T OF
Pathetic Pictures of Tragedies En-
acted Above the Brink of the
Terrible Cataract.

The Indians held that Niagara claimed
its yearly quota Of victims. Even to-day,
when the wind is In a certain direction
and the roar of the falls has a peculiar,
%thunderous sound, they say, Niagara is
booming! 1t is calling for another vic
4im!" And long indeed is the roll call of
the lost, says Youths Companion. All
guides point out the spot where the
French lady, STOPPING to fill her cup from
the rapids, fell, and was whirled away in
an instant. Nothing was seen of her but
once; then for the space of a flash a hand
tossed above the waves.
They show you the rock to which
Avery clungfor 20 hours, for half a day in
view of the frantic crowd, who sent raft
after raft to reach him, yet saw him
swept like a weed to destruction at last.
Perhaps the most tragic story is that Of
the young mar who was walking with his
bride on Luna island. Just at the brink
/ Of the falls they stopped to greet a party
4 Of friends. The young husband, in merry
mood, took in his arms a little girl of the
party. Teasingly he held her out over
the brink, never doubling the security of
his strong grasp. The terrified child
struggled and screamed, and in the
struggle slipped from his arms and into
that whirl of foaming water.
Overwhelmed with the awfulness of
his act, and doubtless actuated by a wild
thought of saving the child, the young
man leaped after her to his own death,
and the two were swept away before the
Mortified gaze of their friends.
Perhaps that brides fate, who stood
and saw this awful tragedy, was sadder
than the lot of the other ill-starred bride,
who went rowing in a little boat with
her young husband on the river above
the falls. Although warned not to VEN
ture too far, they rowed on and on over
the smooth, treacherous, fair-seeming
waters, till the terrible current seized
their little skiff and whirled it into the.
rapids. The last glimpse of them showed
them standing up in the rocking boat,
clasped in each others arms. The boat,
ride and bridegroom were engulfed in
e relentless waters.

when Tickling Cbimpanzees.

1t has been observed that if the
tanned dog is taken back to the wild
state, he loses his voice. These
sounding voices" are produced in the
animal throat in a way similar to hui
man language, but are not voices
proper, o languages" proper, and
yet they are full of psychological ex-
preston, and reveal the animals
psychic states. If we tickle a chin
panzee in the armpit, the touch pro-
duces a grin on the face similar to
that of a man under like circum-
stances. He also emits lautghter-lixe
sounds. The same is the case with
the orang-outang. The gorilla knits
the brow when angry, just like men
We often observe in apes a complete
change in the facial muscles when
something is going to happen. be it
agreeable or disagreeable. 1t is so
also with the child. In apes there is
evidently the same connection between
the facial muscles and vocal muscles
as in man.-London Answers.
