CLIMATE.

climate. The summers are sometimes
quite warm, but ten or twelve hours

delightful climate of the mountains,
where you can breathe the fragrant air
which cannot be found anywhere except
n the mountains aud among the giant
pines and fire. And then comes the win

the states mentioned they have billiards

winters are mild; stock of all kinds are
left on the ranges all the year around.

TERRORS Of LION HUNTING
FEROCITY OF THE KING OF
BEASTS.
A Night Adventure Of Gerard the
Famous Lion Killer-Experi-
ences He Cares Not to Repeat.

Every hunter of ferocious wild
beasts knows what Job meant when
he exclaimed, l am escaped with
the skin of my teeth Gerard, the
famous lion. killer, was one dark
nigh, waiting at the ford of broo k
in Algiers, at a spot where
a certain black lion usual y
crossed to get his weekly supply OF
beef from the Arabs cattle, corralled
on the plain. The hunter sat on a
stone that overlooked the steep
sides Of the ford, bracing his feet on
a root which curved out of the
bank.
Suddenly from the other side of
the blook, half a mile up the hill, he
heard the heavy moaning that pre-
cedes the lions roar, and then his
full-toned voice belched forth its de-
donations.
In few minutes, opposite to
where he was sitting, there came a
sigh and long moan. He looked
and saw the eyes of the lion, like
two burning Goals, fastened upon
him. They disappeared and he
heard the lion splashing in the
water. Then he saw the eyes again,
glowing at him six PAGES distant.
Taking aim as accurately as the
darkness would permit, he pulled
the trigger of his rife and the fash
revealed the lion struggling in the
water. Gerard withdrew his foot
from the root and stood ready to
fire the second barrel; but he cou d
see and hear nothing except the
swirl of the brook and the flashes
of its foam. Unwilling to explore
such region of shadows with a
wounded lion waiting somewhere
in it he returned to the Arabs
camp.
The next morning on going to
the spot of his night adventure the
first thing he saw was the root on
which he had braced his feet cut in
two by the lions teeth and the bank
beneath furrowed by his claws. At
the edge of the brook small piece
of bone was found. The ball had
broken the lions shoulder, but not
trace of him could be found that
day.
The next day the Arabs found
him on the side of the mountain.
He charged them and would have
made short work OF men and horses
had he not dragged after him a
broken leg. Gerard found him halt
ing in small opening, lashing his
tail and growing. On the other
side of the brook were sixty armed
but trembling Arab horsemen.
Gerard dismounted and started
after the lion, who had gone into
thicket. A stone thrown in caus-
ed the lion to dash out. The hunt
er fired; his ball struck the beast in
the forehead. He fell, but instant
ly reared on his hind legs. The
second ball pierced the heart and
he fell over dead.
