several pleasant hours in telling yarns
of adventure and funny stories, and
Staging college songs. During the even
ing it was divulged Ivy the miners that
they had seen a couple of mountain
lions about three miles down the
stream.
"The varmints saw u.s." exclaimed
one swarthy prospector, before any of
us could snatch gun, and jumped into
cave up on the cliff"
I'D give u fifty to PUNK bullet

dot. Wouldn't be lion myself il 1

Quinquajon! Felis Concolor would be
a matchless ornament to my den in
New York"
"You can have the pelt if you'll only
let me get snap shot at him with my
rapid rectilinear," rejoined Bernard
''The triumph of taking home the pelt
of dead lion sinks into insignificance
when compared with the glory of pho
tograpbing live cougar on his native
heath. Think of it, man; would be
immortal If could walk into the art
institute at home and exhibit photo of
this wild monarch of the canyon stand

waving cordial welcome with his tail!"
you'd git chawed into sausage fore

box" remarked the other miner, poking
his nearest companion in the ribs with
his elbow.
"Well. I'll risk it," retorted Bernard.
"Big game is worth big risk"
"You'll do nothing of the kind"
snapped viardot. "rll see to it that you
stay with me, gun in hand, at re-
spectful distance, when we go to look
up those sly cats"
subject was dropped by the party after
the college boys had asked for and re-
ceived minute description of the place
where the lions had been seen.
Bernard said nothing more that night
about lions or snap shots, but he
turned in for snooze with mental res
ervation.
IL was TWO hours a1ter sunrise the 1Oi-
lowing morning when Viardot, tired by
a long tramp the preceding day, awoke
from his sound slumber. He rubbed his
eyes, and, without turning over, ex-
claimed:
II say, old boy"
There was no response, and when vi
ardot shifted his position SO as to COM
mand view of his surroundings, no
one was in sight.
"Now, where in the deuce do you
suppose that fellow So" he calculated,
addressing some imaginary parsonage.
Then he arose and took an inventory of
the tent. Demands hat and rifle were
gone.

Viardot.
Then sudden idea struck him. 1.-THE

There is ample evidence to prove that
ac rational heating of buildings was n
MISUNDERSTOOD art several thousand
years ago. In the palmy days of POM
peii's early existence, before its burial
under volcanic ashes, the old Roman
baths were heated by steam, and in a
better and far more scientific manner
than is followed at the present Time
The walls of the buildings were double,
and the steam, at atmospheric pressure,
no doubt, was carried up through these
walls, NIL around the rooms t. BE-
warmed, bringing them to tempera-
ture approximating that of the steam
and the occupants of the rooms were
thus exposed to a radiation of warmth
from all directions. In this we have
the true theory of heating. Follow.
ing, in measure, this early system,
some one in Germany, according TO re-
cent account, proposes to build a house
of which the framework is to be made
up of water tubing, through which
warm water is to be circulated in win
ter, and cold water in summer, warming
and cooling the inclosed spaces as may
be prompted by requirements. All the
floors and ceilings and walls are to be
crossed and recrossed by water pipes,
affording heating and cooling surface
exactly where theory tells US it should
be to give the most desirable results.
The building of that house would Ger.
tainly afford an excellent, modern, prsc-
teal demonstration OF the value OF these
IDEAL principles. csssisy'e Aagsxise,

Live In an Inaccessible Mountain Between
the Black Sea ana the Caspian.
The dirtiest people in the world have
recently been discovered by an explorer
in the Caucasus. They live in an in
accessible mountain range between the
Black sea and the Caspian, their vii

no government has yet been able to
reach them. AS they were 1850 years
ago, 50 they are to this day.

