Not long ago, Thomas H. johnson of New
Albany an employee of the Illinois Central
railroad, running on a freight train be-
tween Louisville and Central City, was
killed while leaning out from the top of a
car. Before the widow even knew all the
particulars of his death letters were show
cred in upon her by lawyers along the line
of the road. In due time the coffin bear
ing the remains of the unfortunate man
reached the mourning widow. 1t was
opened, and to the coat sleeve Of the dead
mans grave clothes was pinned note
written by a lawyer near the scene of the
accident, offering to prosecute the road for
d percentage of the damages.

Killed a Bear.

A big silvertip bear was killed near
the Spring ranch last Saturday. A
hunter CHANGED to meet the plautigrade
in the brush when it showed fight and
rapidly advanced TO the fray. The
hunter was armed with a new nitro
powder 1925 rifle and he fired tive
shots into the big brute before it fal.
tered. The last leaden missile brought
the bear down. Both shoulders were
broken and the vital organs of the
bear were found to be terribly
lacerated by the five well directed
shots. 1t was stopped when only 20
feet away from the hunter. The heal
was separated from her cub AMI the
mother Instincts perhaps prompted
the attack.
This bear had killed a COW on the
Fountain grade a week before and
there was reward of $40 offered fol
her capture. This was perhaps the
same beast which attacked Indian

There seems hardly any limit to the
age of fish of many kinds. Carp are
known to have lived 200 years and
over, while the case of the Russian
pike that was caught few years ago
with a gold band around it's tail on
which the date 1916 was imprinted is
well known. There are gold fish that
have belonged to one family over 60
years, and do not now appear much
larger than when originally placed in
the aquarium, though they are every
bit as lively as ever. In the royal
aquarium of St. Petersburg there are
fish to-day that are known to have
been there at least $50 years. Some of
them are five times as big as when
first captured; others have not grown
an inch.

men and the ankles connected by steel
rods. From the lower rings the heavy
leaden soles are suspended so that the
suit is practically in one solid unit
The sleeves are similar to the trousers,
protected against pressure, but plant
and easily moved.
The great advantage of this suit is
that the diver need not work under an
atmospheric pressure exceeding that on
the surface, for the escape of air is
provided through a floating tube, the
valve of which is kept at any height
to suit the diver. The diver whose pho
tograph is reproduced in our picture
went to a depth of 1885 feet the first
time he tried the new suit and remain
ed below for so minutes, but felt as
well as in thirty feet of water with the
old apparatus. This does not necessa-
rily mean the limit of the depth for the
new apparatus.

When person builds a house in
Manila he must decide first whether he
prefers death and destruction by earth
quake or typhoon. If he wants to die
by the earthquake method he builds
masonry house, which tumbles down
on him when the earth quakes. If he
prefers death by typhoon, he builds
bamboo house. The earthquake
doesn't affect it, but the typhoon moves
it over into Mindanao. AS Manila
gets both typhoons and earthquakes
the choice is imperative.

INEBRIETY AMONG ANIMAL ).
Monkeys, Rats, Birds nd Even Insects Love
Intoxi rants.

Monkeys, Rats, Birds s nd Even Insects Love
Intoxi rants.
! 1t is a curious fact that there are
topers innumerable in the animal king
dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike
are fond of alcoho lie drinks and al
though some display aversion when
first tasting liquor, they soon acquire
a craving for it.
Chickens and d. !cks, after having
once tasted brandy, become absolute
slaves to the drinl. They refuse to
eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms
OF detection when unable to obtain
their favorite tipplo.
Monkeys and apps are passionately
fond of spirituous liquors. OF these,
D.. Buffon's wine-bibbi 1g chimpanzee was
shining example, and Brehm, the
German zoologist, owned several man
drills that drank wine regularly and
did not disdain bra ndy.
Herbivorous anirlals frequently be-
come intoxicated, 4nnocently enough,
through eating de caying fruit. In
orchards oxen and cows, after eating
overripe apples, have been seen to dis
play all the sympto ns of drunkenness.
They stagger, theii eyes lose express
sion, and they grow sleepy.
1t seems that anil lals are susceptible
to alcoholism in pr oportion to the de-
velopment of their intelligence. Ele-
plants are fond of wine and rum, and
rats gnaw the slaves of wine casks to
get at the contents. Cats, however,
rarely exhibit a ftndness for intoxi-
cants.
Among birds the parrot takes first
place as an habitual topper. Insects
have many opportunities to become in
toxicated, and it Is the most active
that most frequently avail themselves
of the chance. Tt ere is an aromatic,
/ intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms
for which bees show an especial fond
ness.
Instances have bfen observed where
swarms of bees RECALLED themselves
with the poisonous linden nectar un-
til they exhibited al the signs of in
toXication. Hundreds fell helplessly
to the roadside to be trampled under
foot.

The sun arose and their hearts grew

The hoofs OF their horses spurned the

Men shouted: "Is not this life, oh
Brother?'
and they answered.: Truly this is be-
ing alive!"
The day grew old, star bright night
overlook her.
The kindness of the Moon caused her
to hide her face.
Our young men saw the fires of sham
mar,
They surrounded the encampment,
Courage and skill they showed, brave
were their hearts.

Seven new mares eat in our pasture.

Nature, not being European power.
keeps her forces in readiness where
they are needed, in consequence of
which the scavengers muster in
strength in hot countries. Vultures
wander but rarely to these parts. and
such sharks as occur are, with few ex-
ceptions, but minnows of their race.
Yet we have even in these islands
humber purifiers at work, tadpoles and
burying beetles, and other suitable to
the comparatively easy work that falls
to them. One of these days, when nat
ural history is taught in a rational
manner in our schools, when the rising
generation learns to appreciate the liy-
ing world around instead of banging
pianos and splashing pigments, we
shall have recantation of the modern
geological faith and better apprecia-
tion Of the beasts and birds.
We shall find nothing to shudder at
in the meal of the vulture, but we NAV
on the contrary, even learn to protect
that remarkable bird and it's fellow
scavengers as among the worthiest of
earth's children. To the last the vul-
ture is active in its allotted mission,
and when at length it falls no living
beast, or bird, or insect will touch it's
body, and it must crumble quietly to
dust, lasting-somewha too lasting
as those know who have camped near
an undiscovered dead vulture for some
to the usefulness of
the great scavenging army of which it
once was so active a member.

matter?"
Then burst in Anra's agonized tones:
"Why, l saw the horrd thing fasten

times. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! You'll

Then the honest fellow examined the
cork limb and therefrom extracted a
fang nearly half an inch long.
Still, In a dazed fashion, Anna ca
ressed the limb, scarce knowing what
she did, then remembering all at once,
her pale face flushed as she murmur-
ed; "Oh, what will you think of
