WILD HOGS.
Fierce and Aggressive Animals in
Louisiana Canebrakes.
They Are Captured With the Aid
Of Trained Dogs.

In Louisiana the hunting OF wild
hogs is not as exciting as the boar
hunts of the Black forest Of Germany.
IN the latter country the sport is
attended with considerable danger to
the sportsman in Louisiana all the
hunter need do is to sit on the fence
and watch the dogs as they attend to
the business In Cataloula county
is peculiar breed Of CANNES know as
the hog dog. Their ancestors herded
and hunted wild hogs many years ago,
and 80 strongly has the instinct been
developed that the7 present strain
needs 70 training whatever. They
take as naturally to rounding up
wild hogs as spaniel to water.
The wild hog Of the Louisiana cane
brake is an animal to be Stunned by
every one not clad in steel armor. He
is as fierce as q mountain lion and ab-
solutely tireless in fight; very ag-
grsssi7e, and needs only hint to
arouse his fighting temper. Louisiana
hunters treat the wild hog with great
respect until be is securely trapped.
Then they shoot and eat him In the
thick woods OF Cataboula county are
large herds of these wild razor-back
hogs. To hunt them afoot, even when
armed with a rife, is an unpleasantly
dangerous sport. A good marksman
might easily kill one wild hog. but If
charged by drove the top Of the
nearest tree would be the safest re-
treat for him. At the same time, the
flesh Of the wild hog is very good-if
there is no wild turkey-aud so this is
the way the shrewd Louisiana planters
secure their quarry.
The trained hog dog, OF signal Of
his master, goes scurrying off in the
woods much as Q sheep dog goes after
flock OF lambs The dog beats about,
barking and yelping furiously. Wild
hogs object to the society of dogs, and
40 before long q herd Of wild hogs is
rounded up prepared to argue the
question. The dog, still barking
loudly, pretends to rush furiously at
- the hogs. He is trained to d. lat.
When few yards away he turns and
retreats. The hogs accept the chal-
lenge and give chase. On the out
skirts OF the woods large pen is
built, with one gate. If the dog is a
good one-and all hog dogs are
said by Louisiana hunters to be
good-he has no trouble IN
leading she infuriated razor-backs
directly to this corral. The dog
dashes into the corral, the wild hogs,
blind with rage and anger, following
closely behind. Once within the bars
the dog jumps over the high fence,
while the hunter, who has been sitting
patiently all the time on the fence,
jumps down, shuts the gate. and the
wild hogs are prisoners. They cannot
Jump the fence, which is the Only re-
straint that battles an agile razor
back.
Wild hogs are very dangerous when
wounded. Instances of rash hunters
being killed by herd have not been
infrequeat. The hogs have very slong
fangs, which they use as fercely as
the incisors of tiger. It is said that
wild hogs will eat human flesh with
great relish and once they have tasted
it their appetite for it is as Unsuitable
as maneating tiger.

Portrait Painting.

The modern practice OF having pcr-
traits of individuals seems to have
sprung up naturally enough with the
popularity of easel pictures, and this
again was much influenced by the in
PRODUCTION Of oil painting. Whether
Antonello of Messina really acquired
the art from the Van Eycks or from Lu-
cas- of Leyden, rs some have conjectured,
is very doubtful, but it was certainly
he who introduced the new art process
into Venice, whence it spread all over
Italy.
We have now come to the full devcl:
opmant of the art of painting that sprang
I'D toward the close of the fifteenth cen-
tury, and which was chiefly embodied
in four great men-Leonardo, Raphael,
Michael Angelo and Titan. All Of these
were great portrait painters in the true
sense of the term, with the exception Of
Michael Angelo, who seldom condo
scended to easel pictures ard who never
worked in oil.
The great advance made by the six
teenlH Century pdlHtciS ONe1 eli0 PAo-
raphaelites was i'll the much fuller
utilization of the resources Of chiaros-
euro. Up to this time the colors used
were mostly clear and light, and only
SO much shading was introduced as was
necessary to give relief to the figures.
The value of shadow i'll itself was hardly
appreciated-in fact, the whole concep-
ton of painting was to show everything
as far as possible in full light.
The great innovator in this matter
was Leonardo Being, us he was, as
much man OF science as painter, the
problems of l;glit aud shade interested
him in both capacities, and be investi-
gated them in something of tic modern
spirit. BY the aid Of the knowledge thus
acquired he succeeded III giving to his
figures roundness and relief that had
been hitherto unknown In fact, he car
ried it so far that they arc sometimes
overmodeled. Nineteenth Century.

