HORSES KILL TIGER.
Ferucius ReaSt II MorSted While
Trying to Make. Meal on
the Equines.

A two-year-old Indian tiger was
killed in fight with horses on cir
Gus train while en- route from Goshen
to Puughkeepsie, y. y, early the other
DAY.
The tiger, which had been recently
imported, escaped from its wagon den
while the train was in motion. 1t
crawied over the tops Of four wagons
and entered a car containing 30 draft
horses. y fierce battle en>ued. the
panic-stricken horses plunging and
kicking at the savage intruder.
When the train reached here the
tiger Was found dead and manglcd I'M
der the hoof> of one of the horses.
Most Of the horses were badly
scratched and bitten.
Ii is the first case on record. the
shuwmen say, of a horse killing a tiger.
The striped beast MAS confined in a
cage that was on fiat ear in the
train when il started on a short run
to this city AT an early hour. Next 10
the car carrying the tiger cage was
stock car in which were 20 of the
best horses in the show.
In some manner unexplained the
tiger got out uf it, cage after the train
was under way. Circus hands were
asleep under the cage, hut were not
awakened,
The beast had paid no attention to
them, and appearances Indicate that
he made hi> way along the ear and
forced himself into the opening at the
end of the car containing the horses.
The animals Were packed in, and
from the deep gaShes on their backs
il would appear that the tiger climbed
over them until he reached the mid
die of the ear, when he attempted to
make a meal of Toby. The ensuing
struggle was terrific. All Of the wood.
work in the interior Of the car was
smashed and the side walls and top
were covered with blood.
The terrified horses, in their efforts
to get away from the fierce beast that
had attacked them in the darkness,
crowded toward the end of the ear,
leaving space through which the
tiger dropped TO the floor, Then II was
that the intrepid Toby, by well-di-
rected kick, smashed in the skull Of the
tiger and jumped on him until his
skin was rendered useless for dccora-
tive purposes.

The Fire. Eater Was Not There.

Stockholm, Sweden, July tap
tain Arvid Wester of the Swedish
army challenged an American, Will
lam Casper, to fight duel and failed
TO appear at the spot sVfVctUt fUrthp-
encounter. The trouble arose at
performance last night in the Grand
Arena palace. Wester, who was in
the full uniform OF captain on the
general staff and wearing his decora-
tions, disturbed the seance OF a mind
reader. Casper, who is the manager
OF the establishment, demonstrated
with the captain and demanded IN
apology. This Wester refused and
Casper said the officers conduct was
ungentlemanly and disgraceful. The
captain then challenged the Ameri.
can, who accepted and repaired to
the meeting place at 5 O'Clock this
morning, with his seconds, including
the secretary OF the United States
legation, Joseph Muir, Wester. who
was war correspondent in Cuba and
South Africa, failed to appear, and
as a consequence will undoubtedly be
forced to retire from the army. Cas-
per has been the recipient OF many
congratulations.
Captain Wester of the Swedish
army was the military attache to
the legation OF Sweden and Norway
at Washington at the time of the
utbreak of the war between the
United States and Spain. He went
through that war and thellwar be-
tween Turkey and Greece. He was
attached to General Skaters head
quarters as foreign guest.

manager Of the Chicago chutes and
loops:
Dear Sir: A young lady living near
Liberty has told me she won't marry
me unless will go to Chicago with her
and marry in one of your loops. Now,
she laughed when she said this like it
was a joke, but she thinks whole lot

has rode in it and she says | wouldn't
dare to GO in one. IL you will fix it for
me I'll pay you well and fool her. II
couldn't get her any other way I am
willing to go in the loops. Enclosed is
a stamp for an answer Please let me

saint Justin's BODY Found,

1t is announced from Vincenza,
Italy. that while some boys were
playing inside the parish church at
Monticello they found an iron chest,
the lid of which they managed to re-
move. Inside the chest was corpse
remarkably well preserved, clothed
in the vestments of bishop. The
bishop of Vincenza sent commits
sion to investigate the matter. The
commission found some documents
in the chest which proved that the
body was that of Saint Justin. who
died $50 years after Christ. The re-
mains were inferred with much
solemnity and great excitement now
prevails in the locality, owing to
the rumors of many miracles having
been performed.

VIII Miss n Thames Feature.

