A Brave Young Teacher.

In a town in the Rockies, a short
while ago, a young girl, who taught in
the little schoolhouse of the place, per-
formed an act of heroism worthy of
the highest commentator. One of her
scholars had a pet antelope, a sweet,
docile little creature, thai followed its
mistress to the school, remaining quiet
near the door during class hours.
One day it lay as usual near the door.
laZily baSking in the sunlight, while
the children pored their studies.
Suddenly there came a light thud and
a scream. There, with his fore feet
crushing the little creature, crouched
a big mountain lion, savagely switch
ing his tail from side to side and cycling
the children. The little tots, scream
ing wildly, ran to the Iarthest corner,
budding there in a heap. The teach
or, though pale with fear, did not for
a moment lose her nerve, but searched
the room for some means of rescuing
her little scholars. Hanging on the
wall near the door was 4 shotgun. and
she determined to obtain it, although
to do so she had to pass the lion. Sum-
moning all her courage, she advanced
down the room, facing the savage
beast, who stopped tearing at the an
telope and growled ominously. Moth
ing deferred in her purpose, however,
she passed by him and took the gun
from the pegs. The lion turned his head
n curiouSly watched her as she re-
treated up the room again. The gun
being empty, it was necessary to re-
turn to her desk to procure some shells
and load it. Savage from its taste of
blood, the lion left the antelope and
prepared to spring upon the group Of
children. He made one leap ever the
benches, which landed him in front of
the teachers desk, and his eyes catch
ing sight of her, he changed his pur-
pose, and, swinging around, was about
TO spring upon her. Noticing this, the
teacher, who had been watching for a
good opportunity to shoot, instead Of
waiting for him to make the lean.
walked quickly up to him and before
the astonished brute could recover she
placed the muZZle of the gun in his
ear and pulled both triggers. The re-
coil knocked her over and she fell to
the floor senseless. The gun did it's
work, however, for the lions head was
almost blown to pieces and the brute
lay a quivering heap upon the floor.
The children ran screaming down the
road and men fastened to the school
house, to find the brave girl recov-
cred, but wildly trembling. After
learning the circumstances they seized
a chair, and. seating the girl in it, car
Tied her, with the dead lion. through
the town, cheering and praising her
brave act.

The 4. $. Patent Office.

Some curious facts were made public
last week upon the presentation of
Commissioner Of Patents Seymour's re-
port to Congress. The report shows
that the Patent Office has TO its credit
in the L. s. Treasury, S4.529.S SIS. 30, a
gain of Sl13,357.96 since last report.
During the year 1895, 22.051 patents
were issued, of which 1872 came to Iowa
inventors: being n patent to every
4,S77 populations; 151 being issued to
Nebraska inventors. being one to every
7,O12: while Colorado received 20, be-
ing one to every 1917.
There are twenty-five American in
ventors each of whom have received
more than 100 United States Patents
Thomas A. Edison having issued to
him I'll L. S. Patents; Elihu Thomp-
son, the electrician. receiving 1914 pat
ents; Francis II. Richards, a famous
mechanical expert. residing at Hart
ford. Conn. who has received 345: Ed
ward Weston, an electrical engineer,
received 274: while Maxim, the gun ex-
pert, has been granted l31 patents for
improvements in fire arms alone.
The Commissioners report further
shows tina: there are pending at the
present time in the patent Office 100
patent applications which have been
in the Office more tina ten years and
five applications which have been pend
ing for fifteen wears. The new rules
adopted, however, will compel all of
these patents to issue within the com
ing year.
Amongst the most valuable patents
which were issued last week were two
granted to the famous Harvey. of
HarveviZed armor plate fame, the in
ventions relating to improvements in
car wheels, the treads of the Harvey
wheel being glass hardened and so last
longer than the ordinary tempered car
wheels. Albert Bierstadd received
three patents for an improvement in
cars which ~outwardly appear like an
ordinary freight car, but which when
unfolded form a car cottage having
three DOR below the full length of
the car together with an attic formed
by the slanting roof. These cars are
arranged so that two of them can be
used connected side by side and when
fully spread out and open form a good
sized hall. the structure being especial
ly intended for the use of small travel
ing shows who can thus carry their
theater with them. A st. Louis inven-
tor receives a patent for a soft tread
horse shoe which has Il groove or chan
mel adapted to receive a packing or
elastic material which can be readily
removed and replaced. E. A. Trussell.
OF Omaha. received u patent for u toy
match pistol, which is now being plac-
ed on the market.

Deer Far at Sea.

According to a Forest and Stream
correspondent Ben Lewis and Joe Side
Tinker, eodfshers of Tiverton, r. l.,
found a large buck a mile and a half
form Sachuset Point, R. l., bound for
Navesink Highlands, and going at least
five miles an hour. They stunned him
with a paddle after a hard chase, and
then took him to Providence, where
they sold him.
A number of like instances have been
reported in the last fifteen years-six
or eight, perhaps-where deer, like this
one, were voyaging apparently from
one pasturage to another.
Bears, also, have been found swim
ming miles from land, in both fresh and
salt water. 1t was the travellers in
stinct that was working in them.

Hunting Wild Horses.

It is said that the wild horses and
buffaloes have become so numerous in
Queensland, Australia, that measures
have been taken to keep them down by
shooting. 1t would be interesting sport
for 4 rifieman to hunt them, especially
the horses, for, if the wild stallion is
like other animals. he would put up a
fight for life if slightly wounded which
would give q zest TO the sport such as
is to be had. hunting the elephant, the
tiger, the bull moose or the grizzly. 1t
might be nearly equal to the nan hunt

A female patient presented herself
at d French hospital for a rebellious
hiccough, which had resisted all treat-
ment for four days. She was asked to
show her tongue. and it was noticed
that with the putting u Of the tongue
the hiccough ceased. The same thing
has been since tried, and with success
in other cases. All that is necessary
apparently. is TO strongly push the
tongue out of the mouth and hold it so
for a minute or two.

Ants Heads In Surgery.

one OF the most curious uses 10 which
insects are put was related at a recent
meeting III the Linnaean Society OF
London. It was stated that the Greek
barber-surgeons of the Levant employ
ed a large species of ant for the pur-
pose OF holding together the edges of
an incised wound. The ant held with
4 pair OF forceps, opens its manGibles
wide, and is brought near to the cut
being treated. so that it can sieZe the
two edges. which are held together for
the purpose. As soon as the unfortun-
ate ant has obtained a firm grip OF the
cut, its head is severed from its body.
Mr.. Issigois of SMYRNA who described
the operation to the Linnaean Society,
said that he had seen natives with six
or seven ants heads hold together
wounds in the curse of healing. A
similar observation was made some
years ago in Brazil, which fact is in
ieresting from an chronological point of
view. as showing the independent eN-
i~stence of the same custom in coun-
tries SO far apart as Brazil and Asia
