CHARACTERISTICS ct the Beasts When
IN Captivity.
An animal is almost as ..emonstra-
dive when he is hungry as when he is
in q rage. They are both natural
feelings, and he sees no reason for
disgusting them. Human beings. who
are affected IN the same way as ami
mails BY hunger, pay tribute to civili-
eation by not letting this appear. At
IN animal show in New York the wild.
occupants Of the cages get very wild
when the hour comes for them to be
ted. A truck laden with meat and
vegetables is. wheeled around. Long
before it gets to their cages the lions
act as Il beside themselves over the
maddening prospect of food. The
cages are very small, and yet a lion
and Honess will often be In one. They
tear from one side to the other. the
lion jumping over the body of the
iioness, rather than make q longer

have learned that each will get q

As the night shift went to work sat
urday evening in the tunnel OF the
Canadian Power Co, at Niagara Falls,
discovery was made of an attempt to
wreck the tunnel and kill the men, 80
in number, working 100 feet below the
surface Of the earth.
The shaft leading down to the tunnel
is 1Go feet deep. From the bottom or
the shaft the tunnel runs north ana
south and men work at both headings
The blasts are discharged by means or
batteries which are operated ut the
foot of the shaft, the wires extending
to tie headings.
One of the ''nipper'' boys discovered
that one of the batteries had been
cut and cartridge cap connected
and placed i'm stick of dynamite. The
stick of dynamite had been placed be-
tween two boxes of dynamite contain
ing - pounds of the material. Had an
explosion occurred the havoc wrought
would have been fearful. No motive
can be ascribed for the plot.

the Physicians Pharmacal Co. labor
atory, Thursday morning. SO suddenly
did the accident occur that the other
employees had not time to turn at the

her mangled and disfgured body fell
to the floor. Miss Becker carried
tray of bottles TO some shelves where
a whirling shaft was running. which
she came too close to in mounting the
steps with the tray. Her hair foated
loosely and the suction of the shaft
caught it. There was scream and her
body was whiEIfd over the shaft Mt

Michigan ConI Fields.

The state geological survey has just
issued a report on the coal of Mich
igan, its mode of occurrence and quail
ity, Icy State Geologist 4. G. Lane. 1t
contains a map showing an extreme
area Of about l1.000 square miles, con-
fined to the central part of the lower
peninsula. This map also shows rough
ly the elevation of the bed rock sur
face, from which the depth of drift
under which the coal measures are
buried may be inferred. In the north
ern part this is very considerable,
amounting To hundreds of feet, and
proves an almost insuperable bar TO
exploitation. Sections are also given
which show the way in which the
coal seams occur. There is an interest
ing discussion Of the prospects Of over
production. which the author considers
possible if the rate of increase in pro
duction is kept up, and also some fig
ures on the value of coal lands and
royalties. The customary royalty APP

ment with the result that l was very

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND corr
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number OF
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment OF New York seized quantity
OF stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock. and
dumped II into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
Introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes In place OF whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
1t. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper. whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health Of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten 10
twenty cents for a pound can, or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der of established name ana charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades. the
alum danger will, 1t is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

retired farmer, drove from Quincy dur
ing the night to render financial as

seems that young Barker, in company

a time taking in several of the neigh

with a pair of patent leather shoes,
which was the cause Of his downfall.
