GREAT JAW POWER OF ANIMALS.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Not every one in Chicago has been
bitten by a dog, a cat or other animal
whose weapons of offense and defense
are their teeth, and consequently has
not lived in dread of hydrophobia or
lockjaw or blood poisoning. Still fewer
among our citizens have any compre-
hension of the great power required to
inflict the wounds that all have heard
Of even though they have not expe-
rienced them. The teeth, even of the
largest carnivora, are merely the
"spearheads:" but the force which
works these instruments is prodig
ious. 1t seems as if for the moment
the animal threw all it's bodily energy
into the combination of muscular ac-
ton which we call a bite" In most
cases the mere shock of impact. as the
animal hurls itself on its enemy, is en-
tirely demoralizing or inf1icts physical
injury. A muZzled mastiff will hurl
man to the ground in the effort to
fasten his teeth in his throat or Shout
der. Then, the driving and crushing
force of the jaw muscles is astonish-
ing. The swapping power of an nlli-
gators jaws is more or less intelligible.
They are long and furnished with
row of pointed teeth from end to end.
But the jaws of lion, leopard, tiger,
otter. ferret or baboon are short and
the long and pointed teeth are few.
Yet each of their species has a biting
power which in proportion to Its size is
almost incredible.
Sir Samuel Baker. who had long
and varied acquaintance with the bites
of the carnivora, noticed that the tiger
usually seized an Indian native by the
shoulder and with one jaw on one side
and the other on the other bit clean
through the chest and back. The
fatal wound was the bite. which,
through back and chest, penetrated
the lungs" Europeans are killed by
the tigers bite as well as lacerated by
the claws. A Mr.. Lawes, son of mis-
sonary of that name, was killed after
being shaken for few moments by
tigress. which then left him. He died
next day. In nearly all cases the bite
penetrates to the lungs. This kind of
a wound is characteristic of the at
lacks of many of the felidae. Scarcely
any bird RECEIVERS from a cats bite for
the same reason. The canine teeth are
almost instantly driven through the
lung. under the wing. The cheetah,
which has a very small mouth, always
bites through the black bucks throat.
The leopard. when Selling smaller ami
mails, such as dogs, brushes the head:
when attacking men it aims at biting
through the lungs.

Interview with a King.

From the Youths Companion.
An eX-minister to Greece from this
country, Mr.. Fern, recently told a story
to illustrate the simplicity of manners
in the court at Athens
Commodore -, then captain Of
the United States navy, was few
years ago in command of a war ship at
Athens. He was an extremely modest
shy man. who avoided all society but
that of the family of the minister. who
had long been his friends. One day he
came in, and with a look of annoy
ance produced a card stamped with the
royal arms.
King George has asked me to din
ner" he said. such nonsense! What
shall / do at a royal banquet"
You will enjoy the dinner" his friend
said King George is a man worth
knowing, on or off the throne"
We'll, l can't go. I'll decline. l
have another engagement
THAT does not matter. You must go.
A royal invitation is a command
The captain grumbled. but his friend
laughed. Come and tell us about the
banquet when it is over" they said.
The morning after the dinner the cap
tain appeared with beamng counter
ance. Il am amazed" he said. Il was
ushered into parlor where a pleasant,
intelligent looking man was sitting,
with one child on his knee and another
beside him. He shook hands as cor
daily as any American gentleman
| would have done.
"'These are my children he said
We are telling riddles. Can you guess
riddles, captains?

applied. Mr.. Grossenbacher was much
concerned over the strange affair. "It
was that kissing bug, l think said ne.
Il have been bitten by horseflies, mos
quitoes, flying ants and bedbugs, but
none Of them left any such mark as
this. 1t was a bite Of some kind The
swelling spread all over the left cheek

aroused from a sound sleep, and ;he
pain increased. 1t must have beea
about 1890 or II o'clock this morning.
The pain is still here, but you see the
swelling has gone down considerably.
The lip Vas still very large.
The lady lives only about two blocks
distant from the Swiss Home. and it is
probable that the same insect did
both jobs.
The journals of the East have i'm
Irortalized the kissing bug in song,
poetry and prose. Some readers have
concluded that the whole controversy
has sprung from a josh, while science
looks at it in a more serious light. 1t
might be well for Butte citizens to be
on the lookout for strange looking,
winged insects, and if one is soon the
doctors of Butte would be grateful for
it's capture, dead or alive, alive pre-
ferred.

