THE UNMENTIONABLE FI2zLE

The extreme editorial junction with
which the morning paper deals with
the ridiculous ending of its ridiculous,
though vicious, gambling crusade goes
far toward convincing the public that
age and failure do not soften the spite
OF the Knockers Compact.
The organ goes almost into Mysteries
In asserting that no one but itself-not
even the court-could discover any o.
pecial value in the "damning evidence"
furnished the court by one of its gum
shoe. reportorial agents. There is no
doubt that the Knockers Compact Is
swearing mad but as far as the public
can make out. and the court this morn
ing appears to be Of the same opinion.
the most of its time is devoted to
heaping imprecations upon the heads

Charles Moore, and two japanese,
Sam Apoleona and Hirano, charged

running percentage games in build.
ing on the mauka side of King street
near Liliha, were discharged on a lack
OF evidence by Police Justice Whitney
this morning. Before adjournment
yesterday afternoon Attorney Frank
Il. Thompson made a motion that the
defendants be dismissed.
After announcing his decision Judge
Whitney reviewed the case briefly. He
said that although personally he be-
liered actual gambling on percentage
basis had been carried on in the place,
there was not enough evidence pro.

nor any of the other witnesses, in.

of all the witnesses testimony ! do

Further the court stated that alto.

run on a percentage. He also referred
to the information given by the com

Miyamoto, a gambler, who made poor
representative for the prosecution.
IL had been established that money
had been exchanged by means OF
games Of chance but no positive proof
was shown that the banker or head

out Of the saddle. Whilst the lion
rushed after the horse, another lion
dashed up, seized Wolhuter by the
right shoulder and trotted off with
him, growing the while as a cat does
when walking off with a mouse. The
lion carried it's victim with his face
upwards, and though Wolhuter suf-
fered terrible pain he luckily kept his
senses. After trot of 200 yards the
ranger recollected that his knife was
in his sheath in his belt. With the
utmost difficulty he managed to draw
it with his left hand, and when the
lion came to a stand at the foot of
great tree Wolhuter stabbed it twice
with his left hand in the region Of
the heart. The lion dropped him at
once and he struck at its throat with
all his force. The animal now jumped
back few feet, but still growing.
Remembering the effect which the
human voice is said to have upon wild
animals, Wolhuter stood up and vio-
lently abused the lion at the pitch of
his voice. The creature turned tail,
then began to moan, and by and by

REVOLVING FIGURES.

With the following simple appar-
atus one can play very amusing
game of chance: Glue around the in
side rim of circular dish of white
porcelain, as shown in our illustra-
ton, number Of little cardboard fig
ures Of men or animals, or simply
sketch thereon, with ink, similar fig
ures or numerals, equidistant from
one another.
Place the dish, thus furnished, in
an ordinary dish Of somewhat larger
size, containing a little water. You
will then have to give but slight i'm
pulse with the hand to the smaller
dish to set it spinning within the 9TH
er. A statuette,, or other small OBJ
ject, to serve as winning
should be placed just outside the
larger dish at any given point of it's
circumference.
Thus arranged, the apparatus may
be made to afford much amusement to
the family circle, each person choosing
any number or figure he pleases. The
figure then which stops nearest the
winning post, without overpassing it,
is the winner.
An amusing effect is produced if
you repeat the same figure, but with
arms, in different positions. Thus the
first figure has his hands hanging
down close by his sides; the next VIII
have them a little farther from his
body: the third will have then, ey

ing little higher, and the last will
have them raised above his head.

climh5u the tree, which was fortunate,
as the other lion came bounding along,
with the rangers dog bravely chasing
him. It charged the dog a few times,
but presently grew tired of the, sport
and went away. Wolhuter now tied
himself to the branches, lest he might
faint and tumble down, but his black
boys coming up, they removed him to
camp, and then took him to Barberton
hospital. Although blood-poisoning
set in, he gradually recovered after
several weeks in bed; but it was
months before he could use his right

after the encounter his horse was
found not much the worse for the
gashes inflicted by the lions claws.

A FIGURE z Story.

The figure has always played an
important part in history. 1t may be
interesting for boys and girls to read
a few of the traditions in which it
figures. 1t is said in ancient history
that on the 7th day of the 7th month
there was a holy observance ordered
to the children of Israel. They Toasted
days and stayed Z days in their
tents. The 7th year was a year Of
rest. At the end of times years be-
gan a year of jubilee. Every 7th year
the land lay fallow. Every years
there was a grand release from debt
and bondsmen were set free.
Perhaps from these old laws came
the later customs in which the magi cal
plays so important part A young
man was bound out to service for Z
years Prisoners were confined for Z
years or IA or 81, according to their
offense In olden times a child was
not named until it was days old,
because he was not thought really
alive until then. The teeth in a prop
erly constructed child are looked for
in the 7th month, and in the 18th
year they are. expected to leave the
gums in favor of set number two. A
man becomes of age at 81; at 4x7 he
is supposed to be in full possession of
his physical strength; at 7x5 he is
mentally equipped at his best; at 7x6
if he is ever to become grave and
full of wisdom, then is the proper time
for him to begin. At 7x7 he is at the
full tide of life, and after that, accord
ing to this terrible rule of Z, he is to
go down hill at a times rate Of
speed.

THUNDER IN A GOBLET.

Did you ever hear of thunder in

be miniature thunder, or it would
shatter the goblet; and, indeed, it is
so small an edition Of it that the noise
is like the popping of cork from
bottle. But the principle of the thun-
der is, nevertheless, there-that is,
the inrushing of air to fill a vacuum.
Here is a pretty experiment show
ing this: Take two goblets and place
them mouth to mouth; then put
around them, where the brims meet,
rubber band about an inch in width,
to prevent the passage Of air.

Queer Means of Livelihood,

To lie on ones back and kick ones
heels in the air seems a singular, even
an impossible, way Of earning liv-

tain men employed on canals get their
bread and butter. Their mission in
life is to propel the barges through
the tunnels, and they do this by lying
on their backs il the harges and push
ing them along by means Of vigorous
kicks at the tunnel walls. It seems to
be quite merry, healthy occupation,
too; for these ''leggers" invariably

them as before, and that to pull them
apart requires more force than when
they were empty. The reason is that
the water does not expand like air,
so that, the moment you begin to pull
the goblets apart, the vacuum is
formed; and the pressure of the out
side air makes them adhere more
closely because the vacuum is greater.
You may think that it is the rubber
band that is holding the goblets to-
gether, but still another experiment
will show you that the only purpose
served by the band is to make tight
joint so that air cannot pass through
