 Then he set to work to make some fresh pills for the cure of greediness, bad temper and effectiveness, and took them at once to the people who had suffered through Johnny's mis- chievousness; and when he had ex- plained what had happened, and beg. ged them to let him set things right, they were only too glad to accept the pills and pay for them.

 Training zebras in London.
 A little time back some experiments were made at the Geological Gardens in training certain individuals of the large stud of zebras exhibited there. A well-known trainer undertook the work, and proceeded to break in the zebras like ordinary colts.
 At first the experiment seemed to promise well, and some of the hand somest zebras allowed their keepers to ride them, and 1t was thought that they might become available for carrying children about the grounds.
 Unfortunately, however. one of the most valuable specimens died rather suddenly, and, as 1t was thought not impossible that it's death was indirectly brought about by the shock and strain of breaking in, 1t was decided to aban- don the experiment.

 Why, then, should not the zebra be domesticated and broken to labor? But the task of Somesticating this animal has proved to be no easy one. The zebra's nerves seem to be excep- tionally highly strung, and however long it may have been kept in cap tivity and accustomed to the sight and sound of human beings, it is ale ways ready to take fright and to dash off at an unexpected sight or sound. Hence its very nervousness units 1t for use in the streets, except to a limited extent.
 Its vicious temper also constitutes a very real difficulty Although at times captive zebra will seem quiet enough and will even appear to ap-

 Where the Horse is Useless.

 The question of transport animals has always been one of the most serious problems that the African explorer has to face.

 Now light the wick or alcohol, and platinum wire and make 1t red hot.
 In a few moments put out the flame. You wilt then discover the astonishing fact that the platinum wire, far from gradually cooling, will grow steadily hotter (the wick being warm enough to promote a continuous vaporization of the alcohol and the vapor being steadily absorbed by the platinum wtre) and as
