Rice Industry OF the south.

From the Nep orleans TINES DenorrU.
In 1904 the United States changed from rice
importing TO a rice exporting country. In lSsJ
we imported 100000 pounds OF ncc and sx-
ported 100000. In 100, our rAports OF nee IT.
creased so per cent. our imports declined 20 per

will be even better.
The encouraging feature Is the finding o. foreign
market for our rice. There Is no Limit TO the

Natures Stranye Bombs.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A Philadelphia girl who spent part Of the
winter in the South brought back with her
some shells OF a small marine snail about
half an inch in diameter which she picked up
on the shore OF Mobile Bay.
When she reached this city and unpacked
her trunks she noticed an unpleasant odor.
and Investigation showed it to be due to these
shells. which she had packed up with other
trea sure trove. While she was tax ing the
shells from the trunk one of them dropped
on the uncarpeted floor and exploded with a
loud report. Trying the remaining shells.
there were only two out OF the nine she had that
did not explode under similar treatment. -.
The scientific explanation is that each shell
was closed by membrane formed by the
drying of the animals slime. while the gases
OF the shell filled the air chamber with con-
siderable pressure.

Mexican Territory.
Tigers. driven from their mountain lsirs

Of food. continue TO ravage the haciendas
OF the valleys. They are becoming suoh
a general danger. says the Mer,cdn Herald,
that the municipal authorities have offered
. reward Of $40 for every tigers skin.
For tho past several months great num-
bers Of the animals have swarmed through
tho marshes Of tho lowlands along the coast
and In tho valleys Of the Territory of Topic,
having been driven out Of the States OF
Sinaloa and Sonora by the floods and the
extremely cold weather. The damage
caused to the haciendadcs and the danger
incurred by the presence Of the animals
was such that many Of them offered re-
wards for the skins Of the animals some
time ago.
The tigers, DO viewer, seem to like tho
warm weather and the, good food that
they are getting In Topic and instead OF
decreasing their numbers have greatly

comes in their path Several deaths are
reported in different parts Of the Territory.
In many sections of the State it is necessary
to have armed guards stationed at night
to insure the safety OF the other people in
the settlements.
Live stock is suffering more than any
thing else. With the slight provisions
that are necessary for the shelter OF stock
it leaves them in most cases without any
protection at all from the beasts Even
the presence Of numerous guards around
a bunch Of cattle is oftentimes insufficient
to keep the tigers from getting away with an
animal or two from along the edges OF
the herd.
Hunting for the animals has been
greatly stimulated by the offer Of the Gov
eminent and scores Of hunters are securing
the country for them. The, number OF the
skins that have been turned In thus far is
large and it is hoped that 1t will not be
long before the animals are driven taoA to
the seclusion Of the mountains.
