Frightening the Lions.

M. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have a wholesome fear of
African wolves, which hunt in packs,
and do not scruple to attack even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves, M. Foa tells
a story from his own experience. 1t
was a very dark night, so black that
trees could not be distinguished until
the travellers were close upon them.
Lions prowled about the party, one Of
them roaring from a point so close
as to have an alarming effect on the
nerves. The animals could not be
seen, but they could be heard ON all
sides. Reaching a tree, the men found
one of their comrades with rifle cooked
discover the whereabouts of the ami
mails, that could be plainly heard walk
ing among the leaves. A second man
was trying to relight a half-extin-
guished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness. At this point the ma
tive servant whispered the advice
to initiate the cry of wolves in
the distance. The party at once be-
gan barking and shouting, "Hu! III!
hui" in an undertone, as if the pack
were still at a distance, while the man
at the camp made the same well-imi-
tated cry. The effect was instantane-
Gus. There was the sound of a rapid
stampede across the dry leaves. The
lions decamped in a panic, driven or
by the supposed approach of a pack
of wolves. For the rest of the night
the party was undisturbed.

Readers of Dickens will recall the
cure for a cold used by Mrs. Nickleby,
n described by. the loquacious per-
son as most extraordinary. The rem
edy was first employed the day after
Christmas, and the middle of the fol-
lowing April the cold was gone. II
only one-half of the cure-alls proposed
by bills pending in congress and in
the state legislatures could be expected
to accomplish their purpose with like
magical efficiency!

In a New York hospital moving pic
lures have been made of epileptic pa
tients, as well as of persons affected
with locomotor ataxia. This is follow
ing the example set in Vienna, where
moving pictures have been made of eel
ebrated surgeons performing critical
operations. The purpose in both cases
is to enable students and practitioners
to study the peculiarities of diseases
and the methods of distinguished oper-
ators.

suggested as the cause OF the sudden
Frenzy of Elephants.
81 told you the other day about the
Sultan of Zanzibar's clock" said Rob-
ert Crawford, "but there was another
thing / heard of while in that country
which is not without interest. The
Sultan used to take me round to show
me the place and of what its trade con-
sisted. 1t is the greatest Glove raisirg
country in the world, and as such con-
veys comfort and courage to out be-
tween the acts theater goers the world
over. Other spices and cocoanAt rope
are also important features of their ex-
port trade. But in addition to the
sale of that which they raise within
their own borders their revenues are
largely increased by the trade in ivory.
Zanzibar is the greatest market for
South African ivory, which is brought
there in large quantities from the in
terror. This ivory is placed in large
warehouses, from which it is either
sold at once or else held therein for a
better market. The man in charge
of these warehouses was a very in
terestlng character-an expert in
ivory. He told me many curious things
about it, and among others propounded
the following theory as an explanation
of why elephants go mad and occa-
sionally run amuck: In the warehouse
were a pair of magnificent tusks, meas
ur1ng IA feet from tip to tip, which in
life must have been carried by a YER
if1 hIQ Goliath onnnn0 oIonho0&a TLo
expert in showing me these tusks
pointed out the fact that while one Of
the tusks was complete and 1awless,
the other was broken off at the point
and showed deep scratches and abra-
sions throughout it's length. Now
said he, If o will look heal the base
o will find a hole made by decay
that had struck into the nerves and
given that elephant a toothache, and
think what a toothache of toothaches
a fourteen-foot tooth must have held.
In his efforts to relieve this pain the
elephant rubbed his tusk against rocks
and trees and drove it into the earth,
which mutilated it in the manner you
see here. I have frequently come across
places where an elephant has ripped
up great spaces in a forest and torn
down trees, and 1 Am positive that
toothache was the cause of this frenzy.
An elephant in a circus going suddenly
mad and killing his keeper is not an
uncommon thing, but I'll wager hat
in nine cases out of ten if they would
properly investigate the matter they
would find that the brute's sudden
frenzy sprung from so ordinary a
cause as common, everyday tooth
ache. New York Tribune.