No Love For the Yankees.

Strangers often wonder at the fever OF
excitement into which the majority Of
Canadians still work themselves at any
mention of fusion with the United
States 1t seems almost illogical that
people should be unable calmly to dis
cuss the possibility of an alliance with
neighbors who i'll everything but the
most trifling details are one with them
selves. Probably not one Canadian i'll
ten has any of the old loyalist blood in
his veins, nor for that matter has any
larger proportion of the citizens OF the
United States claim to Revolutionary
descent
But as the old antagonism to England
on the one side of the line is adopted by
the SONS and grandsons of emigrants, 50
upon the other the old United Empire
feeling still i'll great measure infu-
cnccs public opinion. There is this Curl
Gus difference, however, that while it is
among the old and genuinely American
population that the greatest fricndliress
to England will be found today, in
Canada there are, on the other hand, no
such outspoken haters i'll political
sense, of the United States as the de-
scendants Of the old loyalist settlers -

PlcTuREs BY TELEGRAPH.
a Device lavonted by an Electrical EE-
mart In Navy York

q Device 1hvcnteu Dy IN 6teCIKlcAl Tx
pert In New York.
A New York inventor has perfected
device for transmitting pictures by
means of electricity like the telegraph,
from ono point to another.
For years scientists and electricians
have devoted u great deal of their time
to trying to perfect some such method.
! The result of successful elimination
to these experiments would have mil
lions in it. The royalties obtained from
newspapers alone would make the in
ventor's fortune in the first DECADE of
its use, and its gradual adoption for
other uses would follow Thomas
O'Brien, an electrical expert of New
York, has worked out plan which
seems to him to be entirely feasible, and
ne will in the near future demonstrate
it's practicability or its reverse by trial
The scheme provides for two disks,
! carrying needlelike points, situated IN
different parts of the circuit. One OF
these disks will be at each end of the
line, and the principle upon which the
points will work and be located is anal
ogous to the interrupting points on the
receiving and sending instruments of
the telegraph. The diskswill be caused
to move spontaneously By means OF cleo
trio connections to the same circuit. The
negative, which contains the picture to
be set, is specially prepared The gela-
tin film is a nonconductor, and this
will be mounted on some substance
which is conductor.
AS every one knows who is familiar
with the rudiments of photography, the
action of the chemicals used in the de-
velopment of sensitive plate after ex-
posure either tears away entirely or re-
duces to an imperceptible thinness the
film in places wherein the positive pic
ture is heavy and shadows appear.
Where the high lights are the film is the
thickest.
Therefore, with the negative film
mounted on copper base, the electric
current would be interrupted where the
film is thick, and where by the process
of development it has been removed
the current would pass through to the
copper and become a record and pass
ing over the wire be recorded at the
! other end.
These disks will revolve at the rate Of
1000 revolutions minute by means
of mechanism impelled by electricity.
The negative will be given a lateral
morton of about six inches i'll one min
ute and it will be seen that, should
there be six points on the disk, 1000
lines will have been copied during the
minute and recorded at the other end OF
the circuit This would mean that
copy had been obtained containing lines
finer than 100 to the inch, which is made
much finer than the lines of al cngrav
ing. The synchronism Of the disks could
be regulated by means of small induc-
ton coils, which would be influenced
by small electro magnets Specially con-
nected with each other and placed
around the periphery of the tlywheel,
governing the motion of the disks in
such manner that the impulse given
the wheel would coincide with the i'll
terruptions Of the circuit taking place
within q certain time.-New York

Preparing For the Paris rair.

