WILD ANIMAL FIGHTS.
nnormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce Combats.

nnormous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce Combats.
In the pitched battles which some
times take place between the great
earnivora and the largest and most
powerful Of the OK tribe the forces Of
animal courage, desperation and bodily
strength must be exhibited on a 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 II is probable that
sometimes there IL a single combat, for
It can hardly be supposed that the buff
falo could escape from more than one
lion.
The number Of foot pounds Of energy
put Into such a struggle must be some
thing extraordinary. Tho efforts Of a
Hon, which can strike a mans arm
from the shoulder and leave It hang
ing by a strip Of skin or which can
carry a cow over a high stockade, en-
deavoring unsuccessfully in close grips
to drag down or disable buffalo bull.
must be on n gigantic scale, and the
strength which can shake him or and,
II is believed, occasionally crush the
lion afterward must be even more
amazing. A buffalo bull has been cred
tied with engaging three lions In NOR
tai combat and making a good fight
before he was disabled by one Of the
lions hamstringing him by biting bis
legs from behind.

the FIRST two formal questions ran az

a Wichita Boy.

Capt. C. 3. Humphrey one Of the
Wichita boys who IS considered one Of
the most efficient engineer officers in the
United States navy, was mentioned in an
article entitled Bridge Making Feats OF
the Clever FilipinOs' in Leslie's Weekly
of the 3rd inst. as one OF the American
officers who has confidence in the ability
OF the natives TO work out their industrial
future. Captain Humphrey has charge Of
the construction Of the bridges along
the highways in provinces Of Baton and
Pampanga.
Since the quelling OF the insurrectionary
spirit in the Philippine Islands. the mill
tary and civil authorities have combined
TO create an area of Improvement in the
islands With the exception Of the high
ways around Manila the road. Of the Is
land were in a very poor condition and
few Of the streams were bridged- During
the past two years most of the island
has been surveyed and roads and bridges
are being constructed.
AS American laborers cannot be secured
the Filipinos are being employed on the
work. The captain has about three thous-
and OF the natives workingg under him
in his territory. He says that at first they
were of little service. as they did not
understand American methods. Captain
Humphrey found that they were quick
TO learn and says that they are naturally
such clever irnitators and accepted in
struction from the American foreman
so readily that they have learned the
methods employed IN building in this
country very quickly.
In some parts of the island the natives
had never seen a bridge and Captain
Humphrey found that they were afraid 10

the first truss or suspension bridge near

sent among the barrios or villages in the
vicinity inviting the natives TO come TO

bridge Prior TO that time very few
FiIipinos were willing TO cross. preferring
to wade the river below rather than try

His Tune Changed.

A certain wholesaler. who has BUSH

parent Of a new baby boy some time
sgo Ever since that time his employees
have listened to wonderful tales about the
infant But one morning last week he
appeared at his office at the usual hour
though looking rather worn and worried
over something. AS he omitted the
customary morning salutztion 70 his en-
ployes and even forgot TO tell some new
story about the baby. all thought that
perhaps something had happened. Later
on one employer holder than the rest,
ventured TO ask him about the infant
