QUEER COMPANIONS.
Fire Compe1s Wild Beasts and Cattle
 to Herd Together.


 to Herd Together.
 An incident of the forest fires in the hllls of the Descanso neighborhOOd in Southern California illustrates the comradeship that common peril brings about among beasts, as we'll as among men. After the flames had completed their work of destruction and spread pail over the hills, rancher went forth among the charred stumps and smOk- ing brush heaps to look for q number of cattle and colts, which he feared had been hemmed in by the fire. He went across gully and ridge in his search, until at last he saw his stock some little distance ahead. He was more than astOnished upon coming up to the group to find not only his cattle and colts, but deer, three wildcats, a coyote and several rabbits, all alive, and apparent ly in no fear of him. They watched his approach with indifference, the timid- lty gone from the big-eyed deer, no esty shining in the gray coyotes face. The rabbits sat on their launches. as meek as the pets of children. But the poor coyote was in pain, and as the farmer came close the erstwhile robber of the roost dragged his helpless hind quarters toward the man in mute sup plication. The legs of the animal had been frightfully burned.
 The rancher was in no mood to make friends of such strange creatures, and at once drove his stock through the smOldering brush, the deer going along with the cattle, the rabbits hop ping along at the rancher's heels, the wildcats slOuching along behind, and the coyote, unable to follow, whining a pathetic appeal for succor. When the burning field was passed the deer broke into run for the distant hills, the rab- bits were away like a flash, and the old defiance and snarling leer came back to the wildcats, who scOrned to make a show of haste. They walked slowly out of sight-San Diego Union.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA.
Three Steamers Didn't Understand 1t, but the Prince of Monaco Knew.

Three Steamers Didn't Undersfand
 1t, but the Prince of Monaco Knew.
 The Prince of Monaco has been known since 1885 as an enthusiastic student of the sea and it's various forms of life He usually spends his summers in the study of oceanographic problems. and his cruises have on some occasions been extended almost to the coasts of Amer ica. He delivered lecture before the Royal Geographical society in London fin which he told this incident:
 One afternoon, while in the bay of Biscay. he sank the trap in which he collected specimens of sea life. It went to the bottom in over 12, 900 feet of water. and as night approached he fas- tened to the wire attached to it an cleo tric buoy and then stood off mile or so. It did not happen to occur to him that he was right in the track of steam CTS plying between northern Europe and the Mediterranean, but he was re- minded of the fact later
 As he and his 14 sailors were watch ing with a good deal of satisfaction the swaying buoy with its brilliant illu- imitation a steamers lights came into view 1t was soon evident that the steamer was curious to know the mean ing of the illumination. for she altered her course and made for the light. She knew that no fishing boats came out so far from land and so determined to solve the mystery. Up she came to within quarter of mile of the buoy. slowed up for minute, and then start ed ahead. perhaps little disgusted at the incident that had lured her several miles out of her course.
 She had hardly got away when sec ond steamer came into view, and she. too. bore down upon the lighted buoy The marines on the princes vessel un- derstood by this time that the illumina- tion was probably believed to be evi- dence of a disaster Just as the princes steamer was moving up to explain mat ters she was nearly run down by one of the large liners in the oriental trade. which had also left her course to render what assistance she could.
 Inc SNeu was very Hed'y' dnu Gue prince feared collision as the three vessels approached the light like moths around candle. He therefore veered off and the other vessels. after standing by for a few minutes. went on their way and probably never learned the cause of that nights illumination at sea.
 But the incident gave the prince a pointer He carefully refrained there after from exhibiting his electric buoy on any of the much travelled ocean routes. New York Sun

Praise for American schools.
