TANNING WILD ANIMALS.
The REASON Hot Irons Are Not Used
to Subdue Lions.

The common notion that tanners OF wild
beasts have some mysterious gift Of
nature, especially some charm OF the
eye, by which they compel submission,
is altogether mistaken. There is no
such slft found or required in those who
enter the cages, put their heads in the
beasts under their dominance.
As for putting the head in a lions
mouth, writes Cleveland MJrett, indeed,
there is "A question whether any particu-
lar danger attaches TO that, for in doing
lhls feat the tanner is careful to hold
the Hons lower lip Curled we'll down with
one hand, white with the other he grasps
tbs black nostrls and presses them hard.
The nostrils being particularly sensitive

alyEe the animals volition for the mo-
rneut.
under this treatment the animal rarely
harms the trainer wllfully; there is a
danger that the muscles, under the strain
OF their unnatural position. may become
paraly2ed aud contract automa tically.
taking with Them a bit OF the unfortu-
nate lruiuer's head,
Another popular illusion is that tanners
use hot irons to inspire their animals
with fear. \ hoi iron could scarcely fail,
sooner OF later, TO inflict serious dis.
flgurement and injury. n II missed do

for the animal would inevitably scize
the hot iron In his jaws. 1t is hts first
the prod and then take II in his mouth,
and as In his rage he cares nothing foI

dEep into his flesh rather than loosen
10 this treatment would be utterly
spoiled for exhibition, II he did not fatal

ton, the result of having taken dose

BALLOONS IN WARFARE.

Night.

Military authorities have long recog-
nized that there is yet much to be done
in the field Of signalling from balloons
by means of the electric light. Hitherto
night signalling has been carried on at a
great disadvantage from the fact that
the ordinary lanterns carried by the
signalling corps when on foot are often
visible at comparatively short dis
lance. and even more frequently render
ed OF no avail by the Intervention OF va
