Beach palace, in which Bostock has his
animals, was deserted. The crowds
had not yet arrived. Nine. Morello
went early to the palace for the purpose
Of devoting a little time to the educa
ton Of Puerre, a four-year-old leopard
that had been somewhat backward in
learning to perform. He had shown
fight whenever his mistress attempted
to force him to do trick against his
will. She took with her into the cage

luctantly he mounted a globe at his
trainers direction and balanced HIM
self to her satisfaction. Nine. Morel!o
thought to teach Puerre new trick
She needed small bench standing just
behind her and turned to reach for it.
With a terrifying roar Puerre sprang
upon his trainers back and bore her to
the floor. +.
Nine. Morello's cry for aid was heard
by Bostock in his office and by Cap
tain Jack Bonavita, WHO trains troupe
of twenty-seven lions. and by Herbert
Weldon and w. II. Tuder, treasurer
of the show They all rushed to the
arena, catching up pitchforks and iron
bars as they ran. The leopard had
buried its long teeth in Nine. Morello's
left arm and was tearing her fesh
with all four claws. The woman was
by this time unconscious. BostocE
sprang into the arena. with Bonavita
close at his heels.
The attendants from outside the
cage poked the leopard with long irons
and succeeded in distracting its atten'
ton from it's victim. BOstOck and Bon
avita made a concerted attack on the
animal from opposite directions, jab
bling it with their pitchforks. Only m
occasional moan came from the lips OF
the unconscious woman. Puerre seem

pitchforks until suddenly he released

Truth viii ont.

Little children make good witnesses
as rule, for they are naturally truth
full, and when placed on the witness
stand are in such fear of the court and
the strange surroundings that, even if
they are inclined to lie, they are afraid
to do so. Occasionally, however, q
child is found that. though willing TO
tell the truth. has been coached SO that
it is hard for the court to determine
whether the testimony is true or un-
true.
Recently in Judge Graham's court
during the hearing of divorce action
the four young children of the un-
happy litigants were witnesses. The lit
tie ones all told the same tale, telling
the court with remarkable glibness
how their father had abused their
mother.
How did your mother treat your
father?" asked the court of each of the
little ones in turn.
she was good to him." said the eld-
est, a girl about IL years of age. The
other three made exactly the same an
swer. This made Judge Graham sus
picious and he took the small witnesses,
one at a time, aside and questioned
them closely. He learned from their
baby lips that for several days prior
to the hearing their mother had been
coaching them, filling their little minds
with lies they were to tell the Judge.
The father was given the decree of di-
vorce and the custody of the children.

Then the Board Laughed.


A great many of the answers given
by men who enter the civil service list
for examination as TO their qualifica-
tions for positions on the police force
are of such a character as to cause the
examining board many a laugh. One
young man who wrote his answers in
a fairly good hand answered thus TO
the following questions:
What would be the best treatment
for a person found with a broken leg
until such time as the service of a
physician could be procured?"
Answer: place the man on his back
in a perpendicular position, resting
easy on the leg that is good. carefully
bandaging the broken leg at the break,
admitting plenty of fresh air and ring
in for the doctors wagon
How would you treat a person for
gas asphyxiation?"
Answer: Keep him in cool place
far away from light and fire, opening
UP his clothes and rolling him over On
his stomach and tapping him gently on
the soles of the feet with your club
while you sent for the doctors bus; if
dead notify the morgue wagon"

The Deadly Sea Dart.

The events which marked the out'
break of hostilities between japan and
Russia have drawn considerable atten-
ton to the torpedo as an engine OF
war. For years past we have heard
lot about the man behind the gun.
but the japanese have shown US that
1.-The man behind the torpedo" may
now be regarded as an equally i'm
portant factor when it comes to
fight Much has been said both for
and against this weapon, and open
doubts have been expressed, by naval
men, too, as to it's usefulness. The
Japanese have disDelled this once and
for all. The part played by the tor
pedo at Port Arthur gives additional
interest to experiments now being car
ried on with this weapon by the Brit
ish naval authorities. Already they
have resulted in some improvements
being effected. The latest fourteen
inch torpedo, which is going to the
battleship Prince of Wales and other
new ships, will run for 5000 yards at
a speed of thirty knots per hour. This
is a very great advance upon any
thing that has preceded it, but it does
not mark the limit Of progress. Work
is now proceeding upon an improved
form of the eighteen-inch torpedo, and
it is fully anticipated that it will have
a range of 1000 yards. With this
weapon comes a revolutionary phase
in naval warfare, in which first place
must be given to the torpedo man. 1t
is difficult for any one who has not
some knowledge of the subject to re-
alize what it will be for a captain of
a ship to have at his command a ma
chine that is capable of travelling a
distance of over three miles in four or
five minutes, going practically with
the speed and directness of an arrow,
and have sufficient destructive force
to sink the biggest battleship aflOat-
That is the kind of instrument the
new British torpedo is.

The Reward of Learning.

A certain Judge who possesses de-
gree from a leading university dropped
in one day at new thirst resort, partly
for the purpose of getting a drink and
incidentally to see the decorations OF

Commerce IN the East.

The total commerce of the territory

terms. about $500 oOO,0 900, of which con-
siderably more than one-half is i'm
ports. JaDan's commerce is about
equally divided between imports and
exports, but in the case of China and
Asiatic Russia imports greatly exceed
exports, and this is also true of Hong
kong, which passes most of its imports
on into China and draws from China
most Of the articles which become its
exports Probably three-fifths of the
total commerce of the countries in
question, taken as a whole, is in the
form of imports, and the United States
Is year by year supplying a larger
share of those imports OF the countries

countries in the relative share which

the bulk of the exports of China and

Probably no tree ever cut In th9
famous California forests better illus
trates the value of our States timber
resources than the wonderful white
pine tree that has been placed on the
hill on which California has built her
State pavilion at the Worlds Fair. This
log is IA feet long. 1t is forty-fve inches
in diameter at the base and twenty y-six
inches thick at the small end. Larger
trees have been cut in California. This
one, however, is remarkable for main
tanning its size throughout it's entire
length. To the casual observer it ap-
pears to be a solid column, no smaller
at one end than the other. The bark
has been carefully preserved. Neces-
sarily the tree was cut into lengths TO

In the German navy the retired pay
Of officers is graded according to the
length of service of the beneficiary.
and starting with 25 per cent of the
full pay after ten years entry in the
service terminates with 70 per cent of
full pay at the end of forty years SER
vice. Special retired pay is allowed to
grades above commodores. The latter's
full pay is 1854 marks, or about s2340
year; captains receive $3.50; COM
manders, $3.50; lieutenant command
ers, Sl040; lieutenants, $40, and Junior
lieutenants, $487. 1t is evident from
this low rate Of pay, as compared with
that in the British and American
navies, that salary offers no induce
ment TO become an officer in the Ger
man navy, and that such positions
are only for the nobility and other
persons who have sufficient means of
support without counting upon that
received for serving the country. PETTY
officers of the first class in the United
States navy receive from s432 to $3.50
year pay, averaging more than a
junior lieutenant in the German navy,
while captains sea pay in our navy
is nearly four times that received i'm
that grade of the German feet.