One of London's features which
visitors will miss this year are the
penny steamers on the Thames.
For at least two years back the
Thames Steamboat company has had
friction with the county council, and
had threatened to withdraw its
steamers. This year it has decided
to do so. Dirty. antiquated little
boats though they are, they will be
missed, for they were largely taken
advantage Of during the summer on
account of their being cool, as a
mode of travel from east to west
and vice versa. Visitors appreciated
them as affording them the only
good view that could be had of the
big-many of them historic-build-

COOK CEREALS DRY.
New Process Discovered by Dr.. An
derson of Columbia University.
DIEeStibiIity of Grains and Starchy
Foods of All Kinds Greatly In
creased When Prepared by
Dry Heat.

An important discovery in eco
monte botany. which, it is believed.
will have far-reaching application
IT, human food, was first formally
announced at one of the conferences
of heads of departments which are
held weekly in the Museum building
Of the New York botanical garden.
The discovery may be described aS
a dry process of cooking cereal
grains aud starchy products. The
food is cooked in "A saturated atmos-
phere.
The author of the discovery is DIR.
Alexander Z. Anderson. nov curator
of the hcrharium NJ Columbia uni
vcrsity. In paper in which he
gave an account of his discovery DIR.
Anderson said:
AN the cereals and nearly all the
important foods derived from plants
contain large quantities of starch.
The chief value Of the cereals lies
in the starch which they contain.
"ra prepare starches far human
food il is essential that the granulcS
should he broken mp in order To- he
more easily acted upon by the diff
fercut digestive engines. The sail
vary engines are especially active
IN converting starch into sugar hut
raw starch, in which the granuleS
are intact, is slowly acted upon,
ION the other hand, when the
starch granulcs are previously
broken mp by heating in water, the
eulymatic action is almost inStauta-
ncnuS, and the starch is converted
into sugar, in which form ii is solu-
bic and easily asSimlatrd.
1T is Il wcll-knoWn fact that
starchcs do not swell 10 any extent
when heated dry or in contact with
relatively small amount of water,
as in the ordinary bread baking
process.
lin the course of my experiments
] have discovered a method hy means
of which starch granulcS Of all kinds
can be expanded and broken up
without the use of water from the
out side, WINCH IS CWTT0mITY m he
conversion of StarchcS into paStcs
in the ordinary cooking processes
with water.
INSTEAD of adding water, | am
able to effect the complete swelling
of the starch granule by means Of
dry heat. This | do by subiecting
the starch granule, grain or starchy
mass to rapid heat in a saturated
atmosphere.
AT the end OF the process | find
the starch granules broken up into
an innumerable number of particles
or fragments. The resulting prod
Ndcts after the expansion are drier
than before.
81 find that I can in this way swell
or expand any starchy product. and
especially the cereal grains. When
the grains are swclled the resulting
products are from four To sixteen
times greater in volume than the
original kernel. The expanded kerr
nelS are only enlarged, otherwise ex-
act copies of the original.
THE only difference between
starch paste or starchy food prod
ucts prepared by the ordinary meth
cd of boiling or cooking with water
and the dry method of expanding
them is that the resulting products
expanded when dry can be kept in
definitely in their dry condition
while the products prepared with
water easily spoil and ferment."

WESTERN CATTLE MARKETS.
No Substantial Loss In Live stock
Receipts at Five Leading Points.

The latest report on internal COM
merce, from the treasury bureau of
statistics, shows no substantial loss
in receipts of live stock at five west
ern markets for the first third of this
year. For the first four months of
1902, 10.076.373 head were received at
these centers, compared with 10,l06,-
495 head in 1901 and q. 1875, 324head for the
corresponding period Of 1900. April
receipts of cattle at these markets
were considerably higher than those
of April, 1900, but somewhat below
those of April. 1901. Receipts Of
calves continued TO exceed the arrivals
Of the two preceding years. but hogs
and sheep both fell below the figures
of 1900 and 1901. At Chicago the de-
mand for live stock for city use and
consumption for the month of April
show a shrinkage of five per cent in all
kinds Of stock: hut for the four
months ending with April there was
an increase of 100 per cent. over the
requirements of 1901. April receipts
at this poinh however. fell off 3,23@ car
loads compared with those of April
last year For the four months end
ing with April receipts gained 3,0lo
car loads. This contraction in num-
bers during April is noticeable also at
Kansas City and st. Louis in both re-
ceipts and shipments, while at Omaha

year shows gain in receipts and ship
