Hern and Hawkins Meet.


After the "opening" Of Stevens track
had been postponed as told elsewhere,
some of the fellows who had raised
their sporting spirits to such pitch
that they could not let them down
without discomfort, got Hawkins and
Hern matched for seven and One-half
mile race on the track north Of town.
This was to be the principle feature Of
the opening and for weeks it had been
the chief topic of contention among
the cyclers.
The Hern men went into the race
with high hopes and feathers and came
back looking and feeling like .mOlasses
in June, dripping off the edges 1t
was apparently an easy victory for
Hawkins who fell in right behind Hern
and stayed there till the last round
when he shot ahead so easily that
Hern gave it up, Nevertheless some
of the uern men are still game and
talking new race when they say they
hope to have their man in b. tier con.
dition than he was at this race.

The Crocodile,a Strong Jaw.

Sir Samuel Baker, in his wild
Beasts, says that the power of the jaws
of the crocodile is terrific Once he had
the metal of large hook, the thickness
of ordinary telegraph wire, completely
bent together, the barbed point being
pressed tightly against the shank and
rendered useless. This compression was
caused by the snap of the jaws when
selzing "a live duck which he had used
as "A bait, the hook being fastened be-
meath one wing. On one occasion he
found fish weighing 20 pounds bitten
clean through as if divided by knife
This, again, was the work of "A snap
from the jaws of IA crocodile. NJ Paul
Bert once made experiments on the
strength of crocodile's jaws by means
of dynamometer. He found that q

The lion has an enormous jaw power.
On ore occasion an African traveller
pushed the butt end of his gun into a
lions mouth, and the pressure of the
jaws cracked it as though it had been
struck by steam hammer.
