The Mote In His Neighbor,s Eye.

A much priced cat strayed out Of the
window of Central Park West apart
ment the other day. He walked along
the cornice until he reached one of the
windows next door and looked in SOL
EMMY. The absence of the precious tab
by was soon discovered, and he was
called back quickly and reprimanded.
The next day the proprietors of the
animal were informed that the neighbor
had complained because the cat had
peered into his room. They immediate
" informed the owner of the property
that the man who had been so disturbed
by a little feline curiosity practiced On

SOUTH AFRICAN Lions.
They Are. 1t Is Said, the Boldest of All
Predatory Animals.

South African lions are, beyond ques-
ton, the boldest of all predatory ami
mails, and those of Mashonaland are per-
haps the boldest of all During the
night, their natural hunting time, they
attack draft animals, or even men,
within few yards of the campfires,
and are constant and serious danger to
travellers in districts remote from the
main tracks of traders. From the Fam
bezi, through Mashonaland, and north
to the Limpopo chorus of complaints
rises III the pages of recent travellers
whose cattle or followers have suffered
from their attacks. Mr.. Selous has re-
corded the pursuit of thepost from Sails
bury by lion, and the loss of the mail
bags, which the animal tore from the
back of the pack horse. Mr.. Millals,
who crossed the Nuanetsi river with
team of eight donkeys TO draw his waS-
on-the oxen being left behind on ac-
count Of the proximity of the fly"
country-lost three III one night by hon
attack, carried out with the utmost con-
tempt for human beings, whether white
or black. He was awakened by the lion S
roar, and almost Immediately saw one
of the tethered donkeys knocked over.
1t was not five yards from the fire, but
in the darkness and dazzle of the fire he
could not see the attacker. 1--WE knew
instinctively that lion had killed the
donkey, and was standing over him not
five yards from where we were, but 1t
was hopeless TO fire unless we SAW some
thing, or at least could make certain of
his whereabouts.
This odd scene continued for some
moments, the actors being four or five
black men, two white men, 4 pony, sew
ell live donkeys and dead one, and the
lion standing over the latter, with fire
partly lighting up the figures, until
couple more donkeys broke loose. They
rushed into a mealie field. and there the
party heard tie lion chasing first one
donkey and then another, as excited and
as little afraid rs dog chasing rabbits
i'll field of barley. AT every bound
the lion emitted Il subdued 'boo-un, as
his fore legs struck the ground, but the
two did not go far. There were presently
a loud scufile, crack and the sound Of
q heavy body falling; then all was
still " The lion chased the third donkey
round the camp, killed and ale it, and
was next day shot by an ingenious trap,
made by tying Il rifle to posts, and fas-
tening Il string to the trigger, which the
lion struck when revisiting its kill.
The unSportsmanlike method of com
passing its death is excused by Captain
AIillais on the ground of necessity. This
lion was 10 feet long from the tip OF
the nose to the tip Of the tail, was IN
perfect health and immensely formida-

A Captive Balloon.

The principal danger in captive work
is the always present possibility Of the
wire rope parting, not because OF the
obvious result that the balloon, being
set free, would at once make off at speed,
but for reasons OF 4 very simple technical
nature, albeit none the more pleasant b.
reason of their simplicity. 1t must be
understood that when Il captive balloon
has been sert up the required height, the
neck of the balloon has to be tied up so
as to prevent the wind from exerting a
pressure on the envelope and forcing
out the gas, which would result i'll the
balloon very shortly losing its lifting
power and descending. III free runs the
neck must always be wide open, for
otherwise any sudden expansion of gas
might burst the balloon. Hence if 4
captive breaks away it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since it is sud
denly released from the restraint as we'll
as the weight Of the wire rope.
Of course in such an emergency the
gas would at once commence to expand
furiously, and unless the neck of the
balloon were instantly opened and kept
open the envelope would inevitably
burst. In the shocking accident at the
Crystal palace in 1892, when poor Dale
and his comrades lost their lives, the
balloon was started with too much lift
and commenced to rise with undue ra-
pidity. Dale, the aeronaut, realizing the
danger, opened the neck and in his an1-
iety to see that it was clear looked into
it, and it is supposed that his head
checked the outrush of heated gas, with
the result that the envelope instantly
burst, with terrible sults.-Macmil-

'In order to avoid delay, brought the

She drew from her purse two big
white diamonds One was set i'll stud

tested the stones and failed to find even
the suggestion of flaw. He told the
woman to call on Monday, and she could
have the money. Before going, Mrs.
Roberts said:
Il Will seal the diamonds in this en-
velope and indorse it with your name.
Now they will not be removed from that
envelope until you receive them. [ will

The manager got his first intimation
that something was wrong when he
started TO locate the rich widow in need
Of ready money. She had told him she
was living at 1927 S street, northwest.
He found that there was no such num-
Der. At this stage of his investigation
he decided to ask the aid of the police.

discovered that Mrs. Roberts was living

He took the diamonds into rear
