MAN-EATlNG LIONS.
Acurther Facts About Their Ravages
Among Railroad Builders
I'm East Africa.

Some further facts have been received
about the man-eating lions which made
such panic among 1000 Indian coolies
working on the Uganda railroad few
months ago. 1t appears that the first
time the laborers knew anything about
Hons that make a business of killing
men to eat was one day when one of
the brutes, in broad daylight, as the
laborers were strung along the line
with shovels in hand suddenly sprang
in among them, crushed one poor fell
lows skull with a terrible blow of his
paw and manned another so badly that
he could not get away. OF course, all
the Mortified workmen took to their
heels and raised the alarm at the camp
mile away. The district engineer and
his assistant at once went to the spot
but the lion had disappeared, leaving
all Of the two bodies he could not eat
at one meal.
After that an armed guard was kept
along the line of work, but it made lit
tie difference to the animals that We're
determined to have men to eat. They
would spring like flash out of the
Jungle, seize a man and bear him of
beyond pursuit. Two days after thC
first man was killed another man was
taken, and the next day another dis
appeared, and within a fortnight Il
men had been seized, all from one camp
The third week brought the list of vic
Tins up to IS. The sixteenth victim
was one of the coolie overseers, hug

morning, and just as he was givinI
some instructions a lion sprang upol
him and dealt him a terrible blow OF
the head, crushing the skull. Then b.

The Young Man Was Aroused at the

Engagements.

He told the shop assistant that he
wanted to purchase something that
would be a suitable present for a young
lady, says Tit-Bits.
The clerk brought out albums, books,
gold pens and pencils and card cases,
but nothing seemed TO suit. AS the last
resort he showed the young man an en-

ments for each day of the week.
"Quite the fad now" he explained, as
he displayed the calendar. IAN the

the shop assistant. "shell find it in

JOKE ON A SPANISH SKIPPER.
lie Was shown the American FASH
ION Of Loading Vessel
with Grain.

"About four years ago" said the
superintendent of one of Buffalo's grain
elevators, "while was in charge of an
elevator in Baltimore, a small brig ran
up to the elevator to take on a load Of
wheat. The captains name was Dom
cello. He was a Spaniard and for ten
or twelve years had traded around in
eastern ports. He had never seen a
grain elevator and his idea Of loading
grain into a vessel was that it was shov
eled in by hand, as it was years ago:
He found me and in his gruff way said:
81 want to put in $4,000 bushels of
wheat, and l don't want TO lay around
here a week or two. See if you can't
get me out of here in two days anyhow
81 smiled, said that / would try, and
gave orders a minute later to get the
brig up in position, where we could as
sail her in good shape. The captain
went to his berth TO sleep for it was
nearly midnight then. We snugged the
little craft up against the wharf,
opened her matches and inserted three
full-sized 'spouts leading from we'll
filed bins in the top Of the elevator
All the employees understood what the
joke was to be and they decided to break
a record. Everything was ready for the
loading a half hour after Capt Dom
cello went to his berth, but we had con-
cluded to let him get fast asleep before
going on with the joke.
1T was an hour and half after the
captain had disappeared that the power
was turned on and a second later thou
sands of bushels of grain went rushing
from the bins into the hold of the little
craft. The boat listed heavily for a
moment and threatened to overurn,
but the grain slid over to the center and
righted the ship. Down rushed the
grain through the three spouts. You
could hear the roar for a thousand feet.
Seven minutes after the power was
turned on the power was turned off,
The $4,000 bushels had been paid out
and Capt. Doncelo's boat was setting
pretty low in the water. About this
time the captain appeared on deck in
his night shirt.
"'To the pumps' he shouted in Span
ish in his loudest tones.
THE crew was on deck In a minute
and Capt Doncelo fitted about like a
paper man in wlndstorm. Spying me
on the wharf laughing, he accosted me
"'What is the matter that my boat
sinks at her docllT he asked.
"'She's not sinking, guess. Yor
said you wanted TO get out Of here IL
less than a week and we loaded your
boat for you in a hurry.
"The captain looked at me queerly
stepped over to the hatchway anC
looked at the heap of golden grain il
the hold. He was amazed, to say tn,
least. He remained in port long enough
to have the mystery explained, and 4
good wind prevailing, he set out. He
had lain just two hours at the dock. -

ALL COMING HERE
Rich American Collectors Are Fast

Hare hooks.

