trail electrical plant is necessary,
where coal would have to be stored
and steam used. Wires can be put
up where even a burro could not
travel with q pack, so that there is
practically no limit to the extent with
which electricity can be utilized.

One Discharge Kills Two Tigers,


An extraordinary shooting adven.
ture is recorded by A. j.. Butler, o.
the State Museum, Selangor, Malaga.
One day in last July a Malay woodcut.
ter went out into the jungle to cut
fuel, taking with him an old single.
barreled, muzzle-loading gun, loaded
with the rather unscientiic charge of
a bullet and four buckshot. Moving
quietly through the jungle, he sudden
~ came upon a tiger feeding on the
cancass of 9 sambhur, and, with touch,
ing confidence in his weapon, fred at
a distance Of twenty PAGES. The tiger
rolled over, and, when the Malay eau,
tiously approached, he found not ons
dead tiger, but two, the second hav-
ing been hidden from the sportsman,
though only a few feet distant from
the animal he fred at. Mr.. Butler.
who made p~ost-mortem examination
Of the tigers after they had been
skinned, found that in each case a
single buckshot had gone to the heart;
one had also an insignificant wound
IN the head from another pellet. "For
areally appealing fuke," as Mr.. But.
Ter says, this achievement of the Malay
woodcutter will be hard to beat. II
certainly is not a performance any sane
white man will try to parallel, much
less to eclipse.-London Sketch.

The activity in the steel and iron
market is q natural result of increased
consumption. One form that this de-
mand has taken is for the manufao-
ture Of steel cars, which are needed
by the railroads in anticipation of the
great movement Of freight during the
coming months. The fact that orders
for $40, 600, 600 worth of these cars
have been booked and that the steel
that enters into their construction
will cost during this year about $5,-
000, 900 is an impressive evidence Of
the tremendous volume of traffic that
agriculture and manufacture will sup
ply to the common carriers. If rates
fair to the shippers and reasonably
profitable to tie railroads can be
maintained, there need be no surprise
that capital should seek investment
in railway stocks and bonds.
