. and
sought safety by clarbering up the
palisading until several spear thrusts
made it let go. No amount of urging
with priclls, thrusts and Gre proved OF
any avail il arousing the champions to
battle until the prolonged torture of
the tiger was ended by killing it with
spears Both corpscs were taken to the
assistant resident, but the skins proved
worthless from being scorched and
pierced. The spectators left disap-
pointed at seeing fight which they
had paid so high to see. What would
be done with the balance of the fees
after deducting expenses was not
known. but it was hoped that the gov
ernment would spend it in relieving the
distress caused by a recent earthquake
there.
