of the Puritan maid Priscilla. The thin
neck and bony shoulders and arms had
given place to firm, rounded, dimpled
members, beneath skin so white as to
be almost dazzling. The hollow eyes
were gone, for tender light burned in
their blue depths, delicate flush played
over the soft, rounded cheeks, and
smile Of sweet content lowered about

Ancient Methods of signaling

"HChcut NAcGuOuS VI SISndAInS
The fabulous honor of being the first
inventor of the art of signaling is be-
slowed by certain classical writer's up
on the ingenious Palamedes. This hero
may have introduced improvements in
ueta1l, but 1t is certain that long before
the time of the Trojan war the Egyp-
tlans and Assyrians, if not the Chinese
and other nations of remote antiquity
-oI whom monumental records remain
TO us-had developed regular methods
OF signaling by fire, smoke, flags, etc.
The great wall, built by the Chinese
ages ago. and 1,500 miles long, is stud
ded with towers. Between these sig
nails were interchanged when troops
mad to be collected in order to resist
attack at any point threatened by the
Tartars or "outer barbarians." BY Ma
1or Boucheraeder and others it has been
considered that the huge tower of Babel
was erected for similar as we'll as for
a number of different purposes. That
is to say, for the signaling not necessar-
lily Of any particular words or sentences,
but of expected events, imperial de-
crees, military orders and other mat
tiers intended to be understood through
conventional signals, whether of lights,
flags, semaphores or other devices, by
all the motley host of nationalities and
languages of which the Chaldean en-
pire was composed.-Cornhill Maya

LOOKING AT MR.. BALDWIN.
en-. My plan was to approach the kraal
and try to get a shot at the lion with
the aid of bluelights, which l carried
with me in anticipation of such emer-
gencies as the present. Mr.. Baldwin at
once volunteered to accompany me, and
armed himself with a Martini rife.
Then repairing to the boys" fire. I
explained my plans and called for a VOL
unteer to hold the light which would
enable ME to get a suitable view of nv
quarry. The African native does not
show a great amount of enthusiasm for
lion-hunting even by daylight, so l con-
fess to being very agreeably surprised
when three boys offered to join us in
the attack-my Bamangwato boy, Le-
charm, a Mashikolumbwe youth of
about IS, and a Mankoya who had re-
Gently entered my service. The re-
mainder preferred the warm glow of
their camp fire. AS the Mashikolumb-
we seemed to me to exhibit most calm
ness of demeanor, l intrusted him with
the blue light, with instructions to keep
close behind my right shoulder. and to
hold the light aloft after l had ignited
the fuse; the other two prolonged the
line to the right, with Mr.. Baldwin on
their flank. And thus we advanced
slowly into the darkness until within
some thirty PAGES of the cattle kraal,
when we were pulled up sharp by the
sound of an angry growl from our I'M
seen enemy. l Immediately applied
the striker to the fuse-once-twice-
thrice, but still only a faint glimmer of
light came. The fuse was a bad one
and refused to ignite. Another growl,
and then others in quick succession as
the lion advanced straight for us. The
night was cloudy and pitch dark. so no.
thing could be seen of the brute as he
disputed our right to the OK he had
killed. To retreat would have been
fatal, so lowering my rifle l stood nv
ground and waited until such time as
the dark outline of his form should
become visible, when two hardened
elongated bullets would hoped-give
him his "quietus." Fortunately the
boys remained firm, for their retreat
might have emboldened the lion to SUBJ

been within six feet when his growl-
ings ceased and all became quiet again.
A second light responded to the strik-
er, and lit up the kraal and its sur
roundings. The enemy had decamped
and taken covert in the scrub beyond.
We then retraced IL steps, and smoked
a pipe in order to give his majesty
time to think over matters and return
to his meat.
In about half an hours time we re-
turned to the attack. AS we neared the
kraal another low growl greeted us. l

Dogs Wonderful Act.

. vVnuOkkoA y
This dog Is Prof. Fills most valued
possession. He is the only dog in the
world that can play a tune. Probably
half the people who see this remarkable
performance believe that it is a trick
and that the piano Is fixed to play with
out the assistance of Black-that is the
dogs real name,
Prof. Fills laughingly destroyed the
fond Illusion of the man who believes
animals reason by explaining that this
Russian poodle really has no idea Of
music and doesn't know A from d when
the notes are sounded. 1t TOOK him two
years to teach the dog the simplest tune
so that he could trust his pupil before
an audience. But the reward was
great. Blacks first appearance was
made in Paris and the hit was instan-
taneous. Prof. Fills taught Black to
play the few airs in his repertoire by
the o persistent practice. No aspir-
ing musician ever spent longer hours
or more labor over a piano than did
Black. He had advantage in that
he had to do scales or practice
lingering or pedaling. The professor
guided a paw to one key enough times
to teach the dog its location, then upon
another and another, going back to the
beginning and repeating an infinite
number Of times until the whole mech
anical process of that particular tune
al impressed on the dogs brain. But

A Musical Wheel.

The bicycle has reached another
phase of it's constant development
through a novel and highly interesting
invention, consisting in a musical in
strument which may be attached to any
bicycle and plays popular airs, without
the aid of the rider, in a loud and me-
lodious manner, when the machine Is
in motion. This instrument consti-
tutes an entertaining companion for the
bicyclist on his roamings, which are
frequently rather lonely; it is so much
more welcome as it will be a compan-
ion entirely submissive to the riders
wishes. 1t has been invented, patented
and placed upon the market by a firm
in Hamburg, and is fittingly called
"troubadour," after the wandering mu-
sicians of the middle ages.-Science and

A Curious Fish.

The "parrot-ish" is an inhabitant of
the tropical seas, and is perhaps the
most wonderfully-colored fish in the
world. The whole body is covered with
a beautifully drawn pattern of elongat-
ed %hexagons, as perfect and regular as
those of a honey-comb.
The colors of this remarkable fish
are as follows: The general hue is
azure blue. covered with a hexagonal
network of golden yellow. The oddly
shaped head is bright yellow. streaked
and spotted with blue. The dorsal and
anal ms are brown, edged with green,
and the pectorials and ventals are
brown with the front rays green. The
tail is wholly green. The species are
very numerous. and received their title
of "parrot-fsh" from the rich beauty of
their jaws, which are very strong, COW
cred with great numbers of mosaic-like
teeth, and curved in a manner that
greatly resembles the beak of a parrot.
AS the fish wears out it's teeth rap
idly in crushing the hard substances on
which it feeds, a provision is made for
%ensuring a continual supply of new
teeth to replace those which are vsorn
away, and rendered useless. The
young teeth are perpetually being de-
veloped towards the base of the jaws,
and advanced in orderly succession to-
wards the front, taking their places
with unfailing certainty in the densely
compacted mosaic work which arms the
jaws.

Here is a true tale from the Philip-
pines and Spain: A nobly born Castil-
ian. gifted as a poet, living on his ss-
tate near Manila, was led by what he
saw of the Spanish misgovernment tc
sympathize with the natives in their
aspirations for freedom. He wrote
some poems, expressing his sympathy
The Spanish government arrested him,
and took him to Spain for trial for
reason. There he was condemned 10
death. At Manila he had been engaged
to marry the daughter of the German
co~nsul-general. The day before he
