Conqucring IA Tiger.

~ Iamrach, the London dealer in
Wild beasts, is man of great personal
strength and of corresponding courage.
On on" occasion he was called upon to
Use both against n tiger which had
escaped from its den" Mr.. Phil Rob
inson tells the story in his recent book,
"Some Country Sights and Sounds"
In moving n ''den," into which tiger
had been just delivered, the bottom fell
out and the rest of the structure i'm
mediately collapsed. The tiger walked
out from under the heap of planks and
iron bars, and suddenly appeared in
the yard. Many people were looking
on, the children, Of course, being well
to the front. On the appearance of the
tiger there was n stampede.
The tiger picked up fat urchin by
his clothes, and walked out of the yard
with its dinner in it's mouth, intent
upon finding convenient place in
which to take its meal. Mr.. Jamrach
ran after the beast, flung himself upon
its back, and crasping it's throat with
both hands, choked it until it opened
its mouth TO gasp for breath.
The urchin dropped out, and scram-
bled off. The tiger, drawing ut enc
tremendous draught n whole lungsful
of air. turned upon Mr.. Jamrach. Just
then n man from the yard came running
up with crowbai, and as the tiger
turned, he struck 1t re nendous
tbump on the head. For moment the
tiger was dazed, but only for n mo-
ment; then he prepared TO spring again,
but Mr.. Jamrach seized the bar and
struck the great beast another mighty
thump.
The beast, as II taking in the situa-
ton, trotted all by itself straight to the
yard, and finding the door of an empty
don open, walked i'm.

oImplosIOn."

Every one knows what an explosion
is, but its opposite. an implosion, is
less familiar At great depths in the
sea the conditions ire favorable for
its production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is, roughly speaking, two and
one-half tons to the square inch-that
is TO say, several times greater than the
pressure eXerted by the steam upon the
piston Of n powerful engine. A beau
tiful experiment to illustrate the enor-
nous force of this deep sea pressure
was made during the voyage of II. NJ.

A Soldering stick for Linemen.

Serious trouble is often caused on
electric lines by defective joints, and n
means of accomplishing more and bet
ter work than the lineman is usually
able TO do is now provided in sol
dering stick" which, when rubbed on
n heated joint, melts. spreads out and
produces bright surface, to which
solder adheres with great readiness.
The primitive method OF using solder
ing salts and acids is inconvenient and
wasteful; the bottle is often dropped
or broken, the solution is stopped over
the joint. and n large proportion OF it
is allowed TO escape and corrode any
thing IL touches. With the stick all
the flux adheres to the wire. and In adj
dition TO there being no waste, there Is
no dripping of the destructive acid.
The compound contains nothing that
win injure the wire or affect the in
sllation; II Is put up in the form OF n
round stick six inches long and one
inch in diameter, and has about the
consistency Of sealing wax when cold.

Aids 10 Long Life.

There are two sorts of pressure which
tend to shorten life, blood pressue with
in and atmosphere without. The lat
ter is a specially important factor in q
humid climate. In advancing age the
circulation of the blood and lymph
tends to become slow, and the enfee-
bled heart finds its embarrassments In
creased by this condition. Especially
do the more vascular organs, such as
the lungs, the liver and the kidneys, put
skids on the wheels of the blood circu-
lation. Plainly, then, an important con-
dition Of cardiac easement, and, there
fore, of life prolongation, is the main
tenance of an uncongeStcd state OF
lung, liver and kidney. Thus are in
telnal pressures relieved, and thus is
cardiac energy conserved. OF almost
equal Importance, at any rate in Great
Britain, is the question of atmospheric
pressure and moisture to aged persons.
Situations which are at once low ly-
ing and damp give, of course n maxi
mum OF atmospheric pressure. Such
pressure weighs down at Il single stroke
body, mind and life. The difference to
aged persons between living at the sea
level and living 500 feet above 1t, be-
tween living in n moist atmosphere and
living in n dry one, is sometimes meal
culable. Not seldom life may be length
ened by five or even ten years by living
in an atmosphere which is both light
and dry. These physiological considera-
lions are commended to the aged and
to the physicians of the aged.

Kite-rIying In Garmah.

The Burmese are by all accounts an
hdolent people. One traveller goes so
fai as to say that one days work and
four days rest Is their idea of industry.
The same traveller, Mr., Il. ID. Cumming,
author of 'In the Shadow of the Pa
goda," described them as much given
to Hte-fying, an amusement which
they contrive to enjoy with n mini
mum of bodily eXertion. Their method
of operations is very simple. Says
Mr.. Cumming:
You pare down two twelve-inch slips
of bamboo, tie them at their centers
crosswise, run thread round the four
TIPS, and paste upon this frame one
thickness OF paper. Tie nail or
screw-nut TO one corner, and your kite
Is made.
The altitude which well made kite
of this kind will reach Is wonderful,
and the lightest breath Of wind will
take it up. a hundred and fifty or two
hundred yards Of strong sewing thread,
wound on skeleton reel Of four inches
in diameter and eight inches in length,
completes the equipment.
Then, having startd the kite by n
process of gentle playing, You squat
down in the middle Of the street, so
as to keep your thread clear of the
houses, and let the kite help itself
If you have fastened the thread with
cunning, the kite rises aim )st pcrpen-
dicularly, bringing you joy in the envy
and admiration Of those who cannot
make a sleeper angle than forty deg.
The kite having taken out all the
thread, you sit and contemplate it
poised still and clear in the upper air
for a few hours.
In RangoOn, on a still morning or
evening, hundreds of kites float over
the Burmese quarter Of the town, some
nearly out of sight, others lowering just
above the roofs. When driving, your
syce has frequently TO halloo out Of the
way n middle-aged man who Is backing
slowly down in mid street coaXing his
kite up. He goes about the business
with a pondcrous solemnity that raises

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

A crusty old Welsh deacon was
asked for the loan of the school room
for concert He granted the request
on the condition that no comic songs
were to be sung. The concert took
place, and "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-a y" was
sung. The Welsh deacon's curiosity
was aroused by the applause. He
asked what "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay"
meant, and he was told that it was
the Greek for hallelujah. Sunday
was the church anniversary. The
preacher held forth and the deacon
began shouting "Amen, amen, diolch

vulsSd when he burst out "Ta-ra-ra