DR.. Thomas Wilson Of the United
states National Museum, discussing
some of the problems of American an
t~hropology, points out among the Pc
culiarities yet unexplained, that a
fringe of country lying between the
coast range and the Pacific contains
Al greater number of stocks, or families
Ct Indian languages than all the rest
III North America combined. The ar
cow and spear-heads of the Pacific
:soast are notably different from those
~ other parts of the country. Pottery,
although made by neighboring peoples
az Mexico and in the Pueblo county,
Was absent from the arts of the Pacific
coast, while, on the other hand, the
finest specimens of basketry perhaps
in the world, either in ancient or mod
ern times, are to be found in Califor-
MIA. Doctor Wilson regards the IA
nous Calaveras skull as a genuine
relic of ancient man on the Pacific
slope.

Steps are being taken to preserve the

Steps are being taken to preserve the
famous C~alaveras grove of big trees,
which will probably pass into the
hands of a large lumber firm which
has secured an option on this famous
California grove. 1t is the intention of
the new possessors to build large saw
mills in Calaveras county, and they
will then turn all of the large trees,
which have been made one of the
points of interest to visitors, into lum-
Der, unless some immediate steps are
taken to ave them. Various clubs and
associations in California are doing
their best to save the great trees, which
are famous all over the world. 1t is
urged that a national park such as has
been established in Mariposa n Tu-
lare counties would be most desirable
at this point.

A few years g a landowner made
his neighbor tear down and rebuild a
four-story block because it o~verreached
six inches into the next lot. A still
selfish contention concerns the
pr~oprietorship of five inches of space
three hundred feet above the sidewalk.
The bringer of the suit declares that a
nelghboring cornice projects five inches
owe his W modest roof, and he
claims large damages therefor. For
once Doctor Hale's look up and not
down" seems at fault. Thackeray's
irony is more apt: IF your neighbours
foot obstructs you, stamp on it,; and
do you suppose he won't take it away?'

Several members of the Chicago
board of trade have been indicted by
the federal grand jury for d~efrauding
country patrons. This is a wholesome
sign. Only a few years ago it was es-
teemed a great honor to ever possess
the aroma of the board. The thought
that a member could be convicted Of
fraud never troubled anybody. Today
members of the board who induce
others to lose money in fictitious trans
actions are prosecuted like ordinary
criminals.

Sir John Murray in a recent address
drew a vivid picture of the time, in
the remote future, when temperatures
as low as those which Professor Dewar
produces in his experiments at the
Royal Institution will prevail all over
the earth. The atmosphere and the
oceans will then have disappeared
within the rocky crust Of the globe,
their elements having entered into
new combinations. In other words, to
use Sir John Murray's expression, the
waters Of the ocean will have become
solid rock" But over their surface
will roll the raves of a new and most
wonderful sea, IAN ocean OF liquid air
about forty feet in depth" At that
time, of course, life al we know it will
have vanished from the earth.

A bill recently passed by the Ohio
Legislature provides that in the abb
sence of a contract agreement, women
shall be paid the same wages as men.
In the attempt to enforce a similar

case of both men and women, are reg
ulated by something more powerful
than legislation: to-wit. conspicuous

The remark is often made that the
winter of 1S99-1900 has been, in a great
part of the country, bad for some
branches of business because of it's
mildness and dryness. The statement
is quite undeniable, since business"
practically means the spending of
money, and not the saving of it.

1.-THE Democratic administrations of the
city Of St Paul have accomplished deeds
of which the city may well be prAud. And
through these works were Republicans.
Not present day Republicans, but men
who represent the solidity which cannot
be found in that party today except in
the rank and file. Men: such as w. D.
Cornish, Judge Kerr, w. II. Sanborn,
stalwart men, honest citizens broad
minded gentlemen. These and others of
equal superiority over the best that par
ty can give as leaders today, worked with
of the city are the result (Cheers and
enthusiastic applause)
II need bring forth no stronger argu-
ment for the present city ticket than to
say that it represents the party which
has done these things.

No wonder the Republican leaders

night of the giant political demonstra-
lion at the Auditorium. There Is only
one other city west of the Allegheny
mountains that ever did or can summon
such meeting in the name of any po-
itieal party during municipal campaign.
II is an easy thing to juggIe with figures
as relates to political meeting, but there
were 1900 voters at the Auditorium last
night. This Is allowing for a fair pro-
portion of women. 1t is not often that
1000 of the best people OF st. Paul turn
out at night to a partisan political meet
ing, and that is the reason why the pol
lticians who attended the meeting at
once concluded that there is great re-
vulsion of feeling, and that the voters
were alive to the fact that a campaign in
behalf of good government and the ad-
ministration of city affairs by experience
Rd and competent men is in progress. The
audience was composed of mature ard re-
