but as the sportsman was on his way to
the spot where the rogue made its head
quarters, the animal, which had been
concealed in the bush, rushed out, and,
Selling the man in its trunk, hurled him
high in the air, drawing back to gore
and trample upon him as he came down.
Fortunately, a large tree stood con-
vcniently in the way, and the flying man,
for he was literally flying through the
air, seized limb and held himself in
that position, entirely uninjured, be-
yond the incidental shock.
Among the narrow escapes from
whales, perhaps the most remarkable
is an instance of a large whale which,
when struck, sunk, striking the bot
tom, then came up directly beneath
the boat of three lone fishermen.
The men quickly pulled it on one side,
while the whale shot over ten feet into
the air, so that for a moment it poised,
60 or so tons of vigorous life, directly
over the boat. But its inertia carried it
beyond them, where it fell, its tail, not
ten feet from the boat, almost swamp
ing it by the terrific unheaval of water
all about.
Several years ago a sailor was sitting
in a dory fishing off the Long island
coast, when up through the bottom Of
the boat came blade two or three feet
long, cutting through the woodwork as
keenly as would a steel blade, and run
ming up the trouser leg of the fisherman,
coming out in a wide rent at the knee
without injuring him in the least,
Though naturally surprised, he seized
the sword and made it fast to the seat
by a rope. and finally caught the sword
fish that had come within few inches
of giving him a deadly wound.
An East Indian traveller related a

Hardly knowing why, he sprang for

HAIRBREADTH ESCAPES.
Witnesses in Each Case to Prove
That They Were True.
How Selous, the Famous African Ex-
plorer, Fooled an Enraged Elephant
Lively Experience with
Python.

An English sportsman with some
American friends was hunting the rhi-
noceros one day in equatorial Africa,
when suddenly, without warning, they
were charged by n huge bull that
singled out the Englishman and chased
him down q narrow clearing where the
riders horse became entangled in the
underbrush.
The Infatuated rhinoceros soon CAME
up with the fugitives, and thrust its
ugly head beneath the horse, expecting
to pierce it with its sharp horn.
Instead of this the latter slipped I'M
der the girth, and by it the rhinoceros
lifted horse and rider, tossing them
completely over its head, so that they
fell upon its flank.
Thinking it had completed its pur-
pose, the beast trotted off, upon which
the horse and rider struggled to their
feet entirely uninjured, except for the
shaking up.
Selous, the African elephant hunter,
had marvellous escape. He was chased
by an Infatuated elephant, thrown from
his horse, which ran away, leaving him
upon the ground. Before he could rise,
the elephant was upon him, and, falling
upon its knees, sent one of its sharp
trsks through his thighinto the ground.
for moment pinning him there.
Selous. while suffering terribleagony,
did not lose his presence of mind, but
pretended to be dead, well knowing that
this was his only hope. The elephant
watched him closely a moment, then,
thoroughly deceived, pulled its tusks
out and ran off into the woods, receiving
as it went it's quietus in the shape of n
bullet, which the hunters companions
had not dared to fire before, fearing
that the animal would fall on him.
In India the natives of a certain vii
lage were for months chased and tor,
mented by what is known as a rogue
elephant-an animal that seems to be
possessed with the demon of mischief
Finally a white hunter came to the
village and agreed to kill the elephant;

1t Shows Location of a Swallowed Coin,
Which Is Removed.
An unusual operation was performed
the other day by DR.. F. W. thinner, of
Rochester, N. Y.
A child % months old swallowed a
penny 16 days ago. A photograph was
taken a week ago and the coin approx
imately located in the esophagus. A
prolonged attempt was then made by
ordinary means TO extract the coin, but
without success.
II was then finally determined to use
the Horoscope. During the operation,
the observer directed the movements
from his observation of the coin and
metal instruments as they appeared on
the fuorescent screen. Thin boards
were placed under the Crookes tube.
The observer placed himself beneath.
and, with the use of q new metallic
screen of inch mesh definitely located
the coin.
The tube was then placed under the
child, and DR.. thinner proceeded to
grasp the coin under the direction of the
observer. The coin was safely removed
afer slipping once or twice from the
forceps. The child was under the influ-
elrce of ether, and the observer saw
every movement of the forceps. The
child is now considered out of danger.

