IN THE LIONS JAWS,
How 1t Feels to BE Attacked and Bitten
by Him.

From the Spectator.
The attacks of the lesser carnivora
smaller in proportion to man, are fire.
quently very painful: but matters are
so ordered that the bite of dog or a fer
ret is usually more painful than the
injuries inflicted by the Jaws of the
lion.
j. Crowther Hirst. in his rs Nature
Cruel?' states that the view that no
actual pain is suffered at the time
seems almost universal. In most cases
it would seem that there was no knowl-
edge of the actual contact, even in the
first rush of a lion, much less of any
pain experienced from the wounds
This is the view not only of the En-
glish. but of natives. In one or two
cases where consciousness was entirely
lost, the person came to- while the
lion was still standing over him. a
period of complete anaesthesia and I'M
consciousness having interviewed. But
more commonly those that have been
attacked and have recovered are con-
scious all the time, and if they suffer
at all do not feel acute pain.
This may be accounted for partly by
the shock given by the charge, which
forms the usual preliminary to being
wounded. A lion comes at its enemy
at full speed. galloping low, and dashe s
man standing upright to the ground
by the full impact of its body. Major
1nverarity states that the claws and
teeth entering the flesh do not hurt so
much as you would think but that
the squeeze given by the jaws on the
bone is really painful. When knocked
over he was still keenly conscious, and
felt none of the dreamy sensation eX-
perienced by Livingstone.
Major Swaine, struck down by lion
ess going full gallon, was unconscious
for some minutes and did not know
what had happened till he found him
self standing up after the accident. Il

KEEPS CURIOUS BUGS AS PETS.
Yucatan Insects Are Highly Esteemed by
the People.

lne feOplc.
From the Mexican Herald.
Three of the most curious pets that
were ever fed were brought to Mexico
the other day. They were brought there
by the butler in the household of Presi-
dent DiaZ, who has been on a trip to
Progresso. They are three bugs of a rare
breed. The only place in the world in
which they are found is Yucatan. Tho
average specimen is about an inch and a
half long. Its body is in two sections
resembling the bodies of some species of
the beetle. and each section is covered
with a stout shield or plate which is al
most fiat curving but a little at the
edges When the head of the bug is
placed under the microscope it looks rath
err intelligent and amiable.
The bugs which were brought here are
in a highly ornate state. Some cunning
artist of Yucatan has painted shields in
the Mexico national colors on the rear
plates over their bodies and highly col
ored punches of flowers on the front
plates and has gilded their long. doubled
up legs. Little gold chains are attached
to the middle of the rear plate, which is
the larger of each bugs body, by which
his bugship can be lifted or led around.
One of the bugs was presented to Presl-
dent Diaz, one to a Mexican lady and the
other to an American lady. They are
pets in the literal sense of the word. The
American lady's bug is receiving all kinds
of solicitous attention and seems to like
it. An effort will be made to teach him
some tricks. His habits and manners are
being closely watched. He loves the
sunshine, having been raised in the hot
country, and when he is lifted by his
gold chain and dropped in the full glare
of the sun. with the cork of beer bottle
in front of him to munich. he seems to be
supremely happy.

FIRE IN A LODGING HOUSE.
Flames Originated in a Clothes Closet.
Damage, $50.

damage, 8ou.
Last evening about 9 o'clock fire was
discovered in closet on the second
floor of the Davenport boarding and
lodging house, No. 621 East Broadway.
The occupants threw water on the
burning clothes and thought they had
extinguished the fire. Two hours later,
however, the fire, which no doubt had
not been thoroughly subdued broke
out, and before it was discovered had
made considerab bic Roadway. An alarm
was sent from Park and Oregon, the
nearest box, and the department went
there. 1t had to move up to Broad
way, but it reached the fire before it
could do more than about $50 worth
of damage. Chemicals were used. Mrs.
Harrington conducts the boarding
house. which is owned by E. D. Elder
kin. 1t is thought that the fire started
from a candle that some one carried in
the closet while in search of garment.
1t is frame house, and would make a
brilliant blaze.

Visitors to Crystal Springs are treat
ed to a very novel sight these days. A
new well is being sunk to obtain a
greater supply of water, and the pro-
cess is a very interesting one. The
method is the same as is employed in
sinking oil wells in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, the old walking beam engine
being in opera ton daily. To see the
machinery working is well worth a
trip to the springs.
