FRIGHTENED BY CIRCUS LION.
An Old Railroad Engineer In the West
Tells Of a Night Ride.


Dan Bcchtel, OF Bfookfold, tells
the kausG City Journal a story
about q night ride he once took with
a loose lion, which, as he says, tends
to make the goosehesh creep lit

engineer on the Hannibal a 81. Jo-

Bcchtcl saws he was Kidding the
fireman and head brakeman about
what would happen If some Of the
wild animals should get loose, when
he looked up and saw an old lion on
top Of the cars, moving slowly and
gingerly toward the engine.
when the brakeman and fireman
realized what was coming" says
Bcchtcl, they made a dive for the
cab door, and were soon riding on the
front of the engine. Mr.. Lion came

wARSHIPS OF NATIONS.
Something About Navies in General and
Germany's in Particular.

As the house of commons is the
mother of parliaments, 50 the Brit
ish navy is the mother Of fleets, de-
clares the London Mail. The Ger
nan navy is copy, but not slayish
copy, Of its English parent. The diff
ferences, though slight, are notice
able.
1t is a mistake to believe, as is
often alleged in British naval liter
allure, that the German navy is desti-
tute Of the Spit and polish" policy
which is so often attacked by naval
reformers. There is brasswork on
board German men-of-war, and the
brasswork is polished as rehgiously
as in British ships. The paint work
on the German ships as kept as care
fully as the paint work in the Brit
ish navy, but the paint is Of differ
ent color.
Vivid whites are avoided. The
battleships Of the Kaiser class are
now painted the same leaden color as
that Of the Baltic and the North sea.
The leaden slate hue Of the Ger
man battleships is admirably adapted
for concealing them on a cloudy day;
but the smoky coal used by the Ger
mans practically neutralized all adj
vantage to be derived from adopting
the protecting hues of the home wa
tiers in which they float The smoky
coal used by Germany in her war,
ships is the source of much search
ing Of heart in the German admiral
ty. The use of spirit and of oil fuel
is vigorously promoted by the kaiser
without whom nothing is done that
is done in the German navy.
The German battleship Of the flu
ture, it is said, will be without fun
nels, so as to secure an all-round fire
from the big guns; without bunkers
as there will be no coal; and with the
whole of the fuel for propelling pur'
poses contained in submarine tanks
Already engines Of ,000-horse pow

When Prince Henry's squadron
visited Ireland correspondent of
London newspaper declared that
on the quarterback of the Kaiser elias;
and elsewhere all over the ships 'the
men walk on linoleum, which gives q
good tread, is silent and is kept clear
easily" As a matter of fact, the uss
of linoleum has been discarded OF
board every ship of the Kaiser class
with the exception of Kaiser vii

The Army Medal of Honor.

The much-coveted medal Of honor
bestowed on officers and enlisted men
of the army for exceptional acts of
personal heroism, is five-pointed
star of bronze, tipped with trefoil,
each point containing a crown of
laurel and oak. In the center within
a circle Of 81 stars, America person
flied as Minerva, stands with her left
hand resting on the fasces, while with
her right, in which she holds shield
emblazoned with the American arms,
she repulses Discord, represented by
two snakes in each hand. The whole
is suspended by trophy Of two
crossed cannons, balls and a sword
surmounted by the American eagle.

THE WIZARD FARMER. q
A Californian Who Makes a Fortune from
a Single Plant.

Luther Burbank, the California
Wizard of Horticulture" is a scien-
tist-farmer who makes the eyes of all
other tillers Of the soil open wide
with wonder. HE'S breeder of plant
and tree life and by his art he can in
five or six years add more bushels OF
wheat to an acre than the ordinary
farmer can in so years, says the New
York World.
Burbank studies chiefly combina-
tons, the blending of species and va
rieties by cross pollenation. His mys-
tilted neighbors say he plants extern
sive gardens and nurseries one year,
only to pull them all up the next year.
But he sells one tree out Of the num-
Der for more m~ney than they make
out of all their fields together. He
plants seeds like the ants for number
and out of the resultant seedlings,
when they fruit, he is satisfied with
only half dozen.
The European walnut has been
known to produce single tree that
sold for $4,000 Won Muller; but
Burbank was not content with that
and believes he has improved the in
comparable grain of the wood by
crossing it with the American and the
California walnuts.
Downing believed that crosses
such as Burbank makes might often
effect an advance of 20 to 80 years in
the amelioration of fruit.
DR.. Nilsson, of Sweden, however,
never yields to this temptation to
splendid amalgamation. He believes
in a return to the primitive type,
purging it of all the mongrel strains
and handicaps, purifying it originally
down to prototype originated by ma
ture. He finds that every blend in
a cereal impairs its vitality; all sorts
that are mixtures of several strains
are invariably of inferior quality. Al
mongrel between a bearded and a
non-bearded variety of wheat is a dis
tinct deterioration from either.
An attache of the United States de-
partment of agriculture who visited
his seedfelds saw a IA acre field of
wheat of new variety so absolutely
uniform that all the joints in the
stalks were on a water-level across
the field, all being of the same elevs-
ton above the ground.
Such a comprehensive sweep and
grasp of the subject does he possess
that in a short survey he takes in a
whole field of grain, and if a single
plant departs from the type, that one
he selects for further planting.

A Swallows Flight.

1t has often been stated that 60
miles an hour was the utmost rate at
which swallow could fly. Recent
experiments between Compeigne and
Antwerp proves that a swallow in a
hurry can cover 1884 miles in an
hour.

)WADAYS, life is so highly spiccd that the idle
woman needs a fresh sensation every passing
hour; otherwise, she takes to good works, and is
aggreSsvely unpleasant over them. Perhaps
she gets most amusement out OF making
other women jealous; it is so easy. When a
woman regards one man her exclusive prop
erty, she does not like to see him even mo-
mentariy appropriated by another woman it
seems grasping. The professional jealousy
monger knows this by intuition, and has be-
come so deft at plying her art that in five min
utes she can establish the appearance of init
mate understanding with an engaged man, and
lure him momentarily away from his fancee.
A pretty woman very often has the same
effect on a man as white flag has on par

when I listened to Mayor johnson
l thought of how fortunate Ohio is in
having as one of her citizens man
who is brave enough to bare his breast
to the organized wealth Of the nation,
and to defy it to a contest upon his
own platform. If you had Johnson
in every state, plutocracy would be
driven into the Atlantic ocean, and
would never rise again. In all parts
of our country are men whose hearts
are true and who sympathize with the
cause of righteousness and justice. ALI
over the country are men who have
strong minds capable of entering the
struggle. And there are a few who
have the requisite moral courage. But
in no one except Mr.. johnson is there
the combination of neart. head and
moral courage necessary for the man
who will finally achieve the great vic
tory for the people against tyranny,
injustice and greed. (Applause) And
it is Ohio's great good fortune to have
this great leader as one of her citi-
zens. He Is a man who does not de-
pend upon argument or syllogism. He
does not rely upon rhetoric or fervid
oratory. He speaks with the accuracy
of mathematics and there is no gain
saying him.