REUNITED AFTER YEARS.
Colorado Man and an Indiana Girl Figure
In q Romance.

In = Romance.
John Marker, a veteran of the late
war, returned to his home in Shelby
county, Ind, in 1865 and found his
home a wreck. His wife was in the
grave and his only child the adopted
daughter of well-to-do family, who
refused to allow the child to leave them.
He departed, nothing more being heard
of him, and he was mourped as dead.
Recently friends induced the daugh-
ter, Miss Jennie Marker, to apply tor a
pension. She did so, only to learn that
her father was living in Colorado. The
young lady began correspondence
with her parent, who is a resident OF
Colorado, and prominent citizen. The
parent had gone there and accumulated
a fortune and, after making frequent
attempts to learn of his daughter, had
concluded that she was dead.
On learning that such was not the
case, he arrived at Shelbyvile, Ind,
and win take his child home with him.
The meeting between them was joy
full one, and when the aged parent met
his daughter the scene was truly dra-
Iretio.

IL One Hundred and Two Years Old But
Is Able to Take Care OF Herself.
Mrs. Christiana French, of Chester
township, Burlington county, n. j.,
102 years 4 months and % days old, has
just won a suit in the New Jersey SUI
preme court, which she instituted in
November last. Mrs. French is prob
ably the oldest litigant in the world,
and the favorable termination of her
action speaks volumes for her present
clearness of mind.
Mrs. French was born in Chester
township on August l, 1894, and during
her life of almost 103 years she says she
has never lived single day in any
other place. Since the death of her hus-
band, about rs years ago, she has prac-
tically stood at the head of her family,
although once married, and up 10 the
present day she transacts all her bust
ness, except that which may require
Il long journey. The maiden name of
this aged litigant was Chr'stiana
Slim, and early in the century she mar
ried Louis c. French. Five children
were born to them, one of whom, John,
still lives. Mrs. French has some
means, and upon the interest she is
| enabled TO live comfortably. In April,
1882, she loaned 5000 on a promissory
note made by Joseph Benable and Lewis
Fowler, and was to receive annual inter-
| est at six per cent. Her business judg-
| ment told her that an indorser of means
would make the loan more secure, and
although 90 years old when the loan
was contracted, Mrs. French procured
the proper indorser in Joseph r. Harris.
The makers of the note paid sig regu-
larly each year for ten years, properly
renewing the one year note each time,
but failed to pay the interest in 1891,
1894, 1895 and 1896. After due warn
ing Mrs. French placed the note in the
hands of her counsel, with instructions
to bring suit against Mr.. Harris. This
was done, with the result that judy
ment was obtained for S255.44, being
the amount of the note with interest
| and costs to date. The amount was
| assessed by Benjamin F. Lee, clerk of
the court, on the clear statement of
the transaction made to the court by
Mrs. French. The aged litigant has
| advised her counsel to give her debtor
n reasonable time in which to settle the
| Judgment.

SHORT SUGAR.
England And France Worried over
The Industry.

England And France Worried over
The Industry.
London, Jan. 15.-The committee ap-
pointed to examine into the West In
dian industry has already taken the
evidence of Mr.. Lubbock, Mr.. Alstone
and other representatives of the West
Indian traders.
The leading recommendations made
by all the witnesses thus far examined
has been in favor of countervailing du-
ties to offset the bounties paid to the
continental makers of beet sugar in the
event of it being impossible to arrive
at an agreement with the bounty pay
ing nations to abolish the bounties.
Statistics placed before the commits
sion show that while the population
of the British West Indies increases at
the rate of $4,000 annually, the sugar
exports have fallen off twenty-five per
cent in fourteen years.
The French sugar planters in Mar
tininque and Guadalupe are in as bad
a plight as those in the British colo
MES. French colonial sugar industry
is on the verge of utter ruin, and de-
mand that against the home bounty
system they export, whether to France
or foreign countries. The English
commissioners will sail for Demarara
on the steamer Don on Wednesday
