Half>Lion, Half Tiger
Hagenbecks Experiments In Breeding Have Produced
Strange Monster.

Although the possibility of breeding
lion and tiger hybrids in captivity has
long been known, the results of the
experiments have not been very sue
cessful, the animals rarely reaching
to their full size and development.
More recently Mr.. Hagenbeck has OBJ
tanned some extraordinary results. and
has supplied me with particulars. One
is that of a mature animal which was
born on May IL, 1897, and it is now
rather more than five years old. 1t is
a male. Its height across the withers
as it stands erect is As inches, English
measurement Its length from the
nose to the tip of the tail is 10 feet 2
inches, a length which exceeds that
OF fun grown lion. In May during
the present year it weighed 220 kilo-
grams, equal to ACT English pounds.
II is an exceedingly fine, well-grown
animal, showing slightly the stripes
of the tiger, but it is not furnished
with name like a lion, and as this
appendage usually appears in the lion
when three years old, it may be pre-
sumed that no name viii ever be pres
ent in the hybrid. Mr.. Hagenbeck has
not yet succeeded in rearing any off
spring from it, This animal is de-
scribed by him as larger in size than

merits of the great catarrh cure, Peruna:

The fondness of the American In
dian for masks or false faces is held
by a student of Indian lore to prove
that secret societies exist among the
red men as among the whites. Accord
ing to Iroquois belief, certain spirits,
whose entity is comprehended In ugly
visages, have the power to infitct bod
lily ailments and to cause diseases to
afflict their people. To counteract
their evil designs, the Society of the
False Faces" is maintained among
the pagan Iroquois, in order to ap-

take their name, as we'll as to effect

A letter which reaches us from

writer, sn visiting the great electric
works there, seems to have been
struck chiefly with what was told
him by the engineer in charge with
regard to the habits Of the birds
in the neigh borhood. Never by any
chance, he says, do they ever settle
on the wires that conduct the electric
force to the city, but always wait till
the current is interrupted before
alighting. We always switch of

from noon till / D. m. every day. A
few moments after noon the wires are
crowded with birds, but few min
utes before / o'clock they all fly
away and never attempt to sit on the
wires. If by any chance we are
Obliged to keep the current after
midday, the birds are there ready tc
settle. but on approaching the wires
fly away again. 1t seems that they
know when a wire is conveying cleo
tricity. Even the flies seem to know.

young ones, which are now only thir-
teen months old, are larger than any

satisfactorily they will grow to

The two younger ones, which were
year old on the 18th of last April
are both males, and show the tiger
markings rather more distinctly than
the older animal In addition to pho

Ex-Member of Militia Committee of

What is considered by many local
military men as the most comprehen-
sive and able exposition of the conten-
tons of the opponents of the Dick mill
itia bill, about which so much is now
being said and written, is embodied
in letter written by Judge Emory
Sceer.
Judge Speer, is thoroughly con-

and his opinion carries added weight
when it is remembered that he was a
member of the committee of the mill
tia in the Forty-sixth Congress. The
opinion treats the subject from mill
tary and legal viewpoint.
After giving the text of the old law
under which, he contends people have
lived for more than a century without
alarm and the provisions of the new
law, relative to the power of the Pres
ident in ordering out troops, Judge
Speer remarks:
1T would seem to require all the
subtlety of the most distinguished
casuist to discover any Objectionable
difference between the old law and the
new. Under the former it will be seen
