PASSING OF THE LION.
Once Mighty Brute Losing Ground
Before Civilization.

Before Civilization.
The lion, like the other great cats, is
a relic of a diminishing race and do
minion. In the early stone age the
"cave" lion roamed throughout the
southern half of Europe, and it is be-
lieved that along the Mediterranean, at
least its extinction was due to prehis-
toric man.
The battle has gone on ever since.
Long ago lions were exterminated
from Afghanistan, Baluchistan and
northern Persia. A century ago they
were more or less prevalent on north
western India, but now none remain
save a few in the Cheer wooded
billy tract of Kattiawar, where they
are ito some extent preserved by the
nawabs of Joonaghoor;" Farsistan,
where the marshes about Niris lake af-
ford shelter and the hosts of pigs
feeding on the acorns of the oak forests
furnish subsistence.
Similar conditions enable few lions
to maintain themselves along the lower
Euphrates and Tigris, but they were
long ago exterminated from all Asia
Minor, Syria, Arabia. Egypt and Alge-
ria. From Abyssinia and the southern
Sahara southwark to the Orange river
lions still exist except in the most pop
ulous districts, and in some places are
very numerous.
There seems never to have been more
than one species. nor, in spite of the
former belief in the ''maneless lions of
Guzerat" and the "black named" ones
of other places, is any variety we'll 10
called. Lions with full names have
been shot in India as well as those
with hardly any, and ''out of fifty male
lion skins scarcely two will be found
alike in color and length of name

How many men would be needed to
pun a weight hauled by an elephant?
Fifty. The answer is tire result of re-
the respective pulling power of horses,
men and elephants. Two horses
weighing 1,600 pounds each, together
pulled $3.50 pounds, or $50 pounds
more thai their combined weight One
elephant, weighing 1900 pounds, pull
ed $3.50 pounds. or $3.50 pounds less
than his weight. Fifty men, aggregat-
ing about 1900 pounds In weight, pull
ed $3.50 pounds or. just as much as the
single elephant. But. like the horses.
they pulled more than their own
weight One hundred men pulled H.

THE FLAG REVERSED.
A Fisherman's Emblem That Tells of
Distress and Hope.


One of the frequent sights in the
ports along the eastern coast is that of
q fishing schooner coming into the har-
Dor with an American flag hoisted at
the mainmast head in its reverse posi-
ton. To the interested spectators that
flag always brings pang of distress,
for it means that one or more of the
crew are missing" through some calam-
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe. The flag is hoisted
from their viewpoint, to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
for long time before they acknowl-
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost.
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant, and he was set
right by the captain, who remarked in
the most cheerful way in the world:
They're missing out of tn crew, of
course, but we haven't given them up
by a long sight Ye see, they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried off to tn other side.
Oh, no, we don't give them up just be-
cause we've missed them! It's more
than likely they'll turn up yet."-New

Lovelock Gets Water.

The question of getting sup
ply of water for the Lovelock wa
ter system has been successfully
solved.
With the 6-inch centrifugal
pump and the 4o-horse power gaso-
line engine, Mr.. Bonner has been
steadily sinking the 26-foot casing
through the various strata of
clay, adobe and sand underlying
the valley, and now has struck
the vein of sand and gravel that
carries such strong flow of water
that they could hardly keep it
pumped out SO as to complete the
well.
This is not surface water, though
the we'll is but 26 feet deep, for
they have gone through two
strata of hard blue clay and are in
a vein of gravel and sand-prob-
ably an old river channel.
1t is good quality of water and
of sufficient volume to keep the
big pump ordered for, the system
pumping steadily for many hours.
1t will be almost impossible to
pump this we'll dry, if the expert
ence in sinking is any criterion,
and it is with great pleasure that
the Lovelockers watch the stream
of water come pouring from the
pump.
The work of building the con-
crete bases for the tank is being
rushed and soon the piping will
be here and the mains be laid,
and then Lovelock will have some
thing long nceded--a water sys-

There was publlShed recently
in the Los Angeles Times letter
from Paris, giving a remarkable
interview with Senator Meline, a
famous French authority on in.
dustrial questions. Mr.. Meline
believes that the world is in dan.
ger of a great crisis, owing to the
over-production Of manufactured
goods and neglect of agriculture.
He thinks the time has come to
restore the worlds compromised
economical equilibrium. Hitherto,
the consumption of manufactured
goods has been constantly stimu-
lated by reductions in price. owing
to improved methods in manufac-
ture. Evidently this cannot 60 on
forever. Therefore, we must lead
men back to the earth. This is
true not only of the United States,
but of other countries also, where
there has been a constant tend
ency of population to crowd into
the cities.
In the United States, not only
have our farmers been leaving the
country and crowding into cities,
but during the past few years they
have started another immigration,
namely, into western Canada.
This is quite remarkable move
ment. Americans have been cross
ing the Canadian line at the rate
of $4,000 a year, and the stream is
constantly increasing i'll dimen-
sions. They are given by the
Canadian government 100 acres of
fine, rich. black, virgin soil, abso-
lutely free, for each male over IS
years of age, and this soil will pro-
duce from twenty to forty bushels
of wheat an acre. Winnipeg, the
capital of this vast territory, is al
ready a city of over 100000 popu-
lation, and growing like Los An
geles. This year western Canada
will produce 100000 bushels
of wheat. And that is only the
beginning. These men belong to
the class that form the backbone
and sinew of the country-sturdy
honest, hard-working. self-respect-
ing Americans. Thus, while these
people are leaving the country by
