WILD ANIMAL FIGHTS.
Enormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce COmbats.

Enormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce COmbats.
In the pitched battles which some
times take place between the great
carnivora and the largest and most
powerful Of the OK tribe the forces Of
animal courage, desperation and bodily
strength must be exhibited on scale
never elsewhere seen, says a writer In
Leslie's Weekly. Such combats do oc-
cur. but have seldom been witnessed
and still less frequently described. Two
or three lions sometimes combine In
such an attack. but from the marks
seen on buffalo 1t is probable that
sometimes there is single combat, for
it can hardly be supposed that the buff
falo could escape from more than one
lion.
The mum DER of foot pounds Of energy
put into such a struggle must be some
thing extraordinary. The efforts Of
lion. which can strike mans arm
from the shoulder and leave 1t hang
ing by strip of skin or which can
carry a COW over high stOckade, en-
deavoring unsuccessfully in close grips
to drag down or disable a buffalo bull,
must be on a gigantic scale, and the
strength which can shake him off and,
1t is believed, occasionally crush the
lion afterward must be even more
amazing. \ buffalo bull has been cred
tied with engaging three lions in NOR
tai combat and making good fight
before he was disabled by one of the
lions hamstringing him by biting his
legs from behind.

The Bud of a Tree.

Among the curious things discovered
by the students of plant life Is the fact
that a bud taken from one tree and
grated on another carries the age Of
the original tree with it. 1t has al
ways been believed that the bud so
transferred began a wholly new life,
but this new theory-it may, after all,
be more theory than fact as yet-shows
the matter in an entirely different light.
For example, II bud be taken from
a tree that is twenty-five years old with
q natural life of fifty years and grated
on another tree it will not live as long
as its parent tree is entitled to live, the
full fifty years, but only for the period
Of life then left to the tree, twenty five
years.

PARIS PAWNSHOPS.
why They Are Poor Places to Get
IonnH on stolen Watches.

OF watches alone there are received
here and at the twenty-five branch Of
fees from q thousand to twelve hun
dred day, about $4,000 in year, the
average loan on a watch being 30 or
40 francs The official assured me that
In this great number Of watches scarce
" one in thousand has been stolen,
the fact being that people who have
come dishonesty by watches or other
property fight shy of the mont de piete
The reason Of this was presently made
plain as we watched the f0rmalities OF
record, and | realized how difficult It
would be for any one to do business
here under concealed identity. Every
client receiving loan greater than 10
francs must produce some official docu-
ment-an insurance policy, a citizens
voting card, a permit to carry arms or
q rent receipt bearing his signature and
throwing light upon his station in life.
For loans under 10 francs the client Is
simply required to show an envelope
through the mails to his address. All
these facts, with various others, are
duly inscribed upon huge record sheets,
so that whoever deals with the mont
de piete exposes himself to the scru-
tiny that must be ungrateful to folks
Of shady antecedents. Indeed, certain
persons make this grievance against
the mont de piete and declare the Paris
system an impertinent intrusion upon
clients privacy, which would seem a
point badly taken II the client Is an
honest man. 49, Cleveland Mofrett on

Chinese Summing.

A Chinese woman, young and pretty,
with q girl companion Of about Aer
own age, was making tour Of inspec'
ton through New York. 1t could not
be determined by an Onlooker what
her object might be. She was intensely
interested In the skyscrapsrs and went
in and out Of buildings with the activ-
ity and perslstency Of a book agent.
However, she carried nothing In her
hand but paper fan, which she
opened and closed daintily, with a rat
tie Of jade bracelets. She and her
friend went in and out Of elevators and
rode to giddy heights. With no purpose
that any one could detect they peered
here and peeped there, all OF the time
opening and shutting doors with sly
eagerness and much curiosity. Finally
some one who had met them repeated
~ In the course Of the day asked what
they were doing. The Chinese maid
answered quick as fash, me all the
same Summing today" - New York
Herald.

Religious examination papers are an
ancient and unfailing source Of JOY.
The latest one TO be put In evidence
comes from an English church training
college. Candidates for admission are
required to give in writing some ac-
count of the religious instruction they
have received, and recent answer to
the first two formal questions ran as
follows:
Question: What instruction have you
had in religious knowledge?
Answer: None.
Question: By whom was it given?
Answer: By the vicar.
The thing might have been expressed
more logically, but not much more

VaccinntinH Dogs.

The veterinary surgeon was vaccinat'
ING a big Newfoundland dog. The AMI
NAL was muzzled, and an assistant held
its head. A space the size Of silver
dollar was shaved clean on its back,
and here the virus was being applied.
81 choose this spot to work on" said
the surgeon, because the dog can't
scratch himself here. If yaccinated
him OH the leg, he would be apt to irrl-
tate the wound and make 1t very sore.
The vaccination OF dogs Is new" he
went on, but 1t Is very good thing.
I wonder that 1t was never tried before.
Many valuable dogs have died from
time TO time OF smallpox. There have,
indeed, been cases where whole packs
of hounds have contracted the disease,
and their killing has been necessary.
l advocate every pups vaccination.
When dogs take smallpox, they take 1t
badly. Their death is nearly always
bound to follow. When they recover,
they are not disngured, their hair hid
ing the peck marks, but they so seldom
recover that this fact hardly counts
for much. Vaccination is the thing fol-
valuable dogs."-Philadelphia Record.

TOXIN AND ANTlTOXlN.
What There Two Terms In Medicine
Mean Made Clear.


Pasteur, the great French savant,
founder Of the sciences OF bacteriology
and preventive medicine, proved in the
first place that the epidemic diseases
are due TO minute living organisms,
plants and animals and that for each
definite disease there Is a specific micro
organism. This was the great funda-
mental fact. Later It became evident
that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical poisons
which they produce, called toxins. In
many cases the micro organism, II
grown In culture tubes outside the
body, will produce the same toxins.
After being separated from the living
germs which produced them these sub
stances will produce all the symptoms
of the disease when injected into an
animal body The body at the begin
ming Of an attack OF fever Is not, how
ever, passive. Its cells react against
the poisons introduced and a struggle
ensucs. the end Of which Is life or
death, the fighting being purpOseful
and definite. The body cells secrete
a specific chemical body which has the
power Of neutraliElng or rendering
harmless the particular toxin intro
duced. This antidote to the poisonous
toxin we call the antitoxin. When a
man RECEIVERS from an attack OF small
pox, it is because his antitoxins have
proved too strong for the toxins Of the
disease, and his after immunity, 1t
seems probable. is due to the persist
ence within his body of the antitoxlns
once produced-C. L. A. Winslow In
Atlantic.

the stakes were very small, and he

The Conductors Honest RakeOn.

during a lull in the ringing Of fares,
stood passing coins from one hand to
the other. turning up the date Of each
coin as he did so. There are more
ways Of making money than by knock
Ing down fares" he remarked, noting
the inquiring look on passenger
face. ANY greenhorn can pocket a
dozen nickels in collecting 120 fares in

but man has got to know something

ue It's surprising how many more or
less rare coins pass current without
falling into the hands Of some one who
knows their value. This was suggest
I'd to me one day, and took to study
Ing the catalogue of dealers In rare
coins and mem0rizing the dates Of
those that are worth more than the
prices stamped on them. Since then ]
have picked out of the money have
taken in fares several hundred coins
with a premium value ranging from q
few cents to 50 and have redeemed
them with my own money and sold
them to dealers in coins New York
