Lion and Mouse.

In the Berlin zoo mouse was put in
the cage of lion to test whether. as
the old stories assert, there was q
natural affection between them. The
experiment was rather astonishing.
The lion saw the mouse before he was
fairly through the bars, and was after
him instantly. Away went the little
fellow, squeaking in fright When he
had gone 4 few yards the lion headed
him of. and this was repeated
until the mouse stood still. The
lion then stood over him. studying him
with interest. and presently he brought
his paw down on the mouse. but &C
gently that it was not injured in the
least. Then the lion played with the
mouse, now letting him run . few
inches and stopping him again. Sud-
denly the mouse changed his tactics,
and instead Of running when the lion
lifted his paw. spranR straight at the
big animals head. The lion, terrified,
gave = great leap backward and roared
in extreme fright, while the little
mouse made his escape. OF the two
the lion was the more frightened