American book collecting million
aires are rapidly denuding this coun-
try Of her oldest and most precious
volumes. Two years ago the great
Shakespearean collection formed by
Mr.. Halliwell-Phillips the biographer
of the bard, passed into the possession
of Martin J. Perry, of Rhode Island.
A short time ago the most extensive
collection Of works from which Shakes
peare is believed to have drawn inspira-
ton for many of his plays, or in which
references were made to him, ever got
together met with similar fate. They
were actually catalogued for sale by
the open market, but the deep-pursed
collector from America stepped in and
made an offer for the collection en- bloc,
which proved irresistible. And now one
of the choicest libraries in the hands
of a private English collector has been
transferred to the United States. The
late James Toovey, of Piceadilly, was
an enthusiastic yet judieious biblio-
phile, whose particular hobby may be
said to have been productions OF the
early English printers. His library was
particularly rich in these works, two
of the greatest treasures being a fine
copy of the extremely rare "Bole OF
st. Albans," and the magnificent speei-
men Of the first folio Shakespeare which
at one time belonged to Sir Robert Sid
ney. earl of Leicester. All these works,
together with the many splendid ex-
amples of bindings by the most eminent
masters Of France, Italy and England
which found a place IN the library, lnve
been sold to wealthy American by

HOW DIAMONDS ORIGINATED


DISCOVERY THAT SEEMS TOl
THROW LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
The origin of diamonds, which for sol
long has been a debated question,
appears to be explained by a recent dis
coyery near Kimberley. In both the In
dian and the Brazilian diamond fields
the gem occurs like a pebble in certain
gravelly strata, but has not been traced
back to any rock that gives an indica-
tion of its genesis. After the discovery
Of diamonds in the river sand on some
South African rivers. a peculiar mate
rial of brownish buff color, which turn
ed TO a dark blush tint, was found. It.
became harder as the miners dug down.
THE diamonds lay in this material, to-
gether with several other minerals,
such as garnets, iron ores, augite, oil
vine. etc. Excavations-begun syste-
matically-were eventually carried on
such scale that near Kimberley they
have reached a depth of more than l.
400 feet Here the rock is about as
hard as ordinary limestone. The blue
ground is found only in limited areas.
The rocks found are of dark shades,
banded with hard limestone, in which
sheets or dikes Of basalt or some ma
terial which was once in a molten con-
dition are occasionally found. The blue
ground fills a sort Of shaft Of colossal
size in these other rocks, and is itself
cut up by similar dikes. The opinions
Of geologists differ as to whether the
gems were produced where they now
lie OF have been formed of some vol
canic explosions It is thought that the
mystery has been at last cleared up.
About two years ago the manager of
a diamond mine near Kimberley pick
led mp a specimen in which smaller dia-
lmonds were imbedded in a garnet This
led to an investigation of various
lboulders. one of which was found to
contain diamonds The rock is of the

WHIPPING CHILDREN.

Professor Earl Barnes, an eminent
English gentleman Of scientific mind, is
interesting his fellow citizens by lee
turing upon corporal punishment of
children. He has carefully interrogated
over 5000 school children OF All ages
from 6 to is years, and finds that the
Younger pupils almost invariably die
tate whipping as a punishment. His
method was to state a case Of offense
upon the part of child and TO ask the
interrogated pupil what the punish
ment should be, There were almost no
omissions to answer, Il would whip,"
until the Investigator reached pupils
over - years old From that age up
ward the whippings prescribed were
more and more frequently dispensed
with in favor Of other correctional
means.
From these facts Mr.. Barnes, very
strangely. concludes that corporal pun
ishment is the best, being, as he thinks
the natural punishment The conclu-
son is not we'll based The instinct OF
the child is first the animal instinct
and. second. a result of generations OF
heredity. The development Of knowl-
edge concerning the nature Of children
is not yet great. although now greatly
advancing. We now understand much
better than in the past the effect oi
heredity; and we comprehend mucl
more clearly the moral effect that man.
agement of children has upon them.
No fact in the premises is clearer ol
hetter determined than the fact tha
the youngest prattler among infants il
capable of reasoning TO a certain ex
tent. and does reason concerning thu
things that impress t.
Domineerlng dictation only arouse
resentment, being naturally regardc'
as an injustice Beating never con
vinces. It may deter through a pru
dent dislnclination to suffer; but tn
restraint Of fear begets a disposition
for vengeance and the moral effect Il
unwholesome. whipping Is remem
bered with anger only. A lecture ac
companied by calm and urgent reason
ing in kind words Is recalled more fre
quently and the reasoning Is rohecte
upon; and the moral effect Is whole
some.
In reviewing Mr.. Barnes lecture Cur
rent Literature for October says:
