NAVIGATING LIONS.
Tricks of the Savage Beasts I'm TAX
tt ing Their Prey in Their Ma
t#H ~ tive JunGles. 5.H#

when lions become maneaters these
inert and treacherous brutes take no
unnecessary trouble to catch men, and
while human beings are plentiful none
of them undertake perilous enterprises
or proceed on any haphazard eXpedi-
lions. They know what to do and where
to go that prey may, be procured with
the least amount of risk or eXertion.
Such lion is well aware Of who tills
this cornfeld or that mealie patch. He
has informed himself of how many men
accompany the village herds, where
any outlying camps are situated, and
how they are guarded. There is no
route by which travellers proceed or
traffic is carried ON that such animals
have not studied with reference to the
facilities for. attack they afford and
their own bodily powers. If otherwise
good strategic positions present natural
difficulties the. lion not only considers
how these can be overcome. but per-
haps practices his part beforehand.
At all events, he has been watched
while engaged in exercises that can
only be explained in this way. 81
so puny a creature as man is when
unproEided with effective implements
for offense stands little chance against
such a foe-an assailait having 40 times
his strength, backed by marvellous ac-
tivfty and an intense passion for car
mage. Under these circumstances saw
ages can only shut themselves up or as
sault their enemy in large masses. On
the other hand, those precautions taken
by .murderous lion might not seem to
comport with that bold and often reck-
less temper attributed to this species.
But such discrepancy has no real ex-
istence; it only appears when judg-
rnent is made without taking all the
facts into consideration. This animals
intelligence. developed in maneaters to
its highest point, together with an or
ganic stealthiness of nature and strata
gems. fully accounts for everything a
lion doesin the way of guarding against
failure."AOutine.

New Blood Disease.

Technology, a comparatively new
medical term, is a knowledge of blood
and disease as evidenced by the changes
observed in blood. 1t has already made
such advances that many diseases may
be recognized by examination of the
blood. From mere observation of the
relative number of leucocytes white
blood corpuscies) and erythrocytes
(red blood corpuscles) it has advanced
TO elaborate analysis of other elements
of the blood and the recognition of bod
les foreign to normal blood. This 'ology
promises to be of especial value to man
kind in giving early warning of disecse
otherwise not manifest and showing
the advance or decline of abnormal con-
ditions.-St. Louis Medical and Surgical

A Pen Picture of Mataafa.
Malcolm Ross, in Harper's Weekly.


We found Mataafa sitting on a mat in
the kings house. On the wall, where a
small portion of the side of the house was
boarded in. hung the photograph of group
of German naval officers, and above 1t a
gaudily ornamented picture of the Virgin
on background of blue peppered with gold
stars-for Mataafa is strict Roman Cath
olic. From one of the central pillars of the
house hung a modern rifle. On the floor be-
side the chief was cheap mahogany
framed mirror. lamp without chimney
and tin-enameled mug and water carafe.
The surroundings could be taken in at a
glance; but the man himself arrested the
attention, There was calm dignity of
manner about him as he sat there cross
legged on his mat a large lava-lava OF
tappa covering his spacious loins and waist.
His short-cropped gray hair and mustache
showed signs of advancing age. and per-
chance of bis five years banishment in the
island of Jaluit. He seemed man OF
strong personality as he sat there. with in
scrutable face and fine head poised above a
brave chest and big breast, every now and
then swishing the flies away with his ebon-
handled fue of horse tail: but all the time
there was that shifty look of the eye, and
we know now that for all his grand air, he
is very babe in politics, and too apt to be
made the puppet of priests and prime min
listers in this puppet principality.
