ANIMALS THAT SWIM.

Nearly all the ruminants are excellent
swimmers, and all take freely to the
water, except, perhaps, the wild sheep
and the camels.
Several animals, such as hedgehogs
and bats, which would, at first glance,
be considered incapable of swimming,
are in reality respectable performers.
Many of the islands of the southern
seas are now inhabited by Wild pigs,
which are the descendants of those
which have swum ashore, sometimes
great distances, from wrecked vessels,
says Pearson's.
OF pigs it is commonly reported that
so queerly fashioned are they that if
they attempt to swim they cut their
throats with their forefeet; but this
is only an old fable. Whether wild or
tame, they are all good swimmers,
though, owing to the shortness of their
legs, they just touch their throats with
their forefeet and beat the water high.
Camels cannot swim. They are buoy
ant, but Unbalanced, and their heads

be taught to swim rivers with the aid
OF goatskins or jars fastened under
their necks. During the Beluchistan
expedition of 1898 the camels were low
cred into the sea from the ships, and
their drivers, plunging overheard,
clambered on to the rear part of their
charges, causing the animals heads to
come up; and thus assisted they Msrs

noon shot and perhaps mortally
wounded A. J. Hunt near Randolph,
Tenn, and killed A. L. Brumley
shortly after shooting Hunt. 1t is
claimed that Wright sent word to
Hunt and a man named Booth that he
was going to kill them. Hunt had
gone to his stable to saddle his horse
to so to Randolph and communicate
with Sheriff Laderdale, when he was
shot in the back and right hip by
Wright. Wright Immediately went to
Booths house, and after killing Brum-
ley, disappeared in Sugar Creek bot
toms. 1t is supposed that Wright
mistoek Brumley for Booth. Hunt is
still alive, but his condition is critical.

Laid Waste by Devastating Tor
nado,

The most severe storm since the
opening of Oklahoma visited the ter
rtory Friday night. Its fury CEN
tured in a cyclone at about 6 80 p. IN ,
which formed near the Kansas state
line, and taking a southeasterly
course, was most disastrous in Kay
county. The town of Eddy was struck
aud every building in the place levelled
to the ground except the railroad sta
ton and elevator Flying lumber
was scattered for miles. Three per-
sons were killed and seven badly in
iured. Fine fields of wheat in the midst
of harvest were laid waste. The tail
end of the tornado fell with terrible
force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwell
ings and business houses were scat
tered like so much loose lumber. The
country below did not suffer much
from the storm except by washouts, a
stiff wind and hail, which damaged
wheat and fruit. The financial loss
is about 100000.
