HOW HE SCARED THE TIGER.
Bluff Played Successfully by an Un.
armed Traveller in India,

BUN Played successfully by an Un-
armed Traveller in India.
If not interfered with the tiger
will generally run from rather than
attack man. A writer from India
tells story of how, having sent his
guns and luncheon on before him, his
attention was arrested by rustic in
the jungle, and, looking that way, he
saw tiger crouching low coming rap
idly toward him. He says: my first
feeling was one of horror, for it
seemed all UP with me, the tiger being
very close and in rush. OF course
it was not me but the pony that he
wanted, but had he knocked out the
latter his own fears at finding a man
under him would have made him maui
me too. There was but one thing to
be done, namely, to put a bold front
on it and try to brighten him, and /,
therefore, instantly wheeled the pony's
head toward him shouting at the same
moment. The tiger stopped short and
stared at me, but he did not offer to
retreat. l then moved the pony to-
ward him shouting loudly as l did so,
| and the tiger then turned his tail to
me, and, having retired about thirty
yards, he sat bolt upright on his
launches and stared at me.
II was naturally DESTROYS of with
drawing from an interview so I'M
pleasant to me in my unarmed condi-

tiger, waving my arms and sternly
| ordering him off, and before I reached
him he decided to move himself, this
time somewhat hastily and in marked
contrast to his previous orderly, not
to say dignified, retreat, and, having at
last routed him ! lost no time il can

The Hudson river cannot be sp-
preached on either bank, from New
York to Troy, without crossing one or
more railroad tracks; yet the traffic
on the waters of this river exceeds
that of the entire system Of the Mis-
sissippi valley. The railroads have
built numberless cities, and so has
river traffic. Each benefits by con-
petition with the other. It is i'm
possible to state accurately the
amount of tonnage brought down the
lower Hudson by the fleets Of
schooners and barges plying between
New York city and the brickyards of
Haverstraw and the coal termini at
Newburg and other points. But the
government engineers estimate the
local traffic between Coxsackie aui
Troy at 100000 tons annually, and
that of the through traffic from AL
bany to New York at 10000, 900 tons.
These amounts possibly cover less
than half the total traffic on the river,
which some authorities place as high
as 100000 tons per annum.

AMERICAN RIVERS.
Some Thoughts on Our Neglected and

Some Thoughts on Our Neglected and
Prospective Inland Waterways.
Alexander Hume Ford In Forum:
While the last century belonged TO
the steam engine, the present seems
destined to bring the steamboat as a
means Of transportation to an equality
with the railroad train.
Incomplete government reports
place the annual traffic of the rivers OF
America at something over 10, 10000
tons. II lis, however, certainly more
than that figure. The total freight
traffic of the great lakes amounts 10
124,O00,0O0 tons; but as all of this
leaves one lake port to enter another,
the figures are divided by two, giving
the traffic on the lakes $4,000, 900 tons.
The river traffic, however, goes large
ly to, and comes from, the harbors Of
the sea coast, so that the same rule
cannot be applied. Probably 100000
900 tons would be a fair estimate Of
the tonnage Of our rivers. exclusive
OF the coast harbors and inland water
ways which are arms Of the ocean.
The average distance travelled by
freight on the lakes is S41 miles; on
the rivers probably not very much
more than $50; so that the mile ton
mage borne on the rivers Is probably
ore-fourth that Of the great lakes.
The mile tonnage Of the great lakes
amounts to forty per cent. OF the
total mile tonnage carried on the rail-
ways; that Of the rivers foots up an
other ten per cent; so that on the in

Arsenic.

The English victims of arsenic poi
son in beer now number more than
lis dead and more than 1000 i'll. The
area affected is confined within hun
dred-mile radius from Manchester, but
the panic among beer-drinkers has
spread almost throughout the whole
country. 1t has been completely es'
tablished that the cause of the poison
ing is arsenic in the sulphuric acid
used in the manufacture of glucose
which the English brewers employ in
place of malt and hops in making
cheap beer. The poison has thus far
been traced to only one establishment,
which supplied glucose sugar to sew
eral breweries in the Midlands and
the north. An analysis shows that
some beers sold in saloons contain
arsenic sufficient easily to kill any per,
sistent driiker, as much as onesixth
of a grain being found in a pint. The
fact that arsenic is a cumulative poi
son makes it more dangerous.-Popu

THE WORLD
OF SCIENCE.

Rev. F. Lewis Smith proposes the
employment of phosphorescence in
photography under circumstances
which do not permit of the use of
ordinary light-in the case of the re-
production of figures from rare books
which may not be allowed to be re-
moved from the library to which they
belong. The use of ordinary artificial
light is often prohibited in such cases.
Mr.. Smith proposes to coat piece of
cardboard with a phosphorescent sub
stance which is exposed to sunlight or
to the rays of an arc lamp. This is
placed at the back of the engraving
which is to be copied. Then in front
of the engraving or page a dry plate is
placed. The book is then shut for a
period of time regulated by the
thickness of the paper used in it's
pages. This will vary from IS to so
minutes. The plate is then placed in
the usual dark receptacle to await
development in the ordinary way.
If films be employed in place OF plates,
a whole series of reproductions may
be obtained from different engravings
in one book at the same time. Final
ly, if the phosphorescent card is
placed on warm surface, the time
occupied in exposure Of the plate may
be Observation-Disclosures.
Dust in the Air.
In the course of lecture delivered

to the number of dust PARTICLES which
the air may contain. Imam open Lon

while in yard in the center of Lon

The air was loaded to the extent OF
about 900 per cent. more in the city

An Early Georgia Monster.

party of hunters found in a mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun coun-
ty. Ga. n being nearly eight feet high
covered with BLUSH hair and having a
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those Of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious of
the approach of the men. This mon
ster seems, from old accounts. to have
been seen upon several occasions DUR
ing the next four years.
In 1916 a number of Adventures
from Virginia, most of them surveyors
working up the UNEMPLOYED portions Of
Georgia and the Carolinas, formed
themselves into a party for the express
purpose of capturing the uncanny be-
ing If possible. They secured the hills
and valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful to the starting
point.
The many tales told Of this extraordi-
nary being seem to have created quite
n stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
printed circular issued by a land COM
pany in 1915 says. 1.-THE climate of
Georgia is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive. and the danger of attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
sented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy of con-
Sideration."

sThe gates of the old estate of Wa
terloo have long since disappeared, and
the house is in ruins, but you drive be-
tween the posts which still mark the
entrance down a grass grown roadway
to the edge of this wonderful pond.
The water is only a few feet deep, and
the pond is scarcely a quarter of q mile
long. We stepped into a rowboat by
the dim light of q lantern, and in a mo-
ment, as the boat pushed off and the
oars broke the water into riprles, we
were surrounded by a sen of flame. The

of this phosphorescence is more like
