A recent exploring expedition along
the boundaries of British East Africa
killed thirty-nine lions and had some
thrilling adventures. Captain Maud,
who was in command, writes: Baird
had a few days before been mauled by
a lion. The brute charged out from a
patch of bush, and Baird's shot failed
TO stop him. The next moment the lion
had knocked him down and was maui
ing him. Baird's fox terrier, James
which had hitherto had well merited
reputation for discretion, performed
prodigies of valor and positively found
his way into the lions mouth. But lie
was not to his majesty's taste and was
elected. strangely enough, with little
hurt. Meanwhile Baird's two shikari'
behaved splendidly. One caught the
lion by the tail and pulled, while th'
other very coolly shot him through the
heart. Baird had several wounds
some of them deep, but the miracle o.
his escape as well as that of james
was explained when it was seen tina
the lions jaw had been broken pI

he is "the most compelling youthful

Of the schOolboy, the prize fighter-his
face speaks of it-and the fanatic Is a
strong one, and that almost sums up
Mr.. Churchill. He is the only man lv-
ing who will be able to compete with
Mr.. Chamberlain in appealing to the
sporting instincts and the ideals Of the
working classes. He is essentially q
democratic demagogue, if you like
as his father was before him. There is

who was visiting the eminent scientist,

on no account to disturb the book, as it

to purchase a copy in order to ascertain
what reference to himself it might con

whatever Of his name, the only posi-

that Darwin in his old age suffered
from some kind Of brain paralysis
