MOUNTAIN LIONS AaE WARY.

CaIifornin's King of Doasts Is seldom
Captured by Hunters.
The sci%!ing of an order TO Loa
Angeles for two live specimens of Cali
tornia or mountain lions by the
municipal park commission Of Paris,
France, has aroused among the people
in this region n new interest in these
specimens of the fauna of the coast
range of the Pacific coast. The Partisan
authorities say that for long time they
have wanted several of the California
lions in their menageric, and have so
far been unsuccessful in their efforts 10
get them.
The beast known upond down the Pa
cific coast and west of the Rocky noun
taihs as the California lion il known
II. South America and the West Indies
ms the puma or cougar. 1t is closely
allied to the yellow catamount or
panther family. The California or
,nountain lion is simply an immense cat.
1t combines the cunning agility of the
atwith the ferocity of the tiger and the
strength of the Asintic lion. No Amer
lean wild feline cxcels it in size About
90 of the brutcs are killed in southern
California each year, but there ARE
scores of men who have spent consider
able time In the mountains and who
have never seen mountain lion. There
are said TO be more of the beasts in the
mountains between California and
Lower California than any locality in
this region.
The mountain lion whelp makes an
attractive pet until he gets so large ns
to be formidable in strength That
point reached. while still amiable to-
ward his master. he becomes unsafe for
strangers to approach, and his fierce
Predatory instincts are invariably dis.
played toward animals which are his
natural prey. Until these instincts be-
come manifest which usually occur
when the whclp is about Il year old, he
is as playful and gentle rs kitten.
md his soft, violet eyes give no warming
OF latent danger. The cubs are born
with faint markings of bars and spots,
which disappear soon.after their eyes
are open.
The most important characteristics
of the California lion resembles those
OF the feline. 1t sleeps by day in Sc
Siut'ou SPoiS III tne mountain canyons
and caves and prowls at night for food.
There is scarcely n case on record of n
lion seeking food abroad in the dav.
time. 1t has the slow, crouching nnT
! hoiseless movements of the cat. and in
variably steals upon its victims. 1t has
never been known to attack n man or

TUBERCULOSIS IN COWS.
Most Prevalent In the Diaries which Sup
ply Large Cities.

Most Prevalent In tho Diaries Which Sup
ply Large Cities.
This subject is one which we have
hesitated to treat in these columns. for
the reason that we have not been clear
as to the actual danger from this source
which threatens the farmers as such, Or
what action, if any, their own interests
or their duties to society require Mt
their hands. The protection of the
health of the inhabitants of large towns
and cities is matter for the special care
of the municipal authorities who are
dealing with it.
We know, however, that tuberculosis
is evil more Immediately destructive
to human life than any other that .N-
lists. 1t is more terrible than smallpox.
yellow fever, cholera or war. That en-
inent journal, the San Francisco Chron-
icle, says that of the IS ,OOO, 900 people
now living in the United States more
than 5000, 600 will die of tuberculosis.
We know it to be contagious by means
of a microscopic bacillus of such tenac-
ity of life and virulence that it's deadly
effect continues after it is dried and
ground to powder; that neat cattle,
well as some other domestic animals.
are quite as subject to it as human
beings, and that infection occurs in
differently among all forms of life
which are subject to the disease.
But this, as may we'll be the case, is
the worst side of it. The disease is no.
evenly distributed. While some herds
of cows are nearly all infected, others
are entirely free from it. In general,
tuberculosis in cows is most prevalent
in climates and under conditions which
favor its ravages in the human race. 1t
is more prevalent than elsewhere in tie
Gairies which supply large cities with
milk. OF the 5000, 900 of our fellow
citizens who are to die from it, the ma
jority, probably, are helpless children
who will imbibe the deadly microbe
with their milk.
There are some who believe that if
we can stamp out tuberculosis from our
| domestic animals we can eradicate the
disease from the human race. There
are none who doubt that the control Of
| the disease in the lower animals could
enormously decrease human mortality
| and lengthen the average of human
| life To accomplish this the only metz
cd is to destroy every infected animal.
The inhabitants of cities, as is natural.
are moving first and most actively.
/ What is to be done in the country AMI
among farmers does not yet appear. 1t
| is not known to what extent the disease
| is prevalent among farm cattle in Hi
| ferent localities. Apparently the first
| step must be a thorough official invest
| cation of farm cattle, that we may know
what we have to deal with. Farmers
i certainly do not wish to kill themselves
| and their families, and if there is any
serious danger of this from infected
| animals they ought to know it.-Col-
