WHERE BIG GAME is PLENTY.
How Hunter Found Himself Face to
Face with Two Big Lions.

In Lion Hunting in Somaliland,"
Capt. c. j. Melliss tells how he first
found himself face to face with two
full-grown lions. He started from Ber-
bera for the Hand with ten camels,
dozen Somalis, two donkeys, a pony
and two months provisions.
The game on the route were gazelle,
antelopes, guinea fowl and bustards,
and at night jackals and hyenas.
Shortly after reaching the Hand, which
IS great waterless plateau, he met the
two lions, actually waiting for me. p"
he writes, ''all to myself; vast plain
on all sides, clear Of jungle as a lawn,
not another bush even in sight
81 was going to get them, or they
get me. That was the only uncertainty
in the whole thing"
He goes on to say that what struck
him most forcibly on seeing wild lion
for the first time was that there was
none OF that slim, weak appearance in
the hind quarters which is SO visible in
Gagged lions
Capt Melliss used much heavier
charge than Mr.. Sclaus, and seems to
have had little difficulty in disabling a
lion with 4 well-aimed shot When he
had killed them. the lions were skinned
and the hides tied behind two horse
men.
He describes wildly his delight after
his first days shooting. Il shall never
forget the pleasure of it." he SAYS.
What paradise the country seemed
as my eyes wandered from the two
great heads at the crnppers to the wild
herds catered over the plain
In fopr days he shot no less than five
ions and eight lionesses and captured
four cubs.

experienced. was 10 track the lion s

THE LARGEST LENS.
The Splendid Achievement OF an Amer
lean Manufacturer.

The Splendid Achievement OF an Amer
lean Manufacturer.
The Clarks have accomplished what
has long been regarded rs an impossi-
bic thing, and one which no European
manufacturer Of lenses could be induced
to attempt. This Is the making Of a per.
feet lens Of more than three feet across
the face. No one but this American
manufacturer ever thought of exceed
Ing the twenty-six-inch lenses which
are In use at several observatories on
both continents, one at the naval OBJ
servatory at Washington, through
which Mr.. Hall discovered the long
sought satellites Of Mars and many
double stars. The highest power was
supposed to be reached when the Lick
telescope in California was put up with
a thirty-six-inch lens. The difficulties TO
be met In the production Of a perfectly
clear lens of great size are so many that
the European observers who have
wanted anything above the twenty-six-
inch lens have had TO take the reflect
ing telescope, which has a concave mir
ror. 1t requires, OF course, n much
larger rejecting telescope TO get the
same amount Of light and the Same
magnitude Of object
The making of this forty-one and a
half-inoh lens, says the New York Com
fnercial Advertiser, Is regarded as the
crowning work Of Mr.. Alvan Clarlss
