II is curious but well authenticated
fact that the wild silk worm produces
a silk which is declared TO have bet
ter lustre and stronger fibre than that
OF the captive silk worms. IL was as
Sumcd that the confinement of and so
licitouS care received by the cultivated
variety had produced n race which had
lost some OF its original vigor. Recent
experiments seem To- indicate that The
effect 50 apparent is due entirely TO
the different food OF the wild and DC

HUNTING IN AFRICA

happened one day after he shot ar an
telope: Leaving the boy who was
with me-. tracked the wounded bull.
Its spoor took me in the direction OF
camp and presently turned into a patch
OF fresh green grass about breast deep.
/ went though this for a bit and then
! stepped on a high tuft OF old grass 10
look for my boy. As I glanced around
| saw the head ~ 4 lion about forty
yards away. Only two cartridges re-.
mained In my pouch. However. Z
raised my rifle 10 fire AT the head.
when up popped another. then another
until counted 10 fewer than six
lions. While following the spOor I
had been going round in a half circle.
and just beyond the lions could see
my boy coming toward me straight for
them. They were all watching me
by this time ard I sisnaled 10 him 10

me, aud still came on until about thir-
ty yards from them. He was carry.

heads az his and ole Of them grunted
something also resembling "Hohr' AZ
they turned I had a splendid Oppor-
tunity for shot at the head OF the
biggest. but with the ammunition
had and the position OF myself and the
native in the long grass I thought it
rather risky.
II shouted 20 the boy 10 make n de-
tour and come alongside me. which he
did, the lions watching him all the
time. We tried 10 drive them out OF
the grass into the open Beyond where
/ would have felt safe in firing. but
they were feeding on the lechwe
which I had wounded. and as we ap-
preached lione,s put her tail in the
air and grovled 80 considering dis
cretion the better part Of valOr. and As
dusk was comm. on. we beat an or.
derly retreat. We were near the head
of the channe, which had crossed
previously. and 10 get round the top
end where il was shallow. to cross.
we had 20 walk within sight of the
lions for 200 or 900 yards and then
wade across knee deep. When l got
to the other side | looked back and
against the skyline they had followed
US to the waters edge.
There was not light enough TO risk
a shot. and a. / had hopes Of meeting
them on the morrow when better pre-
pared, [ did not disturb them, but
made my way back 10 camp. where
arrived after dark. The others had
each bagged a lechwe aud was in
formed that the cook and another boy,
had seen two lions not far from where
| met them. We prepared bullets
that night and next morning at day
break went out after them. We
found the remains Of the lechwe and
followed the lions spoor till we came
to where they had crossed wide and
deep channel during the night With
out n canoe we could rot cross this

FIREMAN O'RAFFERTY.

"A cloud Of cinder-dGtted smoke, whose
pillows rise and swell.
Thrust through by seething swords of
fame that roar like blasts from he'll;
floor whose charring timbers groin and
creak beneath the tread,
With starting planks that, gaping, show
long lines OF sullen red;
Great, kissing, scalding Jets Of steam that,
lifting now, disclose,
A crouehing figure gripping tight the noz-
zle of hose,
The dripping, rubber-conted form, scarce
seen amid the murk,
OF Fireman Mike O'Rafferty attending to
ais work.
Pressed close against the blIstered floor
he strives the fire to drown,
And slowly, surely, steldtastly, he fights
the demon down.
And then he seeks the windOw.frame, all
sashess blank and bare.
And wipes his plucky Irish face and gasps
bit for air;
Then standing on the shiny ledge, az mar
row az his feet,
He huns a tune, and looks straight down
six stories TO the street
Far, far below he sees the crowds pale
faces flush and fade.
But Fireman Nike O'Raferty can't stop
TO be afraid.

fiery, burning rain,
To reach pallId face that glares behind a

Sometimes he feels his foothold shake with
giddy swing and sway,
And barely leaps TO safety as the crashing

Sometimes penned in and sitting fast, he
waits, with courage grim,
And hears the willing axes ply that strive
20 rescue him;

may come a bit too late