miserable stone novels without any at
Tempt at form or adornment Within
the houses are inconceivably filthy
They are filled with rags, vermin and
1irt of every description. They pos
sess no fireplace nor chimney. All the
cooking, in fact, is done over hole
scooped out in the middle of the floor.
In these houses men and women and
children are huddled together; during
the long winter months they are shut
for days at time, the cattle often shar-
ing their quarters. Every aperature
aas to be closed on account of the cold.
This long Imprisonment is, perhaps, the
cause of the degradation of the people.
Horrible diseases result from it, which
are aggravated by an abnormal con-
sumption of arrack, the strong dis
;illed drink of the Asiatics.
Besides being the dirtiest, they are
probably the LATEST people on earth.
It is an invariable rule to make four
days week holidays, with saints days
as extras. Since they have adopted the
holidays of every other country with
which they have come in contact, it
Is not surprising that the men find
little time for work.
Farming, bee culture and cattle
breeding are the only industries of these
lazy people; throughout their terri
tory there is not a single manufactured
article. Their children marry while
very young, they attend no school, and
lastly they have no money.-Hartforf

arched his back, and with cat-lilze hiss,
quickly turned and skunk away behind
a great bowlder. Viardot was SO excited
that he forgot he had rifle, aud it
was not until the beast had disappeared
that he hethought himself of his trusty
gun.
"You IDIOT" he yelled at Bernard; 81
believe you would crawl right into that
den. That cat was ready to spring
down on you"
Bernard stood and stared at him, but
failed to make any apologies for his
rashness.
swish I'd caught focus on him." he
said ruefully, when the two had sid
and scrambled back to level ground.
Viardot saw that it was useless to
demonstrate with him; so he agreed to
go with him next morning and en-
deavor to first photograph and then
shoot the lion or lions from the opposite
cliff. This was favorable point for
such an operation, and was compare
lively safe.
The next morning they started at
daylight, but although they watched for
hours they failed to catch glimpse of
the wild beasts. The third morning they
again made the trip in vain, and the
fourth, and fifth. Not sign of the game
did they see.
viardot wanted to give up the chase,
but the Photographic instinct was too
strong in his companion.
"I'll get 'em if don't do anything else
this summer" he said doggedly; and
Viardot succumbed to fate.
The sixth morning they reached their
lofty perch on time and waited, with
eyes glued on the entrance of the den
across the chasm.
Bernard arranged his camera, care
fully screwed up the exact focus on the
cavern's mouth, and sat down with
the bulb of the instantaneous shutter
in his palm, ready to squeeze it at an
instant's notice.
Viardot took his station ten feet
away, resting his rife barrel on ledge
of granite in front of him, and training
the muzzle on the den. As it would not
do to make an audible signal, he tied
a long cord to Demands ankle and,
drawing it taut, held the other end in
his hand.
A half hour later Demands heart ale
most jumped out of his mouth when
he saw tawny head poked out of the
cave. At the same instant he felt q
sharp tug on the cord, assuring him
that Viardot had made the same discov.
cry.
Both men held their breath. War
dots finger was on the trigger-guard.
His rifle was cooked and his eye
glanced along the steel barrel. Ber-
nard's eyes flashed fire. 1t was a mo-
ment of intense excitement--an expert
ence seldom met in lifetime.

lions! He's gone to photograph those
beasts!" he fairly yelled.
His anxiety for the safety of his COM
panion was so great that he forgot his
breakfast, and, snatching his rifle and
revolver belt, started on a run down
the canyon.
After a rapid chase of three miles, he
approached the cliff designated by the
prospectors. At length he spied an
opening in the rocks which answered
the description of the lions den. Still
no sound and no sign Of his COM
panion.
Across a deep chasm from the mouth
OF the den was another point of rock,
steep, but still accessible to the climber.
Viardot decided to climb this point of
rock, feeling assured that Bernard was
somewhere near.
He had almost reached the top, when
suddenly slight movement in the
bushes on the opposite cliff caught his
eye. Behind them crouched a long
1.-the, tawny animal, slowly and with
cat-like action swaying its long furry
tail. The animal was evidently prepar-
ing to spring upon some creature.
what if it should be Berrard?"
The question flashed across viardot's
mind, and completely took away his
breath. He had half expected some
such denouement as this, yet he was not
prepared for the reality.
Almost at the same instant he caught
sight of familiar figure crawling la
boriously up the cliff side. 1t was Ber-
nard, all unconscious of the presence of
the fierce brute crouching above him
awaiting his advance little nearer be-
fore making the fatal spring. Then it
was that viardot emitted that blood
curdling scream,
