DARING OF LIONS.

Incillents to Prove That the Brutes
Are Not Cowardly.
It has been said many times that
lions are cowardly brutes, but of the
many lions with which have had per.
sonal dealings, expectedly and unex
pectedly, the epithet cowardly is the
last should consider appropriate IN
describing them. l have been charged
by lion, and he certainly did not look
cowardly. have come face to face,
at q distance of some twenty feet, with
a family party of half dozen, fortu.
nately full fed. They stood, with quiet
dignity, looking at us, AMI then s.ovl.
moved away, stopping every few yards
to stand and look again. There was
neither fear nor meanness in their ap.
pearance or behavior.
have seen lions stalking game, and
I have myself been stalked by them.
If could have encouraged myself with
the conviction Of their cowardliness
when I was the quarry and they the
hunters, it would have put different
aspect on the situation. We were at
this time living in station over seven.
ty miles from the nearest connecting
link with the outside world, and when
man eating lions took possession of the
one road which led to this link things
became serious.
A large troop was reported, and the
natives maintained that this troop ran
along in the grass parallel with the
caravan road "a path some ten inches
wide), and, having selected the most
edible member of the caravan, jumped
upon him like fash, and, selling him
disappeared as quickly as they came.
Our mail runners, attached to whom
were a couple of native police armed
with rifles, were several times attack
ed. Finally, as the wall party was
camping one night, fortunately for it
with native caravan, the lions be
came so bold that, in spite of fires, they
sprang upon a native and carried hin
off into the bush.-Mrs. S. L. Hinde IL

A Glasgow Cemetery.

The Metropolis cemetery, Glasgow,
as originally planned, contained al
most exactly twenty-four acres avail
able for burials, and it was suggested
that each division Of one acre should
be named after letter Of the Greek
alphabet, which contains twenty-four
characters. For various reasons this
idea has not been fully carried out,
but fifteen sections Of the cemetery
have been so named from alpha to
omega, the monosyllable letters be-
tween these being omitted. The names
have not been applied in any partic-
ular sequence, but with the aid of q
small map they are useful In locating
any particular spot in what is now one
of the most densely filed graveyards
In the kingdom.

Some Of the Numerous Theories ON
the Mysterious Current.
Well, what is it? 1t is scarcely pos
sible to say. There are thesries-many
Of them. 1t is evidently something of
which we cannot take a part. We can
not cut piece Of it of and subject it
to analysis, nor can we pour little of
it into bottle for future study and
contemplation. 1t is like the wind-its
effects can be measured; it's force,
strength and quantity can now be cal
culated to very nice degree. Still, to
liken it to the wind, it is stupendous
power, mighty typhoon, blowing, as
it were, without moving, two ways at
once along all parts Of it's path, giving
off a halo of magnetism at right angles
to that path everywhere.
One of the incest theories perhaps is
the one that considers. electricity 8
condition of atoms brought about by
chemical action, as in battery cell, or
by what might be called a severe irri-
tation Of the magnetic halo, as in dy.
namo. and by other means, such as heat
and friction.
What this condition is is beyond us.
1t may be violent rotation or it may
be an equally violent vibration of at
oms, but as no man has seen an atom
at any time, not even with the most
powerful microscope, it is impossible to
say Friction in some form or other is
present, as heat is produced before
burning or destruction takes place.

Wise nj. P..s.

It need hardly be pointed out. say
the author of Fifty Years In Flee.
Street., that to be elected a member
parliament does not necessarily imply
intellectual superiority. Shortly after
the Burmese war a young civilian

Burma. s.3
"Ah. yes, Burma said an NJ. E.

had a nephew who was in Burma, only
he used to call 1t Bermuda.

Ever Read a Cento Book:

"This volume" said the bibliophile,
''is cento. 1t is composed Of detach-
ed sentences taken from the works Of
Thackeray. 1t makes novel, sensible,
but short, and it was composed in sew
en- years by bedridden baroness. The
best known cento is probably the En-
press EudoXia's Life of Christ made
entirely of lines from Homer. There is
similar life, composed by Ross, that
consists wholly of detached lines from
Virgil. Centos are often very valuable.

from Millions Paradise Lost sold not
long since for $500. The book was a

The Word Derrick.

The word derrick for machine useC
to lift heavy weights is curiously de
rived from London hangman in thu
beginning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodore and who is
often mentioned in old plays. "He
rides circuit with the devil, and Der
rick must be his host, and Tyborne the
inn at which he will light" occurs ir
'The Bellman of London" publishet
In 1916. The name thus corrupted
came afterward to be applied, by al
easy transition, to the gallows and lat
er still to any frame or contrivance re
sembling it in shape.

Richard Bell in his book MY Strange

in armies straight ahead. and the con-
sequence was that when they encoun-
tered sheep drains which are open
drains about eighteen inches deep and
eighteen inches wide at the top, they
tulnbled into them in such numbers
that their dead bodies damned up the

Bored as the crowd was with his
