LION AND BURGLAR MEET.
A Savage Pet Barely Lets the In
truder Escape Alive.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphla RECORD.
Bridgeport, Conn, June H.-When
burglar entered the house of Frank c.
Callahan last night, he met, to his horror,
a young lion which was kept as pet. The
animal attacked the intruder, who in his
fright dashed through a window and es-
capped.
The family was awakened by the lions
roar. followed by a shrek of terror and
the sound of crashing glass. Then all
was st!ll Mrs. Callahan jumped out OF
bed and without stopping to dress ran INTO
the sitting room where the lion sleeps.
She found her pet, which she calls
Claud, greatly excited and gnashing his
teeth.
When the gas was lighted there was
plenty Of evidence that a burglar had Wis
tied the house.
He had got as far as the sitting room
when Claud sprang upon him. The thief
leaped through window to the ground
outside. In his fall he carried away the
sash. a rose bush balustrade, and over
turned the water hogshead. Bits of the
burglars clothing hung from the window
sash, and a large piece of his trousers was
found on the floor. which was evidently
torn from him by the lion.
The lion was a present to Mrs. Callahan
when it was no larger than a cat. She
brought it up by hand. To-day she told
her friends and neighbors about the adj
venture, and said there's nothing like a
dear, good lion to keep the burglars away. ="

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York, June 14-The following letter
from Secretary of Agriculture Morton has
been received by a business man of this
city:
washington, June Z, 1S95.-Dear Sir: 1
hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your
communication of June 6, and would be
pleased to have you explain to me the
''principles of bimetallism," about which
YOU write. 1t will be gratifying also If
Won will illustrate to me how the farmer
is to be benfited by having 80 cents worth
of silver bullion pass for dollar in the
purchase of his wheat and other farm
PRODUCTS. Tell me likewise why the farm
err should advocate monetary system
which will compel the gold miner to labor
mill he produces 100 cents worth of gold
bullion before he may have it coined into
a dollar. and at the same time will permit
The free coinage of every so cents worth
If silver bullion, which he digs, into a
dollar. Inform me at the same time, II
Won nlease. why you use the phrase '16 to
:" unless YOU desire to acknowledge your
self a gold monometallist. Is not the unit
"one." which you mention, gold, and by
vour phraseology do you not declare
against two units?
When the silver miner and bullion owner
shall have established by legislation gov
eminent grist mills, which shall convert
every 20 cents worth of farmers wheat
into a dollar of -four. it will be time
enough for the farmer to advocate laws
which shall convert every so cents worth
of silver bullion into dollar of coin.
Respectfully yours,

sNEEZES STOP PRAYERS.
Church Services Broken Up by Cruel
Practical JOkerr.
From the Philadelphia Record


Vineland, n. J., June 1T-5ervices had
Just begun in the Weseayn church last
night when one of the brothers sneezed
violently several times. Presently two or
three OF the devout sisters sneezed with
sucn energy that the rest of the assem-
blage became alarmed. In a few minutes
everybody was either sneezing or cough
ing The sneeZes came on like a rising
breaker Pastor Scull looked at his flock
in blank amazement and gave out hymn.
The choir tried to take up the tune but the
organist had to stop to sneeze. Then the
pastor himself caught the infection and
fell to coughing and spluttering. his digni-
The elders looked over the audience be-
tween paroxysms and vainly endeavored
to fathom the cause Of the untoward event.
1t was all a mystery. The service was
abandoned. for not even a prayer could be
offered
Finally IL was discovered that mischiev-
Gus persons had thrown loose packages OF
snuff through two or three of the windows,
and the fire power had blown over all the
congraga ton. The people were unable to
gain relief until every door and window
was opened TO is widest stretch. Pastor
ScuH managed then TO quiet his flock. ana
proceeded with the services. The church
officials are very much excited over the
snuff throwing, and offer a reward for the
arrest of the miscreant.

which came from the melting of the Ice
above. A rubber hose was in front of
the chest to lead off the water when 1t
reached certain height. But behind
the chest was another pipe, connected
with hydrant, to be used to wash out

of the restaurant told the colored men
he would give them Is if they would
drink all the water that remained in the
bottom Of the chest They jumped at
the proposition when they had exam
ined the chest and saw that there was
only about gallon Of water there. The
smallest of the three went for the water
/ first. He lay down on the floor and put
the end Of the hose in his mouth and
drank and drank until his eyes bulged
and he looked weak. When he could
drink no longer, he arose and looked in
to the chest. 1t did not appear that the
water had receded from the sides par
ticle. He concluded that he had not
drunk as much as he thought he had,
| and he tried it again. Each of the three
colored men tried this experiment three
times, and it did not seem that any of
the water had gone out of the chest; in
fact, as one of the colored gentlemen
exclaimed:
ode watah am certainly risin.
This was true. The proprietor's wait
er had turned on the hydrant faucet
lightly when the men began drinking.

Two west end bicycle girls were rest
ing on Forest park bench.
"Grace has just returned from her
Boston boarding school. l saw her yes
terday," casually remarked she of the
ample bloomers.
"Oh, know that. Jack told me. He
said she tried to be shocked at every
thing the fellows did, and so he made
up his mind to give her an excuse for
being so wounded. He told her one Of
his little jokes, and Miss Accordion
Skirt laughed softly at the remembrance.
"You know what awful stories Jack
can tell, right out before your friends,

Boston event, when a girl had locked
the door of her roolu-stood before it in
the hall and refused Co allow her moth

fine shape. You see, the girls canary

"When ] first went as minister to Tur-

funny thing happened me. One of the first

so that it led to one of the most embarrass-

The Old City of Damascus.

A recent work on sanitary engineering
says that Damascus possesses in all proba-
bility the oldest waterworks in the world.
The city itself is the most ancient of exist
ing cities, having seen the rise and fall OF
the Greek and Roman empires, of Babylon
Nineveh, Palmyra and Jerusalem. When
taken by the Saracens from the Romans
the waterworks already existed, and it is
probable that the latter constructed the
works which still exist and supply the
town. Damascus lies in a valley on the
river ALBANIA, which flows from the Leba
non hills and is lost in the desert to the east
Of the town. In spite of a copious supply
of excellent water, Damascus has had nc
immunity from epidemics, owing to the
fact that the double canaization for water
supply and drainage, being more or less
leaky, saturated the soil and raised the
spring level nearly to the surface, and the
sewers are rarely if ever cleaned, are not
systematically ventilated, and they pass
under many of the houses. 1t is not sur.
prising, therefore, that Damascus is and
always was an insalubrious town

From recent experiments it seems prob
able that all gases under ordinary atmos.
pheric pressure would become liquid OF
solid before reaching absolute zero. 1t is a
well known fact that after gas has been
cooled below its critical temperature it may
be reduced to the liquid state by the aid OF
external pressure. Until a few Year, ago
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, air and few
other gases had never been reduced to their
critical temperatures and hence could not
be liquefied.
Air has been compressed until it was
denser than water without any trace of Ii.
quefaction. And so these gases were called
permanent or incoercible gases. But in 1879
Cailletet of Paris and Pictet of Geneva,
working independently and by somewhat
different methods, succeeded in reaching
the critical temperature of some of these
gases and by great pressure reduced them
to the liquid form. Since then all known
gases have been liquefed and the old dis.
tinction of permanent and coercible gases
has been effaced.-Science.