Bowling Will Be the Society Fad
This Fall.
GRAND RECEPTION DAY
The I. A. Heilbronner's New Cigar En-
porium the Grandest in the West.
Every Lady Visitor Presented
With Carnations To-Day,

To-day there will be opened to the
public, at No. 90 East Broadway, the
finest and most deliberately fitted up
cigar and smokers emporium west of
the city of Chicago. In the construc-
ton of this establishment the l. A.
Heilbronner Cigar company has spared
no expense to the end that it shall
eclipse any similar enterprise in the
West
The fixtures. both for the store and
the perfect bowling alley in the base
ment, are from the celebrated Bruins
wick Bake -Collender company of Chi
cago, whose special representative, Mr..
P. ]. Riddell, superintendent their con-
struction and installation at an eX-
pense of nearly $4,000.
The woodwork is of antique English
oak, and with an imposing front of
double folding, rich plate glass
doors, recesses of elegant mirrors,
odernly-constructed show cases, lux
urious leather couches and a GROWING
background of beautiful grill work and
mirrors, all lighted up by a myriad of
incandescent lights, the place presents
an appearance which courts the adj
miration of all. The dark woodwork is
relieved by an artistic ceiling and
border in light and varied colorS.
In the basement is located two bowl
ing alleys of regulation size, complete
in every detail of modern improvement.
To this portion of the establishment
the ladies are extended a cordial invi-
tation to exhibit their skill in a game
which promises to be the society fad.
Every accommodation is provided for
their comfort and a side entrance rs
reserved for them.
The reputation of the I. A. Hebron
ner Cigar company for handling only
first-class goods precludes any neces-
sity of mention on this point. and he
who fails to find in this stock the brand
of the weed producing the most pleas
ing reveries will be the man who finds
no good in anything.
Lady visitors to-day will be presented
with handsome carnation bouquets.

KISSING BUG IN BUTTE
Two Claims Staked Out by the
Terrible Insect.
A BUREAU ESTABLISHED
John Grosssnb lcher Is One OF the
Victims-Lips Swollen-Intenss
Pain - Hunt Tor the
Bug Started.

The kissing bug has arrived in Butte.
An emissary from the Jersey realm
of osculatory agitation has set his pegs
in the greatest mining camp on earth
and so far two claims have been staked
out by the terrible insect.
1t is probable that the emissary
brought along with him a companion,
for there are two cases of badly swollen
lips in town, one man and one woman.
However, one bug might have done
both jobs.
Yesterday morning John Grossen-
bacher proprietor of the Swiss Home,
corner of Arizona and Mercury, re-
tired after working until o'clock. AT
IL o'clock he awoke with singing
sensation on the left side of the lower
lip He brushed his hand over the af-
iected spot, but felt no abrasion, and
dismissed the thought of being injured.
The pain increased and half an hour
later he got up and dressed. His lip
then was swollen to a great extent. He
rushed up to DR.. Loebinger's office and
explained as briefly as possible the
cause of his visit.
The doctor, who has read the extend
ed accounts of the dOfngs of the mys-
FERROUS bug in New York and New Jer-
say. concluded at once that if the bug
We're not in Butte, something very SINH
lar TO it is doing business here.
There was no mark on the lip, which
was as large as an orange. Inc pa
tient was suffering intense pain. Tho
doctor applied an antisepuc and the
patient returned to his ROOM
A reporter for the Standard called
upon the doctor yesterday afternoon
and the above facts were related to
HIM The doctor said: From what l
have heard of this strange insect and
its kissing propensities, / am led to
believe that it has established a bu-
reau in Butte. The patient was suffer
ing. evidently. from the effects of a
sting of some insect"
DR.. Loebinger startled the reporter
with the information that he had also
received a call from a lady just before
Mr.. Grossenbacher and his lip arrived.
Yes. sir; it does look strange. The
lady, who does not want her name men,
toned IN connection with the kissing
bug, was suffering from the Same
cause. Her lower lip was badly swol-
len. She was awakened shortly after
midnight by a sharp pain in the lip.
She. as did the man, tried to shake off
the thought, but it wouldn't shake. The
pain increased and the lip swelled out
of all proportion"
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a Stand
ard reporter called at the room of Mr.
GrossenbaCher The patients lip wa;
still very large, but not so immense Z!

A New Use for Beer.

At the Richelieu hotel in New YORK
last week there was temporary water
famine, during which, after exhaust
ing all the mineral water in the house
for shaving purposes, beer was pressed
into service as a last substitute, and
was pronounced a very fine lather-mak-
ing liquid That was all right in New
York, but rather than debase the use
of Centennial beer for such purpose,
Montana gentlemen would remain un-
shayen for weeks. Centennial beer
is the finest on earth, and wins the
praise of the most fastidious palates.
