POWER OF HUMAN EYE IN
QUIETING WILD BEASTS

cover there is and maneuver to get at the
tail end of the buffalo and then make
his fatal spring.
With civilized men the tiger is more
wary, for he stands in more awe of their
appliances than of the brute strength of
the buffalo. Many hunter going through
the jungles has passed within an easy
spring of the tiger lying in wait for him
and before he has gone another 200 yards
the same tiger has again been in posi-
tion and vet has wanted the courage to
spring; even man-eating tiger If famil-
lar with firearms, might hesitate to spring
ON man that had the courage to con
front him.
m the jungle he would not attempt IT.;
if brought face TO face with man he
would crouch, and if the man did not turn
to flee the tiger would disappear as sud
denly as If the earth had swallowed him,
but in very few minutes he would have
secured the desired vantage ground and
made his fatal spring.
This is not because the tiger is a-cow-
ard nor because the human eye is ca
pallle OF dominating him. When 1t be-
comes a question of fighting there is no
sign of quailing in lion or tiger, but when
it is mere question of taking their
prey the destructive instinct is a purely
pleasureable one the enjoyment of which
would be marred if they attacked in front,
and provoked their prey to battle, and it
is a merciful provision of nature that they
show no such tendency.

Street Car Traffic.

The figures of street railway traffic
tell an interesting story Of New YorlSs
size If the statistics Of the state rail-
road commission are correct the COM
bined traffic lines carried an average Of
3,2Os, G37 passengers every day last year,
They probably carry more now for, like
everything else, their business is expand
ing. The grand total for the year was
Az. s47122, an increase OF 101,307,713 over
1904.
The figures show that the opening of
the subway system has taken away less
than IA per cent of the patronage of the
elevated lines, which some folks predicted
would have to go out of business when
the underground was opened.
The effect of the subway on the ele-
waited is shown by a falling off of A.
6s1. sos passengers on the latter SYSTEM.
the total having dropped from 292'646674
passengers in 1904 to 249, 1166 in 1903.
The subway traffic increased from l6,-
2A,se9 passengers in the last two months
OF 1904 to 116209,3l3 in the year 1905, and
the interborough business as a whole
subway and "Ln) increased from 30S,Sss,-
548 passengers 'in 1904 to 366,174,479 in 1905,
an increase of II per cent, with an m
crease of over 80 per. cent in facilities.
The surface lines of Manhattan showed
that they had practically recovered from
the effects of the opening Of the subway,
carrying 37s.72l637 passengers in 1905,
against 3S0.74s,591 in 1904, decrease OF
only 1.027,954, or one-eighth of ] per cent.

penew in Retreat.

1t is reported on apparently reliable au-
thority that Senator C.auncey Depew will
never occupy his place in the Senate
again. The senator has no intention OF
resignng but his health has failed SO fast
recently that for the last month he has
been in retirement on the Elliott r. Shep-
ard estate, back of Scarborough on the
Hudson His decline began with the
disclosures of his connection with the
Equitable in the insurance investigation.
BY friend he is described as being SO
broken ment. lily and physically that he
is i'm no condition again to take up an
active life
So closely is the senator guarded that
only a few persons living in the imme-
date neighborhood of the Shepard place
are able to say from their own knowledge
that he is in the villa" as the house
is known. If any employee on the Shep-
ard place is questioned as to the senator
he answers either with a well stimulated
stare of amazement or fatty denies that
he has even heard report as to the
senator's Whereabouts
But here and there can be found one
or two to admit having seen Mr.. Depew.
Every pleasant day lately he has been
taken for ride In an automobile, and
several times he has taken children of the
neighborhood as companions. They never
loved the senator more than they do
nowadays whatever change there may be
in the attitude of the world generally to-
ward him.
Except for caretakers,. Senator Depew
is practically alone on the two hundred
acre esate. The mansion built thirteen
years ago, stands vacant, as does the old
Wright homestead below it toward the
river Buried back in the hills, almost
concealed from view until one is within a

Galveston as a Great Gateway.

From Leslie's Weekly
For the fiscal year 1905, which ended on
June SOth last. the ports of the United
States stood in this order In value of eN-
ports: New York, New Orleans, Calves
ton, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Sa-
vannah, San Francisco and Puget Sound
Seattle and Tacoma). Galveston was
the third place. But for the calendar
year 1906 which ended ON December 31st
Galveston went to the second place, pass
ing New Orleans For the calendar year
1905 New York's exports were s559 900,
Galvestons $3.50, 100000, and New Orleans
Si44000,000. For three years the race
had been close between New Orleans and
Galveston. but now the Texas port has
gone to the front and is likely TO stay
there In exports of cotton, cottonseed
products and wheat, Galveston leads New
York, New Orleans and all the other
ports Of the world. As an exporting
point for corn, live stock. lumber, iron
ore and other products, 1t is making
great strides forward. As the trans
Mississippi region produces sixty per
cent. of the products we export, and as
Galveston is the only port of any conse-
uuence between the big river and the
Rocky Mountains, her future as great