Every European power having Off
cially promised 10 be represented at the
exhibition Of 1900, the period of active
preparation may be said to have begun.
That which chiefly occupies public at
tention III Paris just now is the compe-
tition for tho designs of the TWO build
ings intended to replace the Palais de
lIndustrie. The public will be admitted
to sec these, and the verdict Of the jury
may be expected soon.
The two palaces" will be on the
right and left of the road from the
Champs Elysecs TO the new Invalides
bridge over the Seine. They will be
utilized during the run of the exhibition
as art galleries and afterward for the
purposes OF annual salons, horse shows
and other fetes or exhibitions now held
in the Palais de l'Industric.
The go designs are worthy OF minute
inspection. Unfortunately the fault Of
being purely monumental, with only
secondary attention to the detail Of edl-
fees intended for tens of thousands OF
daily visitors, underlies each design
The choice of the jury will probably be
made among the following:
NJ. Girault has in the main followed
the original design of the Palais de
lIndustrie, with great improvements in
view of the Salon and Concours Hip
pique. NJ Esquie has, on the other
hand, taken the central cupola of the
Champ de Mars as his starting point
NM. Deglane and Binet include q tri-
umphal avenue of statuary il their plan,

CLEVER JOE STORMS.
An Educated simian Who Will Do Some
Talking When He's Bit Older.

An Educated Simian Who Will Do Some
TnllssGc When He's Bit Older.
Joe Storms has returned to this city
full of hard boiled eggs and bright
prospects. 1t is just one year since San
Francisco was honored by q visit from
Mr. Storms, and he comes back to us
much improved mentally, socially and
physically He is now connected with a
sort of pork and bean menaSerie and
will probably remain for an indefinite
period, as Joseph has not been long
enough in the show business to know
now to walk the ties.
J. Storms is 4-year-old orang outang
who landed here from the orient OH the
steamer Coptic last July i'll charge Of
MS guardian, Captain Storms of Taco
ma. The sailor commanded bark ply
ing between the islands OF Borneo and
Srnnatra, and Joe was captured during
q trip to the former place. He received
nice personal notices in the papers while
passing through this port on his way to
Tacoma 70 be educated
The beast graduated with honor and
is now famous throughout the country
rs the most learned orang outang alive.
His picture has been i'll the magazines.
The smart simian shivered and shud-
dered in box ON the Oregon dock yes
terday morning, having arrived from
Portland by steamer the previous even
ing. He is in doubtful company, having
associated with two stuffed deer, one
NANCY emu and a skunk called IriIby.
However, Joe is all right himself and
has learned many things i'll college at
Tacoma that may prove useful TO him
III years to come if he lives.
One of his accomplishments is to wear
clothes just like aman who has clothes.
At night he takes them off, placing the
trousers between the mattresses to pre-
servo the crease affected by those who
know the correct thing i'll dress. Joe
also smokes cigarettes, but does not in
hale. Be it said TO his credit that Mr.
Storms prefers pipe if he can get 1t.
Those who saw Joe on his first visit
will be panied to note that he now has
a bicycle face. He learned to ride the
bike and has joined several century runs
in the northwest. While hiking the
orang outang wears an appropriate cos
tune, including golf socks and striped
cap. Once he was arrested i'll Portland
for scorching, but was allowed to so
with reprimand from the judge, who
said he would allow no more such mon
key business.
Other clever tricks are writing to his
girl in fine Italian hand, drinking
from bottle and replacing the cork,
leading Friday night cotillons and car
rying the hod.
Joes owner says that he can do every
thing but talk The only reason he does
not is because Of his extreme youth. He
has tongue, teeth and palate and
could speak if he had anything TO say
He is pleased with our climate. The
scholar has gained in flesh since his last
visit, and his dark brown brow IS
"sicklied DER with the pale cast of
thought. He is slightly bald, too, from
wearing his cap in the house and devot-
ing TOO much time to study, but his
general health is gocd.-San Francisco
