ROYAL HUNTING.
Exploits of Se1ous, the Famous E1e-
plant Hunter.

Frederick Coutenay Selous, the ia
nous South African hunter, who was :
delegate to the convention of British
scientists at Tonronto, has gone to the
Rocky Mountains to enjoy the scenery
and try his luck at bringing down big
game. For twenty-three years Mr.. Sc
lous was South African hunter. His
first object was to make Il living by
hunting elephants for their ivory, the
proceeds of each elephant killed be-
ing $50. When this business became
slack for want of elephants within
reach he turned his attention to the
hunting of lions, tigers and other wild
animals for their skins, and all the
museums of Europe and America. in
Guiding the Field Columbian Museum
Of Chicago, contain the fruits of his
achievements in that field. Later on
when the troubles broke out in South
Africa, he was the guide, philosopher
and friend of the British Government
During his brief stay in Chicago Mr..
Selous was interviewed by Times
Herald reporter, who writes of him
thus:
Mr.. Selous is As years old. five feet
ten inches tall and weighs 10 pounds.
He is as straight as a plumb line. His
shoulders and hips are broad and
square, and his waist visibly narrow
er. He looks and walks like a trained
athlete, and as if his muscles were
wire cable and his nerves watchspring
steel. There never was a man whose
figure more obviously expressed
strength, activity, agility, daring and
endurance.
Selous had his first experience in ele-
plant hunting in Matabeleland through
the favor of King Lobengula. The lat
ter at first ridiculed the idea of ''boy"
hunting elephants, and bluntly inform
ed him that antelopes were nearer his
size. Arguments and entreaties follow
ed, and at last Lobengula said
Well if you are not afraid of the
elephants hurting you. I am certainly
rot afraid of your hurting them. So
you can go on and hunt as much as
you choose"
Selous promptly took the King at his
wcrd, and it was not long before the
elephants were so thinned out that it
did not pay to hunt them in Matabele-
land.
Whether young Selous was a good
hunter or not may be inferred from
the record. Between June and De-
cember 5, 1874, he shot twenty-four
elephants, nine rhinoceros, one hippo
potamus, seven zebras one lion and a
number of other animals of less size.
During the year 1877 he killed twenty
elephants, ten rhinoceros, four hoppo-
potami, 100 buffaloes, forty-eight re
bras, thirteen lions and enough of 9TH
er monsters to make 54S in all. First
and last ne has killed over twenty
lions, and on one occasion he killed
three of them with four shots.
AS to the dangers of the hunt, he Of
ten came near paying with his own
life for the life of the beast On one
occasion he was following up a herd
of elephants in the Valley of Dett,
when suddenly a great bull turned
and chased him. He saved his life by
scrambling into forest of thorn
bushes, which tore his primitive gar
ments to shreds and made a pin cush-
ion of his body.

back; but it drew me like magnet,
and as L came near the machine [ knew
Kelsall was there. I could feel his
presence, cold, cold in death; and the
invisible fingers moved and the letters
clattered down I looked over and read
what what they were writing, and as
read my heart seemed to stand still,
and I shrieked aloud But I could not
move away. There I had to sand, just
| as West had done, by that icy horror,
and read what mortal man had never
read before. Then 1 could bear it no
longer. 1 was going mad! With ter
rible cry I burst from that fiendish
room-and awoke; and found myself
standing by my bedside, trembling in
every limb with sweat upon my face.

stiff glass of hot spirit and then turned
into bed again. This time 1 soon fell
asleep, and though vague thoughts of
West and Kelsall fitted across my
brain, I slept long after my usual hour.
1t was II o'clock when 1 reached Mrs.
Harper's.
well, how is Mr.. West this morning?
Did he have a good night ?" I asked.
Mrs. Harper shook her head.
Deed, sir, I don't know how he is.
His breakfast has been standing out
side his door since o'clock, and he
won't come for it, and it's little enough
he slept, I'm sure. Likely he had an
hour or two after you went, but he
was at again soon after you went, but
I don't think that horrid typer of his

used to it, now, and it doesn't worrit
me, but could hear it in my sleep, and
on it went clickity-clack" the whole
blessed night"
1 went up stairs and knocked at the
door.
West" I called out. West, let me
in. It's I-Bethell''
There was no reply. I repeated this,
and hammered loudly; still without re-
Spouse. I burst open the door and en-
tered. The room was in semi darkness
the blinds down and the curtains
drawn. The candles on the table had
burnt out, and the CRATE was full of
dead ashes. And West-he was sitting
at the table in the very chair he said
he dared not use, bowed over the type
writer. his fingers still on the keys!
Wake up, old man." I said, touch
ing him gently.
He did not move. I put my fingers
on his hand; it was stone cold. He was
dead.

