Autos in Sahara Desert.

*Advices have been received from
Egypt to the effect that tourists in
Egypt will soon be able to GROSS the
Sahara desert in a four-miles-an.hour
automobile specially constructed for
travelling over sandy wastes. The We
hicle is said to accommodate forty
passengers, and while the speed
seems absurdly slow it is greater
than that of camel transportation
The Egyptians In charge of the camel
transportation of course are opposing
the Introduction of the automobile.
The English government is now using
motor vehicles, for transporting
troops in Soudan.

then they usually hurry to LEIPZIG in
Germany, which, in addition to being
the great book-selling center of Eu-

Lion Not a Brave Animal.

Men who have shot nearly all of the
dark continents animals have, as a
rule, nothing but contempt for the So
called s'king of beasts the lion. To
the hunter he is a cowardly, skulking
brute, far more dangerous to ! the
horses and oxen at night than to the
human part of the expedition, always
ready to stink off and escape a fight If
given a chance. There is nothing king
" about him, and single man can
usually put half dozen lions to flight.

At a quarter past II the fire was un-

No idea Of the damage can yet be OBJ
tanned.
The pope came to the scene in person
and remained until arrangements to fight
the fire were completed.
The fire caused a greater sensation in
Rome than any other event since the
death OF Pope Leo. Fires in Rome are
exceptional because OF the heavy stone
and brick construction Of the buildings.
