APPETITES OF WILD,

\ very lucrative if somewhat
speculative industry is the traffic
of wild animals. saws the Mechan-
zeal World Magazine. The stock
is most difficult and expensive to

for square feet. but for whole
acres of space. and when one con
siders that single elephant will
make away with 80 pounds OF

realize what Il scrious matter il
is to keep stock of wild beasts

A Survival of the Guy Fawl6es Day OF

Those who are not satisfied unless
everything is explained have puzzled not
a little over the growing custom of ceie-
brating Thanksgiving day by parades
of curiously clad boys and girls, toot-
ing horns and accosting passersby.
The theory most favored Is that the
custom is survival of the English an
nual rejoicings over Guy Fawkes day;
This Is the explanation adopted by
Prof. Brander Matthews and other
scholars.
Guy Fawkes lived in the last years
of the sixteenth century and gained fame
by being the best known member OF

up the houses of parliament by firing

Toulon, France. Nov. 26.-The tor
pedo ship Algeciras, stationed in this
harbor was totally destroyed by fire
at late hour this evening. There
were 500 men on board when the fire
broke out, but it is believed that most
of them were saved.
The Algeciras was ship of the
line and for a number of years past
she had been doing duty as a harbor
vessel and employed as torpedo
training ship. She was OF 5047 tons
displacement and was built in 1866.
Great Alarm In the City.
The burning of the school ship ere
ated the greatest alarm throughout
the city. News of the fire was first
conveyed at about IL O'Clock by the
firing of cannon in the harbor. The
people hurriedly left the cafes and the
aters and rushed to the docks, whence
they could see the Algeciras, mass OF
fame in the harbor. The burning yes
sci stood out brillianCly in the en-
circling darkness and the glare of the
flames lighted up the other shipping
and the coast and wharves.
There was terrible anxiety concern
ing the fate of the 500 men on board
until the authorities announced that
everybody had been taken off in boats
and saved, with the exception of three
Those men did not answer the roll call
and it is presumed they were burned
to death.
Assistance In Plenty.
The entire garrison here was called
out to render assistance and the crews
of the warships of this division hur-
riedly launched their boats TO go to
the rescue of their comrades, who we're
