1t took Captain Bonavita three months to train
the lion into whose mouth he puts his head. He
tried more than dozen animals before he found

he found one which would permit this familiarity.

shortened the stick more and more, till finally ne
gave the meat from his fingers. AS he did this
he would take pains each time to touch the lions
lips. After time the lion would let him take
hold of lip with each hand. and open his mouth
close to lions and at last he put his head in
the beasts mouth This act never loses its
danger. however. More than one trainer has had
his head bitten off by lion. This Is the
characteristic of the cat tribe. One never knows
what wild cat will do what day 1t will turn
upon the trainer. Its nature seems unconquerabe.
Captain BonaVta does not believe that the sent-
ment of affection is ever inspired in them. The
foundation of their training is habit and this
family trait is plainly seen In the house cat whch

being taken to scenes. LAS scared as cat in

LEcTURED ON PEOPLE OF INDIA.
Dr.. johnson Told of Life and PhiIos-
ophy of That People.

DR.. Johnson lectured last Sunday even
ing to large audience in Dunbar hall
on the subject, THE Life and Philosophy
of the People Of India" The lecturer
spoke of the benefits of English rule in
the education of the people and the de-
velopment of the country's resources. He
mentioned the educational benefits of the
missionary efforts in southern India. He
compared the religion OF Buddhism and
Christianity, saying that in the nature
of the case a religion arising among the
Semitic people would be characterized by
a more fiery spirit than a religion arising
among the people of India. In a land of
flowers and flowing waters, where life is
like one long summers day. it is but
natural that the gentle precepts OF Bud
Cha should find Judgment in the hearts of
the people. But the higher precepts of
Oriental philosophy are above the COM
prehension of the ignorant classes. The
hope of elevating these classes lies in the
slow process of education which both the
government and the missionary societies
are endeavoring to do.
DR.. Johnson spoke of the great suffer
ing and death in times of famine among
the poor.
The lecture was profoundly interesting
and Instructive, and he announced his in
tention to lecture next Sunday evening
on the same subject. He Is a traveller
and scholar who can easily interest any
