COON VERSUS A WILDCAT.
Little Animal Vanquishes Big Beast
Weighing IT'S Pounds-The
Former Unscathed.

Louisville, Ky.-James A. McCallum
has mountain lion that he is now will
ing to part with to anyone as gracious
gift. When he received the fine looking
cougar few days ago from friend in
the Rocky mountains he thought that
he had an animal that could whip any,
thing that wore hair, but when the king
OF mountain beasts was fought to a
standstill recently by an ordinary old
rlng-tailed coon McCallum lost heart.
The lion was seen few days ago in his
cage by Jack Cook. The lion tipped the
beam at ITS pounds, but Cook said his
coon could lick him.
The other morning Cooks coon was
thrown into the cage with the lion. The
fight began at once. The lion made
vicious strokes with his paw at the coon,
but the willy little animal proved to be
an adept at lodging all the blows. No
quicker would the blow of the lion
prove futile than the coon would grab
him by the throat, and begin to claw
with all his might. He would soon
loosen his hold and jump away. This
was repeated for about Is minutes.
when the lion, bleeding profusely,
skulked to corner, and refused to bat
tie further.
The coon was taken out of the cage
with hardly scratch on him, and ap-
parently proud Of his work with his
heavy antagonist. The little ring-tailed
animal weighs about 20 pounds, but
Jack Cook says he is worth his weight
in gold.

VAST EN NGlNEs FOR BORING
Those for the Pennsylvania Tunnel
81 in New York Being Made VIZ s$5l 5sS..
~. Assembled in Pittsburg. Il

Pittsburg. -Four Of the big shields
to be used in boring the great tunnels
of the Pennsylvania railroad between
the Hudson and East rivers in It's
costly entrance into New York city are
fast approaching completion ] at the
Leetsdale works of the Ritter -Conlcy
Manufacturing company. The COM
pany's WOrkmen have been engaged
upon these for months, and the task
was so unusual even for company az
customed to handling great things that
special air-driven tools for the boring
and roaming of the steel had to. be
made.
The boring machines consist of enOr-
nous steel cylinders "a feet in diane
ter and 16 feet long. Each cylinder
without the machinery weighs $50
tons, and the machinery will weigh as
much as the shields. The cylinders
are made up of three thicknesses of
half7,inch steel plates riveted together.
Within this cylinder is placed the bor-
ing edge Of cast steel, the diaphragms
air locks and other apparatus ncces-'
sary to drive the tunnel beneath the
rivers. The cylinder moves with the
cutting edge.
1t will be necessary to assemble the
boring machines here and then knock
them down for transit to New York. 1t
is particularly gratifying, when any
steel work of unusual magnitude is tC
be done, the country at large finds it
absolutely necessary to come to Pitts
burg. Not only in the magnitude of
it's steel operations, but also in it's
ability to do the. best work the very
quickest is Pittsburg maintaining it's
lead as the steel-making city of the
world.
