BIION KINGS
LORDLY COMBAT
Pets Of New York Zoo
Fight for leadership Of
Herd

New York, Sept. Elm the presence
of a thoucand spectators two bun
buffaloes-Brown Beauty and Antonio
fought lordly battle in the range
OF the geological park in the Bronx
this afternoon. Antonio fell desper-
a.ely wounded and Brown Beauty is
king Of the herd
It was a hard struggle Of the giants
and whIe it lasted 0ae other buffaloes,
with one exception, stood at a respect
full distance to watch the combat. The
exception was Bonita, the mate Of
Brown Beauty Fearing for her lord
and master she tried to aid him in the
fight. but he did not need her assist
ance.
To those who know the ways of the
buffalo this struggle was not unex-
pected. In the park are two full
grown buffaloes and two calves. Their
range is in the south eastern part Of
the geological garden. Among the
buifaloes, as among all the animal
families, there is one king. Brown
Beauty has been king, but Antonio
asplred to the throne.
Ambition Of Antonio.
Nearly all the buffaloes were OBJ
tained from Buffalo Jones" an AMI
NAL dealer who makes his headquart
ers in Oklahoma and is known from
the Rio Grande to the Platte. Brown
Beauty and Antonia have been 10 cap
tivity two years. Until recently there
was no dispute in the herd as to the
leadership
Antonio OF late years has shown
spirit of impatience and agressiveness
he never displayed before. There
have been grumblings and low below
ings in the buffalo herd for the las
two weeks-the thunder before thu
storm-and the COWS and the calves
have been uneasy and fretful, for the.

It was 2 O'Clock in the afternoc

ed. The sound Of the crash as the
two big bulls came together could be
heard a long distance, Their horns
locked and they bent their backs in
a mighty effort to force each other
back or get an opening for another
move. The believing Of the bulls as
they struggled was heard a half mile
away. The other animals took mp the
cry and the park resounded with the
growls OF the beasts.

ants. The bulls we're too intent upon
their own affairs to pay any attention
to the proddings from the keepers, but
the move Of the two men seemed to be
considered by Bonita as detrimental
to Brown Beauty, and she dashed out
from the herd and made for the plat
eau to join in the strife. Both keepers
had to abarison the effort to separate
the bulls and turn their attention to
Bonita. Reluctantly and with many
attempts to evade them she was forced
back.

Telegraph Wires Are Said to Be I'm

Telegraph Wires Are said TO BE I'm
failing Weather Prophets
According 10 DR.. Eydam, a German
physician. there are no more reliable
weather prophets than telegraph wires.
This novel discovery was made by him
IN the following manner: As he was
waiting for a train at a country station
he heard a shriu sound. which was
made by the wind as il passed through
a network Of nearby wires At once
the doctor remembered that he had fire.
quently heard a similar sound either
Immediately before or after a storm
or q heavy fall OF rain or snow. and il
naturally occurred to him 10 Try and as
certain between the sound and such
changes in the weather.
As a heavy shower OF rail fell within
tOrty-eight hours after he had heard the
sound al the railroad station he con
cluded that there was such a connec-
ZION. and he then determined to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly. As a re
suit he now maintains. first. that any
unusual disturbance in the telegraph
wires IS an infalllb,e indication OF had
weather. and second. that the nature OF
the changes in the atmosphere may be
( learned from the sound which the wind
makes when passing through the wires.
Thus a deep sound. he says, which IS
Of considerable or medium strength,
T indicates that there viii be slight show
( ers OF rain with moderate winds within
I from thirty TO forty-eight hours. and,
on the other hand. a sharp. shrin sound
Is the sure token Of a heavy storm
which viii be accompanied by much
rain or snow.
