you wish to put it, the lion fell back
on TO the trestle writhing in frightful
agony, and then, for the first time, l
realized that the danger was over.

found there by the train crew of En-

brought it to Skykomish. There it was
skinned. The claws were taken by
some of the other firemen and engi-
neers, who had watch charms made of
them. The beast was still alive when
the men discovered it."

Prehistoric Dogs.

A Swiss naturalist has recently pre-
scented to the Helvetian Society of Nat
ural Science the results of a study Of
the remains of dogs found among the
ancient lake dwellings Of Switzerland,
the earliest of which date from the Age
of Stone. He finds that three different
races of dogs existed there at that time,
one of which resembled the Siberian
sledge-dog of to-day. Later, when the
Age of Bronze dawned upon the Alps,
two new species appeared, one being a
sherpherd dog and the other a hunting
dog. All of these dogs were of northern
origin, the canine types of the Mediter-
ranean lands not having crossed the
Alps.

Vast Engineering Work in India.
The triumpbs of modern engineers
over natural obstacles know no limit.
The latest achievement which has been
brought into public notice is the diver
sion of the river Periyar from its nat
ural outlet in the Indian ocean to the
bed of the Vaigai, which flows east
ward into the Bay of Bengal
The district round Madura, in the
Madras presidency, had long suffered
from want of water for irrigation, and
it was decided some few years ago to
relieve IL in the manner described. The
work involved the construction of an
enormous dam, 17S feet in height, I'M
pounding the waters Of the Periyar, and
forming a lake which, when at its high
est level, will have an area of 1854
acres, or nearly twelve square miles.
An open cutting over a mile in length
and twenty-one feet wide, followed by
a tunnel of about the same length and
with a sectional area of ninety square
feet, conveys the stream across the wa
tershed to the Vaigai. Eighty miles
lower down 1t is distributed by artid-
cial canals in the Madura district.
To provide for floods, which at times
are very severe, an overflow saddle
has been provided in the watershed
separating the two districts, so thai
when the level rises thirty-one fee
above the cutting it shall escape by
this means The difficulty of the wOrl
may be imagined when it is stated
that it was carried on in an uninhabit
ed jungle, twenty miles from the near
est cultivated land and eighty mile!
from a railway station, and that, ow
ing to the unhealthiness of the climat,
at certain seasons and the prevalence
of floods, the engineers could only worl

How Deer Walk,

A curious fact, not commonly known
about the gait of red deer in England
has recently been published in a book

appears that a stag crosses his legs
right and left in walking, while with
a female deer, except under particular
circumstances, the prints of the hind
foot will be found in a direct line with
those of the forefoot.

How Tomatoes Are Preserved in Every
House in Italy.
In every house and cottage In Italy
the preserving Of tomatoes is carried
on. Terraces, balconies and even the
fiat roofs of the houses are half COW
cred with plates containing the deep
red substance. After gathering, the
tomatoes intended for preserve are
spread out for some hours in the sun
till the skin has somewhat shTunk
They are then passed through a sieve
so that they may be freed both from
seeds and skins. AS they contain
large proportion of water the substance
which has been passed through the
sieve must be hung in bags, from which
the water exudes, and soon pool of
dirty-looking water is formed beneath
each bag. Strange to say, it is in no
way tinged with red. The mixture
whick remains in the bags has the con-
sistency of very thick paste. 1t is
then sailed, the proportion being a lit
tie less than an ounce of salt to
pound Of preserve. The process now
requires that it should be spread on
fiat plates, exposed to the sun and STIR
red from time to time with a wooden
spoon, so that the upper part may not
form a crust, while underneath it re-
mains soft. 1t Is a picturesque sight
when the women are to be seen fitting
about ON their roofs and terraces at
tending to their deep-red preserve, their
colored handkerchiefs flung on their
heads to screen them from the rays Of
the burning sun when it is at It's fer
cest. In the evening the contents Of
the various plates are taken in and
stirred up together, for If moistened
by the night dew the whole would be
spoiled. After being exposed to the sun
for seven or eight days, the same proc
ess being repeated each day, the pre-
serve is finished and placed in jars for
! winter use.
Though it is used by all class of per.
sons, it is more necessary to the poor
than to the rich, for the latter can make
