TIGERS ARE THEIR TERROR.
These Animals Are Dreaded by the
HindOos More Than Any Others
in the Jungle.

1t is in India that the ravages caused
by wild beasts and reptiles are most
marked. Not merely single towns or
villages, but whole districts, have in
times not far distant been converted
into deserts by the sudden advent of
unusual numbers of tigers or of
snakes. The former is especially de-
structive, and the facts set forth in
cold figures in government reports
concerning his depredations sound alb
solutely incredible, says Pearson's
Weekly.
Even single tiger which happens to
be confirmed man-eater will often
suffice to scare away entire popula-
tions. One Large male killed 1903 peo-
pie in three years and caused the
eventual abandonment of big cotton
factory, together with the model vii
lage it supported. Another killed an
average of about 80 persons per annum
for several years, and during a period
of famine SO completely closed the
roads leading to certain place that
four-ffths of the inhabitants persisted
of starvation. A third, so late as 1869,
killed 127 people, and stopped public
road for many weeks, until the oppor-
tune arrival of an English sportsman,
who at last shot him. A fourth caused
10 villages to be abandoned and $50
square miles of land to be thrown out
of cultivation.
Advent NJ AutOma nhac
There seems to be need of a term
to designate the new terrors Of our
streets, those speed-crazed parano-
iacs who are now doing so much to
bring :he automobile into disrepute,
says the Horseless Age. Various
terms are loosely applied, but a new
compound would be desirable. We
suggest the word ''automaniac, -
which is in harmony with several
well-known words of Greek deriva-
ton already rooted in the language
as descriptive of victims of diseased
and abnormal appetite (dipsomaniac,
kleptomariac), and conveys strong
and true picture of the mental state
of the worst Of these Offenders
against law and decency. l. 3s 81 rs

Queer Case of Man Who is Serving Two
Terms at the Same Time

ROME. y. Y. April Ga writ of habeas
corpus. which has beer issued in the case
of John Bender of Utica, raises a pc
culiar point of law. Bender is serving
life sentence in Auburn prison.
In quarrel. about fifteen years ago

convicted OF murder in the second dc
gree. After serving seven years he was
pardoned by Governor Flower on the
condition that if ever again convicted Of
felony he should go back to prison and
serve out the life sentence imposed for
the first offence.
Bender returned to Utica. and soon got
into a row and shot George l.. Barber.
He was convicted of assault in the first
degree and was sent back to Auburn to
serve FIVE years and eight months, and for
his life sentence.
1t is claimed by Bender's counsel that

Gilbert Smith, OF Bloomfield, y. J., had
a battle Saturday afternoon with black
snakes in the rear of the police station,
on Conger Street. He happened TO look

Smith seized his club and revolver and
sprang from the window. The snake saw
him coming and reared its head. full Of
fight, II tried TO coil itself about Smiths
leg. but he beat it off with his club. In
the meantime, he says, other snakes be-
gan to appear, until he was battling with
a dozen more or less. and for time
they made things exceedingly interesting.
Finally Chief Collins heard the racket
and went to Smiths aid. Between the
two. nine snakes were slaughtered. one

This total includes but Sl00 worth of dia-

The turquoise is found more extensively
in the United States than any other kind
of jewel. During the year 1901 there was
Sll5.000 worth OF turquoises found in this
country. The chief source of their supply
is in New Mexico. Several new COM

and there are now seven concerns en-
gagged in mining them and putting them
on the market.
Sapphire Holds Second Place.
Next to the turquoise the sapphire is
more largely produced than any other