been writing. Great heavens! it was a
continuation of the horrors he had
shown me the night before!-Henry A

4 New Wave Motor.

Los ANGELES, March Ga public test
of new wave motor was made Oh the
beach three miles from Dondo, from the
end Of q 100 foot wharf. Parvin Wright,
of this city, the inventor, conducted the
experiments in the presence of twenty
capitalists and inventors. By means OF
the float hydraulic compressor was ac-
tuated, forcing the water into a pressure
tank under working pressure Of lUC
pounds to tho square inch. Tho water
pressure tank operates Pelton wheel
which drives any kind Of machinery.
In the test made yesterday an electric
generator was used and circular saw
Where the machinery was located 500 feet
from the beach with four-foot tide and
six-tenths float five horse power was
easily generated. The machine is auto
matically self:regulating and is so ar
ranged that during the storm periods nc
more than a given amount of power OF
pressure can be cumulated.
Further experiments will be made at q
greater distance from the beach. Wrigh
says that during the minimum wave
movement he will develop one horse
power on every foot of ocean frontage
used. The cost Of steady power at tht
coast will not exceed $40 per horse power
per annum. The power can be delivered
in Los Angeles for S25, about one-thirt
the present cost. Mr.. Wright has had hi!

and England

His Brief Wedding Announcement

When man gets married away
from home he naturally feels it neccs-
sary to acquaint his folks with the
joyful news as soon as possible. John
Liddell, the handsome Englishman
who led Miss Marion Hellyer to the
altar in Riverside last Saturday before
a large party of fashionables, was
thoroughly impressed with his duty in
this respect, and SO he hunted up the
nearest telegraph Office and set about
to compose the message telling Of his
good fortune.
Some men would have gone into de-
tails to the extent Of naming the bride
and the time and the place, and solic-
iting the parental blessing. But tele-
graph companies do not handle mes
sages for nothing, no matter how
felicitous they may be in their charac-
ter, and as everybody knows, every
additional mile travelled by the mes
sage makes it that much more profit
able to the grasping corporation.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Liddells home is
in Shanghai, China, he prudently re-
Trained from committing the fault Of
vcrbasity. OF course his people were
expecting something in confirmation OF
what had been discussed in letters
from time to time, and he found it
much easier on that account to practice
brcyity and economy without sacrifi-
cling the meaning Of his message. This
is what he sent flashing over the wires
and under the ocean on it's long jour
ney to Shanghai
"Hurrah -
At any other time the receipt of
such telegram or cablcgram by Mr..
Liddells people might have caused
them some concern, but the happy
groom was thoroughly confident of
being understood. He had money
"to turn," and could have cablcd a
full account of the wedding without
creating any financial distress to him
self. As it was, there was nothing
cheap in the message. 1t cost $50.

The Terror Of Europe.

One of the greatest terrors Of Eu-
rope is the wolf. In Russia during
the last two years, according to official
sources, the wolves have dcvoured
11,000 horses, 10000 horned cattle,
$4,000 sheep, 5000 swine, 1000 dogs
and $4,000 fowl. They have also dur
ing the same period attacked sixty
eight persons, devouring two on the
spot and inficting fatal wounds on
twelve others. In France it is esti,
mated that 100000 of these animals
exist and the damage inflicted by them
is set down at about so, 100000 francs
annually. A regular body Of men,
numbering over l 1000, called the Lou
veterie, is maintained to keep down
wild beasts, and the force has a GER
tain efficiency, but is unequaled to
keeping the country clear Of them.
From time to time high bounties for
wolf scalps have been paid, as much
as 200 francs in the case of known
man eater, dreaded there as the man
eating tiger is in the Hindoo villages ;
but the animal is never extirpatcd.
In some years his ravage is greater
and in others less, but he is always in
evidence. In this country he has
been pretty we'll put down in the in
habitated parts. A few days ago a
prodigious wolf-drive was set on foot
in Atchison county, Kansas, five
square miles being covered and 700
persons participating. They rounded
up 200 jack rabbits, but not single
wolf. Considering his fierce and pre-
datory character abroad and his resist
ance to all efforts to destroy him, the
American animal must be set down as
rather a mcritorious creature, easily
amcnablc to extinction and not so
desperately destructive, even where it
continues to maintain fOothold.
