A BIG RHINOCEROS.
Charged a Railroad Train and Tried
to Smash Locomotive.

Dispatches from Zanzibar say a col
Hsion" has occurred on the. Uganda
railway, British East Africa, that would
be possible nowhere else on earth.
A huge bull rhinocerOs rushed out of
the bush and charged at full speed the
so-called "up-mixed'' train. which was
slowing down February IA as it ap-
preached the station Sultan Hamoud,
21S miles from Mombasa, on the coast,
where the road starts.
1t was still dark, just before daylight.
The train was travelling. eight or ten
miles an hour when the infuriated
pachyderm attacked it on the flank.
Perhaps the great bull had been reused
from sleep by the greater monster,
whose one big shining eye nearly blind
ed him. But the rhinoceros, lord of
that region, caring nothing for the
huge bulk of the unknown intruder
hurled himself upon it. The engineer
felt series of shocks, of Which the
first was SO violent as to throw two
passengers from their sleeping berths
to the floor. The train was stopped and
the passengers turned out, most of
them in their robes of night" and
some of them badly scared.
The rhino was discovered about 100
yards down the track. The impact with
the train had felled him, but had not
cooled his rage. Slowly he raised him
self and stood defiantly shaking his
head. Some of the more sporting
passengers got their rifles and opened
fire on the rhinoceroS. But the light
was uncertain and probably the mighty
beast was not hit. Slowly he returned
to the jungle and was lost to sight.
He did not escape unframed from the
strange encounter, for pieces of his
thick skin We're found adhering to the
train. But the fierceness of his assault
smashed the engine step and splintered
the inch and a half thick footboard of
the first carriage.
Life on the Uganda railway, which
penetrates the very darkest Africa, is
always sufficiently exciting. When the
Il
lions pursued the native laborers with
much appetite. The laborers refused to
work until a stockade was built
around. Nevertheless the hungry lions
carried off several men, including a
European railway officer.-Chicago

his leg, his eyelid and his nose it is
impossible to learn.
In the last operation the base of the
nose and the inner surface of the
finger were roughened, or the cuticle
rem owed, so that when the two parts
were placed together they might grow
as one piece. When this had been
done Katica's left arm was so strapped
to his side that he could not involun-
tarily move it and disturb the trans
planting. The finger was bound to the
face, not with a plaster cast, but with
strips of adhesive plaster, which pass
ed across the back of the hand and
the finger and were attached to the
face or passed behind the head.
For six weeks Katica has suffered
his finger to be bound to his face, and
though the pain, he says, was intense,
he has not lost his nerve or determine
ton
When the finger was finally ampu-
tated from the hand the flesh was
found to be growing on his face, and
all that is now necessary is to form it
into shape by small operations.
Dr.. Lloyd last night refused to dis
cuss the operation. From another
source it was learned that there is not
the slightest doubt that the new nose
of Katica will be a success."New

Tent Cure for Consumption.

Putting a troubled sentiment aside,

OYSTER FARMING IN VIRGINIA
Natural and Artificial Beds in Chesa-

In eastern Virginia there are sew

oyster breeds and natures naturally.
There are thousands of acres of such

NO WORKOUT RUBBER.

worn-out rubber boot may throw out
their chests with pride at being worth
really something. Nothing contain

tires of a motor car may run on a

cess which rejuvenates it and makes it
fit to be worked up again for the pur-

quantities of this product, which for
merIy was assigned to a rubbish heap,
are now treated and admixed with
certain percentage of new gum,
enough to cheaper the price of most

addition of fresh gum, the process of

One singular feature about the oys-
ter is this: They all look exactly alike.
there being no difference between the
male and female externally or inter-
nally; in fact the art of man is not
sufficient to distinguish one sex from
another. Another unique feature Is
this. The male oyster lays as many
we perceive. The eggs of the male
are called "milt," and the eggs of the
female are called spawn" An ordi-
nary full-grown oyster is supposed to
lay a million eggs a year In spawn
ing season the water is full of these
eggs, and when the "miIt' and
spawn" come in contact. and tbs
water is at the right temperature, life
is impaired to the microscopic egg.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Stories.

Many amusing remarks were made
at the doors of galleries. A small frame
containing a dozen specimens would
draw a crowd. One man would under
take to describe how they were made.
You look in the machine, and the pic
ture comes-if you look long enough"
Another would say: 1T is not so much
the looking that does it; the sun burns
it in, if you keep still" Another made
it all very plain by stating: THE plate
is a looking glass, and when you sit in
front of it your shadow sticks on the
plate"
How it came about was never
known, but the impression became
general that the sitter must not wink.
No operator of intelligence ever told the
sitter not to wink, for the effort to re
frain would have given the eye an un-
natural expression. We found it a duty
natural Winlxing did not affect the pic
ture Even then it was not always
understood. One old lady jumped out
of the chair before a sitting was half
over, raising both hands, and exclaim-
ing: stop it, stop it, I winkedi''
Another remarba bic fact was that
sitters seldom acknowledged their own
likeness. All good but mine was the
common decision. An aged couple, aft
err examining their pictures. came to
this conclusion: Maria, yours is per-
feet. but this does not look like me- %
But the old lady answered. ''Jeems,
